last night i dreamed that my friend hosted a one hour battle (compo), but it wasn't on battle of the bits or anywhere else, it was HERE on cohost dot org.
the dream actually kinda made me think that could be really fun if enough people were in on it? it'd be very informal, and probably best done with a specific tag for the event and its entries.
what i'm envisioning is: a time is scheduled/chosen in advance, then the prompt goes out at that time. people spend an hour making their songs and then they upload them right here as an audio post. and all the entries get tagged the same thing and we just listen and comment i guess, probably no scoring. maybe even people could participate within the day, to be timezone friendly, and just operate on the honor system that you spent about an hour on it lol.
anyone think that sounds interesting? cohost one hour compo? call it COMPOST??
i'm glad there seems to be some interest in this - methinks we shall have the first edition of COMPOST™ next Saturday (8 days from now)!
i'll put the prompt up at midnight EST and, in the spirit of being timezone friendly, people can make and post their entries at any point within 24 hours. i suppose we'll use the tag "COMPOST #1"! some folks expressed a preference for a two-hour compo vs one-hour, so let's just say you should spend 1 to 2 hours on your track, whatever feels comfortable and however much time you can spare, i.e. don't feel pressured to do the full two hours. we're not scoring or anything :p
afterwards, we can all listen to the Posted Songs and leave comments and all that! it should be fun!
