Urgent!  We've made a change that requires you to update your project details.  We need you to tag your Kompoz projects.  Make sure your projects get heard, and that others can find your projects when using the Kompoz search feature. 

Music is hard to categorize.  We typically use genre to describe a song as having musical sounds which belong to a particular category and type of music.  For example, Rock and Roll is a genre which describes a form of music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s, with roots mainly in rhythm and blues, country, folk, gospel, and jazz.  But genre alone is typically not enough to describe a song with any real clarity.  It's too broad.  Rock and Roll songs can be sad, or they can be inspirational.  They can be laid-back or they can be aggressive.  They can be fast, slow, or varied. And so on.

Up until yesterday, genre was the only tool available to categorize music projects on Kompoz.  We have since added Style, Mood, and Tempo as additional dimensions, and we've also made it possible to select more than one genre per project.  The short video below illustrates the changes we rolled out last night.  Please watch the video, then continue reading below for an explanation as to why this is all very important.

 Tagging your projects is a little extra management work, but it will pay off.  Most obviously, it helps other members find music projects to which they want to contribute.  But what's not so obvious is that it also helps get your music heard outside of the Kompoz site.  Music directors, film producers, Podcast hosts, and radio DJs looking for content for programming will now be able to search for specific songs that fit their format.  More details and exciting news about this coming soon.  Tag away!
