Share your original MIDI composition on the Soundtrap online recording studio … and you could win one of the exciting prizes.
Jordan Rudess is the award-winning keyboardist with the acclaimed band Dream Theater. He’s also the Chief Musical Officer at CME, makers of the Xkey ultra-portable USB MIDI keyboard.
Now we’ve teamed with Soundtrap, the browser-based music collaboration service, to spice up the end of 2014. But hurry. On January 15th, 2015, Jordan will be picking the winner from the top entries in the Soundtrap Xkey Original Music Competition.
Here’s how it works.
1. Enter the contest (here’s the link).
2. Record your original song in Soundtrap. The song should include at least one MIDI track recorded using Soundtrap’s synthesizers or samples instruments. The music needs to be your own composition, not a remix or a cover.
3. Get your friends and the music community to vote for your entry on Facebook.
4. On January 15th, 2015, Jordan will pick the winner from the ‘top ten’ leader board.
Jordan will also spend an hour talking to the winner about his/her winning composition, and give friendly advice on music composition and tips on making music into a full time career. See below.
