I submitted the first piece that I was ever proud of. It's a reflection of not only my current life, but a life that I'm trying to create. It's a multi-movement (Rondo (ABCA'DA''), Sonata, Free-form) piece that spans 20 minutes and even unusual scale types (Hungarian/Egyptian scale in the last movement). Took a lot of effort and research, but I love it to death!

I feel the same way. I submitted mine today, hope you enjoy it.

Good luck with the rest of you guys, it's been fun.

'Til the hour of judgement.

I likely will submit mine on the last day (the 4th), considering I still have a bit more music, embellishments and all vocals to do.

Decided to scrap the idea I've had up to this point in a fit of rage and am now starting anew, four days from the deadline, with the three last days being used for work.

This is going to be fun.

I did the same thing, then I "finished" my submission in about 6 hours.... as I do with most of my music.

I say "finished" in quotes because I may or may not add a few things before the deadline... we shall see... although I'm quite fond of it as is.

Music structure about 90% done, lyrics about 2/3 done. Hoping to finish music tonight and sing/record everything!
And I remember the last time I wanted to throw in a bodhran, I didn't get to do it yet -- I'm going to make sure I do it this time.

Response to Dreams of Splendor Discussion 2013-01-31 18:22:40


I think I'm about done - just going to ask the opinions of a few people before I submit mine!


Stuff.

My AIM piece is found if you clicky the image.

I was thinking about this too, but Quest for the crown was strictly orchestral music so it was based on those factors... Bosa didn't really specify genre so they might be different :3

Very good pieces submitted thus far ladies and gents! I've been trying to listen to all the pieces I can. Competition aside, a lot of quality stuff has been produced that I find myself listening to a lot.

So you would rather choose my competitors over me? I see how it is.

Backing vocals done. Only main vocals, bodhran and final mixing left. I swear, I'm about to tear my hair apart with this thing...

You know you didn't get enough sleep last night when you read the above as, "Guess I'll just stick to doing a bit of masturbating, now."

Estimated chance of victory; Increased by 30%.

Honestly though, that sucks. :< I was hoping to see what you'd come up with, considering your spectacular past submissions.

I agree, there are WAY too many awesome tracks in this contest. It may just come down to a coin flip :P

Hard at work on my song right now, there isn't a chance in hell I'll be able to complete it in time, but at the very least I'll post what I've made up to the point I'll be at when the deadline comes.

Handed in my song yesterday. Made a better version today... I hate it when that happens. Shows work is never done.
