The winner will be chosen by the community (if all conditions are met above). I will go by the amount of “hearts” each track get. So make sure you only “heart” the posts below with your favorite tracks!
That’s great John. I just decided to put this contest in its own section here in the community. Submit your track by creating a new post (create new topic) in this section, with your track link and description in the post.
I’m currently enrolled in an orchestral composition course & this week’s assignment is to compose a 30 second track. I made one yesterday & for practice I wanted to make a few more before I submit my work, so if I get a few done maybe this group could help me to pick which one I turn in for my assignment to be graded…Just a thought.
That’s great Julia. Well then you have no excuse for not joining Julia!
Everyone is a winner in my view, as long as we get to do music and evolve our skills and craft as composers.
My only concern is a number of instruments I need to use. 3 low drums, 2-3 middle drums like taiko and what else? How many high hats or high drums like sticks -one or more? One or two short strings? Low pads or single long basses -one or more? I will figure out the rest. Thanks! I I absolutely love your course Mikael! Very logic, with very helpful demonstration, very good!
I don’t think you should overthink this area. The most important thing is “over the top” accents and extremely high contrast. Also the main/core groove of your beat (=percussion) should be very focused.
I’m glad you enjoy my course Julia, and I think this contest can be a great practice opportunity for writing a very rhythmically and percussion focused piece of music.
