The official timeline of the contest is 11th January - 29th February. This is well enough time for every team to settle and run ideas with eachother. Here are the final guidelines;

1. The final product must be a piece which both composers have contributed a reasonable amount of time and effort into. (Sorry for ending that sentence with a preposition)

2a. The final product is free to be submitted in any format, although it is highly recomended that it is at least in either .mid or mp3. This is because the jury needs an easy way to listen to your composition.

2b. Scores and/or work product is allowed to 'enhance' the listener's experience. Recomended formats are .pdf, .jpg, .mus, .sib.

2c. If you have multiple files to be submitted (Ex; Music file, sheets, description/disclaimer) they should be either zipped (.zip) or rared (.rar) to make things easier.

3a. When the product is finished, it is to be submitted to THIS thread with to following information along with the attachment: (Team name) Partners' names, composition title.

3b. The absolute deadline of this competition is February 29th.

4. The voting will be decided upon later.

So... if anyone posts a composition, it technically would be the winner?

Quick question
When you say it's due Feb 29th do you mean BY Feb 29th or at the End of Feb 29th...[For ex. When you check on Feb 29th does it have to be in or can we keep working on Feb 29th and turn it in sometime later that day.] Also what time zone? -.-

Hmmm, Noir7 have been dead from Feb 14. He should revive before the 29 or the 29.

I'm going to take it as before the end of the 29th, since the original post doesn't say something like due at 12:01 am, February 29th. Though, it might have been helpful if he had posted a Time and Date (http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcount.html) countdown timer to avoid time-zone confusions and whatnot.

I think as long as we post it before he gets back we're fine -.-

Tianlong and PorscheGTIII (AKA The Winning Team) present...

雪の涙 - Yuki no Namida
"Tears of Snow"

A poem to go along with the song, please read first!


There stands a girl,
In the middle of a barren snow covered field,
Hands covering her chest waiting...
waiting...
waiting...

There marches a boy into battle,
Spear in the right, shield in the left,
Sudden silence...
coldness...
darkness...

A soft death.

The soldiers return,
Joy fills the air: Victory!
The girl runs through the crowd,searching...
Searching...
Searching...

Snow begins to fall,
A loved one has died,
So there stands the girl,
In the middle of a barren snow covered field,
Hands covering her chest waiting...
waiting...
waiting...

To no avail.

Enjoy! ^_^

Enjoy everyone !

This is subject to change within the next day, but I'll submit it now just in case.

Presenting Team Crumble-Onuts' (Maestrossetti's and Deathraider's) String Quartet in Eb Major (http://www.crumble-onuts.com/music/String_Quartet.mp3) in two movements:

To blend our two very different styles, we each created a main theme and used both themes within the movement. See if you can pick out the themes.

Meim & Thorn: Tetralatry

description included in download.

I most say the 3 entries are great! Congratulation guys! :)

Unfortunely My partner and I can't participate due he got busy all this time and we saw each other less of five times. If someone wondering our theme was going to be a Pirate theme with a story sticked.

Anyway Congratulations for such good work!

Edit: Noir7 is alive right? o_0

my partner has the final copy and he's missing =]....so yeah gg we're out @.@

I'd say just post what you have, and maybe swap it out later if you have teh opportunity ;).


Anyhow, here's the entry from team Skorchin' Shizeet! It doesn't really have a title, but maybe Skorch would like to provide one (just like the for the team name :heh:).

This one was a bit of rush job since the piece pretty much came together this last week (fortunately during which I've had break). Basically it consisted me of arranging and orchestrating Skorch's piano sketches into a full blown piece. Haven't really thought of a specific program for this piece despite it sounding pretty programmatic (my little sister said it sounded like a banquet for flower people?!@_@) - it sounds sort of like processional at parts, but usually has a mischeviously playful tone. Take your pick I guess.

The midi isn't exactly the same as what I used for the audio version (which has been retweak for balance, along with some notetriggers for extra articulations); if you are going to listen to the MIDI only, I'd advise hearing it with the GM soundfont bank airfont340 (which I sketched the whole piece in basically).

So without further ado:

:cheers:

I think we did a good job since we did this in like 1 week.

As for the name...:think:...I'll get back to you on that :heh:

This is really weird..... Hope everything is ok for Noir7 and Sirdotdot. :(

By the way, I thought a lot more teams were competing here. Seems we only got four compositions...

Yeah but partners are the problem here. My partner is missing =] (havent been on msn since last week)

Really it is very weird those two not around here from long time ago, they generally seem to appear each day here but now no.

From what I understand, Noir7 is doing something with a new job at the moment.

Sorry guys... we couldnt make it :/ I had a really good idea going.. But it just lead to a lot of writers block, Plus our busy schedule.

I know who im voting for ^.^

Supposedly we're being judged, not publicly voted upon.

Edit: btw, there were some major problems with the mp3 that I posted originally, so if you haven't already, please have another listen.

Well, unfortunately, Me and Clarinetist couldn't pull ourselves together in time to post anything. So, sorry guys.

You know, if they don't show up in like another week or so, maybe we should just decide this by popular vote. Or re-elect some more judges?

Well, if what Porsche said is true , ( about the new job ) Noir7 could at least come in here for five minutes and write us a little message to tell us what is happening...

Where is your glorious composition Noir7 ?!?!?!

They're stalling those Sobs -.- Either to build up the suspense or because they're not doen yet.

No, I talked to Sir_Dotdotdot and he doesn't know what's going on either.

You know, if they don't show up in like another week or so, maybe we should just decide this by popular vote. Or re-elect some more judges?

yeah, that sounds like a plan.

we could elect someone to make a voting thread or something and then get someone to close this thread- the "absolute deadline" was a week ago to be fair...

I tried messaging Gand about it, but he never replied.

Here's the new link for our song ( for people who haven't got the chance of hearing it yet ) since the link only lasts 7 days.

Porsche, could you edit it in your first post please ! :)

OK, this is getting ridiculous. What should we do?

right. well i say that if we just made a new thread and abandonned this one, then it will get locked eventually, so dont worry about it. maybe if more of us message one of the mods then they will come lock it for us?

second, is it going to be an open voting thread like the past competitions or are we having judges + if so which ones?

personally i like how it was last time- as in it was open voting, but votes were only accepted if you posted which you had voted for and why- that would get around people voting for themselves too?

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, how about one of us PM Angelic to help us out and we'll do the public voting thing. Sound good to everyone?

I'm in !

Right, ive done it, and im going to PM Angelic now.

last thing to decide on- when to close the voting? if we can agree on a date i will add it to the thread title

also if any of the links arent working let me know

also Team Skorchin' Shizeet- if you come up with a title for your entry let me know and i will change that too
