Yoshiman gave me the go ahead, so I'm making this now.

This is the first Unofficial Music Competition
the rules are essentially the same as the official competitions in the General Chat. There will be a limited time to work, followed by a vote, followed then by a final vote.

The theme is:
"Create a composition that is either a remix of, or resembles the same style as the overworld theme from Super Mario Bros."

Examples are somewhat unnecessary, as this song is all but universally reknown.

You may submit either modules, midi or mp3, however not wav, as the file size is too large.

Here's some helpful programs
Audacity - Free Recording software
LAME Mp3 encoder - Allows Audacity to export to MP3, a must. This will also allow you to convert .Wav to .Mp3 (via Audacity)
Anvil Studio - Simple to use Midi sequencer (click "Download ver xxxx" at the top of the screen")
Modplug Tracker - A sequencer that uses wav samples. If you want more info on how to use it, check our the NCFC music workshop transcript - http://brosofcanada.sepwich.com/NCFCTrans/MusWorkTrans.txt

I'm not sure how long to give, but for now, you have until Dec 8, 2007. If an extension is necessary at that time, we will make one.

Enjoy the competition, and good luck!

Bravo! Pretty good for when you were first learning piano.

Hey... it was my idea (sort of...)

No but, honestly, I'm glad this worked out.

As much as I'd like to enter, I hate this song and I can't do **** with it ...

maybe one of you guys' submissions can give me an idea to steal

... you guys are thinkin outside the box for this one

alright that's it it's time for mega awesome draco remix 2000

for whatever reason winamp will not play it (and yes I installed an ogg plugin, and yes it's the one you use to play them not to make them)

^ followed this and it won't play

This would sound really awesome, but only if you got your notes correct for the melody.

cool. i'll try to do something.

It might just be my tastes, but it sounds like that was intentional

Usually if someone intentionally makes wrong notes, he/she either makes all the notes wrong, or pitches them at the beginning of a measure, not at random intervals.
