Salutations!

It's been a little while since I made a season themed album so here we go again. I am inviting all of you musicians to join the Collaborative Autumn Album!

What is this?

The Collaborative Autumn Album is exactly what it sounds like. Make a song with a sort of fall theme! The fall "theme" seems to be all over the place with the overall comfortable feeling of the season mixed with all the Halloween stuff so as long as it falls under one of those two categories you should be all set to get as creative as possible.

What's the time span?

From the moment that this post goes up, you are allowed to submit an application. The application process takes about 1-2 days so stay alert! The overall timespan will be from Today (September 27th) to October 29th. Please keep the application process in mind as I most likely won't look over any applications that are submitted after October 20th.

Where do I sign up?

You can sign up right here! Remember that the application process is 1-2 days and applications after October 20th will most likely be Ignored. To be safe, apply within the first week or two of this post going up. ALSO, the application process WILL BE SELECTIVE IN WHO IS PICKED! If you were not selected, just know that it is for no other reason than the quality of your work! I am not shitting on your work, I mean, we've all been through it.

What are the rules???

• Don't be late on your submission!
• Keep it in theme! Originality may be the name of the game, but I don't wanna see some completely unrelated stuff!
• If you make your song with lyrics, just know that there is virtually no censor rule that you have to follow. I really don't care as long as its not just slur after slur.
• Don't post your song until the album is released
• Each person is allowed a maximum of 2 songs

Look at this cool image (graphic design is my passion)

HEY HEY HEY! I'm back on my bullshit with another collab album. If you are unaware, I hosted a collab album not too long ago. This made me think about doing one now.

WHAT IS THIS?

It's exactly what it sounds like. A collab album for Pico day 2023. The whole idea is less about it being a "Newgrounds collab" and more about supporting different kinds of artists and giving people exposure to them. That being said, people can make Newgrounds fan shit if that's what they want. The only thing that I really care about is that it sounds good.

HOW DO I JOIN?

If you are looking to join, all you need to do is click on this link. It'll take you to a google form where you can send in an application to join. Just like last time, if I deem your music to be good enough you will be given access to the server and all that good shit. There isn't a deadline to join but just be aware that YOU are responsible for actually finishing the song you want to make. If you fail to do this there is a chance you won't be allowed to join next year.

WHAT'RE THE RULES?

1. There is a 1:30 minimum for songs.
2. Shitposts are okay as long as they sound good.
3. No covers of songs (lol!)
4. I don't care what you do just don't make it too explicit or whatever (how would you even do that)
5. You have until May 5th to finish your song.
6. You can start as soon as you're given the link to the server.
7. DO NOT POST YOUR SONG UNTIL AFTER THE ALBUM HAS DROPPED.
8. DM me if you have any questions.

This year was huge for me. It helped me rekindle a love of music that was once smushed by family and music instructors. It's funny because my parents used to nag me about practicing piano and shit when I was like,12 and I just remember not liking music after that, but now some of the most supporting people are family and close friends. For a while, I was trying to be an artist but that did NOT work out. Like, at all. So, I tried music after like, 4-5 years. It obviously ended up working out because well, look at me now. I started out by making covers of fucking royalty free music, but I deleted those a long time ago. Anything that I deleted isn't "lost" per se, but it's on my old crusty laptop.

EVENTS THAT I HOSTED

I did host a fair number of events this year (so like, 2)

The Earliest event that I had hosted this year was the NEWGROUNDS CREEPY PASTA COLLAB.

That started because SOMEONE got hacked and deleted the first ngp server so 90% of the jokes don't really hold up honestly. It was fun to work with other people to produce this.... thing, but it was more or less a product of the time (so march.)

The most recent event that I hosted was the MUSIC SECRET SANTA. As I write this post, I'm still banging my head against the wall, trying to come up with something. Everyone who participated as of now did an amazing job and I think you should go check them all out. There are some amazing, underrated musicians in the playlist.

PEOPLE THAT I WORKED WITH AND MET

I have worked with a very long list of people this year. I haven't had a bad experience so far. I want to just talk about the most important friends/collaborators that I met through projects.

I met @MigMoog, @Tiny, and @TappyWara through the first game that we had made together along with some other cool people. You can play that game HERE!!! These three clowns are honestly some of the most important people that I have met. Had I not met them, who fuckin knows where I would've gone.

@SomeApe and @RGPAnims were met through this monstrosity and this. These guys were also some of the most important people that I have met. These two got me on some really cool projects and for that, I'm very fuckin grateful.

And last but not least, @Frosty, @CommanderKuni, @Nohshy, @conundrym, @MrPakoMan, and @crf-sage are some of the funniest mfs I have met so far. These fuckers are always up to something and they're really cool.

OTHER ENDEAVOURS

I put out a CD. Shoutout to @MrPakoMan for making the CD art. You should really consider buying art from him.

I have a spotify. I don't post often but I usually post shit there to use as a sort of portfolio.

Thats kinda it lol. I don't have much else that I can talk about its all secret teehee.

All in all, this year was great for me. I love making shit for all of you sick bastards to hear and I hope that I can do this for much longer.

WHAT IS THIS?

The Newgrounds Music Secret Santa was something that was started by Will in 2009 and he continued to do it until 2013. I decided to pick this back up last year, but it didn't really pan out due to the fact that I had a whole 50 followers. So ever since then, I decided to become more experienced in the field of planning these types of things and overall, just changed things up from what I did last year.

HOW DO I JOIN?

If you are looking to join, then follow this link and fill out the sign-up form. SIGN-UPS GO UNTIL DECEMBER 1ST SO DON'T WAIT! I will evaluate the sign-ups and add your info to a list of people. Who you get will be decided on the info that you put into your form. The sending of examples and such is just so I don't let someone in that'll make something that sounds like this. Also, you will be notified if you are in if I give you an invite to my discord server. Once you are there, you will be given the role to go with it.

WHAT'RE THE RULES?

2. If your other person fails to make your gift, let me know that they never made it.
3. You have until DECEMBER 25TH to make your gift.
4. You can start making your gift as soon as you get your prompt
