Here's my entry. That MIDI electric guitar sound I used sounds horrible :P EDIT: I mixed it again. The piano was far too loud and some stuff was bit too silent. |

You've already finished yours?! I need to work faster! I have no idea when the deadline is, so that makes me worry all the time lol. I've been having a few audio problems which annoy me and slow my work process, too. Must work faster despite that!

Hmm I'm going to have to put more effort into this myself as well, silly Steam sale practically forced me to buy 16 games and now I'm playing through them all >< Well guess I gotta put them on hold for a bit lol |
I'll make the deadline August

I'll make the deadline August 10th. Should be plenty of time to finish the entries. I don't listen to any entries either until the voting period to keep it as fair as possible. |
Ohh man I don't have any
BrodyLocation: Germany Joined: Feb 24 2013 |
Ohh man I don't have any inspiration yet for a battle theme. hope it comes in the next days :D |
When no inspiration hits...
DanteUruzuSIr Dante Uruzu Joined: May 11 2010 |
Sometimes if no ideas or inspiration comes to you something you can do is just play around on an instrument and try to come up with something that sounds nice and go from there. Or take a walk. Or perhaps put yourself in a situation that fits with the piece you want to compose. Like...this contest theme is for a battle. Perhaps imagine yourself with 3 (or more/less...or none!) other party members about to fight either a boss or just some mobs that appear while trying to get to your destination. Or something like that lol.

Brody, I also put the first
jitJoined: Mar 04 2009 |
Brody, I also put the first competition in for a reason. You can listen to those entries to find some new ideas or whatever. Here's a few from the first battle contest: auriplane - http://www.auriplane.net/shellbreaker.mp3 - Pretty sure she used Logic Pro StrangeJam - http://www.gametabs.net/files/user/StrangeJam/BattleThemeMinute.mid - Surprised he didnt make a live entry but pretty sure this was done in GP5 GrimacingGrimoire- http://www.gametabs.net/files/user/GrimacingGrimoire/bt%20real%20font.mp3 - I'm gonna guess GP5 but not sure SalemJeanette - http://www.gametabs.net/files/user/SalemJeanette/owo.mp3 -No clue but I really liked this one a lot jit - http://www.gametabs.net/files/user/jit/boss3o.mp3 - I used FL Studios for this one There are a few more too. If this doesn't help, just play video games or listen to stuff on youtube. |

Entry!
DanteUruzuSIr Dante Uruzu Joined: May 11 2010 |
Alright, here is my entry. This one is meant to be an interactive-ish kind of battle. Or maybe a cinematic battle. You decide which it fits best lol. I actually want to do some more with this, so I will sometime in the future. Anyway, enough rambling! Showdown! Measures 5-8: Battle Positions Measures 9-15: Hesitant fighting; trying to reason Measures 16-24: Semi-serious fighting Measures 25-26: Paralyzing blow to the enemy Measures 26-28: Dialogue after the paralyzing blow; trying to reason with the enemy Measures 29-32: Enemy Prepares for Counterattack... Measures 33-39: Enemy Counterattack! Measures 40-45: Heroes lose the battle...

brody you my new favorite musician. i knew it would be good cos i'd recently downloaded the eternal gartenzwerg. bigger but...t: i havent been here since 2011 and havent been in a tune contest since 2010. so grain of salt that comment. plus i suck sooo dump the whole shaker. i am working on something now, since i kicked myself for not getting in on #8 thanks to work or something, and when i popped in to see the theme i was all "THE GODS HATH ALIGNED!" totally the name of my song

never seen that word before, first feeling that pooped in my head about it was that germanic gods were making you work, via their hammers and lightning. best flow fo this i can consciously figure is volentold >> volendrung >> gotterdammerung urbandictionary severely disappointed me. and i severely dissapoint myself with my lack of eddic knowledge since googlarking about i found a better connection from the poetic eddas, the story of volundr, who got volentold to go forge shit for some bitch-king, by being hamstrung and stuck on an island. damnit now i'm listening to bathory instead of finishing up on my track. focus! i'm'a shut up now edit: kick out the jam

Nice words Xuwawa, thank you

Nice words Xuwawa and BigHeadClan, thank you :) I think your right Xuwawa, it's not like an classical battle theme but sadly it was the only inspiration I had this time ;) |
I'll listen to all of them in
jitJoined: Mar 04 2009 |

Basisti94 Live Thoughts: I
jitJoined: Mar 04 2009 |
Basisti94 ------------------------- The entries I really liked were actually Bassisti's, BHC's and DU's tracks. I actually pictured battling whether it be from a gaming scenario or a cinematic one. It was already tough to take out Brody. Ugghhh this sucks. No disrespect to the others and the effort each of you put out but the winner I choose is this guy with a marginal(and I mean I had to listen to these two like 8 times each finally decide) over this guy. Can't wait for the the next one guys. Good job everyone! |

Haha your the 2nd person to tell me it sounds like FF8, which is amusing because I've only played the game for about 3 hours and don't have any of the OST. Grants Dante |
Wha... XD

I dunno what to say... XD I enjoyed your thoughts, jit. :D I can say that I was kinda hoping not to win lol. I didn't think I would after listening to some of the other entries. I listened to my piece so many times while composing it that I got so used to it and it didn't seem so good. I kinda got tired of it too lol. 'Specially with the problems that I ran into XD. Hmmm... I don't know what to do now xD

congrats dan ftw and thanks all for the good tunes! Hash's instrument choices were pretty cool and well used, liked the lead in the first part, loved the change at 1:04, i'd meant to do something like this with mine(a complete change makes for better loopy) but hell if i wasn't just trying to get it done. Bi Ghea D'Clan had a basic rock line i liked, especially when the lead riffed out over it at :35, love how it dropped for the evil bit around :50 and came back with the lead riff. Br. Ody... done tolt you, but damn that's some good heavy-chippy-eclectictronica. Basist I-94, love how it seems to play around with a theme through most, when the piano comes in at :43 it's beatiful, love its run down to the bass, bass breakdown around :55 was very well done and with it and the guitar made the "main theme's" return about 1:15 very welcome. a very full song in the best way. Dan, or should i say DAMN, very shredtastic, love the minimalish intro bit and when it drops back thar at :46. from 1:00 on, this is the art - to shred - it's only emotiooooAAAHN! who wah wah, you're a pretty cool guy who uses old memes and doesn't afraid of anything, but your ending on the lead part seems rushed and tacked on, maybe because i rushed and tacked it on. But who knows the mysteries of yore. Afore the fray, we die today; to fall on swords or drown in fjords; but twist in fate, alas! Wod's gate! thanks jit for the cool contest and kind words. and NO thanks for getting calliope stuck in my head... meh, it's just too easy to do. BigHeadClan said
at first i assumed you meant my song, and i was all "woooooooooooooooooo!!!"

This is a revisit of an old theme done. I think that contest was probably one of the most active contest we had with the amount of people that joined.
Tune Contest #8 - Battle Theme
We're using the same theme so the same rules apply. Post entries here and hopefully we get a a lot.
Due Date: AUGUST 10TH
