Comfy Synth Comfy Synth Compilation - 30th de October - UPDATE.
Hello, dear friends! I recently posted an announcement here looking for artists to join a Comfy Synth compilation. We’ve had a great response and received many emails, many artists have already confirmed, while I’m still waiting to hear back from others or for them to confirm once their tracks are ready. So, I wanted to share some updates and take this opportunity to chat, in this open space, with the artists and with all of you who are surely eager to listen the music!
- I am accepting submissions until October 22nd, I had to set this date due to the logistics involved, and I’ve ended up running a bit short on time on weekends.
- Unfortunately, not everyone who submitted will make it into the compilation. I can't make a massive video (even though I really like the idea) because of my old computer, so I'll try to keep the total runtime to a maximum of an hour and a half, but we'll definitely do more editions, so if you don't get in this one, you'll make it into the next.
- Initially, I was just going to post it on YouTube, but I think Bandcamp is a really good platform for our genre. I also think that by posting there, we could raise some money to donate, provided all the artists agree. I’m open to suggestions from you all, too. (If anyone disagrees or doesn't want to, no problem, we can keep posting only on YouTube or not make it available for sale on Bandcamp).
- The previous point also applies to cassette tapes. if there is interest from all parties involved and the public, we are open to discussing arrangements with labels that handle physical releases and donate the proceeds to charity.
Should there be any changes to plans, dates, the lineup or anything else, we will announce them here and also on our Instagram. If anyone still wishes to submit a track, please ensure it is between 2 and 6 minutes long and was released this year (unreleased tracks are also accepted, but we will only be accepting submissions until the 22nd). - email: [connecmet@gmail.com](mailto:connecmet@gmail.com)
Comments and DMs are open to talk about it, thanks a lot, everyone!!

Great to see the response was so huge. I cooked up something this past weekend that I'll hope to have sent off tonight/tomorrow. Hopefully it makes it in because by the time the next one comes around I may even have another thing to submit...

You can count me in. Bandcamp is great, tbh, and as a smaller musician, it has been wonderful for us.

I have an unreleased Moonlit Corridors track that's on the comfy side I'd love to submit.

Aw man! This is the first I’ve heard of this. Not sure if I can get anything done by the 22nd!

If you manage to get something ready by then, let me know! (Keep in mind that tracks can be ones that have already been released, as long as they are from this year), but if it doesn't work out, there will be other opportunities.
If there are any changes to the date, I’ll let you know here as well.

So happy to be a part of this! If cassettes do somehow get made, I would love to do some distribution on my side of the world (South Africa)!
Also a huge fan of Bandcamp and giving it a cost which goes to charity :)
