Brandon Strader Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) MAGFest is over and everybody is worn out, sad, and getting sick. This month's DoD theme is Brevity Month. You can pick any source but your cover has to be under 60 seconds. So make it quick guys. The banner might appear later. Songs are due: JANUARY 26th, 10PM ET Send your entries to dodsongs@gmail.com If you don't know what DoD is, well where have you been!? http://dwellingofduels.net/ My personal advice is to chop out the 1 minute of awesomeness from your full remix and submit that to DoD, then submit the entire song to OCR. Who writes 1 minute worth of song, really? Nothin' says you can't write a full song then just feature the best part in this DoD month. Good luck, friends!

Who writes 1 minute worth of song, really? Nothin' says you can't write a full song then just feature the best part in this DoD month. Good luck, friends! I already made a whole song with verses and choruses and bridges and solos and it fit under one minute. So it's definitely possible. I don't like the idea of cutting parts of longer songs because the goal here is to see if you are able to write something coherent that's under a minute long. But well, if you're not creative enough to do it that way, sure, cut a part of a longer song and submit it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 It's not about not being creative enough. Who wants to write songs that are 1 minute long other than Protodome? That's his thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Perhaps I do. I've done before, but I'm set to embrace the challenge of working with something as small as 1.I don't care about rank this time - I never took part in the DoD last year, and this is the way to get re-involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Interesting. I like that concept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnWake Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Haha this seems like a nice chance to remix a short jingle (you know, like game over tunes or something)- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katajun Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Haha this seems like a nice chance to remix a short jingle (you know, like game over tunes or something)- Or to see how many different songs you can fit into one minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with DoD's level of quality right now. At least wait for the website to be put back up maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
