I'm gonna keep this brief and anti-extravagant. No giant letters, welcome paragraphs or bullet point lists today I'm afraid.

This Music Comp's theme is In The Style Of! Since that probably doesn't say much, let me elaborate. Remember the last competition's theme? Make a Mario Maker-esque song of a level theme for a game that didn't already have that level style in it? Well I'm taking that and taking it up a notch... as well as inverting it, sort of. You're tasked with taking an existing song and making it into the style of something else.

Here's the catch: it has to be either a real life song (i.e. what most people define as recreational music, bands, musicians, that sorta thing) in the style of a certain video game's soundtrack, or a video game song in the style of a conventional band or artist. The correlation has to be blatant - that is to say, you can't just take a MIDI of either and slap on some vaguely sounding instruments that may or may not be in the style of whichever direction you're going in. You have to rearrange, and as far as how much... well, it's a judgement call with each entry that I guess I'll be in charge of keeping an eye on, but as long as there's something noticeably unique about the arrangement you should be in the clear.

"BUT VIETNAM", you may shout from the heavens above, "WHAT IF I DON'T LISTEN TO REEEEAL MUSIC LIKE SOME KINDA NORMIE?". Well... uh, don't enter, I guess? Or go find any old band and study a song or two of theirs real quick and do that. It doesn't have to sound like the entirety of their discography put together, for the record. It can take inspiration from a specific song or album of theirs. It can be anything, from doing Bohemian Rhapsody in the style of the Mega Man X soundtrack, or maybe the LTTP Dark World dungeon theme in the style of Pink Floyd. Of course, those are two classic rock-y examples, but what can I say? I happen to fancy prog rock and its ilk, so have at it! You can do anything you want, of course.

Now be gone. I realized this was the exact opposite of "brief" but I wound up having to explain the concept since it's a bit of a unique one I suppose! Your deadline is exactly two weeks from now, on July 7th, so be there and be ready by then! Now have at it, and make your favourite music song things proud!

Nevermind, I won't make an anime song. It'll be something more challenging to make!

EDIT: I've changed my mind

I've got an idea for this...
Was gonna do Duke Nukem's Grabbag, but instead I'll rip this off instead: :cool:

But then I realized we're not making blatant ripoff versions of songs, but covers in a different style...
Oh I know, "Lance Inc:"

Although I'm not really feeling it right now tbh.

I've found a new method that will make things much easier for me. I bet I'll make something super brilliant! Look forward to it!

Interesting theme! I won't enter because I suck at music, but I'm excited to see what people come up with :D

I made a Pokemon BW 2 version of this song. Gosh, this was hard as hell. I had to use 8 instruments and took me a few hours to make, so hope you can appreciate it.

(Note, I used Pokemon BW 2 soundfonts so it fits the theme)

Also note that I had to make it somewhat messy to avoid making it sound so empty. I did that on purpose, and I think it was the best thing to do.

Should I remake my entry? I just realized I could get rid of the mess if I decrease the volume of other channels, but is that necessary? Just wondering.

Please let me know, it's important for me.

Would it be possible to just tweak what you already have, or do you have to remake the entire thing? Right now it does sound a little hectic xD

We all live in a Yellow Submarine...that is, when you're playing Super Mario Bros.!

I may expand/improve on this later, but this is good enough for me for now.

Unfortunately I don't have the full version of FL Studio so I can't open project files, so I have to remake the whole thing. Do you think it would be okay to just decrease the volume in some instruments?

Um, Vitiman, isn't this supposed to be named as the third Music Competition of 2016 instead of the second one of 2016 (since there is already one)? Anyway, I think I'll vote for Friendly Dictator.

Ack, you're right. What's particularly embarrassing is I went out of my way to check what number the last one was, and then apparently typed in the wrong number anyways and nobody noticed until now. Goes to show you how much most people pay attention, eh? :P

I'm gonna vote Friendly Dictator.
