Hey guys. I just wanted to throw this out there, and see who's interested in, or has time for a music composition competition. Of course, this one would (hopefully) be a lot more organized than the last one, and I'll actually have time to sit down and judge this one, because I don't need to do Wintermester, seeing as I passed all my classes.
GIMME SOME IDEAS.

If your piece runs a little long, that's fine, but please be aware of the fact that we've got to sit through and analyze every bit of your composition.ThemeThe theme is now Mystery!**Decided to change this to a challenge, because coming up with a ranking system for music is really difficult and could prove to be unfair. Each piece will receive individual feedback, but will not be ranked or compared.**********************************EDIT: Here's a list of the entries that have been posted thus far. I am posting ALL of the links that you guys have given us.

Competition or no competition, you're not gonna make everyone happy.
Set a theme, set moving pictures, even set a still picture.Just do something.whoa whoa whoa i leave for one day and you guys are suddenly talking about an album… and YOU AREN'T MENTIONING THE ONLY VOCALIST HERE? how are you gonna hustle w/o singles? c'mon guys, you need this. don't deny yourself a good thing. here's the prize for the competition, winners gets exposure for having the best songs!
this blog is now about creating the greatest 64digits album ever.We try to call out assholes on 64D. So, y'know, fair play to Pounce.
Yeah, well, there are all different KINDS of robots. I dig Charlie's ideas, though.
And hel, I would LOVE to hear how some vocals sound on my tracks. If your down with a colab, so am I.one down, the rest of the site to go!
PM whatever you think would be good with vocals. i'm pretty mid-range. also i can do screamo. :)I just want pounce's okay so I don't dickishly hijack her blog.
You have my ok! As long as you're keeping this thing on some sort of track and have the other participants' vote, you are free to hijack this blog.
Also hel, that collab idea sounds pretty cool. It'd be a nice change to have lyrics, but beware! You're going to have feedback on this thing, and I can't guarantee that it'll be nice.Alright, then pounce.
this is me dealing with novelty:
"odd meters? those are standard for me.standard meters? that's what i do when i'm not using odd meters.polymeters? so done.polyrhythms? doing it in my pants right now.normal harmonies? done.weird harmonies? oh, definitely done.…no …harmonies? …"three hours later:"I'M JUST GONNA RECORD MYSELF TEARING PAPER AND CALL IT A SONG AGHHHH"not saying it's a bad idea, i just have no idea what i'd do personally. XDi went for Mystery cause that's the closest there is to spy themes ^_^
