Listening to music.
Moments of great emotion.
Stories.
Books.
Movies.
You can even try randomizing a melody and finding what you like then editing it.
Babies.

I'd go with the zune, better video capalities. Although, if you get yourself a G1 with a nice fat microSDcard you got it all.

Maybe...so what did you think of that?

Your face. Alright, the dead line is coming within days and I have a few judges ready to judge.

Things are going along smoothly

why does everyone say "contest"

AM I NOT OFFICIAL ENOUGH FOR YOU?

Also, which part of the song (in secs) do you want transcribed? Do you need sheet music or are the notes just fine? Also, do you want all of the instruments transcribed or just a specific part?

Give us some more specifics and you may get some more offers. Also, are you just asking us a favor or is there something in return? If there's something in return, you will get infinitely more offers.

~SinJim

I may be out of luck then.

The details are simple. Six seconds of audio, the instrument is a piano, I wont be able to give you anything in return except promotion and an end product.

PM ME!

All you'll have to do is find out the notes for about 6 seconds of music, then send it over here.

So let me see if i understand... you want us to do the notes for you, and you then want a female vocalist to magically appear and do the lyrics? What exactly do you plan on doing?

WHOA! Stop connecting the dots. TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT PROJECTS. That's why they are in separate threads.

Those are pretty vague rules.

No key? Specific mood? Just anything at 170?

Sweet. Hopefully I can get a few more people to judge with me :]

I want this to be EPIC!

Kay, so I'd like to have female vocals in a few of my songs.

There aren't any written lyrics, i'm not asking you to sing me a song. I'm asking that you can speak the english language ( or any language) and count to 10.

if you can do that and you have a mic PM ME!!!!!

Jazz and Power Metal, maybe a few techno elements if you count the synth..

Fantastic! I'll add it to the blogpost.

I like everything so far, I honestly have no idea who's winning because everything is so different. but. I love the variety.

I WANT MORE AND MORE AND MORE

It really is an odd world. Do your thing war spawn, and if someone steps on your nuts tell them to back off.

:]

Two old songs?

Hm...Sorry, If you want I'll replace it but no submitting of two songs. Maybe in a future contest

Well it's not that simple. Volume levels + Reverb + Slight off tuning + Timing + Other stuff

not exactly easy either

It's not like he's getting any attention, or making any money.

even if he ran ads, more people listen to your work on NG then go to his page.

much more

THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX

You can submit anything.

Updating blog post

I'll review the songs in the coming days, when the constest comes to an end I'll judge them with echoz or someone.

short deadline? i was afraid of that

SEPTEMBER 13th

That should do it.

At 8/31/08 12:10 AM, Yodamanjaro wrote: I guess i could cook up a song real quick for this "challenge" of yours.

How about classical piano, strings, voices, with either hip hop beatz or techno/trance beats?

We'll see what happens...

Sounds pretty awesome, do it!
