:new: We're still alive! Not many updates this month, but we'll have some more features! :)

Also, I'd love to hear what you think about this group, and hear any ideas you have that could help improve it. Do you know of any current music events that have not been listed here? Any comments will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

DeviantART Mixtape and Mixtape/Album Cover Contest!

:bulletorange: If you want to know more about the mixtape and how you could get your music featured, please visit: deviantartmusicians.deviantart… or read this: news.deviantart.com/article/74…

The Mixtape cover contest is now officially over. The judges will be choosing the best design and should be decided in the next few weeks. :D

A huge multimedia collaboration!</u>

:bulletorange: I've not recieved any updates about ScorpionHenchman's Multimedia project, but it is still running. It will feature a large collaboration between any audio, visual and literature artists who want to be involved. Any creative work you can add to the project will be welcomed. For more details, please read: scorpionhenchman.deviantart.co…

Bringing these different communities together is one of our aims as a group. Hopefully, running projects like this will bring us closer to achieving this, as well as recognition for everyone involved!

Are you good at designing avatars?</u>

:bulletorange: TriggerTheory are a band from New Zealand who have just joined deviantART. They are looking for someone who can design an avatar for them, and whichever design gets chosen will be featured in DigitalFear's and many other journals around dA. If you're interested, please note them for further details! :)

Would you like to do a collab with a lyricist?

:bulletorange: roxas72191 is a songwriter who specialises in writing lyrics. He is looking for someone who can collaborate with him, and put some music to his lyrics. If you're interested, send him a note. Thanks :)

Chatroom!</u>

:bulletorange: We now have a chatroom! :D You can find us here: chat.deviantart.com/chat/Music… This was JarvisGanon's idea, so blame him!

Features!</u>

:iconrihoko-nara: Rihoko-Nara writes concept music based on fictional character themes. My favourites are: rihoko-nara.deviantart.com/art… and rihoko-nara.deviantart.com/art…. Many more can be found in her gallery.

:iconseaword: A few of Simon's experimental music tracks can be found here: www.last.fm/music/Simon+Alexan…

:iconsynthnotic: is the music account of Shorai-san. It features loads of cool piano songs which you can listen to here: synthnotic.deviantart.com/gall…

:iconplutonicfluf: As well as being a great photographer, pluntonicfluf composes some cool instrumental music. There's some really interesting percussion rhythms that can be found on: plutonicfluf.deviantart.com/ar… and plutonicfluf.deviantart.com/ar…

:bulletorange: Thanks for listening! :D

Our Group: A Community of Musicians and Sound Artists</u>

Music Groups. There are probably tons of music groups on dA already, but most are inactive. So, here is another one, however, one which I hope to keep active.

This group's main aim will simply be to promote musicians on DeviantART, allowing them to link their music, random projects and even music-related artwork too (No matter what level of importance). It would be great to feature them, but maybe that's not a good idea. I'm not sure. Please let me know what you think.

Yes, i know...there is also a very nice forum about music, but what's the harm in making an account too? If this gets deleted, it gets deleted. If it fails, it will fail EPIKLY. No big deal.

So, lets see if we can create an active music community alongside dA's already awesome art community. I don't want it to be like myspace; on deviantART, you can recieve constructive feedback on your work, which is hopefully what this group can achieve too. Feel free to link your music or music sites on this page. :D So, get spamming! ;P

Although we will continue to support and promote Music and Sound Art on DeviantART, we are now going to be featuring Lyricists and Music related Photography and Artwork! :D

The reason for this is so our group can integrate with the wider visual and literature art community of DeviantART. It may also provide oppurtunities for Musicians, Lyricists and Visual artists to collaborate on projects.

It might sound obvious, but music isn't just for musicians. Music provides great inspiration for many visual artists and creative writers. With this in mind, our group is altering its format slightly so that we can now include these aspects of music.

And of course, if you wish to join, simply watch our club and your music deviations and projects could be featured in various places around dA, including this very page! allieluvskitties is already featuring musicians from this group on her journal, so please check it out and give your support if you are a fan of all things music related!

Thanks! :D

:new: A huge multimedia collaboration!</u>

:bulletorange: ScorpionHenchman is running a new project which will involve a large collaboration between any audio, visual and literature artists who want to be involved. The end result will most likely be a CD/digital download featuring music, artwork, lyrics, literature from artists right here on deviantART! The theme is "Historical Epics"</i>. For more details on this, please read the full article here: scorpionhenchman.deviantart.co… Any creative work you can add to the project will be welcomed. Note ScorpionHenchman if you would like to be involved, or sumbit art to him. :)

Bringing these different communities together is one of our aims as a group. Hopefully, running projects like this will bring us closer to achieving this, as well as recognition for everyone involved!

DeviantART Mixtape and Mixtape/Album Cover Contest!

:bulletorange: deamonicangel is leading a new project which is currently entitled "DeviantART Musicians Mixtape</i>". He is looking for anyone who wants to sumbit one of their tracks to the project. Your submitted track can be in any musical genre, and to sumbit a track, just note deamonicangel the download link and it will be added. You can read the details here: news.deviantart.com/article/74…

The second part of this project will be a contest to design a cover for the mixtape! If you're interested in sumbitting an entry (there's no limit on No. of entries) then read the full story here: deamonicangel.deviantart.com/j… deamonicangel is also looking for 5 judges to choose the winning design.

