Re: contest?

2004-08-05 by steve_the_composer

I'm cool with this idea and have a suggestion as to how to make it 
work--if its technologically possible.  Each voter gets to rate each 
submission with 1, 2, or 3 "best" categories.  The judges then 
compile the list of "bests" for each submission.

For example, someone might do a piece that other composers might 
label as:
(1) best rendition of a theme from Frank Zappa
(2) best combination of pads and strings juxtaposed with a mutated 
melody disguessed as harmony 
(3) best use of overlapping duple, triple, quintuple, septuple, and 
nonuple meters in a 32 measure composition.

etc.

This way, in theory, everyone is a winner!!!!
