Two creative paths.
One rights-aware process.
Producers begin with original vocals. Vocalists and topliners begin with beats and stems. Both create new work from defined source material through recorded permission.
TWO CREATIVE PATHS
BEGIN WITHTHE SOURCE.
The two contest paths begin with different creative material, but follow the same principle: know the source, record the permission and preserve the relationship to what comes next.

THE MENTORING IDEA
MORE THANA CONTEST.
Source material becomes a starting point for creative exchange.
Selected artists provide material for defined creative use. Participants build new work from those sources while SILVATUNG records the permission and connection between the original material and the resulting derivative.
01
SOURCE
Selected material begins the process.
02
CREATE
Participants develop new work from it.
03
CONNECT
Source and derivative remain related.
SOURCE / ORIGIN / HISTORY
SOURCE MATERIALISN'T JUSTA FILE.
It has an origin.
The contest is designed around that simple principle: creative transformation should not erase the relationship between new work and the material that made it possible.
