Less than 24hrs to go before Fedivision 2024 kicks off!!

So many amazing and talented artists submitting 72 Original songs written specially for Fedivision and we are less than 24 hours away from hearing those submissions and voting for your favourites!

Each entrant was asked to provide a fictional faction to represent in the Fedivision Song Contest. Each of these factions has a four-letter code associated with it which will be your voting code. For example, my fictional faction is Dizzy Corp. and the four letter code is DIZZ.

Everyone who holds a Fediverse account is eligible to vote for three contestants. A full list of Factions represented, along with their four-letter codes is in the thread below.

Due to brexit related supply issues and heavy budget cuts, funding for the royal portrait can only supply the artist with a single colour.

Looking to get into but don’t know where to start?

Not sure which song is right for you?

Here’s a handy guide to help you choose your special track!

Looking for a good pub rock song with rip-your-face-off guitars and sing-along chorus? Try the heavy-rock sounds of “Proud Woman”.
https://songwhip.com/dgar/proud-woman

Perhaps something more orchestral is to your liking? I offer you the instrumental “Icarus”.
https://songwhip.com/dgar/icarus

If you enjoy a little synth in your rock, there’s the Mastodon Monday favourite “It’s Always Monday On The Moon”.
https://songwhip.com/dgar/its-always-monday-on-the-moon

Maybe you’re in the mood for a good soppy love song? I’ve got you covered… in pure sop. Just me and a clean Fender Stratocaster with “Cilla”
https://soundcloud.com/dgarmusic/cilla

How about a dark emotional bass number with “Only the Music”?
https://songwhip.com/dgar/only-the-music

Or a poppin’ pop song might be what you’re craving. “Space Pop” even!
https://songwhip.com/dgar/space-pop

No? Ummm… oh! I know! Driving rock song! “Little Black Hatchback” with the synth solo and vroom vroom car sounds…
https://songwhip.com/dgar/littleblackhatchback

Still no? Okay then. Stoner rock!! You like that right? “Gettin’ Stoned”.
https://songwhip.com/dgar/gettinstoned

Rebellious grunge? There’s “Flat World” which has nothing to do with Flat Earth, in case anyone was thinking that.
https://songwhip.com/dgar/flat-world

Well okay, it does go a bit progressive-rock with “Splinter In The Minds Eye”.
https://soundcloud.com/dgarmusic/splinter-in-the-minds-eye

Greek Mythology? There’s a bit of that with “Daedalus”.
https://songwhip.com/dgar/daedalus

Okay, how about an angry angsty thrashy breakup song? “Anymore”
https://soundcloud.com/dgarmusic/anymore

Alright, I’m running out of songs here… surely I can find something for you… umm. The space-rock song that fails to answer that age old question of ‘what she said’ - “Airlock”
https://songwhip.com/dgar/airlock2024

My ‘Indie Musician Anthem’ with rock guitar, two-note guitar solo, and mosh-dance bass? “Digital Busker”
https://songwhip.com/dgar/digitalbusker

Here’s my last hope. This is “Stupid”.
https://songwhip.com/dgar/stupid2024

Well, there is one more. If you like punk rock songs about zombies, that is, but you’ll need to wait for Fedivision 2024 to start before you can listen to “All Zombies Go To Heaven”.

And if you didn’t like anything here, make sure you check out all the other contestants with their massive range of genres and styles of music. Check the hashtag for the latest updates!

is acting when they are being recorded.

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in tempo and pitch when performing a piece, especially when it’s an original song that you’re still trying to work out parts of the melody. But even if you manage to land all your lyrics on the beat and hit the right notes, I find that a recording can still sound lifeless or weak.

I try to address this by “acting”, by being the character that would be telling the story or singing that song, by channeling their emotions into the performance.

I heard a cover band once play Enter Sandman by Metallica. They nailed it, note for note, but even though the vocalist was in time and in key, they didn’t sound the slightest bit angry. This made the performance feel… somewhat unsatisfactory. I feel it needs to be sung with red hot fury and blind hatred in the words. Their performance has stuck with me, and it’s resulted in me making a conscious effort to embody some kind of character for each song.

So anyway, I’m a zombie in my entry.
