Just throwing more ideas of there - what if we did some kind of "medley mashup" where one takes two songs from a game and arrange them in such a way that their melodies, when played similtaneous, form a new cohesive whole?

Polyphony?

I suppose polyphony would be a good word for basis. For example, if this idea gets anywhere, I was thinking of arranging a piece that would similtaneously incorporate two different boss battle themes from a certain game that I'm not going to mention into one. It would be a good exercise in counterpoint.

Omg. Was just thinking about that yesterday. Don't really want to do that for the competition though.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Bespinben

I have a supporter! *woot*

It sounds like everyone wants to do a waltz though, but at least we got some new ideas for the third contest ^_^

With bonus points if you can make it work with the two melodies in different keys!! And I don't mean relative major/minor :P

Bespinben

That would be awesome. Though, now I'm beginning to think that my "medley mashup, polyphony, counterpoint" proposal would be dissuading to many as it may require more technical prowess and less room for spontaneous creativity. I'm still all for it though.

I think it's the best idea we have so far.

Ok, so we have waltz and polyphony/counterpoint to choose from. I think the latter would be more fun to do, but not this early in trying to get the game organized. We'd want something simple to make sure we all know how the game works, judging, rules, etc. Plus with something as complicated as combine two themes is, it may be a bit much for right now.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

Lets just do a quick round for the waltz. GOGOGO!

Who's going to judge, same people as last time? If so we'd need a fourth because I'd like to enter the contest this time around.

If I am a judge, then I won't participate in the contest, but you got here first, so I guess I'll just stick with arranging.
