Hey people!
This week's rules:
Write an original song dedicated to the New Orleans victims of the Hurricane Katrina
It really could be any genre, though I suggest either an orchestral ballad of some sort or one of those New Orleans Gumbo/Zydeco styles of music. The composition should be inventive, original, and portray emotion well.

I will buy the winner their very own copy of Spectrasonics New Orleans Strut (http://www.spectrasonics.net/neworleans/) drum loops. This is 100 megs of fantastic downloadable drum loops. Spectrasonics is donating 100% of their sales to the relief effort.
Good luck everyone!
That is really worth trying. I think I'll give it a shot...
Great initiative Geoffkhan. I will enter if I can free up some time.
Any entries? Should I extend the contest a little?
Yeah, extend it a little, I am trying to work on something.
Okay, just as a special case I'll extend the contest to the 24th. Just because there's a great prize involved, and I'm sure you guys want a chance at winning it.
By the way, just to clarify things, it's a downloadable sound library -- about 107 megs compressed. After announcing the winner I will go buy the sound library from Spectrasonics and PM (or email) the winner the download URL.
I acually made a song for this competition. But the file was 656 kb to big to be uploaded : :'(.

Can we have one (or maybe two, please............) I'm working on it.
If not never mind, but I'd like to take part. I've almost completed the lyrics
+you'll get to hear my voice!!!!!!!!! ;D
sorry everybody...
for the double post, and for everything. Don't count on me after all. My son is ill so no work for me today and probably for a couple of days. So sorry, again...
Gonna judge it tonight, so you probably have about 6 hours left...
Well, it took me several days to finish this, but it's finally ready! :)
Have a listen (http://home.deds.nl/~scorpose/Chris%20Moorson%20-%20Unnecessary%20Deaths.mp3)! (1.7 MB)
It really reflects the emotions I felt when watching the news on TV about the terror Hurricane Katrina had caused. It really struck me with horror :(
Okay, contest over!
There were a lot of great entries, but The Scorposer's song seemed to be the most skillfully created song, not only by the realistic instrumentation, but also the composition itself -- a very moving piece.
A big congratulations to the Scorposer!
Wow, I'm quite honored! :D Great entries everyone. I'll start the new contest a.s.a.p.