This sounds like a great project and I'm very jealous I didn't think of it first lol. If each musician involved promotes the mixtape to their watchers, we could have a lot of people interested in this, which could be great for the music community on dA and great for promoting your own work. :)

News Time!</u>

:bulletorange: A few weeks back, we were talking about ways to further promote original music from our group's artists. One of those ideas was to inquire about creating a dedicated music and sound art channel right here on dA. We were helped significantly in this by InpuUpUaut, however it seems it's not possible to start a music gallery right now; the main issue brought up was about copyright. I was almost certain that we would get this response so it's not particularly an issue right now, although it's not the end just quite yet. We are still keeping in touch with other galleries, who may wish to use music from our watchers (with your permission, of course) and using our resources for the development of other multimedia projects.

For now, our group will be continuing to do what it does best, promoting you! With that being said, we have more features this week. Enjoi! :)

Features!</u>

:iconluk1803: luk1803 has uploaded a lot of music lately, and you can find it all here: luk1803.deviantart.com/gallery… . Most of his songs could be considered Ambient or Techno.

:iconthiagochackal: thiagochackal's "DrawMusic" series is one of the most ambitious music related projects we've seen so far on dA. The ambient compositions work really well with his style of art. I recommend 'DrawMusic Aether'. Here are just a few examples: thiagochackal.deviantart.com/a… thiagochackal.deviantart.com/a… thiagochackal.deviantart.com/a…

:iconintimachine: A really cool guy from a really cool band. Don't believe me? Check out: www.myspace.com/intimachine or his newest solo works: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WLcG9… & www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b88HS… He also has a lot of lyrics featured in his gallery.

:iconaiboobpicsforsale: Do you like your Electronic music with a hint of Experimental? If so, technographer's solo project Sunflower Machine is well worth checking out: www.last.fm/music/Sunflower+Ma… 'Remedies' is my current favourite.


:bulletorange: Well thanks for listening! There is even more music and artwork featured on allieluvskitties account, so you may have been featured there too! Go check it out and tell us what you think of our recent features! :)

:new:Good news everyone!:new: :iconohmyplz:

Hey again!

Ok, so I got a note today from the Gallery Moderator of Film and Animation (InpuUpUaut) and he suggested what I think is a great idea. He said that: "People doing films and animations need music for their movies and I am sure a lot of musicians want to see their work in action. The idea is to invite all the musicians to work together with animators/filmakers to create great movies. Also, to create a good stock of music free for use."

Well, sounds interesting. I'd like to know what other people think of this idea. This could lead to really good collabs between artists, and may even allow the music community to be recognised further on dA on a larger scale.

So yeah, if you could comment and let me know what you think, then that would be great. :)

Oh, and of course, if anyone has any other ideas, or things they would like to see from this group, then please let me know. :)

Features

Ok, I think every week I'll update this to include a few artists who have music on dA, and a few who have music on other sites.

:iconcoldcity: Here is one of the most prolific music composers on dA. CC writes a lot of music that would work perfectly for videogame/film soundtracks. 'Wolf's Secret' is probably my fav, but others can be found here: coldcity.deviantart.com/galler…

:iconraincookie: Rain Cookie is another talented artist who also composes music. Two very awesome solo piano songs can be found here: raincookie.deviantart.com/art/… and here: raincookie.deviantart.com/art/…

:iconj2n4me: Ultramint Records: This link is full of good songs and cool collections. 'Medicine Hat' is a really cool song. Find it here: www.ultramint.thej2.com/

:iconangie2d: Nightmare Arcade: A cartoon duo from the UK who play Pop-Punky music, inspired by Japanese animation. Check 'em out: profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?… or NightmareArcade

Ok, I think every week I'll update this to include a few artists who have music on dA, and a few who have music on other sites.

:iconpsychoticturtle: Has lots of music on dA, including: psychoticturtle.deviantart.com… , psychoticturtle.deviantart.com… and psychoticturtle.deviantart.com… These deviations contain music from all different genres and music styles, in particular videogame music.

:iconflashygoodness: A lot of his music could be described as videogame music. Similar to Masato Nakamura's music for SEGA games. The songs can be found here: flashygoodness.deviantart.com/… and here: flashygoodness.deviantart.com/…

:iconb0soderlund: One Flower Tribe: Some really cool acoustic music from Finland I believe. Has elements of Folk and some non-western styles of music. profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?…

The Rice Mother: Experimental, Ambient music, with a little hint of Jazz. 'Slow Heavy Shoes' is my favourite. profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?…

:iconasharpsilence: Uva: 'Drawbridge' and 'The Young Among Us' are really cool songs. If you like Post-Rock bands such as Saxon Shore, you might like this! profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?…

Yo Jesse: Plays mostly Psychedelic Rock music, with epic choruses and some other ambient sounds. profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?…

Take Your Words: More experimental stuff, a bit like Aphex Twin. Lots of interesting rhythms and samples too. profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?…

----------------------------

I've not heard anything from b0soderlund about his project I mentioned last week (news.deviantart.com/article/69…), so I'm unsure if he is still running it. But, I'd still like to hear if any of our watchers are currently involved in any music projects. If you need people to collaborate with, you might find them in this group! So, feel free to comment and tell us about it! :)
