MSM 126 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 The description of the third JWFan competition contest will be: "Write a theme for any Harry Potter related character, already having appeared in one the movies or just inspired by the books. Your choice of style and orchestration is up to you, as long as the theme fits the character. You may take Williams' music as inspiration but your theme must be original."

Forge 0 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Ok here we go, time to kick off the third JWFan Composition contest. Your task is as follows:"Write a theme for any Harry Potter related character, already having appeared in one the movies or just inspired by the books. Your choice of style and orchestration is up to you, as long as the theme fits the character. You may take William?s music as inspiration but your theme must be original."The deadline for submission will be the 27th of February, this gives everyone plenty of time to do any required research for some not familiar with the books. Scores may be submitted as mp3?s, midi or Sibelius files. I will then apply my samples via Gigastudio to the midi and Sibelius files and convert them to mp3?s. This process may take a further two weeks to complete before all the scores are posted to the JW website.Send your scores to: Chris@Landeron.freeserve.co.ukAnyway good luck to everyone, lets make it a good one.

TIEfighter 0 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I´m really thrilled to hear your works! After all that contest is harder than the first two i guess...everyone in here knows the Harry Potter music very well and knows what sounds like it and what doesn´t...but im sure you´ll do a great job!

Forge 0 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 What do you use to make MIDI files sound nicer? Do you have soundfonts and samples and record it as a WAV file?My standard set up is Sibelius linked to Gigastudio sampler. Not an ideal setup, but it works for me! All my instrument samples are from the Advanced Orchestra Range. I know Advanced Orchestra is getting long in the tooth now. Does anyone recommend any good sample libraries I could get?

MSM 126 Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 It seems quite a few people can't make it before the deadline. Maybe we could move the deadline? Forge, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 That?s fine by me. So far I know of only one person who will submit their score before the 27th. So it wouldn?t be much of a competition.Would a further extension of a week be sufficient or do people require longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicpete 1 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Would it be that surprising after the lackluster reactions to the last competition? Personally I don't have much time right now, plus the Harry Potter thing doesn't really inspire me, but the lack of interest in the last competition made me look for othe places to present my music.

Forge 0 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I've only had two entries so far. But they sound excellent. I think the quality of the music gets better with each new competition. Keep sending them in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicpete 1 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 @Forge: Thanks for the nice words! Maybe next time there'll be a contest subject that inspires me more. Plus I have to score a tiny amateur movie and that takes most of my free time right now.@MSM: Since I'm playing around with GPO lately I concentrate on the forums of www.northernsounds.com (especially the Garritan forum). Tons of nice people over there (exactely like in this place) but more of them comment on posted music.btw: What the heck is a "corker"? I really know many english words but this one is new to me...

Forge 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 What the heck is a "corker"? Corker = "very good!"It was definately one of my favourites from the last competition. I like music with a good strong theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
