yep! "chipmusic.org" sponsored events would grab the imagination of what's a rather large group of people~ and it certainly doesn't have to be competitive or privileged to certain styles of music, it can very easily be a write along where people can listen to and enjoy everyone's music as a community

It's a lot less interesting than you'd think. I'm only working there temporarily, and I have shorter hours than everyone else, they have 8:00am -5:00pm whereas I have 9:30am - 3:30pm. If it's a slow day, and only 120 or so people come, then it is mind numbingly boring. You walk around in one gallery for around 3 hours, get a 30 min break, and back to the same gallery, if you're lucky a different one. I mean it's nice at first, you get to enjoy what's there, but it gets old really quickly, and after a few days, you really start to get sick of seeing the same things over and over again.
ahaaa...! yes that might be really frustrating haha
there is a big ugly plastic verdigrissy-coloured pyramid looking thing in my city called "Urbis" which is kinda meant to be like a museum only half of the thing is completely empty haha... i think they had an exhibit on anime once
welcome to the thread, timbob! what's on your mind :]

I always thought it'd be neat to open a museum of video games and home computing someday. I guess that's not completely off the table yet.
yes!
it'd be really cool for someone to just have a museum/art gallery in like their house i think haha, i have no idea why but it just seems like a really interesting concept to me
you could have different parts of the exhibit upstairs... in your garage... (i need to stop before i start thinking about how to turn my house into an art gallery @_@)

I love that chipmusic.org doesn't get involved in these things officially because I don't want it to be defined by anything other than the tools we all use to make music. The total lack of an officially recognised competition winning track, or event featuring a few of the hundreds/thousands of artists here makes it apparent that all people and styles are welcomed here, and no-one is officially better than anyone else in the eyes of "chipmusic.org". Isn't that something you want to protect?
it's something that happens regardless~ certain users and songs on the "latest music" page get more activity than others and it's shown publicly so there is far from an equal footing in terms of musical perception here
on the compo side of things i want to stress that these things are rarely seen (or at the very least not always seen) as ways to establish "better" or "worse" musicians than they are as a simple excuse to get people involved in writing music together and having their songs enjoyed by others as a community; perhaps monthly/seasonal chipmusic.org "write-a-longs" with synclistens and no overall vote/rank system would be more agreeable?
