NEW DEADLINE

I won't be here for the end of july, so the new deadline is august 6th. Good luck to everyone who has entered and will enter!

Hey everyone,

Here is my entry: http://forum.youngcomposers.com/t26524/icarus-flies/page__pid__350016__st__0entry350016

The audio didnt function so I uploaded a link to youtube, the score is in the link.

I am curious about the other pieces.

Greetz,

Hugo

I didn't much take into account playability when I made this :lol: Maybe it will win by the other merits. I did have in mind insane euphoria when I made this, after all.

I'll judge.

Thanks Jason :]

And everyone else for the entries!

I'll judge if you still need one.

We don't need one but I could add you in if you want. Do you want to be a judge?

ONE MORE DAY!

Get your entries in tomorrow or be disqualified!

Hey guys, judging starts today, so it should be done by the end of this week. Here's what I have for entries, correct me if I've forgotten anything or have any wrong links. Thanks for the huge participation guys!

You forgot mine!!!

When are the results?

Sorry Heckle! I forgot about yours, was only looking through the thread my bad!

About results, it should be up on sunday or sooner if all goes well. One of our judges has gone away and will be returning to review on thursday. We have two judges (excluding me) who have submitted results so far and it's become a VERY close race for first.

Hey Guys,

I was away for holiday last week. I saw you wanted me to repost the score, so here it is: http://www.box.net/shared/px7jmazr0h

Hopefully you will be able to use that when judging my score.

If there is any trouble opening it, please let me know.

Greetz

Thanks! Jason seems to have got it, but I can't... I got the new one though :]

I am curious who has won :) good luck to all of you! ^_^

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

It was a close competition, the top four being within 8 points of each other, but there can only be one winner, and that person is... JimmyJuicin with a score of 178!

In second was JijGaat, and third was PhRey. The rest can be left wondering how they did ;P

Here's a breakdown of what the judges thought each of you could do better.

Peter W.

- Great orchestration and drum parts

- Not very original, could've been more imaginative

- Balance issues with dynamics/instrumentation

- Fun and bouncy theme, felt like a sports theme

Johnmarinelli

- Boring ostinato

- Creative with the bird sounds

- Terrible sound quality

- Nice way of portraying euphoria with a slower song

- Might not have been made for this competition (though this didn't affect your score)

JeremyL

- Very happy and bouncy

- Some background parts were too distracting

- Flush out your ideas - we'd have loved to see more!

SergeOfArniVillage

- Amazing song, but not very celebratory at all

- Not playable

- Great chords and chord progression especially

PhRey

- The best one as far as euphoricness goes!

- Ending was too sudden

- Great orchestration (as far as ears can tell)

(P.S. what do you mean by you don't know how to read/write music? How did you make this piece)

JijGaat

- Amazing orchestration

- Very nice melodies, one of the favorite pieces

- More cinematic than euphoric for some parts

JimmyJuicin

- The main melody was repeated too much

- Very fun to listen to, great euphoricness

- Great (although stereotypical) orchestration added to euphoricness

Hecklaphone45

- Nice harmonies and orchestration

- Fairly neutral euphoricness

- Too much going on at times

Congratulations to everyone, all the pieces were well done!

Hey Guys,

Congratz to JimmyJuicin :) I am glad I still came in second ^_^.

I too liked most entries, so you all did a great job.

Thanks for the nice competition Impresario.

Greetz

Congratz to JimmyJuicin ! Nice job ! ;) And thank you all (judges and impresario) for this competition !

(P.S. what do you mean by you don't know how to read/write music? How did you make this piece)

... as i do every piece that i compose, with my heart and my head i suppose ?!

(One day if I have time and money I would learn to read and write, and maybe even to lead, I would love that!)

it doesnt cost you any money to learn to read music. And I suppose that since you already make music, it won't take much time either... For you it might be a 30 minutes effort. Just look up the internet, I guess it should be on wikipedia :P
