Hello, everyone! Micah here, excited to announce that SpinTunes 24 will be happening March 1 to May 5, 2025 . SpinTunes is a four-round tournament for songwriters and recording artists. In each round, contestants receive a challenge prompt and have nine days to write and record a brand-new song that...

We're going to keep the deadline because I've already received at least one submission. We've accepted slightly late submissions already, so I can't imagine we wouldn't accept something that came in modestly late. Just get it in as close to the deadline as you can. I can respect the answer but I ca...

View from the Bottom Micah Sommersmith There is light shining somewhere above me, There is somebody there who could love me. There is sea breeze and salt air and open sky, But here am I. Musically, I was inspired by Baroque-era chorale preludes, in which a slow chorale is used as a cantus firmus, w...

Given the oblique, open-ended challenge, is it acceptable/useful to include a statement in the submission email about how we fulfilled the challenge, or should we let the songs speak for themselves?

With no eliminations, could someone skip one or more rounds and just score 0s across the board for that round, and still be eligible for the following round?

A Grand Parade All the Robots Every night I’m dreaming Of my affairs from way back when And I wake up screaming From that same nightmare again All my doomed romances On the boulevard arrayed The flings and dalliances Form a sinister parade Yes it’s all in my mind This obscene cavalcade But how it d...

Did I hallucinate or did somebody say there's a Discord? If so, anybody got a link?

If you signed up for SpinTunes 22, the email I sent on March 1 announcing the first challenge also has a Discord invite link.

Sign-ups are now open for SpinTunes 22, which will run from March 2 to May 6, 2024. In each of the four rounds of competition, contestants will have nine days to write and record a brand-new song in response to a specific challenge prompt. You'll receive feedback from our judges and get ranked again...

I don't know that anyone has been disqualified since Dave (and later Micah) took the reins, but I don't follow as closely as I used to, so they might have. Dave DQed Glen Raphael in ST15.2 for writing a parody song without original music - that's the only time I can remember anyone getting disquali...

ST21 Round 2 Challenge September: it's a time of changes. In the Northern Hemisphere, you may be seeing leaves begin to turn, and feel that first fall chill in the air. In the Southern Hemisphere, the days are getting longer and flowers are beginning to bloom. Wherever you are, change is key. So we...
