Another composition contest?

Hey Nathan - fantastic!

I am interested. You may have thought of this already but may I suggest some theme could really be open to many different genres? Anything from orchestral , electronica, to industrial rock?

But yeah, props to you for constantly giving to the community :)

Yes, I'd like to make it open ended to allow as much creativity as possible! Glad you're interested!

Thanks,

Nate

Nathan, this sounds great. I'm definitely interested.

I haven't posted much here since I've been busy building my portfolio now that I graduated from college. (Woot, got my masters in Jazz Performance).

I would defiantly submit an entry to this.

Sweet! Where from and on what instrument(s)?

I'm a jazz pianist and saxophonist.

I'm getting several folks interested on various websites! Great! I'm about to move my wife up Denver with me since she just graduated. So give me a bit.

University of Miami. Trumpet is my main instrument (12 years) and have played piano for 6.

Here's my suggestion, and maybe it's too boring or straight for a contest, but freelance composers in this industry often have to do speculative demos for games that can barely be described-or are in their developmentally infantile stages.

I suggest having people create speculative demos formatted like a typical industry spec demo. (Maybe even have something like create a 60 second theme, 90 second ambient track, and a 60 second battle track--or keep it light with just a theme track, etc, etc)

Give people the option to select one of three different game-types (each with a short description giving specific key words which should be influential on the track development).

The panel of judges would determine which demo(s) most closely reflect the descriptions.

(and the descriptions should be as written by a producer containing either no musical suggestions, or if with musical suggestions, have them misleading or misinformed)

I am interested.

Hi Nathan,

I am interested and would love to hear details.

Thanks.

count me in.

p.s.
i'm a jazz guitarists, been to berklee, around 12 years in jazz.

Sounds fun. I'm in.

I'm interested.

Hey guys!

I'm still settling into the new place and living amongst castles of boxes. This is still something I want to put on. Just give me a bit more time to pull everything together and I'll share all of the details then!

Thanks!

Nathan

I'll give it a shot!

Sweet! I've started assembling the judges already and am working on a few other details. More to come!

I'm interested, sounds like fun.

Hey sure why not?

I'd love to participate, however, I'm really new to composition itself. So, if it's okay if I send in some stuff only to get feedback on my music and not to really win the contest, I'm in.

very good idea..i am in..
