4 - Submitted by March 26, 22:00 (Swedish TIME )

5 - Your entry(s) must be composed specifically for this contest (or, if a cover, arranged/recorded specifically for this contest).

6 - Your entry(s) must be created with audio plugins or software studio.

7 - Your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (eg "1909_MonDieu_OxygeneXVII.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please do not use spaces and special characters in the filename. Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the file name.

8 - If you are going to tag your mp3--and you should--the artist name is to be the same as your KVR name, and the title tag is to be the name of your tune.

9 - One person can participate either with one entry, with one entry and one collaborative effort or with two collaborative efforts.

10 - Every submission has to be tagged with:
a) used instruments (virtual and 'real')
b) players' and singers' names (if other than entrant; collabs are allowed, sometimes encouraged, but they must be credited)
c) origin of loops and samples, if they're not free of copyright (this includes CreativeCommons material; please read and follow the license of the samples and loops you use); naming the origin of copyright free loops is also encouraged, but not mandatory. Please only use samples you are legally entitled to use.
d) name(s) of composer(s) -- if an entry is a cover this should be noted in the file name and/or the mp3 "Title" tag as well as the submission post (not everyone reads the submission posts).


11 - If there are strong doubts about the origin of the composition or parts of it, the participant should have the possibility to send a project file to the moderator, who could give it to a trustworthy person with the right host to examine it. Important: the participant should not be forced to do it.

12 - Resubmission of your track is allowed in the same post, so long you do it before the voting begins.


13 - 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.

14 - 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 early a.m, October 1st. Anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified; any entrants not voting will also be disqualified.

If you have questions, send a private message to hellfog.

Here is my submission for this month

Story - In 1953 the Martians invaded the Earth and destroyed most of the planet before the bacteria in our air finally got to them and killed them.

So you're probably wondering...How are all those landmarks still here? Certainly we didn't rebuild them.

Well, the 1st doctor, played by William Hartnell, in 1963 just before we get to see him for the first time, went back to 1953 and prevented the Martian invasion by hurtling the war machines 10 million years into the past with no way of getting back and dying out long before their planet could ever populate, which explains why there is no life on Mars today.

While we still have the memory of that terrible war on film, the actual aftermath has long been erased from history as if it never happened.

Lyrics

Hold On To Your Guns

We knew the day it was a coming
The warning signs were there
And now our world she is a running
Now's not the time to despair

Hold on to your guns
There's an invasion brewing
They've come
From the future
Hold on to your guns
The natives they are stewing
Ray guns
You'll need a suture
Hold on to your guns
Hold on to your guns

The buildings fall the buildings tumble
There's shooting all around
And in retreat our lives they crumble
Our fear as loud as the sound

Repeat Chorus

There's only one thing we can do
Go back in time and make it new

Instrumental Break

Repeat Chorus

A Stargate in the swamp

This one took inspiration (and a melody) from the Stargate movie.
Going through the Stargate, a wormhole opens and takes you in a distant place in a different time.
In this journey there is no desert, but we are going far back in time, and visiting a swamp (hence a muddy mix :hihi: )

Ladies and gentlemen, grab your silver wigs because we are going back to 17th century France, where we shall attend a royal court dance.
Our virtual virtuosos will be performing a Rigaudon for two harpsichords. And on this special occasion we have obtained one harpsichord from Italy (on your left), and one from Germany as well (on your right). Now let the dance begin!
