Arrangement Contest No. 9 in C-triple-flat major “An Odd Time for a Contest!”

[BrainyLucario]

That works too I guess

[Dekkadeci]

When I can get to my computer, I'll put up the poll, so they can occur simultaneously

It's been some days--wondering when the poll will be up.

Olimar12345 does bring up a good point, though:

Just make sure to hide the poll results until the voting is over, as to not influence the judging (or voting).

If we can't hide the poll results from everyone who completes the poll, we'd better have all the judges finish judging before voting.

Cripes D: Sorry! I kinda got carried away with life! It's going on my to-do list for tomorrow!

[E. Gadd Industries]

Ummmmm yeah, I can't hide the results until after the voting is done. I'm assuming that's a mod's job, in which case I will poke a mod about.

EDIT: But with that, that doesn't mean I can't provide you with the files to the entries!

Bloop's "Waterfall of the Dead"
Dekkadeci's "The Wayfarer and the Setting Star"*
InsigTurtle's "Elegy of the Barren Chasm"
Lkjhgfdsa_77's "The Destined Heroes' Radiant Quest"
Olimar12345's "Gerudo Valley"

*Here is the link to Dekkadeci's .WAV file. It was taking too long to upload to my DB (40something MB), and it's late, so I'm trying to get some sleep.

There should be an option when making a poll to not let people view the results until the poll's finished. I make polls all the time, and that option is always there. Unless you're not talking about polls.

[Bloop]

Apparently you can only choose that option after entering how long the poll will run.

The poll shouldn't be running indefinitely or else it will overlap with the Arrangement Contest No. 10 poll, anyway. Maybe somewhere between a week to a month is fine?

[E. Gadd Industries]

Oh. ._. One moment and the poll will be up. In the meantime, I posted links to the files

[Dekkadeci]

Regarding my entry, I consider my MP3 to be superior to my WAV. I like the sound balance on the MP3 better.

[InsigTurtle]

Hey, Bloop: Would your entry happen to be inspired by Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead? I'm just wondering because of the ostinato and time signature you used, and also because that was one of my inspirations.

Also, I got pretty lazy with this one. When I slowed down Chasm Cave's theme, I noticed it was pretty much identical to one of the motifs used in the Rite of Spring. In "Spring Rounds" there's a part that uses this motif, and then proceeds to use something that sounds like Hidden Highland from PMD2. Essentially, I tried to make up for the lack of content with a double reference.

I can see the poll results. Are you sure you did it right?

[E. Gadd Industries]

>>>:/ Yes, I did do it right. For some reason, it reverted back

[MaestroUGC]

Fixed that for you.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Thanks you Maestro!!

It is, yes! That piece was my main inspiration for my entry; the viola also plays the ostinato from that piece in like three bars or so.
