CMS Author MikeRivers Posted August 24, 2011 CMS Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Tired of "Can You Sing Like A Fifth Grader"? Maybe this is the music talent show for you. From the seemingly never ending stream of just barely marginally useful press releases that I get via e-mail: AQUA+ Productions Announces Pre-production Of "Sound vs. Sound" A Music Competition Television Series Featuring Producers, Composers, Musicians, And Arrangers August 24, 2012, NEW YORK; TORONTO; LOS ANGELES -- AQUA+ announced today that pre-production has begun on its new creative competition series "Sound vs. Sound." The announcement was made today by Scott Chadwick, Series Creator and Executive Producer for Sound vs. Sound. "With singing competition programming at the top of the ratings," said Chadwick, "it is easy to overlook that the great songs are created by composers, mixed and structured by producers and engineers, and interpreted by arrangers." Sound vs. Sound is a competition series that focuses on testing the musical flexibility and creativity of producers, composers, arrangers, and musicians. Contestants in Season One will be established producers, musicians, or composers, with subsequent seasons opening to emerging talent. Details on casting calls for emerging talent will be available on the AQUA+ website September 1, 2012. [ www.aquaplus.tv ] Each episode of Sound vs. Sound consists of two Challenges - a Wild Card Challenge and an Elimination Challenge. Each Challenge will require contestants to think out of the box, by presenting them with situations that take them outside of their musical comfort zone - from using children's toys to score video game cinematics; to writing for a ukulele and tack piano consort; to recording a mismatched group of award-winning musicians from widely divergent idioms; to the ultimate challenge of pleasing a live audience. Season One Judges are award-winning, certified-Platinum and/or Gold Producers and Composers who have been instrumental in the creation of the contemporary pop music landscape over the past 15-40 years. Season One guest artists, to be formally announced in October 2012, consist of noted performing and recording artists from rock, metal, jazz, electronic, folk, and world music. Music Industry veteran Laura B. Whitmore has joined the production crew as co-writer, co-producer, and industry & artist liaison. Music and audio gear from top manufacturers like Korg, Roland, Waldorf, Muse Research, and many more will be utilized to their fullest throughout the season. Sound vs. Sound films in Toronto, Canada in February 2012, and is scheduled for international broadcast Q2 2012. A Canadian and U.K. SOUND VS. SOUND are currently in development.

Members UstadKhanAli Posted August 24, 2011 Members Share Posted August 24, 2011 Who knows, maybe some will find the whole process of creating a song interesting. But yes, reality TV ran aground quite some time ago...not that I can ever remember it being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beck Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 I miss Gilligan's Island reruns. None of the stations I get run it anymore. TV sucks like never before! I'm really sick of the "Survivor" template and reality TV in general. It Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Extreme Mixing Posted August 25, 2011 Members Share Posted August 25, 2011 Someone should do a comedy about life in the studio. I really can't believe that some of the stuff I saw over the years actually happened. But it did. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
