I’m listening through the #Fedivision entries, and I think I’ve encountered the first one I will probably give one of my three votes to. But I don’t think I’ve made it even 1/4 of the way through the entries at this point and I’m not listening in order, in case anyone was curious.
Realizing the time constraints most musicians were under, my criteria are pretty simple. I ask myself these questions:
Is the song good?
And is the performance, production, mixing/mastering adequate so as to not be a hindrance?
Both of these are subject to my taste and standards of what I consider “good” and “adequate” of course, but I enjoy a wide variety of music and try hard to be unbiased.
That being said, if your song has a sustained, ringing resonant frequency in it that MAKES MY BAHA FEED BACK, it will seriously count against you. Sorry, but you literally physically hurt me and I don’t appreciate that. 😭 😫 :AAAAAA:
Also I’m referring to all the #Fedivision entries as “songs” but ofc I realize that technically speaking, a song is music & lyrics. Any track that does not have lyrics is classified as a composition.
Although I GREATLY enjoy singing & therefore songs, that will not bias me in my selections! If anything, anyone who submitted an entry with singing means they have more criteria by which they will be evaluated—the vocal performance (is it adequate?) & the lyrics (are they good?).
Aight, I've listened through all 72 entries, written down the 12 or so that caught my ear, and will listen through again tomorrow. I need to go follow some new (to me) fellow #FediMusicians!
