hello there, amazing Fedivision team.
Couple of questions:
1. My entry is being done on a comparatively quite limited platform/instrument. Therefore I'd like to create a video about it and release it after May 12th (application deadline) on my peertube and put a link to it into the description.
1.1. Is this within the rules (it may clash with the "unreleased" rule).
1.2. when I say "under my peertube account": That would reveal who I am. Better create another account just for this occasion? No problem, just wanna know
2. If I would take part in multiple projects, maybe as "bass player" here maybe as singer there... whatever... so not completely invisible (but those wouldn't be "my" projects):
Can I still submit my own entry? Or would that be against the rules?

@herr_irrtum Good questions, we’ll need to convene the organizers and come to a decision. Stay tuned.
@announce @herr_irrtum All three of us have discussed and we feel:
1.1: We would like you to hold off until the playlist is published on 19 May. After that you can hype your entry as much as you like. The reasoning is that we want all entries to have the same amount of time in our listeners’ ears. (The week from 12 to 19 May is for us organizers to download, transcode, upload, etc. and it will definitely take a week if last year was any guide.)
@herr_irrtum 1.2: Not required! Indeed, we will be linking your song to your Fedi account all over the place; part of the mission of Fedivision is to showcase the musicians in our network.
@herr_irrtum 2: If you’re a session musician on other people’s entries, that’s fine and it doesn’t preclude your own entry. (Example: “Money for Nothing” is a Dire Straits song, even though you can hear Sting’s voice.) In other words: there’s a line, but it’s not where you are, it’s more at collaborations and bands.
Looking forward to hearing your comeback entry after the joy of your Fedivision creation last year!
