At a stretch you could probably submit some Burzum-style dark synth ambience.

Nah, I got something nice for this, which involves a paper plectrum and a voice changer.

I'd much rather destroy someone else's melody than my own, this time. smile

I like the shared melody idea. It will be interesting to hear how different everyone will be when starting from the same melody.  I would like to clarify that whoever writes the initial melody should be willing to release it under a CC-BY license to make everything kosher.

Or CC0, even less trouble.

Yes, that would be even better so we don't have to remember to attribute every time the song is posted anywhere.  Or we could find a melody that's pre-1922 or whatever year that's already public domain.

I figured we could just post the basic tune by itself onto Soundcloud. Soundcloud doesn't make you worry about licensing, does it? Or, if it does, there'd be an option for no licensing restrictions, wouldn't there be?

I was imagining it being a MIDI file or sheet music or something. I hate having to ear out notes hmm

What's wrong with dropbox?

another option is to take a screenshot of the melody and post the image here

Perhaps all of these things should be combined? Soundcloud (for listening and deciding if you want to participate), midi download (somebody said via dropbox), and an image of the melody on something like FL's piano roll?

Just to clarify, I definitely don't have time for this. So, just disregard this previous statement by me.

Write the melody out in staff. That may be the best option
