Runner Up: Ominous Ride
3rd: Edric Haleen
4th: Blimp Exhaust
Congrats to RC, who is now our new #SpinTunes champion! No challenge was too great for you this time around, and now you'll get a fancy free t-shirt as a reward. The more important prize is the music you & the others created, along the admiration & respect you have from us all here.
As the current champion of SpinTunes, you have the option of judging SpinTunes #8. When I start preparing for the next contest, I'll e-mail you to find out if you plan on wielding the gavel or not.
The other finalist should hold their heads high. They faced 4 challenges, conquered them all, and created 4 new songs for the world to enjoy. Well done.

Thank You
Competitors, judges, guest judges, shadowers, fans, Tom for hosting the LP, Matt for the album art, and anyone that had anything to do with this contest. I just happen to be the guy that makes this shit up as I go, but none of it is possible without the participation of all you wonderful people.
Oh, and congrats to the judges who didn't miss a single deadline! Never thought I'd see the day. ;p
The next contest will probably start around January. Make sure you follow @SpinTunes on Twitter for contest updates. Between Song Fight, Nur Ein & various other projects, there should be plenty to keep you busy until SpinTunes #8. If you've completed at least 1 song for SpinTunes, you are also welcome to join the SpinTunes Facebook group. It's a good way to keep in touch, and we post about related news in there as well.
And another successful SpinTunes comes to a close...
ReplyDeleteThanks again to everyone -- to the competitors who fiercely fought through the final round as well as the participants who wrote even one more new song that wouldn't have existed without SpinTunes. Thanks to the judges for weighing and considering and critiquing and praising. Thanks to Matt for his awesome album art each round. Thanks to Tom for hosting the listening parties (and for fixing the bugs!). And thanks to Travis for hosting the whole thing. It runs very well, and Travis should be commended for keeping the parts running so smoothly.
So -- congrats to RC, congrats to all, and see you again in Eight!
:-)

My deepest thanks to all involved in SpinTunes - aside from stretching me in directions I wouldn't normally go, and making me a better writer... it's a whole crapload of fun, too. Let's do it again!
