"If we get any angry DnB mixes with death metal growls your songs are

obviously, made of fail."

Any picture can sound like anything given the context. Is there a certain context binded to the picture for this contest?

the picture presented is the theme and emotion behind it. There is not a single shred of malice, anger, or destruction based on it. You'd have to argue profusely to try and get anybody to agree and that in itself entails that your emotion is not one easily seen, which obviously is not going to be a winning angle.

Actually, Maestro, my original plan was to when I was on my flight yesterday to take some pictures and make you use those.

Of course, I forgot my camera. :p

Response to Mac8 - Fif Discussion Thread 2008-10-01 13:39:45


HOLY LOOL

I've been making a song the last few weeks. You know what inspired me to make it?

A flight in a tiny aircraft like that!! My uncle owns one, and wanted to take my father up there- but he chickened out so I went up there instead. We went over the highest layer of clouds n stuff, was an awesome experience that fits this contest theme perfectly.

I will probably be able to submit it today or tomorrow, so don't accuse me of putting no effort into it like a lazy fuck :)

Question :D

Say we recorded vocals, and the lyrics reflected said picture. Does that get us ahead in anyway? Or is it more music related?

Tar. <3

Just want to say that I really like the idea behind this MAC.
Especially because it will give such a wide variaty of genre's
altrough I think that *kinda jurassic park theme* inspired thingies will
take the lead. But that is just a guess.

Everyone have fun and good luck :).


Retro never get old!

When I saw that image, the first thing I thought of was of a plane dropping an atomic bomb with the orange mushroom cloud in the distance, but that's just me. All things are subjective. The only difference between what is acceptable and what isn't is YOUR opinion... but I'll promise not to do any angry dnb metal growling cat secks noise. I'll conform... for you...

You DO realize an atomic bomb is... like twice as heavy as that plane, which is why they had some pretty big ass planes to drop them.

You don't think after all these years they haven't figured out a way to make them smaller? We can fit those things in breif cases now. In fact... when ever I look at a brief case, I run screaming.

Wicked pissa

I got a nice ambient song brewing for this contest. I think might turn it into a downtempo style song. I really like this idea. One of the more creative MACs, well for the composer's side.

Okay, so, I submitted a song a couple weeks/months ago, and it PERFECTLY fits the theme and picture of this mac, Link. Could I remix it, and submit that? I mean, I dont think I will be able to maek a song that good again... lol

If not, Ill just have to try and make another flight song, bleh.

but we already had a pic D:... the whole point of this MAC was to take inspiration from a pic. The next MAC's will require custom art though, i'll inform ya aboot those ;D!

I'm not going to stop you, but I have to be honest, fully original work for the MAC would probably place you higher.
