Conceptual Music Competition 12: The Sinner's Choice

So it doesnt necassarily have to be "Dark Dark and very depressing" [my interpertation] of what the background should be ?

Not if you can pull it off the way you want to. You have a lot of freedom in this. Your only limitation is believability. You have to be able to get your audience to buy into the concept, just by listening to your music (and maybe with a little help from reading the description).

Eh, exactly what I was thinking.
Instead of having a... clear melody I was just gonna try to set a mood for the beginning and middle as a "Dark" like theme and then... do something with the rest of the piece to match the storyline/background that is given.

We have a couple options here. I have received no entries for this round. What that measn is that I can either extend the deadline for another week or two or I can change out the theme itself, which would ultimately lead to pushed back deadline. I need to hear from everyone on this.

Just FYI, I'm not participating in this one, I don't have the time.

And yeah, I don't think you give enough time as it is. You give about a month. I think you should give two months, you'd get a lot more submissions and for those of us who are slow composers such as myself, you'd get better quality submissions.

Extender the deadline might help.

Okay, so it turns out there was actually one submission. He sent it to my Hotmail account (which blocks mail from anyone not on my contact list). I just received it on my Yahoo account this evening. So, here's the deal. One, I can extend the deadline a bit to let a few more people enter. A possibility would be to give this person one additional point for being the only one to enter on time. Two, just say the guy won and move on to round thirteen. Well?

I'm with the move on to round 13 [mainly because my piece still needs work]
But I'm also with the extending the time :]
Hmm.....
Any choice I'm fine with :]

Okay. So the plans have changed. I was originally going to just cut the losses and move on to the next round. Turns out, there's now a second submission. So, we'll move forward with the voting round as soon as I receive a description for the piece. Expect to listen to the pieces and vote by the weekend.

The entries are up! Time to vote!
