Ah yeah, forgot about this. Any other suggestions? I still think it should be something relatively small, so we have more competitiors.

Yeah, I will be able to participate this time, but only as long as it is quite small...

How about something for a solo instrument?

Word.

But I don't think it should be solo instrument. Maybe a duo/duet? I think that would be cool. Maybe it could be something where you get to choose the two instruments (not pre-set) and then go from there.

A duet would be interesting actually.

That's sounds really cool and Y'know what? If you (or someone else) could write up sound guidelines for such a competition then i'd be willing to post it instantly.

Well if you think these ideas are good, we maybe can make a competition of one of these.

*sorry if my english isn't correct.*
Aye.

If no one else will, I can, I haven't seen anyone jump on it the past couple of days. Let me know if you want me too.
