Joe Atlan's CREATIVE CHALLENGE! #1

[fprbduo]

Hi!

We've posted a video for the challenge but it doesn't want to appear in the video responses. The link to our video is here: /watch?v=HvEotWpPyuQ

Thanks :)

[TravellerOfTheNight]

Hello Joe! Thank you so much for setting up this Creative Challenge - such a great idea! I was wondering when the contest ended, because I'm really inspired by your musical ideas and I really want to record what it's inspiring me, but I've been in the studio with my band lately (demo record) and haven't found much time to respond to your video! I'm sure I can get this done for next week though. I'll post a video reply the soonest I can!

[RONAPERN]

do you have to make it up

[cintiaphoenix]

hello joe!! ooooh please give us more time!! jaja, I've had a lot of work lately and I really would like to see if at least I can make something better than the video I've just posted.give us time till friday! :D

saludos! from Argentina jeje ♥

[bitterc0ld]

This is awesome, and looking at the other entries I see mine doesn't have a chance. Oh well, i'll submit it anyway xD

[Aylinden]

AWESOME!! Joe, you are Amazing :-) A Challenge, what a great idea! :D That sounds really good! :) too bad that I don't have much time, too compose something =.='. I wish you all good luck, for those who are participating in the Challenge! ^_^

[blah12345683]

How many videos can we post? Is there a maximum limit? Not like i am going to do that many, i am just wondering.

[JoeAtlan]

@blah12345683 There's no limit! I wish I had that amount of responses to say like "please don't upload more than one video per channel, I don't have time to check all" :)

[blah12345683]

@JoeAtlan ok thanks!



[xXokcoolXx]

I must have missed this before. Totally going to think of something while I'm work and use my three-day weekend to hammer something out! =)

[JoeAtlan]

@xXokcoolXx Great!! :)

[EmmaYates9]

[MrShafty10]

[9097Crazydog]

[Rasim1581]

I really loved it It's so beautiful <3

[akaimurasaki1]

you said you could sing right......can i record it anyway.....i like using my computer and im coming up with really good lyrics

[MrGabrielDark]

hey joe...just watchin' your videos from time to time...great job here mate...is it possible to gain a midi-file from that composition to arrange a digital remix for this contest?...Greetings GAb

[JoeAtlan]

@MrGabrielDark Of course you can! :)

[MrGabrielDark]

@JoeAtlan sooo...well can you sent me one please? ;)

[JoeAtlan]

@MrGabrielDark Ohh sorry! I misunderstood, I thought you asked if you could do your piece in MIDI, sorry I don't know how to do that thing, if you teach me...

[MrGabrielDark]

@JoeAtlan

somehow there are errors, when i answer here...i'll message you..

[MrGabrielDark]

@JoeAtlan sure i can...first of all you need a software you can record your miditracks...search Anvil Studio..or similar...then plug your keyboard to your pc...and record ;) you need to wire up your keyboard with midi to your pc...you can google it: usb midi adapter...If you need help further more...just SCREAAAAM.. :)

[DeusVentus]

@JoeAtlan thanks alot!

[DeusVentus]

[Narwelia]

It is very nice to you to organize this challenge. I hope I will be able to produce something! Have a nice day!

[JoeAtlan]

@Narwelia That would be amazing Caroline!! Waiting for your response :)

[dako89]

Hey Joe! What do you think If I just take the first chords and play along with that with my guitar?

[JoeAtlan]

@dako89 Do what inspires you the most! :)

[mrjorgevb24]

buen video



[RyRy794]

maybe i must do some adaptation of it, what about a power metal drum with a pad effect using these chords, and the synth solo?

i don't know how to start it, but i'm so excited

[JoeAtlan]

@RyRy794 Nice!! That would be great, I'm as excited as you :)

[KRAZYNESS09]

i wish i could participate but my webcam isnt working properly. the audio only works in the first half of the video then it just stops. i dont know whats wrong so im sorry, but mostly frustrated :(

[koreamom]

this is a very wonderful idea! i hope you have lots of responses-i would love to hear them. alas, i cannot join cause i cannot play!

