Tune Contest - "Marry form and passion!" - till April 8th

[Nick Dangerous]

Sorry for the delay!
The task for the new competition is based on a book I got, "Die Popformeln". It mainly presents some chord-sequences, that are commonly used in modern pop & rock music. They always sound very pleasent (maybe it's because one has heard them so often maybe it's the other way around) and can give you a nice startup and some quick inspiration. Blablabla...


The task:

Take one of these chord-sequences and base a tune upon it!


C-Am-F-G

C-B-F-C

Am-Dm-G-C-F-Dm-E-Am

-you may transpose them
-ýou don't have to play the full chords, you can just imply them
-you don't have to use them the whole track through, but a major part should be basded upon them.
-you may differ the length
BUT: somebody who knows that you used them should be able to recognize the chords.

Bonus Task:

Describe a scene in a game where your tune could be used. I'm not gonna take this description into account when rating the tunes, but I might like your tune better if I can imagine a scene where it plays.

Hahaha, Die Popformeln, by Volkmer Kramarz! I got the book a few years ago as a present as well and then, last semester, turns out he was my lecturer at University for a semester!

[DrewCCU]

wow - this is a very open ended topic. it should generate a lot of entries. i'll probably enter a submission.

[PixelPerfect]

I guess I'll get this thing started.

PixelPerfect - When The World Ends

I guess if in a game this would propably have to be a cinematic sequence.
Something along these lines could happen:

build-up
something dear is lost or destroyed
something new is born or survival is a miracle
a different future is here with a longing to things lost

Here's a record of a plain midi-file I've made. It uses the chord-progression C-B-F-C, with a short Gm-A#-F-C-break at 0:50. It's mostly slow, becoming a bit more dynamic at 1:30.
However, it's a stupid, boring tune compared to the awesome piece of PixelPerfect. I'm looking forward to hearing more exquisite music like PP's in this contest.

You ruined a perfectly fine pop showcase with your ridiculous rompler sounds and your broken drum FX computer, dude!

I'm sorry, hallucinating schneider. But the metronome on my computer is broken and my rompler got rompled. No, it got rumpled.

I tried something new, and I'm quiet happy with the result.

Picture this: Its a sunny day and your just sipping coffee on a terrace in front of a café, this is the song that plays.
