December Monthly Competition

Finally!!!! December Competition.

I need 2 judges with a IM mail and all the competitors that want!!!!!!

Happy end of year, and happy new year my firends.

Objetive: Create music without any musical note.

How? with common sounds, like a toilet and a chiken.

there will be not score. and anyone can join.

Rules: dont use any musical note.

The harmony will be so much important in the evaluation, more that the rythm and "melody". the most creative, nice, cool, and hamonical one will win.

I know that is december and later is a new year and this are vacation; for this reason the deadline will be january 10, and results in january 15. there will be no tolerance, any song that wasent upload befor the deadline will not participe.

here is an example

Actually, it's impossible not to use a *musical note* as *musical notes* are sound waves at different frequencies. Any of the sound frequencies can be *musical notes* if arranged in a way that makes *music*, which is an arrangement of sounds manipulated for a desired result.

So, the objective of this competition is to arrange sounds in such a way that it doesn't sound anything like music but seems to be the most interesting combination?

If this isn't a music competition then why is it on a *music* forum? I think this competition is silly... I was looking forward to entering, so I'd have a reason to write some *music*, not just some strange arrangement of sounds that sounds weird.

i don't know, i think the idea is pretty clear and basic compositional material is supposed to be, more or less, field recordings (music concrete) and such. as for ligeti's example, if i'm not mistaken, it's rgorous electronic work, which raises the equestion, which electronic blurps and beeps are allowed and what is not (i.e. oscilators, synthesizers). i think it would be good to say that all musical material should be in one way or another recorded usual everyday surrounding sounds, i.e. machines, water boiling, farting, aplausse, forest at night, stuff like that. i for one, would add musical material recorded in a noisy (that is, not mastered, not for production) surroundings, like you smoking in a balcony with chimes sounding and somewhere in the backround - poulenc playing and etc. the only thing is that you make a texture, a noise harmony out of whatever material you use.

but no, i don't think i'll join, there's too much drinking to be done during this time of a year, though i like the idea.

OK, I will be the first :) here is my really strange and sad "piece" called "Chamber of Horrors"

get ready for this :)

It would qualify as "an arrangement of sounds manipulated for a desired result," which is your own definition.

Stop scalloping.

Whatever you say, Assmunch.

my friends, we are YOUNG!!!

let this waste for the olds and start composing.

I dont see why music have to have musical notes.

I dont see why you keep doing the same... since 1600!!!! come on, lets do some changes to this. We dont need to do music with the things that our grandpas do it, and use noises to do music dont nessesary have to be concrete music. My propous is find a way to do with sounds -not notes- music that sounds good to all. Concrete dont like to all, acousmatic dont like to all, but we cand find a way to do music with that recourses that like to the most: beautifull music and estetic sounds with a diferent material.

I dont will give you examples because I want that you explote your creativity, not do some like someone, every thinbg thatyou post will be nice, because come out of your mind and soul, dont try to imitate some one, try to create some that you like it, for this reason I dont post extryct parameters and clare rules, because i dont want some equal, i want some of you, and puting out the material -musical notes- that yu ever use, im shure that you will find more ways to do music and more waysto express you.

and... "an arrangement of sounds manipulated for a desired result," is the same that music and art.
