Your music + my vocals?
Only a few more days... thank you everyone who submitted music... There are several of you I would like to try a song collaboration with, and if I can award more than one winner, I will do so... if not, I think I will base it on how much I like my own contribution to your songs.
By the way, since starting this contest, I ran into a website specificly for musical collaborating on the web: kompoz.com For those of you interested seeking collaborators, this is really a neat deal, musicians all over the web connecting. For those of you interested in selling your music, it may or maynot be good, I'm not sure... the music takes on a different kind of copyright form... check it out... I've found alot of inspiration there, as well as with all the music you at Musikpitch were kind enough to share with me. Please continue to make that music that only you can make! --Deanna
Hi everyone! I'm a songwriter too, though more of the non-professional-just-me-in-the-computer-room variety. I love playing around creating music but don't adequately play any instruments... (Unfortunately!) I've played around a lot with garageband to make compositions to accompany my vocals, but cutting and pasting loops is tedious and it is a struggle to create the organic quality that musicians who can play their own instruments create (including when they use their own loops), at least this is the case for me.
My target audience is myself, then you, then my friends and family. If you can please yourself you have certainly done at least something right! Check out my vocal sample... it would sound better with the music I created it to, but I don't have that artist's permission to post her music on the web, so it's just my voice... It gives you a good idea of what I can sound like... if you like the sound of my voice, consider letting me experiment with one of your songs if you think it could work... It would be awesome to find the person whose strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa. But really, for those willing, I'm open to a sense of play and hoping some of you are too. And for those of you who actually make a living as musicians, well my hat's off to you! Congratulations on making something so fun into a career... I've pretty much accepted that this is, for myself, just a lovely hobby...but I hope that those of us that are not as fortunate (with talent or luck or ambition), never stop creating music. Because it is beautiful, and a song worth singing (so to speak.) So my hat's off too us little guys too... and if you feel like sharing your music with me, regardless of whether I feel I can add something too it or not, I would be honored... and I hope a few of you will... and all of you will take my encouragement to heart. Don't stop creating... we make music!

I'd love to collaborate with you if you create music that has enough open space for vocal melodies, and I feel inspired by your creation. Any genre/style/level can apply. You may be like me, mixing loops. I'd still love to hear you work. Are you open to a non-professional playing around with your song and taking it somewhere new? Surely, this is just for fun, I can't offer you more than that. But if you would like some vocals on your music, (my lyrics tend to be unintelligible), and I find your music calls to me, I will joyfully work for hours coming up with some surprising things. See if you like the sound of my voice, and if it is appealing to you, consider submitting a song.
