Did anyone else here take part in the Game Jam this past weekend?

Here's the music I came up: http://soundcloud.com/nathan-madsen/global-game-jam-2013-cues

Tried writing music with only Logic, my laptop and the caps lock MIDI controller that Logic features. It was interesting and a unique challenge! Really reminded me how important it is to ocassionally put yourself out in new and different situations to challenge your workflow and process.

Please feel free to share any Game Jam tunes, videos, etc below! I'd love to see what you all came up with!

Thanks,

Nate

Thanks! Regarding that instrument sound - I combined several instrument plugins from Logic together. My laptop HDD isn't large enough to handle all of my virtual instruments (it's mainly a sound design and audio editing set up) so it was a challenge to use only Logic-bundled instruments. Some of them are good and some are..... :P

......there was a contest?

Either way, it's a good suite. Not a fan of the sound of some of the overtones of the bowed-psaltry-like instrument spoken about before, but otherwise, it's very much worth listening to!

Wow...that really does sound like a bowed psaltry! I tried recording one once...and those are not easy instruments to record. Wow....that's amazingly good for just using the caps lock keyboard. I found myself in a similar situation once and downloaded something called midikeys...found it much easier to use than the caps lock keyboard

Well contest isn't the right word. It was more an event. There was no first place or awards - it's just getting together and making games in about 40 hours. I agree some of the sounds or timbres used were not my first choice but I was working with what Logic had bundled with it. Still a useful challenge!

Thanks for the link Bakuda!

Very cool Shane!!
