Description

Welcome to the Mini Music Challenge, wherein participants will compose a piece a music that conforms to the requirements and theme (once revealed). After the submissions deadline, we will all listen to the submissions and vote for a winner!

The last one went over so well I thought I thought I'd do another quick one.


  • This event will consist of a single phase.
  • Participants will be able to sign up and submit their works anonymously using this event page.
  • Votes will be counted and published at end of the event. The person to receive the most votes wins.
  • The composers will have approximately 2 weeks to compose their piece. This will be followed by a short voting period.
  • MP3 is the preferred format, but MIDI and OGG are also acceptable.
  • The composition must be a new and original piece composed specifically for this event.



Short but Effective
There was an ulterior motive for naming this the Mini Music Challenge. For your submission, you are required to keep your piece to 2 minutes or less in length! Can you convey your desired musical aesthetic under this artificial time constraint? You're free to use any kind of instrumentation and sources of sounds you wish.


Riding the Airship!

Let's go to far-off places, and search for treasures bright! Our heroes have obtained an airship and are cruising around the world in an exhilarating flying machine, flowing through the skies with the greatest of ease! But is your RPG a high fantasy? Perhaps it is a steampunk airship? Or maybe it is a futuristic flying device?

Good luck to all the participants!

There will be others in the future, most likely.

Can you imagine how brilliant that would be?!?!
I meant more like, when we're further into these contests.
I would think more... Defeating your possessed best friends from Lava Temples escaping on airships with... yes lots of nostalgic scenes...

We should make a game using the songs from these events.

A game where you collect airships from lava temples and fight against your rivals which are your best friends. And before every fight you get a nostalgia flashback scene...?

I liked Kunsel's tune, but I think Wolfe's had a more airshippy feel to it.

Congrats on everyone that participated!

Only 30 people voted though, is that a lot? For those of you who've been around here longer than I have, how many people usually vote?

I was being sarcastic ;)
It sounded half decent before I started cats, and after the pigs, I was past the point of no return...
The same here, Dudesoft review of mine really made my day XD
I really hate guitar pro instruments and when combine music box with vibrato, I say, Hey it doesn't sound bad and at the end it turns out to be that it really wasn't very good
0 votes for me too. Comments were funny though.

Mine reminded someone of 'Earthbound' and the rhythm's 'adaptive'. Not sure if those things are good.
Lol'd @MrChearlie's review.
And I have no idea what you meant by 'Tom's Variety Store' Dudesoft, unless it's supposed to be some kind of inside joke. :/

I can't believe I got 0 votes. I worked for like 30 minutes on mine.
okay it was less than that.
Well done everybody, especially Kunsel who won!

I'm new here, this event actually was what attracted me to this site. Although I didn't get any votes I'm glad you guys enjoyed it, even if it didn't sound like an airship theme to all.

I actually challenged myself to see what I could do within one hour, and that's all I spent on it :). I hope there are more challenges like this to come, next time I'll use the couple of weeks to complete it instead. Also I plan on extending my Airship theme :).

Nice to meet ya's.

Anyways, I'm glad that everybody liked it, and if there's another contest I'll be happy to compete again!


That's the spirit ;)
Congrats Kunsel! And congrats Athenium for our tie for second place!

Lately I've been doing nothing but chiptunes; it's great to find out I can be competitive with a GM soundfont too. It's inspired me to reconsider midis instead of mp3s for my current RPG project.

Thank you to everyone who voted for me! :)
Thanks everyone! I worked really hard on it and I'm glad that that paid off!

Good job to everyone that entered the contest, there were some great entries!

Anyways, I'm glad that everybody liked it, and if there's another contest I'll be happy to compete again!
