Dear EnigmaMusic.com Friends, It has been 20 years since ENIGMA's sensational & groundbreaking debut album MCMXC a.D was released; Until now, we all have enjoyed fans' support, devotion and appreciation from all around the globe.

We must say that we never expected this journey to turn out to be so great. But life proved, yet again, that dreams become reality when you put your heart and mind into something and really "Push the Limits"
Therefore mastermind behind ENIGMA, Michael Cretu would like to thank EVERYONE that ever acquired an ENIGMA album, listened to songs, expressed appreciation of this high quality music or enjoyed this musical experiment in any other way. You are the major success factor behind these 20 years of ENIGMA in the global music arena. We love you for that!


On the eve of this anniversary, Michael Cretu and ENIGMA Management sat down and tried to think of a way to commemorate it in a manner that will involve everyone; You (the fan), Us (the Enigma Team and in particular Michael Cretu) and everyone else that wants to be part of the celebration. So, how can they give back something that allowed Michael making music for such a long time? Well, they think that it's time to let you be part of what made everyone so happy and still does: Creating songs. And this is why Michael wants to create a song with you!

How? This small website ( EnigmaSocialSong.com) is set up that will be the center of the song creation process along with other ENIGMA social networks channels. Michael will take the same approach in the song production that he usually does and you will have a chance to input or voice out your preferences along the way. That's why we call it "Social Song".

The whole process will involve 3 steps:

--->Stage 1: The Vocals ; We are looking for vocal talents in the first step. Everyone that sings and has an original track will have the unique chance to submit a video with his/her voice. Then it is up to you only to decide, which melody possesses the potential to be the lead vocal of Enigma's Social Song. Vote on the submissions and choose your favorite vocal track (not the singer itself) the starting point for everything that follows. Based on your choice Michael is creating three different musical versions around the winner vocal take.

--->Stage 2: The Track ; Again it's your turn: You decide, which version you like the most. The overall voting result identifies the basic demo, but we want your input on the music as well. Let us know, which solo instrument you want us to include in the track. Michael will go creative on your favorite sound and work on the final mix.

--->Stage 3: The Final Mix ; In this last stage it's all about the final mix: Your Vocal. Your Track. Your Mix. We will be releasing ENIGMA's Social Song; that you can download and listen to any time and any place you want. This song will be accompanied by a booklet, where every vocal submitter, voter and co-creator of the song that stated his/her will is listed.

In the meantime and after we have created OUR song, you can always visit our channels at Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or YouTube; place a question, share experience and socialize with fans & friends.

Enigma's "Social Song"



On October 5, 2010 the musical project Enigma will be launching the so-called "Social Song". This online event will be commemorating the 20th anniversary of a worldwide success story that started with the first album release "MCMXC a.D." in 1990. “What if I can give back something to those that enabled this wonderful journey and let them be part of what made me so happy and still does ... creating songs?” mastermind Michael Cretu said.


And that’s how the idea was born: We will create a song together with Enigma's fans, friends and music lovers in general. For this reason we have set up a small website www.enigmasocialsong.com that will be the center of the creation process. For the first time ever Michael Cretu will allow people to look behind the scenes writing and producing along the preferences of the public. They will be engaged in original vocal submissions, series of votings and active participation. That’s why we call it a "Social Song".


At the end of the event Enigma's "Social Song" - OUR song - will be released accompanied by a booklet featuring the participants.

← Welcome to Enigma’s “Social Song”
Michael Cretu about Vocal Tracks
8 October 2010

The last few days we have received your questions about the vocal submissions – the first step in creating Enigma’s “Social Song”. Now, we have tried to answer as much as possible and we already got some great uploads, but we think it might be good to give some more clarification from the mastermind himself. In another video Michael Cretu explains what kind of vocals he is looking for …



If you still have questions, no problem. Comment on this post and we will help you. We are really looking forward to your vocal tracks – Don’t be shy and upload it now!

Hallo zusammen !

Es gibt in Facebook nun ein öffentliches Profil namens "Enigma". Wäre mir nicht so sicher, ob nicht M.C. hinter diesen Namen steckt. Jedenfalls kann man dort alles weitere verfolgen, was den "Social Song" angeht. Und man kann M.C. direkt bei Fragen anschreiben. Hier der Link:

www.facebook.com/enigma

Hmmm, schwer zu sagen. Glaubst du wirklich, dass sich Michael höchstpersönlich darum kümmert? ich weiß es nicht...möglich wäre es ja...

Na ja, die Infos, die in Facebook und Myspace gepostet werden, stammen immer aus erster Hand. Auch arbeitet das Pseudonym Enigma mit einen Programm wo er nur 1x einen Status schreibt und derselbe Text automatisch auch in Myspace und Twitter erscheint. Das ist zeitsparend, wenn man verlinken kann.

Hallo zusammen,

ich nehme ebenfalls teil an Enigma Social Song.
Habe ein Video hochgeladen, was auch bereits freigeschaltet wurde ("Falling from heaven").
Brauche natürlich Eure Votes!!!

Lieben Dank, didi

Hallo zusammen !

Didi, schade, daß du ein bisschen spät dran warst, weil zum Zeitpunkt deiner Einsendung nur noch ein paar Tage bis Ende des Votens war. Dennoch hab ich für dich gevotet u. sicher auch andere.

M.C. sendet von Zeit zu Zeit Video Botschaften ins Netz. Im ersten Link stellte er seine 3 Favoriten vor. Im zweiten Link dann den bzw die Gewinnerin. Ich hoffe, beide Links funktionieren.
