Fast music

The Fast music compo will keep its new form from Assembly 2006. Problem with the old format (predefined sampleset) was that it has only allowed old MOD-experts to participate in the compo. Today 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 was changed to predefined chords that 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 when the compo starts 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 time of the song is free. (4/4, 3/4...)
• The melody is free
