Nope. It's a mediocre horror movie from 2008.

That's a very rushed "done in 10 minutes"-entry, so I hereby disqualify it to winning by default; but I don't want the competition to end without at least one tune: CLICK HERE

I tried to evoke feelings of a rainy day, beginning with the distant roars of a thunderstorm, then some raindrops, a rainy mood, and finally the sun shining through.

PeterT, that’s one of the most amazing (and at the same time schmaltziest) entry ever been made in Tune Contests. I can literally see the credits rolling :D

This time something photoshopped. Could use lots of extra work, though, but since this Blitz has almost ended, here it is:

So at least I wasn’t far off, then ;D I guess with the VHS look of the pic and the overabundance of Blade Runner in this topic, I should have seen that one coming :P

Okay, time to roll this up:

Viking: Evokes jungle trek feelings indeed. The choir gives it a vibe of mystery, forgotten ruins, then the second part kicks in and promises some good action parts. Great! As said, the glissandi sound awkward, but that’s okay with me.

janleht: Reminds of an upbeat and wacky adventure trip with lots of laughs, action and weird situations. Could imagine this in a game instantly.

m0ds: Begins soft and almost romantic, like someone standing on a rooftop watching the night city flow by. Then he nods, books a flight and goes on a journey. He visits many different cities in search for something he once lost. Your track could work great for a trailer, as it explores many different moods and pacings. I like that.

AnalogGuy: For an improvised song, this is pretty awesome, and I don’t think you have to be ashamed of that. Too sad that, in the middle part, the drums dominate everything else. It’s hard to focus on the strings, but I could imagine this to work very well if it was mixed better.

For me, it was a close call between Viking and m0ds. I’ve heard both of them multiple times, and I feel m0ds’ track growing on me. So I declare m0ds the winner. Like he said, it wasn’t originally for the contest, but he made it during the contest and not simply dug it up from the depths of his harddrive, so that’s okay ;D

Thanks for participating, everyone :)

I'm on a short trip until sunday evening, so please feel free to enter. The more, the merrier :)

Too bad the glissandi and the slides sound a bit awkward, but I could totally imagine a trek through the jungle. Good work! :D

Is this okay?
I think it’s the 2.62 manual.

I’ve never reached the 50.000, and I won’t this year, too. So I will not enter officially, but I’ll try to pick up on some unfinished stories, mainly a novel which lacks the second half ;D

Hey, folks,

sometimes, fishing a coin out of a storm drain with a chewing gum attached to a weight attached to a self-made fishing rod isn’t enough. Sometimes, you just need to go on a big old-school adventure -- like finding Atlantis, obtaining the Golden Fleece or the lost documents of the Library of Alexandria. Unfortunately, one can’t be a famous adventurer without some theme song. Indiana Jones surely wouldn’t have found anything without the aid of John Williams, and Nathan Drake wouldn’t be the same without some good music.

You probably don’t know this, but there are many more adventurers waiting in line, yet without a theme song, they can’t get going. So it’s up to you to get them started. Write a theme song or a tune in general that evokes feelings of the Big Adventure, travelling around the world in search for artifacts, visiting ancient ruins, discovering secrets no one has ever stumbled upon.

I’ll choose a winner around November 13th.

Let us have many great entries :D

cheers

Wow, that was unexpected. Seeing that the contest nearly had been over, it’s great to see so many great pieced have been sent in last minute.

I’ll start a new contest soon.
Thank you for your review, Viking. I’ll try to flesh this one out and solve some issues.

I'll try to enter something tonight.

EDIT:
Okay, here it is. I wanted it to have a second part, though, but I didn’t have the time: <- Autumn ->
