Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC066 February 2023 - preparation phase

Hi, great to participate again in this challenge. It's a rich experience for improvements and also listening with attention to new songs. Personally, I was getting very distracted from music composition and even if I'm always trying to participate, sometimes I don't get to finish a track and sometim...

Hello everybody, I'm coming back to complete 10 at least. I just finished this track in two days. It has infinite ways it can be better, but as an exercise to deal with my false perfectionism, here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7rmae5dfi61qjz3/SWC066_canese_cannot%20do%20worse.wav?dl=0 Beat made ...

Hi guys, thank you for your awesome feedback. Here's mine for you, hope I see you in the coming months. Arelem "A Game Of Fates" Very well crafted guitars. I love the shredd. The monthly theme is nailed. Only remark is the flatness, all the instruments are playing as loud as they can and t...

I'm updating my entry for this month's challenge: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hgpCTZ2hZcUZpTiBspP4528KKQRmgVTn/view?usp=sharing For me, this track represents a hand-drawn/pixel art steampunk video game. It was tough to nail down this premise. I've come across many ideas and finally decided to w...

Technically, the most work could be put into Option 3. This one sounds a bit dull and lifeless in places. So maybe a bit more reverb on the strings, more "punch" and focus on the percussion work. Lift the veil, so to speak The curious thing is, this option was the one I worked the most. I...

Hello boys and girls, I've been waiting for this kind of swc for so long. I love the game and role play as a customer. Taking that as a premise, what I would do in a situation where the client is unsure what he wants is to provide 3 different examples and let him choose which ones he prefers. So, he...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - What theme / genre would you like to see next?

I'd like to see composing for a video. Maybe a given scene from a movie or short film, maybe a youtubevideo or commercial.
And make the competition as if you are a client that wants a song composed for the image and perfectly sync with the video given.
