Fun idea. I'm down to submit as long as it doesn't land on Spotify... I boycott them smile Super down with BandCamp though.

Also, The Library Of MusicLandria would be a good fit for the charity since it focuses on supporting musicians.

My track for this week is a live performance using a simple synth and an effects processor with no edits.  I really enjoy working within constraints.

Nice. I'm also going for a no edits constraint this year smile

Instrument limits. eg (use only 2 instruments)
Fixed chord progression. eg. use iii ii V I i
Fixed scale eg. use harmonic minor
Fixed time signature eg. use 6/8 time
Fixed tempo
iron chef style ingredient of the week: eg. must use maracas or trombone

lots of possibilities, could add lots to a spreadsheet and randomly pick one each week

obviously if you don't like it, you don't have to use it, but could be a good starting point if you're stuck for ideas

Those are great! I imagine as more people post to this thread, we'll end up with a ton of inspiring constraint ideas. Will be fun to reference it as the weeks move forward.

* 2 to 3 minutes range (maybe I'll go longer sometimes).

Rad. Looking forward to hearing your tracks.

Curious about what concepts / creative constraints other people might be considering for this years WB?

Here are some I'm thinking about. You?

1. 3 minutes max
2. Improv only
3. 3 beats per week -> 1 album per month
4. Just drums
5. Prioritize texture

Did anyone take their ideas from 2020 and improve them in 2021? I wanted to, but totally didn't. If you did, comment with links.
