January 2, 201016 yr javileru - Unfortunately you have way too many good ideas cobbled together to win. Seriously ... I think you could pull a nice long sonata movement and slow movement from this ... Though I love it just seems to run out of steam and just adds more stuff - kind of an antidevelopment.
January 3, 201016 yr The anticipation on the results is killing me... it truly is. Yep :D It all depends on what SSC's definition of awful turns out to be! This'll be interesting!
January 3, 201016 yr Author I posted my reviews, buuut there are a couple of entries that don't work or I couldn't review them because I don't have sibelius. Oops. There is still time though as I have not yet said my FINAL VEREDICT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, yeah, thanks to everyone who participated. Those were some interesting 4 hours of listening to this crap, thx.
January 3, 201016 yr haha, this was brilliant.. :lol: . I think we should have this competition every year!
January 3, 201016 yr haha, this was brilliant.. :lol: . I think we should have this competition every year! I absolutely agree, this was incredibly fun! Also, I absolutely love the review of my piece: I made that song by randomly putting in notes in the measures! At first I thought it was suitably terrible, but the piece started, slowly, to grow on me...and to my complete shock, people started reviewing it and saying it was awesome! And now, I can see why: it's a strangely addictive piece... this is awesomely ironic, if you ask me...I may even change the name now! Again, kudos to you, SSC, this was a brilliant idea! :D

January 3, 201016 yr Oooh you don't have Sib? Here's a midi file of "Bryce": http://www.box.net/shared/qi58zxveyb
January 3, 201016 yr Awww drat... I failed :( Yeah, but it's a win-win scenario with this contest: if you win, you have the satisfaction of winning...if you lose, you have the satisfaction of, well, losing! If you can't make a very bad piece, that's pretty awesome news, if you ask me :D
January 3, 201016 yr Thanks SSC for the in depth reviews ... 4 hours of listening to this ????/ Egad. And darn I didn't win yet another competition. Glad you liked my title for the piano piece. And total agreement that the piano piece is WORSE than the marching band piece which had a bit too many interesting ideas in it. That is why I submitted a second entry. Upon relistening to the first piece a few times I agreed I came up with some cool textures (accidentally) and the drums and cymbals gave it a nice Ivesian flair against some of the Glass like stuff. I guess I thought it was bad initially as I just didn't spend anytime listening to marching band music or exploring the instruments capabilities. Rather I let the computer music notation lead me. Which I think is a dicey strategy when composing any piece because you are far less aware of what you are doing or when something truly accidental works. On the other hand, the piano piece I just recalled my classmates stumbling badly to transpose Schubert vocal accompaniment up or down a half step or haphazardly reading c clefs and treble clefs for score reading. Oh yeah and I spent LESS than 10 minutes on both pieces. Just my view that laziness MAY make a bad piece. Thanks again. This is definitely something to do once a year --- and the end of the year is a great time to do it - everyone could use a competition where they are not pressured to write a masterpiece or submit perfect assignments.
January 5, 201016 yr ... It's weird but I'm kind of looking forward to the results for this competition (even though it is a bit of a...strange...one). I most definately second composerorganist's idea of making this an annual competition!
January 5, 201016 yr It's probably too late to get in on this, but I don't care. :) This whole concept is just irresistible. I'm posting an experimental piece for wind quintet I wrote in 2002. It's a study in major and minor seconds, treated melodically and harmonically, as well as in texture and tone colour. In the course of this experiment that when I placed the harmonic intervals very close together or far apart, I achieved totally different kinds of sound by manipulating the overtone series. Beyond that, I'm not sure what value it has as music...it is a bit hypnotic at times, I suppose. But though I learnt a little something from it, I consider it probably the most absurd thing I've ever written. I have to laugh that I could even think of something like this, considering what my primary focus is. Secondi - experiment for woodwind quintet
January 5, 201016 yr Author It's never too late to participate. I'll update the reviews with heckel's second piece and J.lee's later.
January 7, 201016 yr This is my latest entry: this one is, in my opinion, definitely a contender for the worst one yet. http://www.youngcomposers.com/pg/Music/SergeOfArniVillage/composition?entry=25636 I wanted to make something truly, irredeemably awful (after the debacle that was The Most Harribel Thang, in a sense, anyways), and I think I've realy succeeded :D
January 8, 201016 yr Serge, that was aimless and insipid, but I don't know that it was horrible enough to win. It's not my decision to make, though.

January 9, 201016 yr Serge...it was the most boring thing known to mankind and then suddenly at the end BOOOOOM!!!!!! I personally don't think it's as bad as the other entry, it's just drab and dull until the boom scares you to death.

I personally don't think it's as bad as the other entry, it's just drab and dull until the boom scares you to death. *Sighs* :\ Why does it depress me so that I can't sink to the utter depths of musical banality and lameness? :(
January 22, 201016 yr Here's mine. It took me the lesser part of a second to write. Hope you like it! P.S. Actually, Insanity is my real entry for this competition. I actually wrote this some time ago. My greatest composition, by far. Note.bmp Insanity.bmp Insanity.mp3

January 25, 201016 yr SSC, when are we going to hear your final reviews and your final verdict for worst composition on here? :D
