Hello everyone! smile

I have an idea, but since I'm new to this place I'm probably not the first one with this idea...or an idea similar to mine.

Anyway...

I'm looking for people who like to make chipmusic for the fun of it.

What do you say we start a "collaboration" where we once in a while post a theme and then each of us make a song based on this theme?! For example...medieval, dubstep, only three sounds playing at once, time limit (48 hours), song length (1 minute),happy or sad, music fitted for a space game, action game or platformer, titlescreen/loading screen/hi-score, a remix of a specific song...whatever that sounds fun and challenging. These are just a few suggestions.

The songs should be created specifically for this...in other words no old songs that you have lying around.

If you are interested, help me make the "rules", since I want you guys involved.

The purpose of this is to create and be able to listen to some great new tracks, challenge ourselves and have fun.

This might also be a good way to listen to several songs and maybe make out the essence in a particular style. "Why does her song sound better than mine?" Hell, we might even learn something from it. smile

What do you think? Are you in?

I'd say this is what the BotB is good for.

Thanx for the tip Shiru. I'll check it out. smile

Maybe someone is interested to do it also on this page...but not as a battle?!

they call them battles, but the competitive attitude is non-existent. Botb is a magical place, where everyone can be a loser. XD    Either way though I'm down.

I'd fit right in then. wink

I had a look at Botb. It seemed massive. I didn't really know where to begin. smile I guess I just have to give it more time. Maybe I should start a theme there then?!

Everyone is able to start a "battle" and have others join it, right?!

well, you have to have a certain amount of b00ns to start one, which you can earn through taking part in other battles.

yeah if someone wants to organize something with all the rules / ideas i came up with it's fine, but i really don't feel like organizing another one.
