Music Competiton #6, Blustery Blooming Barycenter

Many congratulations to DJ Yoshiman for his radical second place entry in the last competition, and good work to the other two who had the decency to enter!

I've had plenty of time to come up with some ideas for a music competition. I wanted to do Rainbow Road, since it's an awesome track, but doing so would be snubbing the fiery ambitions of my fellow members, who seem to much prefer Mario Galaxy.

No qualms though, since it had some pretty sweet music.

But for this competition, you will be limited to one track in particular: Gust Garden Galaxy

I don't have any rules or twists to impose on your creativity, but do something other than just flat out recreate the song. That's... rather boring. Try to mix it up a little.

Here's a video of the song and here's a slightly better quality video, but it lacks the intro.

Have fun with this one folks. I hope to see some amazing things!


And where's my head... this competition will enter Vote-Mode on May 12th.

I absolutely love this song, and am willing to pull out all the stops to make a successful entry.

oh god yes thank you <3

although as much as I like it...I don't think I can replicate such a great song (without you know, making it sound like garbage)

but hey, I'm gonna REEALLLLY REALLLLY try this time!

I'll actually finish mine on time!
And that includes finishing it!

Whaddaya mean only Gusty Garden Galaxy!? Ohhhhh! That's it! I'm winnin this one regardless of the track!

And a month seema a little long...

Last one took a month.

I'll erm, give this a shot.


Whether I fail or succeed, it's still an accomplisment!

Well, here's my entry. Now I wait. And I may change it.

*sits in one place for the next month*

Dang I forget! But what about the Badges?

Well... something seems a bit wrong.
As in tracks not playing.

Huh? Weird, works for me...

I dunno, just sometimes it screws up and tracks stop playing, or get stuck, but when I rewind it a bit it works fine on that part, but then another part is messed.

Well, I can't help ya there cuz I know nothing of the problem.

I'm going to do this, I'm going to make a MIDI, and I'm going to twist it up a little bit.

Er, not to burst your bubble here, but that sounds exactly like the one from VGMusic except for the glitches every now and then

This sounds exactly like the actual song, but with a couple of points where the music glitches beyond belief.

Try to mix it up a bit- don't try to recreate the song, but instead try to reimagine the song. If you don't, it may end up really boring.

I agree. The point of the Music Compo (Though I was only here for #5), is meant to release your imagination into sounds rather than pictures or programming. That sounds like you just took it from VG Music, slapped it into your music file, took out the intro, then attached it to your reply.

A month is actually less time than it would normally take to remix a song.




Anyways, god damn, Pucifur, had I known you wanted to do Rainbow Road, I would have shut my mouth. I'd rather remix that than this. However, since I DO like Gusty Galaxy, I'm going to enter none-the-less.

Also, congrats to you, Pucifur! Nice job on first place, I did like your entry!

oh god what have you done

I used the one from VGmusic as an example for mine, and there's nothing in the rules against it. But yeah, I'll change it up a bit. Maybe to a gameboy remix or something.

I believe when we say remix, we don't mean just change the instrumentation. We mean to actually re-arrange the song in almost a new style, add some original parts, mix up the whole thing to sound like an actual remix of the song, rather than just a "here it is, but I changed the instruments, lol"
