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. If you want to scrap a piece, update/edit it, or don't want it to be critiqued, let me know.mr8bit–Who Did Iddit?Charlie Carlo–Infrasound–Dead FrequencyJuju–Music for the Tip of your Tongue–Music for Fossils–Music for a Crime of Passion–Music for an Abduction–You were with me all along, weren't you.JuurianChi–Mystery Music Challenge 2–Mystery Music Challenge 3Taizen Chisou–Mysterious Mysteries of Mystery–Another!Iasper–WIP Mystery–Steven's Going to Kill MeMega–Tower of IllusionThe Avatrol–MZX-Troventh Angle Stop 64Chel–LuxuryNehemek–9 Seconds of InspirationKamira–sirxemic–http://sirxemic.com/stuff/wtaam.mp3
6 days? Crap I need to practice and record mine…
Edit: I might have to submit this late… I finished the score today but my pianist friend is going home for the weekend so yeah.Alright! I've made a list of all the tracks that have been submitted so far. I am (and as far as I know, Steven's on board with this?) willing to listen to and critique more than one track from each participant. If you'd like to have a track removed, or make last-minute changes and would like to resubmit your entry, let me know!
Ok, not all of them. I didn't include sirxemic's 18 second track because it's called "Preview," and I'm not sure that we'd have much to say about it if it were entered. Here it is. Mystery PreviewI also didn't include two tracks by Juju because they don't fit the theme. I'm not sure what to do with them. Here ya go. Music for Forgetting Music for RobotsWhut? I didn't submit those two to this blog, did I? If so, sorry, I didn't mean to.
Here's my entry for the challenge:
https://soundcloud.com/theavatrol/sets/mzx-troventh-angle-stomp-65cOops! Didn't mean for Chapter Objectives to be an official entry. I made that track before this challenge even started! Don't get me wrong: I would LOVE feedback on it. But my Official Mystery Challenge Track is this one:
Who Did Iddit?It's a little stripped down compared to our usual, layered sound. But hey.AGH NO MORE MIXING JUST TAKE IT
"Luxury"my first attempt at a debonair spy theme. i was initially singing but then i dropped the spoken word sample in at the end, and was just like … *goes back and deletes all takes of my vocals*i had the words typed out but then my computer crashed. oh well. in any case, we decided SONGS with spoken word samples are still SONGS, so i demand a retroactive apology from Steven for all the times i had to call my potential SONGS "pieces".trollface.jpgAlright, all fixed. One more day, guys!
mk i know we agreed to make this a challenge so there are no losers and all, but i think you guys should still pick favorites or something so we know who all matched the theme well. and for jelly points.
"jelly? u jelly? U VERY JELLY?"yes, i think jelly points would be the most appropriate way to score this.Manmoths wasn't intended to be for this jam. I just linked it so I could get feedback on it. I'm pretty sure it was made before the allotted time anyway.
Here, have another.
It's still pretty awful.
