Music Swap!

[Trixie]

...because I seriously can't think of a more creative title.

Well, hello everypony! Earlier today I had an idea for a possible event thing all the composers here at MLR could do, and it goes as follows...

The idea was this; anyone who would like to does the following...

1.) Compose a 15-35 second piece of song, in any style.
2.) Stop writing and drop that short bit of music here on this thread!

That's right...stop writing right when you're getting into it! Why? Because then, other composers come to this thread and...

1.) Pick any of those short musical bits of music composed by someone else
2.) Make a response to that bit, implementing it somehow in the response; see what you can come up with using a melody or rhythm composed by someone else! Will it be the central motif of your song? A bassline in the background? Something else?! You decide, and anything goes! Make the response as long as you like!
3.) Post the completed version here!

Now see, I was thinking the interesting part of this would not only be seeing what people compose, but say several people pick a single short musical bit to write from...it'd be interesting to see the different directions each composer takes!

Note: If you can, name the bits you contribute. It looks prettier than "x pony's bit number 1", and might be easier to search through should you contribute a lot of bits =P



The Music:

To find something by a certain artist, scroll through the list until you find their name or Ctrl+f and type it. Under their names you'll find the bits they've contributed as well as responses they have made to other bits.

Sounds interesting, I may join in sometime later!

[Circuitfry]

Ooh, neat idea!

[SpaceAnomaly]

I like this idea! I think it will be very helpful for us newbies.

[Darktrot]

Agreed ill give it a shot

[Stars In Autumn]

I'll participate.

[Calamus_Dash]

I wanna do one too!
No one has posted anything yet though XD

[Trixie]

Well, I'm happy to see there's interest in this idea . I'll try to get a little thing or two up tomorrow, but remember you can post them yourselves too!

[SpaceAnomaly]

Oh oh, I got something! Made this pretty quickly and it's the first time I use a wind instrument on Ableton so here we go. Might have been a bit random to pick the horn of all the instruments, but if you can do something with it, awesome! You can change as much as you want!

Wait, just to clarify: Do I write a 15 second song in response, or can I go as long as I want?

[Circuitfry]

It seems pretty clear to me. 15-35 seconds, then stop.

It was worth it.

COME AT ME, JACKLE PAP~

[Darktrot]

wow...

[Circuitfry]

I am sorry for derailing this very awesome topic. Carry on. <:D

[Darktrot]

You did it again -_-
I LIKE YOU!

[Aussie]

Oh, no, I worded that wrong. I meant if I wanted to make a song in response to SpaceAnomaly or you, how long should it be? It's not EXACTLY clear in Trixie's post. It just pretty much says "someone make a 15 second song, then someone else make a badass song out of that".

:3

[Trixie]

Oops, yeah, I should have cleared that up.

I meant, someone writes a 15-35 second piece, and in response you write a piece of whatever length based off of/using it in since way.

[SpaceAnomaly]

So I just loaded up Circuitfry's bit on Ableton and this happened!
Harptastic Brass (for funsies)
http://soundcloud.com/spaceanomaly/harptastic-brass-sa-c

At first I was building around the bit but then it got pushed away from the song little by little, so I replaced the trumpets with Circuitfry's part here and there. Fixed. xD
Anyways, I actually want to make a song out of this this response. This is an extraction of the longer version which is already different so anypony can build upon this one if they want.

Back to homework...

[Circuitfry]

Bahahaha, that's hilarious, good show~

[Trixie]

Updated With SpaceAnomaly's response to Circuitfry's bit as well as a bit from me =P.

[Howlgram]

sounds like fun, specially if someone else continues what sompony else had already continued from a bit =D

As long as other ponies dont get mad at me by making their songs worse, it is cool =D

i'm game, though a bit later after school semester and tests are over

[PinkieGuy]

Anytime after Nov 27, i'll swap with people.

[TaisiKP]

It's not! Sorry for not updating in a while...sudden busy-ness sucks. I promise I'll add some more bits myself later today.
