Learn. Create. Compete.

Compo is a slang word for "composition competition" commonly used by the arrangement community. It is derrived from the demoscene competitions by the same name.

Contrary to this, compos are less of a competition and more of an excerise in composition abilites. Each compo has it's own unique format and guidelines and while some are as short as 1 hour, others can last anywhere from a month, to a few months.

It's important to remember that the primary purpose of compos are to hone your skills and abilites by working within, sometimes very constricting, guidelines. These techiniques have proven essential to the growth of countless musicians.

Remember: the only way to lose a compo, is to not participate.

Halloween 2024 Competition (ARHCARHC5)

posted in Anime Remix Holiday Compo on 9/27/24

It's that time of the year again, folks. The leaves are starting to turn orange, the air is getting cooler and everyone's favorite holiday is just around the bend! Halloween! And what better way to celebrate Halloween than with a remixing competition? That's right, it's time for the Anime Remix Halloween Remixing Competition!

For Halloween: the song must be done in a Dark Mood/Style

What is a dark mood? Well, for one thing, it's not anything that sounds happy. :P Think something along the lines of these adjectives: Evil, Angry, Mournful, Sad, Terrifying, etc. Happy hardcore entries will be rejected at the gate. ;). This doesn't really limit you too much. You have a variety of options ranging from dark trance to metal to solo piano pieces to gregorian chant (I'd like to hear that). Anything that sounds "dark" is acceptable.

The HRC begins on September 27th

The HRC ends on October 25th
