Lightbulb Evocative Music Game!

Hey, here's my idea:

I'll each participant a few words like "sexy" or "barking dog" and they'll have to compose a short piece evocating it. For example, in the first case, I would probably do a small stage band with trumpet and sax growls. As a counterexample, if my words are "barking dog" I wouldn't be allowed to include an actual bark in my song, though I could imitate it with an instrument.

Then, pieces will be submitted here and people will try to figure out the word(s).

I thinks it's gonna be fun! Just post here if you want to participate and/or PM me!

It's alright ajamesu,
I look at this thread every day and send a message with the keywords to those who want to participate!

Remember to keep your words secret! You'll need people to guess them when you'll be done!

Ah, that makes sense. I was just wondering why you were PM'ing them to us, I thought we were going to do them all on the same words, but this is a better idea.

No, there's no deadline, just submit your piece when you're done. This is more a game than a contest
