IM Contest Interest

[Gav Brown]

Hello Colleagues,

I am proposing the following contest: "Imaginary Machines" - write a piece of music of no more than 3 minutes duration on the concept. You can come up with your own imaginary machine or write anything the name of the contest inspires you to. Any instrumentation. In order for the contest to be a go, at least 10 forum members must commit that they will enter the contest. Judging will be done by the members of this site. The deadline to express interest (but not to submit anything) is 5/5/19 at 5 PM EST. If the contest is a go, there will be about a two-month timeframe to submit your entry. You can express your commitment to join the contest by replying to this message with "I'm in," or you can send me a PM.

Thanks Stephen, you're in! You're our first sign-up, so nine more are needed for the contest to be a go. All, the deadline to express interest (but not to submit anything) is 5/5/19 at 5 PM EST.

This may invoke something horribly dystopian within us and is probably out of my league. I would gladly give it a go though! I don't know how I can tie in my experience with galant music though hehe... I did give program music a go once and I can't say I did very well!!!

[Gav Brown]

You’ll do fine Markus! So I can put you in as #2?

[Markus Boyd]

Why not - as its a bit of fun!

[Gav Brown]

Great! That’s two!
