[Image: attachment.php?aid=215] Hello Online Sequencer! It's time to announce the 2024 April Monthly Contest!

As much as I'd love to say that this month's theme is megalovania given the site-wide comic sans, we've already done that bit. Instead, this month's theme is to make world music!


General Information
The entry period is from 4/1 ~ 4/21 (11:59 PM EST). Winners will be announced on 4/30/2024!

While we will post general notes on every contest, please refer to the Monthly Contest announcement thread for more details on Monthly Contests themselves.
  • Entry limit of 2 sequences per person.
  • Committee members are allowed to enter the contests, but will not enter their example sequence nor will they vote for their own entry.
  • Sequences made prior to the current Monthly Contest are allowed, although entering the same sequence in different Monthly Contests is not. If you are unsure about whether or not you have entered a sequence in a previous monthly contest, a list of all the sequences that have been entered into previous monthly contests can be found here.
  • Making a remix of an existing song is allowed.
  • Editing an entry after the entry period is strictly prohibited and will result in that entry being disqualified.
  • Collaborations on entries are allowed, but any points that the piece might receive are divided up equally between the contributors. You cannot "collaborate" with alt accounts. Abusing alts to circumvent the 2 entries per person rule is not allowed.
  • Entries that are collaborations should not be posted on a shared alt account. They should be posted to the account of one of the collaborators. You cannot enter a sequence on another account's behalf.
  • The standard Online Sequencer Rules will apply and any entries violating a rule will automatically be disqualified.
I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with. Good luck to you all!

nice.... :D
I am the dumb. Is this an actual genre or is this a subjective descriptor?
So I am supposed to combine music genres or what? I'm really confused. Desert music? idk

So world music is when a western song genre (The Americas) gets combined with other music genres ( everywhere except The Americas)
like desert music combined with rock, or another example is rock with pop music.
I interpret "world music" as music from other parts of the world that isn't originating in america
hmmm...


It's like if you took stereotypical Indian music, and combined it with industrial metal! Its Indiandustrial Metal!

What I said is slightly wrong but it is actually considered world fusion which is a sub genre of world music and it still counts as world music.
Pop is western music. (I need to triple check next time.)
