I just like to inform you about a new music contest that is arranged by www.spacesynth.de, which will continue until the 15th June. You will find information about the rules and the prizes at the following webpage:
http://www.spacesynth.de/Free_Music/Contest/contest.html
I think I need to explain the first rule to those of you that haven't been in contact with the spacesynth-genre before. Spacesynth (aka Spacedance and Synthesizer Dance) is a instrumental synthmusic genre that is based on melodies, compared to musicgenres like techno and trance that are built upon a rythm. The songs often include a beat around 125bpm, a powerful 16-beat basline, strong melodies, atmospheric pads, vocoder material, linndrums with percussion parts, etc (and of course a songtitle that is space-influenced). Those of you that have listen to groups like Laserdance, Koto, Proxyon, Hipnosis, etc knows what type of music that is requested for the constest that is mentioned above. Here are some free examples of spacesynth music that I found when I searched on the web:
Dreamtime - Purple Twilight
Energon
Area 51 - Into Oblivion
Marco Rochowski - Insomnian Satellite
Those of you that haven't composered similar music can check out the following tutorial material where you can find midi-files, voice-patches, etc:

The contest has just started and will continue until the 15th June. If there is something that you wonder about then just let me know or write a topic at the forum at www.spacesynth.de.
Note, I'm not involved in the contest myself, I just a musician that saw this contest and would like to inform other musicians that could be interested to participate.
