"Masters of the Underground"
sponsored by
We've got something special for you guys, something that every recording artist will be interested in! Genelec, creators of critically acclaimed studio monitors have put a set of home studio speakers up for grabs.
The Competition
We’re calling this competition "Masters of the Underground" - the theme being simply... "underground". This is a very loose theme and can apply to the genre or sub genre, the lyrical content, track title or anything else you can connect with “underground”.
MP3unsigned has never been about commercial radio music; the site was originally created to provide an alternative for people who were sick of the over-played commercial mainstream. This competition is about REAL music created by REAL people. It’s about passion, creativity and originality. Wikipedia define Undergound Music as “a range of different musical genres, they can typically share common values, such as the valuing of sincerity and intimacy; an emphasis on freedom of creative expression; an appreciation of artistic creativity”.
This competition is open to ALL genres and styles (rock, metal, pop, rnb, pop, techno, trance, dnb, breakbeat, soundtrack, modern composers etc etc). There is only one exception… no Pop Idol wannabes or Eurovision knock-offs please!
The Prize:
The 6010A is a compact two way active loudspeaker specifically designed for computers and other close proximity music players - these are ideal for home studios and portable setups. Their small size and amazing sound quality make the 6010A an ideal sound system for both professional and home users. Not only are they ideal for home studio setups but they are the perfect choice for professionals working of laptops etc from various locations.
