Won't let my buddy BMC enter alone! :)

Here's my entry: RISE AGAIN (Awake from Circle of the Moon) (http://www.mediafire.com/listen/9mequf2m64qlhd2/Chernabogue_-_Rise_Again.mp3). It's far from being my best, as my free time is currently reduced by real life and VV3. :P

And.... it's a tie!
Congrats to you both.

If ever anyone of you wants to still continue this contest next month, please post the theme for next month.
If you want to take a break, it's ok too.

It's up to you Chernabogue, we take a break or continue on?  Another thing to consider to maybe try to get more involvement is let the people decide the theme.  What do you think?

Nice job guys.

I have a theme for you.

Choose any Castlevania song and record it with your own acoustic instruments. Acoustic guitars, drums, strings, ect.

Instruments can be sampled and or performed and effects can be used but the source of all sounds must be acoustic from your own microphones. Think of the possibilities!

In other words... No pre existing sound packs or instruments that require electricity are allowed.

This is fun and always turns out very unique when the rules are followed.

I'd definitely be out by default lol. Believe it or not, and for someone who plays and records hard rock/metal, I dont have an acoustic  :'( although I do like the idea though!

Mic your electric guitar without an amp. I've done that before! It actually can sound really cool.

Also, all types of things can become instruments. The idea is to promote creativity through limitations. It's a good song writing exercise!

But hey, you guys don't have to go along with this. It's just a suggestion.

Perhaps a simpler suggestion would be to make a solo piano piece? Just piano, performed or programmed.

 8) lol ah, i remember those days!  I can't tell you how many times as a teenager i would throw a mic in front of my guitar just to make sure i didn't forget a tune the next day lol.  I'm open for whatever Chern wants to do.  I like both suggestions you mentioned dude, either one would be cool idea  ;D

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread until any of you decide on what to do.
All of the suggestions are cool and the contest can be for 2 months if you want.

What do you guys think about this; make an all original song with orchestra only, a boss theme.  Objections?  8)

Not having a constant access to the Internet for the next month and a half, plus all the projects I have to work on, I'm out. Sorry!

I suggest we all return to the contests after a break of a couple of months.
Plus it's summer for those living in the Northern Hemisphere. Enjoy the sun with your kiddies. :)

That beats out my suggestions for sure.
