I’ve always wanted to do a 24hr comp but figured it would be very difficult to get people to join in. A lot of people don’t see the post until later. Only way I could see to do it is make a post announcing the comp, say it starts on the 15th ends 16th. Upload the pack on the 15th.
Other problem with this is time zone differences. 24hrs from comp start is going to be different for everybody
@cyclopian you know the sponsored one we did (by a sample house) was really cool. People won either a professional pack or the grand prize winner got the whole catalog iirc.
An end of year comp would be dope too. Maybe even a Bandcamp release or sth.
@Tolsof you could do a distributed pack release according to time zone but that sounds like a hassle tbh. Wonder how else we could enforce short deadline.
How about a comp where you make a track using the audio from a section of a movie or TV show?
Say, a 5 minute clip with talking, ambient effects and incidental noises. Someone could extract the audio and then we use that 5 min clip to pull out our own sounds and construct a tune from that…
I don’t know something like this maybe? There’s a lot of nice bits in this…
We had Hunnit, we had the anything-goes one most recently… even Moop sorta qualifies.
But:
I mean, c’mon - with this many ninjas on the wagon and/or broken up atm plus the weather all shit for everybody except nuSD5 - this should be a stellar time for comps lol. Been dipping into Reaper again, feels good.
Who won the last regular (pack-only/last winner does next pack) one anyway?
Remix a song without using stems or any of your own samples. Just use whatever you can take from the song.
(I’m currently working on a remix in this way of Burn It Down by Daughter so figured it’d kick me up the arse to finish it)
Make a track using only elements from a given movie clip.
Make a track in one genre using only sounds commonly found in another, eg a dubstep track using typical gabba sounds.
Build a track around an accapella using any of your own samples.
Potluck. Everyone involved submits one unique sample (a kick from one person, a snare from another, a pad from a third and so on) then make a track using only the given samples.
Make a track using only your own field recordings.
So down to compose a film score
Been wanting to do ambient/soundtrack shit for a while now, besides finishing earlier tunes. Come next week, cant wait to start building stuff
How we going to pick the scene to score?
I reckon it should something obscure, nothing from terminator or anything like that.
Length-wise? 3 to 4 mins?
