Bi-Monthly Comps - January theme : Maritime

Guybrush · 09-08-2009, 11:33 AM

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 :

etc.

Send me your stuff!

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?

Guybrush · 09-08-2009, 11:46 AM

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

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?

jackhammer · 09-08-2009, 12:57 PM

Track sent although that only gives a week for the other comp to be guessed?

Zarko · 09-09-2009, 01:39 AM

Gritty/film noir sort of stuff...

Got some possible songs

Bulldog · 09-09-2009, 04:56 AM

I think I've got something that'll do the comp good. PM on the way...

music_phantom13 · 09-09-2009, 10:37 AM

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.

Piss Me Off · 09-09-2009, 10:41 AM

I don't think i have much cyper-punky stuff. I'll have a delve!
