Flik Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 This is one of those unorganized weeks of chaos, so lets just toss a flikomp in and make it more fun! Compo Date / Time: Tuesday, Nov. 13th @ 9:00 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 sadorf@gmail.com since he's hosting until my server issues are fixed, or uploaded to a server of your choice and the link sent to me or him in a private channel. 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flik Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 I thought the threads kept getting moved here because I WAS posting them in the wrong area. If it's actually ok posting them in general then I'll start posting them there again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I would've made it if it were slightly earlier but 9pm central was about 3am in the morning for me lol. Maybe next time though - especially if I don't have any lectures the next morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
