CompoST 57

Posted on by
CompoST 57 happened today! Entrants were myself, Tyler Heath, Marou [formerly Catlein], mDuo13, and Argitoth. There was no voting, however I simply decided Argitoth’s was the most fitting piece. The theme was “Laboratory,” a theme that describes, well, a laboratory. Chemicals, computers, experiments, and machinery.

Tracks and Chatlog available here (thanks mDuo13)

As always, CompoSTs are held in #soundtempest on irc.esper.net. Come in and join the AWESOME!

The new SoundTempest needs your assistance!

Alright guys, I need your help. It is my personal opinion that SoundTempest, or what SoundTempest once was, needs to be revived in full. Our channel, #soundtempest on EsperNet, is still alive, and we have OHCs every now and then, however, it’s only a shadow of what ST used to be – a full community devoted to aiding both budding, promising musicians and game developers alike.

Since Andrew [zircon] is using SoundTempest as one of his main hosting sites still, simply reviving SoundTempest under the same name is impossible. So I’m thinking of new ones. I like the idea of a garden, there’s a whole metaphor for “growing” there. Outlawed words: “Sector, Section, Depot, Station” :). Maybe “dev-garden” since it has to do with game development in a way?

Anyway, the reason I’m thinking up names already is because I like how SoundTempest operated already. It worked. We got some interest from game developers, and there’s that whole Waerloga deal I had 😀 😀 :D. However, I still need help with site layout and logo, so if you guys could offer your help, that would be awesome, since I have experience in neither web OR logo design

I’m currently negotiating with ThaSauce crew about hosting [thanks guys!], so we might have that covered.

I’ve got that feeling in my gut. This will be a success! I look forward to a great site.

CompoST 55

CompoST 55 was held today. The theme was “Haunted House.” The entries are located at http://compost.lggaming.com/compost55/. Participating today was me, Tyler Heath, Catlein, Garian, and Fusion2004. Ty won, obviously :). GHETTOSTS!
CompoSTs [short for Compo and SoundTempest put together :)] are thematic videogame music OHCs, held in #soundtempest on EsperNet. They are scheduled whenever anyone feels like compoing.

Formats allowed are music modules [it,s3m,xm,mod], NSF, mp3, and ogg.

I host the CompoSTs personally and also participate. I pick the theme and regulate the start and end time. I also decide whether the channel votes on a winner or not [sometimes when I am tired, there is no voting :)]

Come hang out in #soundtempest, and please let me know if/when you would like to have one.
