TRACKERCORPS is a multi-artist music compilation that aims to celebrate the foundation of computer-made and homebrew electronic music: trackers!
The first edition was released in July 2023, with 15 tracks made exclusively in trackers and infused with breakbeats:
In Vol. 2 we’ll be celebrating the good ol’ 303 sounds - whether they’re made in an actual Roland TB-303 or not. So crank the resonance up in your LPFs and Go Acid, nerds!
Read all the rules HERE before submitting your stuff. It only takes 5-10 minutes.
Schedule:
Deadline: 1/January/2024
Results: TBD (depends on the number of submissions)
Release: 3/March/2024 (aka ‘303 Day’)
By the way, I highly recommend anyone interested in this to also join our Discord server. We have some resources on tracker music (specially Renoise) and love discussing different tips and tricks.
Yeah, I’m joining. Ordered myself a TD-3-MO a couple of days ago, before this announcement. So I’m gonna break it in with this compilation. Quite possibly in collaboration with Mirtazapine Dream.
Very cool! Hopefully I can get something together for this. The deadline is a generous amount of time away so it’ll just be up to my own motivation, haha!
There’s an option in the submission form to declare what tracker you used. We’ll contact the selected artists if necessary to clear up things.
In Volume 1 we asked everyone to record screen captures, but it’s mostly based on trust haha. The idea was to make a video for the release, using all the screencaps, but it wasn’t possible due to the lack of time and helping (editing) hands.
Some people are very transparent about using trackers, so it’s easy to tell. Some people, on the other hand, are very ‘reserved’ (side note: don’t mind me talking about trackers like they were drugs).
We would be happy to see you again in Volume 2! Lesgo!
I’m having trouble sending a track through the google forms, it keeps hanging during upload, is your drive full? I’ll try a few times more and if all fails will try the email adress and send a link.
The drive has about 15gb free space. Are you using AdBlock or cookie manager/tracking blocker? Google behaves in a weird way when these are enabled. I suggest using a private tab (no extensions enabled) in Edge (if on Windows).
