Music Talents 2018

Introduction
Music Talents 2018 is a talent competition for artists, musicians and composers. It will be held in Zweidorff Studio in Bergen in the period April-June 2018. The prize is the release of a song in digital channels, produced for the winner (s) of the competition.

Everyone who participates is given footage of their audition, which they are free to use as they wish. During the audition, there will be some limited time to work on the performance and edit and mix the recording. However, there will be some opportunities to make the jump-in after performing and there will be a simple edit and mix on the recording. It also means that the talents get more than a chance if mistakes were made, forget about the text or the like.

The competition has three categories, and the jury is free to select one or more winners who will be allowed to contribute to the song. The categories are:

• Artist
• Musician
• Composer/Text

Examples of what can be done at audition in the various categories:

Artist

Accompanies himself or has brought a musician
Has produced song / beats, and presents this - with or without a brought vocalist

Musician
Brought instrument. Can also use an accompanying person who accompanies
Examples: Piano / keyboards, guitar, violin, cello, trumpet, harp

Composer / Lyrics

Implementation
Each participant is set aside up to one hour for their audition, which includes time spent on mixing and editing. In practice, this means a little less than half an hour of recording and the remaining time for editing and mixing.

Registration deadline is 31 May 2018. After the registration deadline has expired, everyone will have been booked an hour in the studio. You will also be ongoing booking for those who want to have their audition early in the period the competition is ongoing.
