Another early evening edition, but at least it's something!

Compo Date / Time: Wednesday, Nov. 7th @ 6:00 PM Central.

This is a music compo that has no direction other than to give people the motivation to just MAKE something (something I have a problem with all the

time). Instead of there being a theme of any sort that may cause someone to turn away because they don't feel they can make something in a certain style,

they can just make whatever they want. I encourage original music in this.

Flikomp sessions last an hour and fifteen minutes. You'll have an hour to put something together, and 15 minutes or so to do any quick cleanup and effect work and such that you couldn't do in the hour of creation time.

We will meet in #flikomp on the EnterTheGame IRC server.

Don't worry. This isn't some competition or anything. This is purely a way to motivate people who have difficulty coming up with music to make something. Anyone can join in.

You may use whatever tools you normally use to make your music, just as long as you can make an MP3 out of it in the end so everyone can listen. When you make your MP3, it can be e-mailed to flikomp@gmail.com (unless stated to send it elsewhere), or uploaded to a server of your choice and the link sent to me.

Name your file "yournickname - Flikomp# - yoursongname.mp3" so we can keep

these organized. Once received I will put everything into a RAR file and upload it to my server for all to download. If you have dialup this could be a problem, but we'll do what we can. There will be a half hour break from when I get the RAR file uploaded so everyone can download it, and yes I will try and make individual files available in a public directory if possible.

DIALUP USERS

There's the obvious issue of upload and download time with MP3's. To make things SLIGHTLY smoother, please don't encode your MP3's beyond 128k (this applies to everyone actually). And since both the .RAR file and individual tracks are made available, it would probably be best to start downloading one track at a time so we can all start listening in a decent amount of time. I'd rather everyone have all the tracks when we listen, but we can't wait for hours if there's a lot of entries. Sorry :(

Flikomp is all about fun. Don't fret if you think your original tune sucks. This compo is so you can make stuff and in turn get better!

Hope to see you there, and happy music making!
