Pulse - Local artist finds fame through new social networking game

Written by Adam T. Rossi
http://www.saratogatodayonline.com



This article comes from Saratoga TODAY, the community’s comprehensive, dynamic weekly newspaper.

Over the course of the last decade, the record industry has all but collapsed due to its failure to capitalize on the most recent trends in technology.

Nonetheless, there is a new website that looks to take advantage of today’s technologies and revolutionize the failing industry through the creation of an exciting new social network titled “Stereofame.”

The website combines popular social networks like MySpace with the auction functions of eBay to create a game where both listeners and artists compete for points they can cash in to receive prizes.

One area artist who is already taking advantage of the online phenomenon is Justin West. West, who records under the pseudonym Obi das, found out about the website through an obscure link he happened to come across while searching the web. The more he learned about the company and started listening to other people’s music, he admits he found the game to be a great idea.

Stereofame Announces Artist of the Month Contest

The Stereofame Artist of the Month Contest is the hottest tool for independent musical talent to get exposure. Get real, written reviews of your material and enter for a chance to win $1000 cash every month!

Artist Prize: $1000.00 cash! Winning artist from also qualifies for the Stereofame Artist of the Year contest with a prize package of $5000.00.

Listener Prize: 10,000 Points! With each vote, listeners earn a chance to earn 10,000 points. The more votes you submit, the more chances you have to win!

$1000 CASH AWARDED EVERY MONTH

In additional to $1000 cash, Stereofame offers the unique opportunity to get objective, written music reviews by serious fans of music. All artists that enter Round 1 of the contest are judged by Stereofame members that are presented with a music review form to complete. Following the model that expert reviewers use everyday in the industry, members will be required to listen to an entire track before submitting a critique and will grade the song on a predetermined set of attributes. Each review will display a score once it has been submitted based on the marks given for each attribute. The top 10 scoring artists will be forwarded to our expert Judges Panel where the winner will be selected.

Contest finalists will be reviewed by an impressive group of judges from a variety of backgrounds in the music industry. Judges will critique the finalists using the same review process used in Round 1 and the artist with the highest score wins.

The Stereofame Artist of the Month contest submissions are judged on the basis of:

Music
Creativity
Originality
Melody
Lyrics
Musicianship
Arrangement
Production
Marketability
Lead Vocal

In addition to the cash prize, winners will benefit from promotional campaigns that will give international exposure and attention to the winning artist.

The winning artist from each month will also qualify for the Stereofame Artist of the Year contest with a prize package of $5000 and exposure to a larger judges panel.

How to enter:

Beginning July 21, Artists will be able to enter up to 3 songs to the contest. Go to the Upload section of your profile page and click the "edit" link next to the songs you would like to submit to this contest. Artists are encouraged to enter 3 songs to maximize the total number of points attainable. All musical genres are welcome to enter!

FAQ: What is Label Rank?

Label rank is the sequential order in which you signed a particular artist. For example, on your profile page, if you see "Label Rank #1" next to a particular artist, then you were the 1st label to sign that artist.

We just added this as a feature on the site. Post a comment and let us know what you think!!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the following 15 artists who accumulated the most positive votes during the Listener voting period for the "Like Dandelion" Movie Soundtrack contest. All Stereofame songs by each artist will be forwarded to the film's production company for consideration and a final winner will be chosen for inclusion in the film.

Although the contest was designed specifically for artists in the USA, Stereofame members overwhelmingly voted for additional artists from around the world who placed in the top 10. Additionally, Stereofame is quickly becoming a world music destination vs. a USA exclusive destination with over 50 artists from non-US countries. Therefore, we will also include these artists, as well as the top 10 US artists, to the production company.

Thank you to all the artists for who participated in the contest and best of luck to the finalists!

Prizes:

Artists: 1 high-ranking song from the Like Dandelion Dust Contest on Stereofame will be included in the Film.

The winning artist/band will also win round-trip airfare and hotel accommodations to attend the premier of the Film in Los Angeles, California.

Listeners: Cast your vote for the songs you want in the major motion film "Like Dandelion Dust" soundtrack. With each vote, you earn a chance to win round trip airfare and accommodations to the film's premier in Los Angeles.

Stereofame Release Notes - v0.3

Stereofame is the Social Music Game where artists and fans gain points playing the game and cash them in on great rewards.

These Release Notes cover what's new, login instructions, game rules, known issues and frequently asked questions about Stereofame.

Give us your feedback through this feedback form.

What's New in Stereofame v0.3

Release Date:
May 16, 2008

Listener Login Update:
User login usernames will change for all members that signed up as Listeners on Stereofame before 5/17/08. Login usernames for this member type have been migrated to the label name.

So, if previously, your Listener username was "Jonny-B-Listener" and your Label was "Jonny-B-Label", your new login username is "Jonny-B-Label".

Passwords are unchanged.
Usernames are always lowercase.

Scoring:
A dynamic scorecard is now keeping track of your points and rewarding you on the spot for gaming actions. The Rules of the Game have changed dramatically that allow new ways to gain points, so be sure to read them. What's cool is that certain actions count for points immediately while other actions pay off for you over and over again... like a good investment. Bookmark this page: All the ways to rack up points.

Rules:
Game rules have been rewritten to answer a lot of questions. To get the most out of Stereofame, read them. You'll thank us later.

Labels and Listeners Become One:
To improve the game, we have combined the Listener and Label profiles into one member. Current members that had Listener and Label profiles will now have just one Label page to manage. New members to Stereofame will enter the game at a Listener level and can upgrade to a Label after they have earned 250 points.

Drop an artist from your Label:
Labels can now remove an artist from their label to open up slots for newly discovered talent. Removing an artist from a label will cost to 200 points (the earlier the artist was signed by the label, relative to other labels, the more points it takes to remove an artist).

Bands can play too:
Artists can now play the game and earn more points just for working their profile and playing the game. If you're an artist on Stereofame, definitely check out the Rules... you'll be impressed.

Some of the new ways for artists to gain points: Listen and vote on music, update your Billboard, add tags to the site, upload a new song.

Stereofame Auction House:
Artists and Listeners may bid on rewards at the Auction House with their points. There are a fixed number of rewards that are available to the highest bidder. There may or may not be a minimum bid required. Like eBay, the auction ends at the time designated for the item being bid upon.

Points and Rewards History:
You can view your total points earned, point balance, rewards redeemed, and how and when you obtained these points and rewards by going to the Points tab on your profile page.

Contests:
In addition to the ongoing Stereofame game, artists and listeners may participate in various contests. While the game in continuous, a contest is for a fixed period of time and usually 30 – 90 days in length. Check out our current Stereofame Contests!

Terms:
Terms and Conditions for Stereofame.com have been updated.
