So since MFGG has not had any music competitions for quite a while, I, with full approval from Guinea, decided that it's time for another one. The theme for this comp is: are you ready? [size=150][b]Darkness[/b][/size] Your objective for this comp is to compose a piece that evokes some sort of darkness, depression, or gloom. It can be a totally original piece or a remix of an actual Mario theme. Some examples of "dark" themes include the famous underground theme from the Super Mario games. You can also do Koopa's Road from Super Mario 64 (or Star Reactor/Lava Lair from the Galaxy games). Or even some variation of Bowser's Castle! Deadline is a week from now, [u][b]Monday November 14th[/b][/u]. Go!

I've always wanted to enter the music competitions but my ability to compose music is pretty low. :/ I'll still attempt anyway however. :)

I might enter, depending on whether or not I can come up with anything good.

I got some skills on music, but what program do you make musics? (No Midis please)

I thought I'll have a try to see what I can do. But as I'm unable to compose anything new, I took the Koopa Road music from SM64, edited and adjusted it with stuff, and added a little bonus at the end, and I came up with this - it may not be a contest winner, but for a first foray into mixing and remixing, [url=http://midishrine.com/midi/43909.mid]The Koopa's Message[/url] is a good experiment to test out the waters.

I need a theme for a very dark level in an indie RPG I might make next year, so count me in!

My plans changed, so I won't be able to enter now.

Unless someone posts an entry soon, I may end up being the only entrant, and, therefore, automatically the winner. But I would rather not have that.

I didn't even notice this until now. I might try to whip something up today.

Good question. I could ask the same question from you, though.

To be honest, I thought both themes were fine. Ah's was Koopa's Road, which was something I suggested from the beginning in the theme. It seemed to have a very dark and gloomy tone. Roo's, like Alex said, felt like it could be something that came out of a dark cave or a spooky mansion, and also had a deep and depressing tone. That's just me though.

I guess we should let the voters handle this.

[quote="Roo"]I guess we should let the voters handle this.[/quote] Indeed. But, as the first post was made late on last Monday, I think there may be a bit longer until voting starts.

I've got something cooking. http://www.box.net/s/qpt2kr5auzjellmifmpl

...and now I'm regretting my last statement, as Tobie's work is not too bad. Kinda short, though.

I'm experimenting with a few different things. I'm shooting for a more ambient sound, sort of like you'd find in a Zelda dungeon. Idk, it's not finished at all but I probably won't be able to get around to wrapping it up in time anyways.
