Event id #2374 : Summer SID Competition
Your mission Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to create a SID composition within following rules:
One night during this northern summer you shall find yourself dreaming of music, perhaps only a few notes worth of melody. You'll write that down and work it to a composition. The composition is arranged into four intervowen sections.
Introduction -> Development -> Repetition -> Coda
This is sometimes referred as the sonata-form.
For example: The mood of the composition is set in the introduction that'll become developed into the main theme that shall be repeated perhaps with variation ending into finale.
Composition length, genre and number of entries are free.
Technical details:
- Provide an executable file that runs on real c-64.
- Provide preferred SID-type info.
- 1 and 2 SID entries will be judged separately.
All entries shall be released at the same time and there will be few weeks for voting. There will be a site up later on where to upload your entries.
As with the past Ambient competition, the result shall be announced in a webcast where all entries are played with real c-64 in their entirety.
As with all good music, you compose and arrange a piece of music, and your virtuosity with the instrument provides the sound.
CSDB voting will choose the popular winners in the end of the voting period. In addition to that I will select a song that in my opinion best reflects the form.
Good luck, Jim. I hope this message won't self destruct in 5 seconds. |

Nice.. a question though. The tune doesn't necessarily have to have a summer vibe right? I.e. summer is time of the competition but not the theme? |

Aren't at least half of all songs done this way in general? ;) |

That's ok, most of csdb voters don't. And most musicians don't do what they're asked to do anyway. |

Great idea!
Nitpick:
Quoting MixerIntroduction -> Development -> Repetition -> Coda
This is sometimes referred as the sonata-form.
Sonata-form is actually more specific. First, theme A is introduced. Then, theme B is introduced in a different key. In the development, these themes interact, kind of like two people having an argument. The argument reaches a consensus in the repetition part, in which theme B is restated in the original key of theme A. Then follows a free-form coda.
Of course, the compo rules were pretty clearly described by Mixer, and there's no need to adhere to this stricter form. But perhaps it could be an inspiration; especially the argument-consensus structure. |

@lft: Certainly. This competition is however not about being 'classical' and not about conformity, but this is about being brave!
@Stinsen: Vibe depends on the kind of dreams you have. :)
The purpose of the excercise is to take your inspiration, for instance just a few note melody, and morph it into four purposes that become the structure of a four part composition.
Now, go on and make magnificient music. Form is given. Break the form! |
