Guest Anders Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Welcome to the duet competition! For this competition you will use two instruments of whatever type you choose to write music in whatever style you choose! The pieces will be judged by a panel of volunteer YC members. If you want to participate, please post in this thread and I will add you to the list. Similarly, if you want to be a judge, you should also post in this thread. You need to have some experience and be confident in your abilities as a composer to be a judge. There are no requirements whatsoever for being a participant, but composers are preferred....;) THE ENSEMBLE: Two instruments of any kind. THE DEADLINE: 23:59 EST JULY 31 A NOTE: Composers must submit NEW MUSIC ONLY. You can expand on existing works/sketches, but the piece should consist of at least 50% new material. SUBMISSIONS: Submit your piece here when you are ready to do so. PARTICIPANTS (FULL!)

bob_the_sane Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I'll give it a go...although I did promise Marius I'd work on my lesson... I'll try and fit both in...
The Hourglass Mind Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 I'm in, though the timeframe will be a chalenge for me.
Guest Anders Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Whoa, I'm delighted to see so much interest! ;) I've added all of you.
SineQuaNon Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I'd gladly judge if I can get online, I've heard rumors that I'll have wifi where I'm goin' until August 11th so we'll see if they're true. :D
SineQuaNon Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Immortal red text no? (by the way, a cookie would be much appreciated)
rolifer Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I'm in so sign me up. What kind of length are we looking at and do armpits count as an instument? Sorry that just popped into my head..... But do they?
Guest Anders Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Of course they do. :D There are no guidelines on length - go crazy.
Wendell.R.F.93 Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I think ill try this competition. Havent ever made a duet, but i have made lots of other works... so Ill give this a go.
Mark Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I'm in. Can one be a harmonic instrument or does it have to be two monophonic instruments?
Mark Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Awesome. Bring on the "Duet for Anvil and Steam Engine"
Guest CreationArtist Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 in whatever style you choose I'm guessing originality isn't a judging criterion?
Guest Anders Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 The judging criterion will consist mainly of how well you manage to use the two instruments - is it idiomatic? Do the two instruments interact imaginatively? etc..
RavingSpleen Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I would like to participate, providing there are enough spots available.
SineQuaNon Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I think originality could be part of the criteria, it's possible to be original even within a style. There's a difference between emulating a style with original ideas and then just copying a style by copying ideas.
Guest Anders Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 If you have any suggestions for judging criteria, I'd be happy to see them. PM them to me, pretty please. :P
matt.kaner Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 I'd be happy to judge if you can put up with me.
