Winter is Coming
As per common law:
-I (the host) will provide a theme for the challenge.
-You will be given four weeks to compose one song with said theme.
-The song must be a new track made for this challenge.
-You will post your song here, in the official challenge thread.
-Other participants will listen to your song. You will listen to other participants' songs. Critique will be had.
-A winner will be chosen by the host/poll.
-The winner will host the next challenge.


Description: OH NO!! Your favourite game is making a sequel and it just happens to have an Ice Level. The game company has hired YOU to make music for it and your first task is to write music for that Ice Level. They need the track in the next 4 weeks so they can send a demo of the level to the publisher.

The goal of this challenge is to create a winter tune. It can be eerie, happy, sad, you name it. It can also be made with any instrumentation you wish… You want to make a dubstep/chiptune/(insert any other sort of instrumentation you please)? Have at it! *Sleigh bells are allowed*


Rules:
If we don’t feel the winter, you’re fired from this fantasy gig  Waaagh!

Other than that, have a bell ball


Judging:

I will choose 3 finalists and create a poll to elect a winner

You will be judged on:
Creativity: Is the piece memorable? Are there parts that stick out to the listener making them want to listen/play on?
Production: Is the piece sequenced/recorded/mixed well?
Overall theme: Does the piece fit the theme?


Deadline: Whenever it isn’t December 1, 2015 anywhere in the world



Examples:

Mario 64, Snow Mountain:



Banjo Kazooie, Freezeezy Peak:


 
Metriod Prime, Phendrana Drifts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbbUv1hz6mE


*As stated above, critique will be had amongst both from me and amongst yourselves.  I find critique hard to come by sometimes, but very helpful when I get it! Be a pal and offer some constructive criticism to other posts if you have the time.*  My Word!

Nice to see you back around these parts Pearl Pixel. You had me hooked at 'Winter Is Coming', but now all I hear is the GOT theme  Smiley.

Gonna try and make time for this one.

Thanks for the great theme for the challenge Pearl Pixel. I've wanted to write a submission for the last few challenges but never managed to sit down and do it. This time I've sat down with my Breakdown Epiphanies writing-buddy and we've come up with something. It's not finished yet but I have the feeling it's going somewhere (hopefully north).
Cheers

Sounds great! Uni is finishing up so I'll hopefully have time for this one. Summer is coming where I am so I'll have to try extra hard to get in the zone  Smiley

Went outside my comfort zone here and wrote an actual "theme", after staring at this painting for awhile.

I finally got around to making a submission. Smiley Originally this was intended as a Christmas-Carol-like composition. While a dark atmosphere, I still feel it captures a wintry sound and therefore fits the criteria. Smiley

Here is our entry to the challenge:

https://soundcloud.com/breakdownepiphanies/tig-challenge-xliv-winter-is-coming

We imagined a dreamy side-scroller for this one and the game would take place in a futuristic, gloomy city way up in the north just at the edge of the eternal ice. While at first the character moves through the city, accompanied by some cold and lush textures, when the Steve Reich part hits at 1:03 they find a strange device, put it on and at 1:18 it takes them flying into the arctic sky.
We wrote this suite to make the pitch to our fictional game devs. Hope they like what they hear Wink
