Hey,

Thanks to ALL of you that have expressed a positive note on my new found prospectives.
I really enjoy the monthly contests and I'm really looking forward to carring on the tradition of making great music. This is a great group!!!!!!!

Oh, I scoff at those that think this will wear me down to the mear pitance of a broken man

Markleford, thanks for doing what you did. You did it well.
I hope you (or someone) keeps the Markleford radio alive, I really appreciate that playlist.

Scoops, good luck.

Or of course, you could do what Rachmiel does for the Reaktions compilations...

Here's a sample from (x-song) - make every sound in your song from it! Or how about... here's a free vsti - make every sound in your song from it! (It's almost always "make every sound in your song from this").

Can you imagine the, er, uh, JOY you would spread here by doing a theme like that? Think about it!

Oh wait! That's just the "Here... use this" theme, isn't it?

Sounds interesting, too.

(Same thing happened when I did freelance writing: never went back to writing fiction for fun. Now I'm worried that if I go for an MFA in photography/digital imaging that the trend will continue. Art and commerce, eh?)

Get a proper boring office job then...

Would not mean fun to me, but sorta dictatorish

or communistic?

And I know the "reduction; less is more" argumentation, just would probably be not much fun in doing this. There was a contest here ("graveyard") with the least submissions I have seen.

btw:
THANKS, Markle!!!

You really gave us hard tasks!!! Liked not all of your themes, but a lot of them (Folk from Mars, this month's one...). But you can't please 'em all all the time.

It for sure isn't that easy to be innovative in finding themes for the whole bunch of weirdos here, so you did an excellent job!

Indeed. Thanks for your time at the helm, Markleford. Some very nifty themes, and your good humour and aplomb were much appreciated. (Now you can join us in grumbling about the themes again.

)

Good luck Scoops!

It's actually an admin disease. I found myself doing this inadvertantly at times in the past. Maybe that why Markleford asked me to do the admin.

The radio is something that I'll be picking up. I'm hopeing to have something in place by the first contest.

Well, define friendship. You still owe me $$$ from months past.

I dont want to let the cat out of the bag so to speak, so let's just say the details of this will be provided when necessary.

Thanks to the past: Markleford & pHz for running the monthly competitions - for the imaginative themes that challenged us all and for the patience and hard work in the administration of them, for drumming up prizes, etc. Much much appreciated.

Thanks to the future: Scoops - tough shoes to fill, but I am sure you are up to the task. Thanks for being willing to take it on.

Best wishes to all.

-Scott

Hi thomekk. I was just making a joke about the er, uh, JOY Scoops would spread here. It got lost in translation, I guess.

The single sample song that Rachmiel had us do actually WAS pretty fun though - especially since the sample was from "Yakety Yak" and we were all working with Reaktor. I haven't done the single ensemble songs though.

Sounds interesting, too.

It figures that you would like the idea, Mello!
