Actual Competition - 1 Minute Wonders

Since James Leeds suggested the idea of making songs that lasted around 1 minute in length the 1 Minute Wonder SoundCloud group went a bit mental as people wrote and added all their bestest efforts. There were loads of great ones.

Now, in light of the project’s success, NRONE Records of Norwich have offered to put out a 7” album of 1 Minute Wonders.

10 Tracks will be selected by July 1st, from tracks already submitted, and from whatever else can be submitted by then. So get writing and submit your entries via the SoundCloud group here.

Being a competition there have to be some rules, boring yeah whatever, it’ll stop you crying if you think someone’s cheating!

RULES

1. NO SAMPLES, ALL TRACKS MUST BE 100% COPYRIGHT OF THE ARTIST, UNRELEASED AND UNPUBLISHED.

2. ALL SONGS MUST BE 60 Seconds long. +/- 5 second tolerance.

3. STRICTLY NO EDITS OF LONGER SONGS.

4. THE PRIZE FOR THE COMPETITION WINNERS IS APPEARING ON THE 7” ALBUM, NO ALTERATIVE PRIZES GIVEN.

The winners will be picked by James Leeds with norwichmusic.com and Kingsley Harris

One Minute Wonder 7” being released for Record Store Day

NRONE are celebrating Record Store Day (April 16th - check it) by releasing a 12 track album of 1 minute songs on a single 7” Vinyl.

Based on an original concept by *ahem* NRMU staff, 1 minute contributions haven’t stopped coming in since the idea began 6 months ago, but there aren’t enough Norwich (or Norwich related) artists for the limited edition Vinyl version.

SO… if you’re Norwich based, get off your arse, write and record a one minute song and post it to the Soundcloud group before Weds 16th March. Yep, that’s NEXT WEEK

One Minute Song Competition

This started by James Leeds, of popular beat combo Tin Man, in a tweet:

How about a little competition? We each write a 1min song - most drama crammed wins @jameselliottwit @redcassette @navyhasties @sargassotrio

Seemingly amazed by the fact that people did as he asked, he’s now asked me to ask you to join in too. 

So if anyone feels inspired and has the means to do so, make a song of no more than 1 minute in length and send it in to the Souncloud group. We’ll feature the winner here, pride of place, on the blog. Good luck.
