November KVR Cafe Contest

Post by folderol »

For this month a German children's song is the theme. You're given a recording of the original and a MIDI file of it. The challenge is to expand on this in your own way. There's still time to join, and we need plenty of entries to ensure the contest continues.
Mine is here :)

During the first 18 seconds I didn't know what to think of it. After that the sound improves immensely though. Well done, but I would've cut the first 36 seconds..(I like the part from 18-36 seconds too in itself, but I like the track best if started at 36s)

The whole track is intended as a bit of fun while retaining much of the original MIDI. It is vaguely similar in concept to a more extreme one I composed many years ago!

Just did a bit more digging through the dusty archives. I submitted Da Mice to the KVR contest for December 2007 :mrgreen:

At the top of the music cafe November submissions.
There's a link to the tune followed by a link to the MIDI file.
