I'm in. I will readily admit that my composition has some flaws and that my performance is pretty bad for some of these instruments. That's what I get for trying to record things i rarely play on a rushed schedule :shrug: https://soundcloud.com/anotherbenjamin/revolving-door-rondo It's a rondo in C ...

Lots of grea ideas this round. A fair bit of deviation around the genre but I don't mind; good music was inspired. My feedback: Yuppi88: You have good sound design for the summer festival style, and your overall flow is solid. The mix could maybe use a little work, for example the kicks 8 measures i...

It looks like Yuppi88's entry is not currently downloadable. Making tracks downloadable is required in the rules, i believe; plus, it's nice to be able to hear the track in its original fidelity. while I'm posting- @tusca I thought your track was rather neat from the bit of it that I heard, even if ...

I think I've been more focused on trying to nail down exactly what "progressive house" is or isn't than on actually making music. I'll try to finish at least one of my concepts but I make no promises I will complete it in time nor that it will be best described as "mainstream progress...

@Anthemic You're most likely too late for the competition but you've made a lovely piece of music. If you could have gotten this in as an entry I think you'd be right at the top. The string/piano intro is so wonderful, and the more synthetic sounds that come in later are quite tasteful in my opinion...

It's so hard to compare these pieces because they took such different approaches to the task. Mozex It's neat but expressionless (see my note below). The piece also doesn't feel like it concludes, it just runs out of notes and stops. A better ending cadence (Perfect Authentic, because we're talking ...

Happy international Make Music day! (and happy summer, for northern hemisphere folks) Presenting my entry: "On Wings" https://soundcloud.com/anotherbenjamin/on-wings I wrote lyrics and a melody, and then used the doodle to generate harmonies for it. I wanted a homorhythmic piece, so I inpu...
