"Original compositions"

on: March 03, 2013, 01:26:01 PM

I'm sorry, but... Please create a sub-board for these types of things. Mostly they're not even worthy of being called cheap, since that imply that they are worth at least something. There is nothing original with them and they tend to just use the "Poverty of Africa" or "The poor people in whatever country that's been on the news the last day", and make them suffer even more. It's written as a description to the audition board that the recordings should be of high standard. The "original compositions" are of so low standard that not even slow_concert_pianist would accept it.

I like your idea.

The problem is that most people doesn't seem to be much bothered by these crappy compositions. I protested a time ago creating a "very successful" thread (so successful that none of the two replies I got were related to the thread's subject):