[JoeAtlan]

@koreamom Thank you so much :)

[esther17ify]

Hi JOE i would love to be part of the challenge, and i do have a piece which is my own composition, but not working around your chord sequence!! its a piece i ddi some years ago for an albumn but is in Eb with a with a key change to G and then back to Eb hope this will be ok!! and strangely enough there is some connection slightly with what you have done here!! when i have rid of my cold and  a nasty cold sore which would show up on vid, hope this will b ok!! chris

[JoeAtlan]

@esther17ify Hello my friend! I will happily watch your video as soon as you put it as a response. Try it to have some connection with mine, that's part of the challenge, but I'm sure it will be great, take care and get better soon! :)

[tmetalico]

I think I am singing with that pretty melody... Hope you like it

Greetings

[JoeAtlan]

@tmetalico Amazing! :) Looking forward to that :)

[Planez4meh]

Do you, by any chance, have any sheet music written out for this? I'd love to work with it, and could probably figure it out by ear, but would rather be able to read/hear it exactly the way it's written. I'd probably do a short instrumental for it, if you've got the sheet music.

[JoeAtlan]

@Planez4meh Hello Brian! Unfortunately I don't have sheet music for this, I just put the chords on the video while I was playing, because the only thing I do is to play the melody with easy chords on the left hand. You don't have to do exactly the same at all by the way, if you just get the inspiration and then do something else will be enough for me :) Thank you!

[Planez4meh]

That's a pretty sweet melody. Sounds medievalish.

[JoeAtlan]

@Planez4meh Thank you :) I like medieval inspirations!

[laumaelinful]

is it possible to play a solo over those chords? 

[JoeAtlan]

@laumaelinful Of course!

[therefiningfire]

@JoeAtlan so because it starts in A major that means the whole song is in the key of A major?

[JoeAtlan]

@therefiningfire No sorry it starts in A minor! I forgot to put that on the video :)

[JoeAtlan]

@therefiningfire I could say that the song it's in A minor but it has some variations on the melody, which I think it's slow enough to figure out by ear :) If you have any problem send me a message!

[RyRy794]

@JoeAtlan

i'm thinking about to do a little synth lead solo with your song as background

it will be so shortly but i think will be great

is the piano transposed?

[JoeAtlan]

@RyRy794 No the piano it's not transposed :) go for it man I will wait to see it! :)

[xX4monX4m4rthXx]

and also, could we do two different renditions on one video?

[JoeAtlan]

@xX4monX4m4rthXx Of course!

[xX4monX4m4rthXx]

i cant remember what piece this is of yours....id love to add a little something, could you enlighten me please..??

[JoeAtlan]

@xX4monX4m4rthXx The background music of before & after is Dawn Drops, but the "Challenge Music" is something new, without title :)

[xX4monX4m4rthXx]

@JoeAtlan i just noticed that...it was late i thought it was all from dawn drops....thats what i gett for watching epicness at 6 am with no sleep....

[JoeAtlan]

@xX4monX4m4rthXx Haha, thanks a lot! :=

[JoeAtlan]

@xX4monX4m4rthXx Haha, thank you so much :)

[TheCizayas]

The song is in C major?

[JoeAtlan]

@TheCizayas It's in Am, with some variations but it's an easy key :)

[DevaXfish]

nice idea Joe :)

[WebCamCartmell]

Sounds good! I'd bust out my keytar if I could be bothered :P

I'll try and write something up, working in A is good.

[JoeAtlan]

@WebCamCartmell :) That's true!

[ichi6417isaberi]

I just closed my eyes : i'm not musician,

a walk alone in the forest, walkers we meet, memories that begin to arise ...

[JoeAtlan]

@UltimateImperium Of course! That would be cool I'm sure :) You can do whatever you want man, as long as you "do" something :)

[sylnanu]

What a great idea, I wish I could play:)

[viperking001]

Is it okay if I create something in a DAW like Reason and post that? I don't have a piano and can't really play it by hand, just loving to create music.

[JoeAtlan]

@viperking001 Of course! :)

[onyxyus]

how long does it have to be the video response?:)

[JoeAtlan]

@onyxyus It can be any length :) what you feel like!

[jacobjedi2]

Hmm, I'll see if I can come up with anything. :)

[JoeAtlan]

@jacobjedi2 Nice Jake! :)

[GuessWhatTheImageIs]

♫♪ *•.¸¸.•* ♫♪ ☼♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥☼ ♫♪ *•.¸¸.•* ♫♪ Nice :) xx

[Abomb520]

I can play the piano... but have no where near the talent that you have... I would only embarrass myself in front of others :(

[JoeAtlan]

@Abomb520 Nooo come on don't say that! Everyone will appreciate your piece as much as I would! :)

[xIndustrialShadoWx]

Well if i could play like that .. i would take you on...

[JoeAtlan]

@xIndustrialShadoWx You don't have to do something hard at all! :)

[platinum10000]

wow it feels like a nobuo uematsu song

[LadyBethAnn]

nice! can't wait to see everyones responses! :)

[ickomusic]

I'm up for it :)

[JoeAtlan]

@ickomusic Great! :)
