The inaugural round of the barryvan compo is now open. (BTW, if you can think of a better name, I'm listening!)
What is the barryvan compo?
It's a is a six-times-yearly competition in which artists compete to produce a piece based on a given "inspiration". Contestants can enter songs in MP3, OGG, or WMA formats. You've got until February 1st to write a piece of music based on the inspiration that's on the front page.
What's the inspiration?
For this first round, I've chosen Edward Lear's poem "The Jumblies". It should have plenty in it for inspiration.
What's the motivation?
Fun and/or profit. No prizes, but bragging rights...
How do I enter?
Simply head over to the website (http://test.pbc.wa.edu.au/compo)! Alternatively, you can access it through www.barryvan.com.au (http://www.barryvan.com.au).
I like the idea to base a compo around a poem. I don't think I've heard anything quite like it. :)
so it's every two months, not every 6 years right? :?
Yes. Sorry! I've fixed up the text on the front page of the compo site, so it now says "six-times-yearly". =D
when's the deadline?
The deadline is the 1st of February, 2008. I'll go and make that more obvious on the front page of the compo site. =D Can I hope to see something from you?
yes indeed-y. (i've done 1 whole pattern already!)
i love compos, it's nice to have something to work towards
Excellent! :D I look forward to it.
I look forward to it as well. You'll certainly have me as a voter.
Thanks Novus!
Cool! You have another participant then! :twisted:
Already got some ideas, finally there's an opportunity to TRACK THEM UP :)
Great! I look forward to hearing your entry, Nahkranoth!
There are now only three days before entries close for the inaugural round of the barryvan compo (http://test.pbc.wa.edu.au/compo/)! Remember, the theme for this round is Edward Lear's nonsense poem "The Jumblies". Get your entries in by midnight on the 31st of January!
Only one day to go! Come on, I've only got one entry so far... Please! :)
I can't finish this damn track in time!!! ARGH!!!
Already got half of it, but I will not make it before the deadline :evil:
Sorry barryvan, my bad. Should have started 2 weeks earlier :(
But thanks for the inspiration anyway. I had not have one for nearly a year :wink:
-=-=-
Forgive me my bad English
Because of the lack of entries, and people telling me that they've almost finished, I've pushed the deadline back by seven days. The new deadline is February 7th, 11.59pm.
Come on, I need entries! :D
Enter Now! (http://test.pbc.wa.edu.au/compo/)
Thanks! You're my savior :D
