Bi-Monthly Comps - January theme : Maritime
January Bi-Monthly Upcoming Theme Is : Maritime Send up to two tracks to : toretorden Deadline : 15th of January, 2010 Maritime theme came out with the second highest score twice but has lost to Horror and then Night Driving .. But now it's time! Imagine fishermen out in the stormy seas, 19th century whalers harpooning greenland whales in the arctic, Pirates of the Caribbean and elsewhere, Fishing trips with warm coffee, mythical sea creatures like The Kraken .. Or you could find inspiration from the numerous seaside cultures of the world like the norwegian south where I'm from. Just how you want to relate your song to the sea is up to you. Maybe you wanna submit an old shanty or maybe you wanna find something a little more fresh. Either way, I think it's a brilliant theme and I hope you guys find it inspiring as well. Because I initially recieved so few submissions for last comp, I'll allow for two entries this time. Here's some inspiration : http://nsf.gov/news/mmg/media/images/kraken2_h.jpg http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2...-CK-B-001-.jpg http://www.mylearning.org/learning/v...20in%20ice.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1054/...05a8f18e02.jpg etc. Send me your stuff! |
Earlier Bi-Monthlys :

I like these themed compilations, far more thought put into the choices rather just what you think sounds cool. Now just for clarification the genre won't just consist of "punk" but anything that's along those lines right? Kind of a stupid question but you see I've got this friend and well you know how these things are...
Should next month's be Steam Punk? :laughing: |
When I think of cyberpunk, I don't think so much of "punk" as in the genre of music, but more futuristic and gritty. I think of metropolises and cybernetics, information theft and pollution and society losing moral values. Throw in a bit of action, fancy guns and hackers. I'm gonna pick something along those lines :p:
I've got a million ideas for the next comp's theme and hopefully it'll be something people find interesting. :) |
Sounds like fun! And yeah I don't think of any specific genre of music, just the subject matter of the song. Right?
|
Track sent although that only gives a week for the other comp to be guessed?
|
Gritty/film noir sort of stuff...
Got some possible songs :) |
I think I've got something that'll do the comp good. PM on the way...
|
I'm really looking forward to this, but I have too many perfect songs. I can think of one that I bet multiple people will submit.
|
I don't think i have much cyper-punky stuff. I'll have a delve!

For those struggling to think of something to fit, as Zarko posted, film noir could be an angle. Night, city lights, rain in the gutter kind of things for example. As most of you know, the Blade Runner soundtrack is done by Vangelis and it fits perfectly with the imagery like cars flying over the dark, futuristic Los Angeles.
|
I'm sure I will find something, I haven't bothered to look through my collection yet, I've only manged to think about it. ;) I have plenty of dark music and industrial, there's bound to be something in there.
|
kewl, I think I got an idea for a track :)
|
Okay, tomorrow is the last day open for entries so don't forget it you who haven't contributed with anything yet!
So far I have seven plus my own :) |
NOOO I forgot to PM you mine. Coming after work.
|
I'll get working on this.
|
I've only spent a bit of time looking through my music for an appropriate song, haven't found anything ideal yet. Guess I better do that tonight!
|
Well I made a comp but any upload site is just not working for me tonight.

You should wait like 20 minutes... I'm having an external hard drive error.

Alright, september cyberpunk comp is now closed!
I'll make a separate thread for the comp when it's up sometime tomorrow evening most likely and then I'll update this thread with a new theme sometime next month .. .. which will be something completely different! |
The comp is up!
http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...er-2009-a.html For tidyness, I'll unstick this until the next theme is announced. |
Theme for October announced!
Medieval You can take your inspiration from anything whether it be folklore or historical events or whatever - as long as it relates to the overall theme. Hope you like it! |
lol, i have some ideas for this actually but they're all on my absent ext. hard drive =/
what's that picture third from bottom, the lady in the lake? the wickerman has some hilariously inappropriate, psychedelic guitar instrumental passages (the brief cave chase sequence) that i would contribute if i bloody had it |

Will try to avoid the extremely obvious choice :p:

I meant obvious choices from me (See blue sig link)

^Ah gotcha :p:
Alright, because I think people might find it a little more fun if they can help determine what the themes should be, I've made a poll for next month's theme. If you want to suggest themes, fire away! All I ask is that your suggestion is something that works well as a theme - it could both have a lyrical and musical approach. The theme should conjure some ideas in people's heads. I think the ones I've listed in the poll above do so (most of them at least) and you can go with multiple poll options! |
Not drugs or sex people, I can here that by turning on the radio, I'd much rather have a more interesting theme such as Vampires, or D&D.
|
I'm hoping for horror or maritime.
|
Maritime would be my personal pick out of these and it's nice to see it's gotten 6 votes at this point although horror is leading with a staggering 12!
Don't forget about this month's medieval theme in all the votage going on! |
For once I'm going to duck out of the bi-monthly. I can't really get the right track apart from obvious choices :(
