The goal of our funs/works here
Hello guys
,
I was wondering what actually your motivation is to monthly take part at sdcompo Competition.
I was asking this as a general question by myself, and thought about it.
At least many of us put a lot of time an efforts into this project month for month.
So what's the motivation, what are the reasons , what keeps it going ?
Is it just for fun of creating new things/art ? Ist it for learning ? Is it for the ego for fame and glory ?
Moreover, especially one questions that bugs me:
What impact has this compo with all its great creations in general or for the society ? Will it be a museum of the achievements of a freaky scene in 10 years ? Does there last more than this ? Do we really meet people, build up relationships and find friends here ?
Could we do something beyond that ?
In the last weeks, when I was scanning through the results, I often thought that we should make something bigger out of all those great songs here.
Maybe we could dedicate rounds to social projects, against aids, for political projects, for freedom of speech. Against child abuse and so on.
For example we could create slide shows or little movies which fit to
the music of such a round and release that on YouTube.
Maybe we could create an annual Music Disc with a little graphical frontend and release that on YouTube (was one of my favs).
An example is the BitArts Music Disk release at Evoke 2008 (Keith303 took part there). I
Or maybe we could didcate a round to Renoise Resources ?
The positive effect was: it was no more just a competition and learning plattform. It also was a common thing of a community where the
community creates something for the bigger worldwide community
Would be really great if we could make more out of it
So I invite you to discuss this here.
