Compoverse
Learn. Create. Compete.
Compo is a slang word for "composition competition" commonly used by the arrangement community. It is derrived from the demoscene competitions by the same name.
Contrary to this, compos are less of a competition and more of an excerise in composition abilites. Each compo has it's own unique format and guidelines and while some are as short as 1 hour, others can last anywhere from a month, to a few months.
It's important to remember that the primary purpose of compos are to hone your skills and abilites by working within, sometimes very constricting, guidelines. These techiniques have proven essential to the growth of countless musicians.
Remember: the only way to lose a compo, is to not participate.

Source: Jet Force Gemini (N64) - S.S. Anubis
"Hey there!
Thank you so much for the kind words on my remix of Starlight Highway, I'm glad people were able to enjoy it.
For my source I'd like to pick something from one of my favorite obscure games, Jet Force Gemini for the N64. In particular, the track S.S. Anubis. This hits all the marks of a song ripe for great remixes to me. Fantastic rhythms, melodies, and harmonic progressions. There's even some pretty cool percussion and hybrid orchestral elements that delight me to hear in an N64 soundtrack! I can't wait to hear what people can do with it."

I will still use ThaSauce as a possible place to submit songs and upload all the songs to the ThaSauce page to have the songs at one central place.

I dedicate round 100 to the dark lord...OVERLOOKED REMIX. In other words, it's a spoof round...so bring in your silly voice clips, fart sounds, wonky synths, tone-deaf skillz, and over-all intentionally-bad talents. We are gonna have fun defacing some epic classic tunes. Meddleys are welcome this round!! Links up above were submitted by previous round participants via PM. Round 101 will return to normal programming. MIDI's provided at the MnP OCR thread.
