Heres meh tune "The Pumpkins Gone Bad" First half is a spooky build up to a groovin Ghosteastra :D http://senduit.com/cacb97its only up for a week, casue Ive nowhere to host it  This tune is great. I also like the atmosphere in 0rel's sketch #2... Completely forgot about the last challenge, barely caught this one. Good idea for a compo Compound - Boo Box |

Hahahaha! I love "Boo Box." It made me crack a big goofy grin once the bass clarinets started doing their "oompah oompah" thing.  |

Last minute entry time! Ghost WaltzKind of rushed it, so there's no ending. I like the melody though. |

I like it! No ending is okay, so long as it loops, which this one does pretty well. |

Okay, lots of good entries, but I think compound takes the win here with "Boo Box." It's not the scariest track, but it is the most interesting as far as composition and exploring a musical theme. Congrats!  |

Compounds is very nice The intro is Danny Elfman esque, something to be proud of, the rest of it has an elfman flavour as well, really nice work.  WIN BUTTON ACTIVATED! |

Cheers guys, appreciate the thoughts. And thanks Craig Stern for running a nice challenge  Boo is a bit of a Elfman/Williams hybrid, a really stripped down and hokey parody, sorta. Just watched Hook recently after not having seen it in a very long time, hence the title 'Boo Box.' Shit was bangerang. Also, the cheeky Halloween-themed vinyl LP influence is pretty apparent. I miss those days... Anybody got any ideas for what the next challenge should be? I'm thinking maybe ripping the Assemblee compo and doing the same thing, where we all make samples and are restricted to use only those samples in our compositions and nothing else. One of those mash-up deals, but while it's trendy. And then maybe you could submit your tune(s) to Assemblee. |

Interesting idea! I'd be willing to give that a try, though I can't promise that I'll be able to contribute very many useful samples.

Well, that's where the challenge part comes in. A challenge to make good samples, a challenge to make a good composition  But this is completely theoretical at the moment. There's lots of other stuff that could be done. I think. |

It's a cool idea. I'd definitely contribute some samples.

Anyone got any other ideas they'd like to pitch? This is kind of scary thing.
Think we should just do this? Not sure what the rules/criteria could be... There are lot of different ways to go about doing this. I like the idea of one-shot multisamples allowed for any tonal/musical/melodic notes and rhythmic material like drums and percussion must be in a loop, and you could create these loops with any sounds you wanted.

Isn't muzak kinda generic and cheesy by definition? Personally, I'd rather have a competition theme that inspires me to write something original and interesting.
What about a competition where you have to incorporate real-life sounds that you record yourself into your song? It's a little bit like the Assemblee knock-off idea, but I think it would be a lot easier to manage. Just a thought.

Muzak is a great idea, I can say that would be challenging and interesting for me. Real life recordings is not bad, either. I'd be up for giving that one a go.
Any lurkers/participants out there care to give your thoughts? Mash-up/Assemblee, Muzak, Real Life Recordings? They all sound like solid themes to me.

I still like the assemblee idea best. But really, they all sound like they'd be fun.
