"50/90" is a challenge that started decades ago on Yahoo! Groups, with the goal of writing 50 songs in 90 days. It starts on July 4th, and goes til October 1st. These days the challenge is hosted on the FAWM website.
I know you're probably thinking "there's no way I can write 50 songs in 90 days!". And yeah, it's not easy, and usually less than 10% of participants make it to 50. I've been doing the challenge since 2016, and in a few years I wrote only 3 songs.
The important thing is that if you write one more song than you'd normally write, you're already a winner! 50/90 is an incredible supportive community, with prompts and challenges for inspiration. It's a great way to get feedback on your songs, and to practice finishing songs!
The website is live, and the challenge starts in a week... who's up for it? ๐
Oh yeah, there's a lot of people doing electronic music and instrumentals only. This guy does some awesome stuff, it's unbelievable.
I started doing only electronic music, but I started participating in games, challenges, and collaborations, and I quickly got out of my comfort zone (specially the random collaborations). One year I decided to add some vocals for a random collaboration, got some good feedback, and eventually I took 2 years of singing lessons! Totally unexpected.
And of course you don't have to do any of that if you don't want, you can just post your songs and listen to songs in genres you like.
