I'll just leave it there, being suitably ambiguous
If anyone fancies a crack - here's what it's all about (taken & tweaked from Gravy's original post aaaages ago)
Welcome to the Yak Yak Song Competition!
Your mission, if you choose accept it, is to write some music that will fit into the theme of CONTRASTS by April 23rd
What do you mean by 'some music'?
Well anything from a parpy loop to a full blown symphony. It's up to you.
How do I write a song about Contrasts?
Again, it's up to you. There isn't a wrong or right way to do this and the theme is purposedly vague to give your imagination space to soar.
I don't have to write any of that electronic crash, bang, wallop music that seems so popular around here do I?
Not at all. There's a load of electronic music becuase it's relatively easy to make but that doesn't mean you have to. The more variety the better.
How do I win?
By taking part! The competition is a bit tongue in cheek, it's the journey that counts. There will be a vote at the end of the month to decide who's won. But it's worth stressing the aim is for people to participate and enjoy the process.
Well I'm definitely going to win, what do I get?
As the 'winner' you will get the honour of choosing next month's theme.
Can I do a cover?
Yes! Though it's worth noting a straight note for note copy of someone else's work wouldn't be quite in line with the spirit of what we're trying here. If you really feel a cover is the way to go for you then that's cool but have a think about what unique thing you could bring to it rather than aping what's already gone before.
How do I share my tune?
You'll need to upload it to a hosting service. Soundcloud is pretty good and there's quite a few of us on there already. Shout if you need some help.
When do I have to get this done by?
April 23rd. Or thereabouts to leave a week for voting....
Can I share work in progress?
Please do! Post what you want into this thread for discussion and comment.
How many entries can I have?
Just the one.
But how will you know which one I've entered?
Unless otherwise specified before the closing date your last post with a link to your music will be assumed to be your entry
