CPMS CD Compilation Volume 1 & 2

The deadline is now over! Thank you for your submissions.
Here's what to expect next...
The jury committee will be meeting to begin listening to all the music submitted and will draft a final list of all artists and their music based on the judging scores. The highest scores on the list that will make the compilation will be contacted and notified that their music has been accepted to the compilation. If in any case that an artist declines or qualifications are not met, the next artist(s) on the list will be notified.

All artists accepted into the comp will be asked to provide a CD quality version of the track and agree to license their music for the release. Because this project is intended to help promote the chicago music scene and artists, it is understood that this release is not intended for profit. All artists who have been accepted and who have volunteered to perform in the past to help raise funds for the comp will be given limited amounts of the cd compilation and will be based on the total number of units produced. If you are interested in being a part of the selection or production committee, contact Je at je@bagwiscollective.org.

Good Luck and Thanks for all the contributions!

UPDATE: DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JANUARY 19, 2009
In 2008 the Chicago Pinoy Music Scene community set out to do something very ambitious at the time -- Create a CD music compilation and festival funded and produced by themselves.

After a series of fund-raising events, the community raised close to $3,000 for this purpose and is preparing to release not just one, but two CDs as volume 1 & 2 of the first ever Chicago Pinoy Music Scene Compilation.

Now we need you to continue to help build this community by participating in events, attend production meetings and most importantly, submit your music!

Here are the guidelines:

3. There must be at least 1 Filipino in the band and IS a contributing songwriter

4. Bands are to submit 2 of their BEST songs but only 1 will be chosen for the compilation.

5. Maximum of approximately 6 minutes per song.
