So going off Kil's post talking about themed packs, I just realized that there's a particular themed pack I wanna try, so I made this. In addition, I wanted to see if some new ideas for organizing packs work.
Name subject to change but unlikely. I probably want to start with about 15 songs, but if things go well I might make it bigger. If music qualifications are too tight I might even make the pack smaller. Quality expected as usual. I don't care about technicality much as long as you don't make blatant errors and the chart is fun. No deadline set yet, I imagine it'll take a while to get this together.
Rules
- You can submit as many charts as you like of any difficulty, and any chart types are accepted as long as it's keyboard play. (so you can submit 6k material without a 4k chart, etc)
- Submissions should be public. Post links in the thread with your chart download
- Song must be approved. See below for details
- Charts already released elsewhere are totally allowed
Song Selection
Because I made this pack specifically for the musical theme, I determine which songs are acceptable to do. The reason why I want this to be done first, separate of chart submission, is because I don't want people making something and having it be rejected purely because the song doesn't fit the theme. This is put in place to avoid that.
As for the songs themselves, obviously I want complextro. But I'll be more lenient and say more generally, I'm looking for electronic music that has a wide range of textures and sounds, that feels rich and dynamic, usually done by switching between instruments/samples very quickly and often. A couple glitch hop tracks I know, for example, also tend to fall under what I'm talking about. Here are some examples of the genre/things I would accept, with timers on what part of the song is important to look at:
Nhato - Magic (1:55)
Madeon - Icarus (1:05)
Pistol Shrimp - Kaleidoscope (Lokid Remix) (1:02)
Virtual Riot - Energy Drink (1:26)
You're free to use any cut of a song as long as it works. In fact, some tracks I would even recommend doing so. Some tracks there will be gray areas, and maybe there are even tracks I would accept that most everyone else disagrees with. If such cases arise we'll discuss and figure it out when it happens. Because the cut of a track matters (you want to pick the interesting cut that's the reason for me accepting the track in the first place), if you like you can post/send the cut to me for review, but this is not mandatory. I think once I accept a track this part should be fairly intuitive, so it's unlikely anyone would pick a bad cut. But if in doubt, check with me.
Judging
This time around I'm gonna try something different. Everyone is a judge. Submissions are public, so anyone can provide feedback to whatever they want. Constructive comments are constructive independent of the person providing them. I do get final say, however. (don't worry I don't bite) It doesn't mean you can't argue with me and try to make me change my mind though, so have at it if you like.
Do be warned that playing these charts ahead of time will probably not make the final release as exciting for yourself, so if you don't think you'll be doing anything constructive, I recommend not playing these charts ahead of time.
