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!

I'd absolutely love to do this
It's a shame i'm about as good at composing music as I am throwing swords to Mount Everest and back...
Anyone know if it's possible to use audacity to make a song... if it's possible, i'll give it a shot...


I don't know everything Audacity is capable of, but I'd say it's possible to make an electronic song. From the menu bar, "Generate" can make sound clips from scratch and various "Effects" can be applied to them.
This is great :3 can't wait to hear all of the music! I wander what the theme will be. Maybe mystery since this competition has been a contest so far.
I don't think I'm going to get answers, and maybe more backlash than answers for asking this, but who have joined so far?
Let's see.... we have Participant #1 and Participant #12. Participant #4, Participant #6, and Participant #7. Oh, Participant #3, Participant #2, Participant #11 and Participant #9 too. Who else...Participant #5. And Participant #8 and Participant #10. Last but not least, Participant #13

Wow! What a list of All Stars! I'm so excited!
Hm, perhaps I could join and persevere in a certain music program until I get get the desired results. Any mooooore suggested (free) musical software?
I can't believe i'm going to give this a shot, but i've signed up....
It doesn't have to loop does it? So it can be a ramopunk song?

No looping requirements or anything like that! The only requirements are that it be less than 2 mins, and an original composition made for this event.

The theme is going to be Ramopunk.

You have roughly 2 weeks! Go! Also, (at this point in time) you only have one shot at uploading the song! You can remove your entry, but it errors out if you try to re-upload it later. I will try to get this fixed...

Sweet theme! So excited to see what comes out!

Are remixes allowed?
Just little bits of track taken from different tracks to make something new and different?

I'd say no. :|
No, it has to be original and composed specifically for this event.
you know what #@;~ audacity, i'm using that Mario Paint Composer!

Sorry... double post... won't happen again...
I have to use Audacity to record my Mario Paint Composer song and save it as an MP3. I open up both, set up Audacity to record playback, and press play on MPC. There is probably a better way to do it...
How do you do that?
Edit: NVM, found out myself
