Another Music Challenge

Posted by pounce4evur on Dec. 27, 2012, 4:38 a.m.

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.

(don't anger the gods–these are PIECES.)

Deadlines

-January 5th (Start Date)

-January 22nd (Deadline)

Time Cap

Don't intentionally try to kill us with a 20-minute piece. 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.

Theme

The 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. If you want to scrap a piece, update/edit it, or don't want it to be critiqued, let me know.

I might as well. Could give me an excuse to compose something on guitar that isn't power chord progressions.

JuurianChi 12 years ago

I'm work shopping some new techniques for this.

Can't wait.

Kamira 12 years ago

Maybe some day we can do a real instruments only challenge, that'd be neat.

that'd leave it down to like me, Charlie, Kamira playing euphonium, and.. i don't wanna imagine what else

Don't forget me on guitar / bass! Say, I also have a broken accordion that could come in handy too. Damn, the next challenge should be real instrument based.

And me, if I do make something for this competition/challenge it'll probably consist of my playing my electric guitar unplugged while mumbling some incomprehensible lyrics. I might try to plug it into the amplifier and see if I can work out some other instruments digitally, but I have no experience with computer generated music so that probably won't happen.

I'm in. :)

We should name our band Mega and the Riders of Brohan.

I laughed. Two minutes at least. +1.

I'm going to be missing two days of this, since I'm going on a trip to the City tomorrow. Getting some extra guitar strings, a new plectrum, and maybe a new guitar strap. No, I'm not using my guitar for this. See you all on the 7th.
