DUET COMPETITION

sign me up as a judge. never did this before

I'll do it

Where and when should I post the completed work? I just finished a piece for cello and flute that I thought I would post in Chamber Music but I may come up with something else in this huge time allowance.
Also, since I only have Kontakt, the cello is not a 'solo' sound, it is an ensemble. I assume that will not disqualify me?

Sign me up. A competition would be great to motivate me to write, and Iºve been wanting to write a piano/cello duo for a long time now....

Signed you up, Verdi_Lver.

I think last time we had all competitors email their submission to the competition organiser, who then forwarded all of those onto the judges. The judges then replied with the judgings. Seemed to work pretty well. We'll probably do that this time.

Note that the "something else" you come up with in between now and the deadline must be at least 50% new material, as dictated by the competition guideilnes.

You should be able to switch to a solo cello patch within Kontakt player.

I'll enter

Kontakt silver does not come with a single cello patch. just ensembles. Unless there is another way this is all I have available.

What I have ready now I started after signing up and anything else would also be started from scratch.

So I assume it's ok to post my cello piece now and if I decide to use it in the contest I will e-mail it later?

I see. Would it not be possible to play back one instrument through Kontakt and the other through MIDI?

I don't quite understand you. If your cello piece is in a fit state to be posted right now (i.e. complete), then you may not use it in the competition. Submissions must consist of at least 50% new material.

He's saying he started it after he signed up, which would make it 100% new material.

And submissions will be posted in a submission thread, not emailed to me. Sorry for not clarifying this earlier. I'll add it to post 1.

Just compose!!! All the arrangements for posting submissions will be made in due time! We actually know what we're doing. (sometimes)

Keep an eye on this forum.
