🕊️ STOPPED PATRICIA TAXXON'S "FAILING" DURING THE EMOTIONAL CLIMAX BECAUSE WE HEARD THERE WAS AN OSPREY OUTSIDE. WE WATCHED IT FOR 30+ MINUTES. I FUCKING LOVE BIRDS

Can I come over and kind of limply drape myself over you without moving or saying anything? You can pet my hair if you like.

howdy everyone! the third installment of COMPOST™, cohost's casual music-making compo, has arrived! cohost. compo. compost. get it? yeah. whether you've done these before or are brand new to the site (welcome!), i hope you'll find some time to partake today!

this concept is loosely based on the one-hour compo, a quick event where participants make a tune in one hour based on a prompt, or with a provided sample pack. although they're alive and well today (particularly in the form of "one-hour battles"), they go way way back to IRC channels of yore!

here's how our variant is going to work (same as previous COMPOSTs):

• follow the provided prompt; you can interpret it however you like, use it as a liftoff point
• ideally you should spend one to two hours on your track tops. but i'm not a cop, so do what feels right. the spirit of the X-hour compo is generally to make something quick and not feel pressured to polish : )
• upload it here on cohost as an audio post once you're done
• tag your submission with the tag COMPOST #3 so we can all check it out!
• there's no scoring or judging or anything like that, but i highly encourage leaving nice comments and listening through the other submissions, as that's the most fun part! of course feel free to mention in your post if you do or don't want feedback
• submission period is open for the next 24 hours, to make this event timezone-friendly. it's beginning and ending at midnight EST. here's a countdown to help you out

bonus thing: although this was conceived as a music compo, you're welcome to submit an image following those same guidelines! in previous COMPOSTs some folks have made "cover art" for their music submission too. it's all encouraged. make stuff~

both of the previous two events were wonderful creative showcases and received 43 entries apiece in all sorts of styles - a whole dang album's worth of songs - and i'm very excited to see if we break that record! good luck and have fun, everyone! let's COMPOST !!
