Still have 15 or so #fedivision2024 songs to listen to. Amazing variety so far. And a couple of standouts for me, but a lot of other contenders. I wish you could vote for more than 3 entries. 10 would be nice 😄.
Something like a film festival? Best vocals? Best synth programming? Best guitar solo? Best chord progression? Best Lyrics? Best bonk / not bonk? #fedivision2024
So I’m sitting in the lounge-room, on the lounge, because that’s where I sit when I sit in the lounge-room, and as I’m sitting, I’m listening to the #Fedivision2024 stream on #RadioFreeFedi, when suddenly, a gorilla starts throwing barrels! Throwing barrels!!
(Gorilla Barrels by dysphoricUnicorn (@dysphoricunicorn) - vote code NNYO)
And then the Aardvarks were all misaligned!!!

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.
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:
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!
I would also like to sincerely applaud everyone who's taken part in #fedivision2024. It takes serious balls to not only create something, but then make it available in a public forum. Even if the song you posted isn't to my particular tastes or doesn't win, you have my genuine respect and I think you're amazing.
I was blown away by how good the AI vocals are on “Federation” by Marcus Bointon (@Synchro). Absolutely superb. Good lyrics speak on the state of social media too. Vote code TCRE
Reminder that we've got live-chat going on RFF at the moment, simulcast with the popup channel.
It's playing the #FediVision2024 entries in alphabetical order by code - we're up to #LAPU at the moment. And that means that #NOTH should be up in the not-too-distant future!
You can play the popup channel, or click through to the chat from here:
Today is the first day of #FediVision2024! You have a week to listen to them all and vote for your favourites. The process is described on the website, where you can also listen to the songs!
I also put a song in, representing The Anti-Stairs-Syndicate (TASS) so you can vote for it if you really like the bleep bloop OR if you really hate stairs and nobody will know which 😎
To kickoff the voting period we'll have chat on for a bit as we are simulcasting our pop-up to the video/chat channel. The community will announce more hangouts fo the week.
