    Some questions about the submission guidelines

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I don't really understand the arrangement part of the submission policy:

    1. Arrangements in any genre of music (e.g. techno, jazz, rock, classical) are acceptable, so long as the genre itself does not conflict with any other arrangement criteria. 2. The arrangement must be substantial and original.

    • Submissions must be different enough from the source material to clearly illustrate the contributions, modifications, and enhancements you have made. Acceptable arrangement often involves more than one of the following techniques:

    • Modifying the genre, chord progression, instrumentation, rhythms, dynamics, tempo, or overall composition of the source material
    • Adding original solos, transitions, harmonies, counter-melodies, lyrics, or vocals to the source material

    • Taking the original game audio and simply adding drum loops or using an existing MIDI file and assigning new instruments does not qualify as substantial or original arrangement.
    • Submissions should be long enough to convey arrangement; generally, this requires at least two minutes of material.

    3. The source material must be identifiable and dominant.

    • While interpretation and original additions are encouraged, arrangement must not modify the source material beyond recognition.
    • The amount of arranged source material must be substantial enough to be recognized.

    is there anything else besides just taking a midi and modifying it and just having nothing but beeps and blips that will not qualify as music?

    please help because i don't really understand this part of the rules.
