Coming January 1 - Silent Sci-Fi, Volume III

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mutants, Aliens, and Robots, we interrupt your festive gingerbread and eggnog to bring you these good tidings:

After two successful writing challenges, resulting in two great compilation albums, Silent Sci-Fi is set to return with a vengeance! We know that some of you may have picked up some new music gear on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. We know you might have a few musical items on your Christmas list as well. Here's an opportunity to put them to immediate use!

The writing portion for Silent Sci-Fi, Volume III, will kick off on January 1, 2017 with the announcement of our chosen film. As before, participants will watch the film without sound, and use that to inspire an instrumental track (any length, but 2-5 minutes is typical), which they will record and submit using this Dropbox link. As before, the challenge will take place over the course of a month, with the deadline for submissions being January 31, 2017.

In addition to sending out announcements via this blog and our Facebook page, for Volume III we will also be sending out announcements via email. If you want to receive updates via email, simply fill out this brief Google form. If you want to be removed from the list, simply send an email to silent.scifi@gmail.com with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line.

More news will come in the next few weeks. Stay tuned, and feel free to invite any fellow musicians who may want to participate.
