Picture a deserted ship, drifting through the endless vacuum of space.

What is this? So few joining? I'll have to do my duty and join as well! 

Cute song karacho.
Well you obviously won, and I am rather confident you'll host this better then me. 

It has come clear to anyone who wanted to compete today that I am a twat for falling asleep and missing the comp.

So, the comp is now moved to next Saturday, and Wyz will be here to announce the theme and collect the entries.

All I can say is: I am sorry. 

Again, not much help, but at least I saw the bump.

Good help though. Thanks. 

ps: the first isn't meant to loop.

[What's an Hoursong competition?]

What's an Hoursong competition?
The purpose of Hoursong is to encourage composers and test them under a trial of fire. In this activity your task is to make a song within a strict and very short deadline (i.e. one hour).

When will it take place?
This Hoursong session will take place on Saturday at 6pm GMT. Participants will have an hour to make their song + 15 minutes to put in finishing touches (maybe mix) / upload.

How do I participate?
A theme is set by the previous hoursong's winner (that's me). It will be announced on IRC and here on Saturday. You can also contact me on IRC and partake earlier, if you can't make it on Saturday.

Why should I participate?
Because it's FUN!
The more the merrier, and it's great pactice for the ol' music-making skills.

Additional info:
- While it is not forbidden for the theme-setters to participate in the activity, their songs cannot be voted for (to prevent accusations of cheating and to discourage regular participation).
- Instead, theme-setters are encouraged to draw trophies for the contest's winners.
- Making your song from scratch is strongly encouraged. Cover songs will not be accepted. However, participants are allowed to use one (1) element maximum that has been used already by other artists (like a riff). Just don't steal a whole chorus or something like that.
- You cannot use stuff you've made earlier, because this competition is about making something new.

Camwhoring:
If you have Camtasia or Camtasia-esque software, it would be great to see your "Making of"! Or blog about it, or just open Notepad, do something! No twittering.

Uploading:

TerranRich's ShutUpload

Song formats:
Please use .ogg, .mp3 or MIDI. If a participant doesn't have time to convert the tune in either ogg or mp3, they are allowed to post it in whatever format they have, just make sure that the format can be played with either Windows Media Player or Winamp. This is to ensure that absolutely anyone can hear the tune.

Voting:
Just tell us your favourite tune. You don't have to enter to vote!
(If you want to tell us what you liked and disliked about all the entries, that would be super nice of you!)
The voting will end after a week.
Again, you don't have to enter to vote!

Please post here if you want to participate, if you´d like to start an hour sooner/later ect.

Hope all you awesome music-makers will join!

Yay! I won! 

Thanks everyone for voting, thank you Kabukibear for competing and
thank you Wyz for hosting(+ the awesome trophies)!

I might not be that much younger then the rest of you, as I am 20. But I did not grow up with these kinds of adventure games. I grew up with games like Fallout and half-life. But I find that the point and click adventure game have a special charm to them.

I came here cause I thought "This seems easy enough, I can do it too." Then I found out it wasn't easy at all. But I have stayed because of the community, which is awesome.

And I think this is what makes the younger people stay, the community.
If you can lure them in, they'll probably stay.

I think Mr B. has the right to the money, since he was the one that spent it, in the first place.
On the other hand he could be a good chap and give Mr B. 50 pounds.

Haha, thanks. ^__^

No, Bulbapuck what are you doing?! I'm suppose to win!   

Anyways...
My vote also goes to Kabukibear. His song is very good. Spooked me for sure.

That would be cool!   

Attention.
Death Metal.
That's all...

Oh, it's me in another Iron Maiden T-Shirt, just hours before I went to their gig in Cluj-Napoca (a city in Romania)! I'm in the Botanical Garden in the city. Also, notice the (now free) regrown hair and guitarist's goatee.

wait a minute! i have a shirt like that! does that mean we are a part off some kind of army that will take over the world???

Bulba, resist the evil telly! Pirate! Pirate!

For the record Bulba, it did air in Sweden, on tv4+
