July Competition

Great, Yes you can judge, and dan you can enter.

I volunteer as a judge.

I would love to judge, if you need people.

Don't see my name recognized as an entrant. Just making sure it is.

so when you're saying we can use ANY octotonic scale, are you saying we can make one up? or just a variation of the diminished, starting at different points? just trying to clarify...:)

Will there be a submissions thread or do we just submit them here?

Submit here, Bachian.

By the way, I really hope everyone is still doing this...I wish these competitions were bigger

oh my. ;)

Sorry if this seems a stupid question - but could you tell me what an octotonic scale is?

(I have looked in my music dictionary but this term is not in there.)

Look here.

For this competition, however, it is my understanding that any collection of 8 pitches may be used.

C, D, D-sharp, E, F, F-sharp, G, A-sharp, C, for example would be acceptable.

I'd also assume that, since any 8 tone collection is allowed for this competition, an 8-tone row would also be acceptable (though I'd need conformation on that), as would a piece in 8-tone equal temperament, or even an 8 pitch collection that doesn't confine itself to the octave, for example, a pitch collection that spans an octave and a 5th, such as:

C, D-sharp, F, G-sharp, B, C-sharp, E, G

Or

C, D (+37.5 cents), F (-an eight-tone), G (+12.5 cents), A (+a quarter-tone), C (-12.5 cents), D (+ an eight tone), F (-37.5 cents) (though if you kept going with this one, you'd actually end up with more than 8 pitches :iffy:)

Just to give you some ideas. ;)

I'll submit my piece now, so I don't forget.

Scale used - C, Db, Eb, E, F#, G, A, Bb.

It's very playable. I can play the majority of my piano pieces, which means they are very playable, as I'm not a great performer.

Here goes nothing!!!!!!

Are you going to tell everyone that you don't like theirs and that you like yours better? :laugh:

hahaha, maybe.... hahaha good idea.

ouch. I'm here to give a shot and get some advice on this whole thing called "composition".... not to be bashed. Man... that really hurts. Like... seriously....

Don't worry jimmyjuicin, that is why pablofm is not a judge but a contestant. You'll be judged fairly. After the competition is over, I would suggest posting it in a chamber/piano thread to get advice. (I haven't listened to it yet so I won't post about it).

Cool song thatguy, i like it, great job, i hope you win... if i not upload a song, lol

Not everything he has said has been bad. :pinch:
