The new musical reality show “Sound vs. Sound” has announced an international electronic casting call for producer/musicians who would like to participate in the show as contestants.

The deadline to apply is December 1st.

Produced by sports and lifestyle channel Aqua+, “Sound vs. Sound” is a reality competition TV series that follows musicians, composers, arrangers and producers as they face musical challenges across different genres.

The objective of the TV series is to incorporate meaningful dialogue between established and emerging musicians.

The show will be filmed February 5-18, 2012 in Toronto, Canada. The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2011.

The Format

Much like other reality challenge series like “Project Runway” or “Iron Chef”, each episode of “Sound vs. Sound” will feature musical challenges designed to push the cast members/contestants outside of their comfort zone.

In addition the show features legendary musical guests on every episode who will serve as mentors to the contestants, and a panel of celebrity judges. The judges also serve as mentors for the cast members/contestants, and provide each contestant with a 20-minute consultation during the time in which they are addressing the challenge.

At the completion of each challenge, the judge panel decides who wins that week’s challenge after performances in the last act of each episode.

In several cases Gold and Platinum artists will be playing alongside of the contestants as they present their projects. Winning tracks from each episode will be sold with the proceeds going to select charities.

Who Should Apply

Applicants must be able to think on their feet and be well-versed musicians who can perform, arrange, produce, and rapidly interpret music from different genres into something compelling and original.

The winner of the “Sound vs. Sound” competition will receive a one-album contract with SvS Records and $25,000 in cash.

Submission requirements:

Submissions must be in digital format, preferably uploaded on YouTube, with links sent to info@aquaplus.tv. Applicants should include:

• Short background information and accomplishments (up to 250 words)
• Photograph
• A link to a sample of production, composition, performance, or remixing.
• A link to a YouTube video of applicant speaking on camera.

All genres are welcome. All types of instrumentalists and singers will be considered, and contestants may reside in any country. The deadline for digital submissions is December 1, 2011.
