New Song Contest

Hi,

There is a new song contest at http://www.kara-moon.com/forum

I tought that you guys could be interested, perfect for renoisers B)

The definition of the contest
There is a monthly theme for which you have to compose your song.
The maximum length of the song is 30 sec.
This may seem short, but…
The goal of the contest is to come to the point…
Think like the themes they do for television series. It is amazing how much those composers can do in such a short laps of time.

The quoting system
You specify your points, from 1-5 for the following items

  • Composition
  • Performance
  • Production (mixing)
  • Conformance to the theme
  • Personal appreciation
    The total of the points is the number of points that the song gets
    All voters have to specify their points for each category

Organization and Timeline of the contest

  • The theme is fixed by the moderators of the contest, the first of the month.
  • 3 weeks to contribute and comment on songs
  • Last week is voting week with deadline 2 days before the end of the month.
    The winner is announced, last day of the month

    Rewards

    Top 3 get a prize

@Kara: It might be a good idea to add some more details about the compo to the first post. Might attract more, as in general people are lazy and don’t check out the linked site.

a 30seconds bassfest is really tempting, I will give my best.

@Beatslaughter : thanks for the tip, i’ll edit my first post
@looza : great !

The first submission are allready made :)

A litle update :

To answer the demand of the forum contest participants we decided to start directly with a monthly period for the contest.
The running contest will end on september 23th with the last week of september as voting week.
Winners will be announced on september 30th.
And the second edition of the contest starts on October 1st

k

the idea of 30 seconds limitation fascinates me, since I usually make 7+ minutes long songs, but coupled with theme restriction it is almost impossible for me to deal… too bad… but I will try to make such short song one day…

Have a listen to the submissions here : http://www.kara-moon.com/forum/index.php?topic=918.0

There are allready a couple of renoisers
Yes it is a challenge but it is fun to do
