chopin Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The first challenge is to fully orchestrate level 1 from Blaster Master. Remember, these competitions count now! The best version will be played via YC's online radio and people will sit in to listen! All submissions must go here here. Be sure you choose "Competitions: Video Game Orchestration" in the drop down when uploading your submission. Listen to the old tune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Orpheus Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Awesome. When is the due date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopin Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 These are ongoing competitions, but would you say 15 days is reasonable to start asking for submissions? These are shorter tunes, and the purpose of these smaller challenges is to start getting more frequent submissions. We will probably wait until we have at least 3 or 4 submissions before we start judging the works. Since the competition is ongoing, there can be more than one winner if someone down the line composes a brilliant version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crisis_music Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I`m really fascinated by this overall idea of orchestrating old games, 8-bit game orchestration challenge has same effect for me too, at all this idea is so creative, but let me ask some questions for more clarifying, 1.is there any deadline for this challenge or 8-bit challenge too? 2.what should be the output format? finale midis/outputs? vst quality formats? or partitures? i ask it cos i don`t have any music software than finale. 3.what kind of orchestra we should write for? classic orchestra or Big Band..? are all the instruments allowed to be used? thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebhines Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I really like your arrangement, nickstu! I've created my own orchestration for this challenge, but since I'm new around here, I can't quite figure out how I'm supposed to upload it. I can't create a new thread (presumably because I haven't posted enough yet?). Would it be acceptable to post a link in this thread to an mp3 & pdf on a file sharing site (like box.net?) or should I use some built-in account-based uploading?

calebhines Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm going to go ahead and risk posting my version of this theme. Feedback appreciated! BlasterMaster.mp3 BlasterMaster.pdf (score) My score is probably a bit of a mess (especially dynamics) but it should get the point across. I was focusing more on the mp3 rather than the score -- it's not like I expect this to ever get played by an orchestra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
