Working on my entry now

And done  I did Iron Blue Intention, would've added a track sooner but was stumped.  I had just done this track for my game and while i was listening to it i thought it would be a good choice for the contest, watered down with acoustics of course lol.  Also, sorry folks but it's got some distorted guitars and a solo in there, can't help it lol.  But all in all i think it's a good fit for this month's compo  :

I...personally don't really know if this would count as "easy listening", but then again I don't really have much frame of reference for what constitutes easy listening music. Sounds plenty heroic though.

Have you heard from Raymond Lefèvre or Paul Mauriat? they're the most notable artists from that genre

[VladCT]

No, but after listening to your entry, I think I get it now.

I'm quite grateful since the track works as intended.

Time to vote guys!

[Shiroi Koumori]

Congrats to the winners!!

1st place: aensland
2nd place: BMC_War Machine

Got any ideas for the next music contest, aensland?

[aensland]

Thank you!
For the next contest, probably something more broad and less specialized could work, like arranging a song from Castlevania Bloodlines in any style to commemorate the finding of that prototype room

[Shiroi Koumori]

Excellent!

New contest page for this month is up!
