Over the years, compositions posted to the monthly KVR contest with thier lofty vocalizations have dominated. Well, it's time to put that dominance to an end,(or at least give it a try). This months theme is to create a musical piece that has NO vocal parts(s). That's right...NO VOX ALLOWED. That includes samples, vocorders, guitar talk boxes, facsimiles, reproductions, ect., ect.
You may use any musical genere, and any musical device at your disposal (except Vox of course)
1 - Submissions MUST follow these rules:
(a) encoded in either .mp3 (128kbps or lower if fixed rate ... average of 128kbps or lower if VBR) or .ogg format (quality level 4.00 or lower)
(b) A STRICT MAXIMUM of TWO MINUTES in length. If it shows up as 2:01 in my player, then I'll allow it for reasons of rounding in different players. But you shouldn't take that chance! Any longer gets a DISQUALIFICATION. That said, if a submitted track is over length, all contestants should feel free to mock the offending entrant mercilessly into getting permission to enter a new version of correct length.
(c) entered into the contest by posting a DIRECT LINK in this RULES & SUBMISSIONS thread (use the GOSSIP thread for everything else)

(c) have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (ie - "06_10_artistname_tracktitle.mp3") or something similar bearing this info.
(d) have AT LEAST the REAL artist and title fields of the file's ID tag completed (help us out, okay? it's easier to sift through labelled entries)
3 - Only one entry per person - no resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. PM me for permission!
4 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.
5 - Voting (members must have at least 20 posts to vote ... although contest entrants are exempt from this ruling) will run from the submission deadline until 11:59 PM Tuesday, October 31st - anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified - any entrants not voting will also be disqualified
