Producers of Steemit the #beatbattle is back for Season Two.
Over 29+ producers were apart of the incredible Season One of the Beat Battle League and it created such a memorable experience for everyone involved. What an incredible community that is building and helping each other.
The Beat Battle League is a Beat Battle challenge every 10 days that the music producers of Steemit can produce an entry based off a theme or sampled material for that round.
Remember the winner of the Beat Battle League will receive a Championship Belt so they can proudly showcase their championship.
@seveaux is coming for the championship again in Season Two. Looking forward to an epic season.
The judging panel of: @chiefmappster, @danyelk, @beatseb, and @derekmiller are looking forward to your art this Round #1 of Season Two of the #beatbattle.
Thank you again for all the time, effort, and resources you put into creating your art.
Here is a playlist of the Best of the Beat Battle Season One for your listening pleasure:
Without further adieu the theme of Round #1 of Season Two is:
Theme Songs
We all have those theme songs that when we listen to trigger such emotion.
Whether they be from our favorite movie or TV shows those theme songs stay imprinted in our minds and trigger those memories.
Let's harness this energy to create some epic beats created from theme songs.
Use your favorite theme songs as a foundation for a beat or if you are feeling really creative you can create your own theme song (like how @beatseb created his own comic book character for the Comic Book theme from last season).
Here is some theme songs for inspiration:
Remember the entries for the Beat Battle League are judged on:
Sound Quality: does the beat sound crispy, in speakers and headphones, is there cracking or recording errors? How loud can we play it before you notice quality issues? etc
Technicality: what are the skills you displayed in making this beat? The technical aspects of the your craft. The layers and sounds do they match? How many? etc
Creativity: how unique your entry is. How well it revolves around the universal theme? Holy smokes we have never heard that sound before? A creative video and/or artwork o yeahhhhh.
Also, sharing the story about the creation of your art in your Steemit post helps the judging panel and community gain perspective and knowledge on yourself and the message you are sharing.
