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!

Exactly how "mini" can the music be?

Also, I'm having some trouble recording because my computer can't play it and record it without pausing in the middle of the playback. Would anyone be willing to record it for me if I sent it to them? (and send in back XD)

I suppose as long as it is audible...

I meant more of how short can it be. Mine is a 20 second loop.

(see above edit too)

I think what kentona meant in terms of being audible was, for example, if the song lasted for half a milisecond, then it wouldn't really be audible (for the contest at least). Also, kentona mentioned loops earlier in the comments:

author=kentona
author=Happy
I'm only wondering does the song need to have a separate ending, or can it be a loop which is faded out when it starts to repeat?
It can be a loop which is faded out when it starts to repeat.

Also, if you recall, people didn't strictly adhere to the requirements of the phases from the past Music Challenge, for better or for ill. Some people took into account how well people adhered to the requirements when casting votes, some did not.

I just submitted my piece! I'm so proud for actually making something that it doesn't matter that it isn't very good!

I appreciate the deadline extension, kentona. I just happened to discover the contest yesterday! I don't know what the original deadline was but I submitted my song last night.

I guess I have a knack for that -- for the Music Challenge in January, I found out about the contest and jumped in within a day of the first deadline, haha.

Oh and I should mention that it's really great the challenge was made "mini". I don't think I can ever compose something longer than 1 minute! :x

I wonder if I can I make a song in two hours.

I doubt it.

The contest currently closes in about 2.5 hours. Are you saying you need 3 - 3.5 hours to be able to submit it?

Woops! My calculations are off. I need five hours (North Carolina would = 4:30)
Ergggh! School!
