:-D Is that a threat? You better watch where you lay your instruments! They might end up on a hit list...

A new contender, ey? HRM HRM HRM (evil)

HOBOKA NOOOO, You need to participate so you can be part of the fall of Blue.Nocturne.

ah good good. Well, I hope you create something that you can be proud of.

Oh yeah? You think I'm going to do a happy theme? Think again. My interpretation of this theme is completely opposite. This is my interpretation of the story: It's the future. Our protagonist awakens after 30 years of being in a frozen state. The world as he knew it is now totally destroyed. It is a post apocalyptic time. He runs out of the laboratory to find everyone is like a zombie, no emotions, just walking about. Desparately he finds a coffee house. Ah, something familiar. Shivering from the culture shock, he turns his head and spots a friend who he knew before his 30 years of sleep. Our protagonist curiously scans his face. Could it be? I thought he was dead? No, it can't be him. Our protagonist realizes he's not like the other lifeless people around. He has his emotions intact! Our protagonist then gets the courage to see if it is really him. Rejoice! The end.

Blue.Nocturne, you are now on my hitlist. I'm gonna take you down!

???????????............ I'm going to win next round, don't worry.

Is there still time to vote?!?!?! damnit. Does it end saturday night or what?

I think I'm going to wait for the next CMC, I'm too busy and this one is too far off what I need to practice composing right now.

So I need to have 3 computers connected to the switch, 2 computers connected to the router.

So I bought a workgroup switch. The router goes out to three computers and this switch. The switch goes out to two more computers. That means that virtually 5 computers are connected to the router. One computer lost its connection. Now I'm wondering if the word "SWITCH" indicates that I have purchased the wrong thing. If it is a SWITCH then theoretically it should be SWITCHING which computer gets the 4th connection. Well, the computer that is not connected to the switch is the one that lost connectivity. Does that mean my switch is using two connections and the 3 other computers have to share between the other two connections? Am I having a connectivity problem or is a switch actually supposed to SWITCH?

How would anyone be able to tell if someone copied another tune? Unless someone has basically heard every melody ever created. Oh I see, someone would listen to it before you post the submissions. That still doesn't solve the fact that it's hard to tell.

I think you mean crack-induced composition. You should really watch your drug intake.

When I think of dream, I think of ambient music. I don't think phat beats will work well.

oh my gosh... not again. We have another theme that has no definitive mood, it can basically be anything just like the theme says, "Scenes of flowers and fields, or maybe a foreboding zombie-filled graveyard." It seems like the Conceptual Music Competition never defined what a theme should be. I thought the definition was a theme that explains scenes or actions, but the actual definition of a theme according to the CMC is more of a given idea where the participants can interpret and create their own scenes and actions through the description of their composition when they submit it, and then they compose based on their own ideas, and not exactly the CMC's current theme. It just makes it harder when we aren't limited to specified scenes and actions. I think CMC should adopt a new rule that themes should define a specific mood. For example, the theme could have been "a dream of flowers and fields, period."

This was only my second attempt at all out orchestra. I thought my sample quality would destroy the competition, but I can see why Blue Nocturne would win. MARK MY WORDS!!! I WILL WIN 1ST PLACE NEXT TIME, BLUE NOCTURNE!!!

iww, you're right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO-SifygSJc

alright, my composition is passed on 2:00 mark. It will hopefully bear near 3:00... oh my gosh action music is sooo difficult to compose. I spent hours.....................and hours......

Abadoss, you say that the music has to be created original for the contest in mind, but what if you are creating for the contest in mind AAAND for another reason in mind AT THE SAME EXACT TIME!? What then?

OH GOOD NEWS! I'm not getting a keyboard at all! Lol, CME UF80 won't be available for a long time. I only thought I'd be getting it because these fools at PSSL.com lied to me on two different occasions about it. Anyway, that means I can't wait for a keyboard but I must attempt this CMC.

I'm freekin... divided within myself about doing this. I really want to do it because I think I can win.... But anyway the problem is I really want to compose with a keyboard which is coming soon (possible not in time for the CMC though). I haven't composed with a keyboard for like two years because I've been waiting for the CME UF80 to exist..... soooo hopefully...

ohohohoh.... I am so going to win...

OMG this CMC doesn't want to end!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for the replies. i've just been reading.

I'm wondering because FarCry Crysis requires Vista (dx10) for some multiplayer features and I bet future games will also want to put dx10 to use.. Does Vista still suck? Should I wait another year before using it?
