Contest Brief
I need a name for my solo electronic music project (i.e. the artist name).
Practical stuff:
- Should be fairly short - ideally two words, max 4 syllables
- It should be easy to communicate and for people to understand and search for
- There shouldn’t be an existing thing called that already, especially a band (check Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Spotify at least)
- It shouldn’t have any negative connotations
The vibe:
- It should sound good / have a good ring to it
- It should be roughly midway on the serious to wacky scale
- It should suit the music - mostly upbeat with a dark twist (see below for a link to hear the music)
- It should be a bit abstract and devoid of too much existing meaning - an empty vessel
- It should be memorable
- It should give a good impression of the music even if you haven’t heard it
- It should be colourful
- UPDATE: There shouldn't be any obvious music references - words like 'Melody', 'Tunes' etc
Good examples of existing artists:
Floating Points
Flying Lotus
Pink Floyd
Beach House
Arcade Fire
Daft Punk
Tame Impala
Fleet Foxes
Kiasmos
Little Dragon
Rival Consoles
My music is here: www.soundcloud.com/tomcampey
The first 5 tracks will give you a good idea of the sound.
