The Mystery Matchup is an online collaboration where an anonymous donor posts a piece of music or set of lyrics, and others are invited to complete the song by adding the missing portion.
This activity is designed to inspire creativity and foster community. As such, the posted content should be respected, but modified as necessary to fit your contribution. After you submit your version of the completed song, the original poster will review all submissions and choose one or more to share for all to hear.
How it works
At the beginning of the event, the poster will be anonymous. All submissions will be forwarded in as anonymous fashion as possible. After the poster chooses a favorite response, the end result will be published along with the identities of all who were involved.
Because the identities are not revealed until after the collaboration process is complete, the contributing authors will not be limited by preconceived notions based upon identity, such as anticipated style or content limitations. It is our hope that people will be pleasantly surprised by the identities of collaborators.
Do you want to collaborate?
In order to keep this going, we need others who wish to post their ideas for collaboration. If you have a set of lyrics or piece of music that is looking for collaborative content, please email us at collaboration@songwritersinseattle.com
