Music Compo!

Posted by pounce4evur on Jan. 22, 2012, 9:08 p.m.

Sorry guys, there were more for a competition than there were for a collaboration, and it seems to be the easiest thing to do. I just thought I'd throw out some ground rules and see what you all think. Again, I don't think I'll be hosting this, so anyone serious about hosting/judging/participating in any way, SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEAS.

So, the rules would be:

1. You cannot use tracks from previous works. They may be used as inspiration, but it cannot be the same song. (Meaning don't change a note in each song and submit that for the contest)

2. As you enter yourself as a participant, make sure to let us know what your preferred genre will be. You can change this at any time until you are 2 weeks into the competition (This will be a 3-week long compo, because I know a new semester just started).

3. The song can be any file type, as long as judges can listen to it and you can prove that all of the songs are yours (or even that it is your remix on a song). It is going to be this way because you can't put mp3 files into this site's file manager.

(any better ideas on this one are welcome. if everyone has access to a certain site, then that will be where the songs will be submitted)

3. You can use any and all music that you make in this competition for your V4D entry as well. (Cyrus says so.)

The theme is: ADVENTURE!

Is there a time suggestion? Mine's at about 7 minutes and I think I could write quite a bit more.

Also, shouldn't this blog be pinned like the V4D one?

Quietus 12 years, 11 months ago

mine's five minutes… which i thought was pushing it. o_o but w/e, if it has enough changes.

and yes, it should.

JuurianChi 12 years, 11 months ago

The Theme was "Adventure" so I setup a 23 minute score and now I have to shave it down .

Jesus guys, we're a video game site. i was thinking this was just for a setting in an adventure-style video game, and vg songs are usually pretty short and loopable. regardless, i doubt anyone will make it past minute 7 of anyone else's song.

you really only need 3-5 minutes depending on how many actual hooks you have. >_<

I kind of expected Steven's to be on the longer side, but

heh i havent worked on my entry since day one. I'll have to have it done by.. thursday? mmm ok.

Kamira 12 years, 11 months ago

If it's supposed to be a song for a game, you'll have to count me out.

Quietus 12 years, 11 months ago

no it doesn't have to be specifically, the theme was just "adventure" which is pretty broad.

leemcd56 12 years, 11 months ago

If I would have seen this I would have entered.
