Music Jams

TL;DR - Let's make a Music Jams feature inspired by the game jam competitions!

The motivation behind this post comes from the awesomeness that is a game dev community. The feedback and the support you're getting when participating in the game jams are some of the most positive things on the internet.

The idea is to create small niche communities that would get around a music genre and in the same fashion as in the game jams - compete, get feedback, and support each other in their music-making journey. I believe that for indie music makers (such as myself) a platform like this would be amazing and inspiring.

Also, I am fully aware that this is a site for games and it may not be the right place to start this kind of a platform. But 1) the tool is here and I wanted to get some attention on how else could it be used, 2) getting the idea out might connect with some people and take some other shape or form, 3) I am a web developer with 8+ years of experience, and with enough interest, I might be the one who can get this thing going.

Anyway, I'm happy to share my idea and looking forward to your thoughts! If this sounds interesting to anyone reading this, feel free to write to me here or on my twitter @disconfucius. Have a nice day y'all!

You can always organize a jam for other types of creative work, anything supported by itch.io (including "miscellaneous").

If it's a music jam you want to join, there's the OST Composing Jam that's featured to start next month: https://itch.io/jam/ost-composing-jam-7

It seems to be an annual thing that runs through every July of the year. Here's a link to the one hosted last year and the one prior.

Good luck! I took a look and there are prizes there! 🤤 Well, the prize itself is a feature on the playlist, but that counts, right?
