Default Upcoming April Theme Comp : Weird & Bizarre

April Bi-Monthly Upcoming Theme Is : Weird & Bizarre!

Send up to two tracks to : toretorden


Deadline : 15th of April



So, the upcoming theme as voted forth by you guys is weird. I've taken the freedom to add bizarre as well. So, what is Weird & Bizarre? Here's what Merriam Webster has to say :

: strikingly out of the ordinary: as a : odd, extravagant, or eccentric in style or mode b : involving sensational contrasts or incongruities
So, something strange, extravagant, out of the ordinairy, eccentric, fantastic, supernatural, odd, magical, disconcertingly different or perhaps eerie. Because many things can be weird or bizarre, this theme is less fixed than most previous ones.

I don't think I'll add the typical examples to inspire (though go ahead if you want). This one is all up to you Remember you can submit two tracks and let's make it a good one!
