Fast music

The Fast music compo concept will be renewed this year completely. Problem with the previous format (predefined sampleset) has been that it has only allowed old MOD-experts to participate in the compo. This year we are not limiting the tools to compose the song to the compo. The competition is open for ALL composition tools. Why not even sing your fast music entry! As a result, the predefined sampleset will be changed with predefined chords which must be used when composing the tune.

• See supported fast music platforms of the delivery formats
• The song is played only 1,5 minutes on the big screen. It may be longer though.
• The main part of the song must include all the predefined chords (expressed in form C = C-major, Cm = C-minor C#=Cis-major). These chords will be published at 20:00 on Thursday August 3rd in the Assembly web site.
• The predefined chords must be clearly distinguishable to ear in the theme of the song
• The order of the predefined chords is fixed. You must not switch the order or add extra chords in between. However, you may use other chords before and after the predefined chords.
• The length of the predefined chords is free. 1/1-note, 1/16-note are fine as long as the chords are distishguishable to the ear.
• The notes of the predefined chords don't need to be played at the same time. Arpeggio is enough.
• The notes in the chords must be equal to or greater than 3.
• The time of the song is free. (4/4, 3/4...)
• The melody is free
• The sample set is free. You can even use your own voice.

• You may use the sample set from last year.
• You can use any tools of your choice.
• You can use any effects of your choice.
