Tune Contest - April 10 to April 17 - WINNER: FLIPPY_D

So, here is the new Tune Contest.

You may probably know the picture "CafÃ© de nuit" by Vincent van Gogh. If not, here it is:

Imagine this picture was a scene of your new adventure game. The challenge is to make a piece of music that fits to this scene. Everything's allowed that is composed by yourself. Make a MIDI or do something else, but don't take parts of other people's songs.

Well, I hope that fits and wasn't been a contest here once before.

Enjoy your life, with or without music.

van-goghing cheers

Very nice! I'll enter this one. Hopefully.

Here we go. I recommend you RCSA, for Quicktime, though being an admirable player of internet movies, dothn't half fark up MIDI files.

Heya! Flippy dude - that's really good!

What did you write that on? It sounds so good, and it works really well with the painting too. I really liked those quick notes in the background - so cool.

Good job man! I would write something for this but I get all the music I make off my electric piano, and the quality is never as good as that. Oh well... I'll see.

Cheers!

EDIT: If I had to critisise one thing for this tune, I think it's be the ending. Possibly something as simple as a fade out could improve it drastically. (My 2 cents)

RCSA?
I did a quick google search but came up empty.

Wow, Flippy! That's a fantastic piece of music and fits well to this scene. Could also be a perfect lullaby, if there was an appropriate text ...

lullabying cheers

I used cakewalk. If you want a copy (it's circa 1992) then add me on msn, I have a pre-zipped file for anyone who asks. Unfortunately, it takes a-g-e-s until you get them to sound anywhere near acceptable. You really have to master controllers before you can truely get a decent sound.

And even then, it's nowhere near what I'd like it to sound like. But thanks!

/Every time I do this I vow to learn mp3...

Is there anybody, who wants to participate in this challenge and therefore needs more time?

Flippy_D · Sun 17/04/2005 18:43:37

Ah, the two sweetest words in the English language...

Hm. Seems, that no one wants to do some music.

Well then, Flippy, you're the winner of this contest.

Congratulating cheers
