NG Mall Music Collab

What is NG Mall Music Collab?

I thought it would be a fun idea to make a soundtrack for a fake Newgrounds mall, that's about it. You could say just an elevator/lounge music collab but its more fun to have a concise idea with it. Elevator music (or the easier term Muzak) can mean a wide range of things. There's the 60s Bossa Nova style, the 80s workout vibes, the 90s late night sound with glassy EPs.

Think about what "mall music" means to you, and make it into a song. Sometimes muzak is just an instrumental cover of an existing song, and I say that could work here too. If you want to try to make a Bossa Nova version of the Tankmen theme song that would be cool.

Here is a YouTube playlist I made of some good examples or references (some are just songs not made for muzak in mind but you get the idea).

How do I join/submit?

I'll try to make it as easy as possible, so if you wanna join all you gotta do is DM me your track via Dropbox, WeTransfer or Google Drive, You don't need to join a server specifically for this project. Once the collab is finished and released you can just post it whenever you want, I'll be combining them all into one long track with some background stuff for added ambience.

If you want to collaborate with others or need help with something I recommend joining the

NGAP Collab Center Discord Server: (Link)

REQUIREMENTS:

• To reiterate, think about what "Mall Music/Elevator Music/Muzak" means to you, and make it a song.
• Your track must be no longer than 3 minutes and 30 seconds. In general Muzak is typically pretty short, probably 2:30 to 3 minutes. it focuses on catchiness and trying blend into the noise if that makes sense.
• Track must be a 16-bit WAV File format. I know Newgrounds only allows MP3s so it sounds pointless, but its for mixing sake.
• After the collab is released and you want to post your single to NG, tag with "NG-Mall-Collab". It's so I can add it to a playlist.
• Nothing A-rated. I don't know how you'd do that but thought I'd just state it now.
• That's it.

Does it have to be a song?

Well, no, it can be whatever. If you want to make a art piece or something of a Newgrounds Mall, go for it. Just tag it with "NG-Mall-Collab" and Ill add it to the playlist. Just post after the finished collab is out.

Deadline is FEBRUARY 15TH.

If I missed anything or you got questions feel free to ask away, I work a lot but I'll eventually get to answering them.

Sounds like a neat idea to begin improving in music (i'll probably make some art too)

[Charlmot]

Super excited to give this a shot, sounds like so much fun

Thought I'd specify this, when I mean instrumental of existing song, I feel for this collab don't just cover any song, cover Newgrounds famous tracks. Like chicken dance or anything related to NG.

It's really lovely that you're making a collab of your own. I'm not much of a musician, but i would like to say good luck with the collab.

[Aalasteir]

Thank you, I will make a mall song for your collab.

[AlexToolStudio]

Anyone need a VA for their project

[eth-letter]

i might make a song for this

[Lolofyr]

Ngl I think it’d be really cool to bring some artists into this, if you did applications or smth you could have each artist draw like a store in or section in the mall or something like that. I’m a big mallcore fan so I definitely want to contribute if I can

[12DAMDO]

wow i really need to learn how to read because i uploaded the mp3 to the audio portal

idk if you can still use this or if vaporwave is even what you're looking for but either way, here's what i made lol

[happaxgamma]

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes vibes.
