A lot of my songs this year will likely be silly little punk/thrash songs and there's no reason why short songs like that can't be seen as legit (cf. Short Music For Short People compilation, Syntax short song comp, You Suffer, etc). It feels absurd saying this as someone who is notorious for creating extended length tracks lol.

I don't think there's any official policing on it, but I just thought I'd create this thread so people who make very short tracks can chime in and feel just as legitimate as those who write longer songs big_smile

Paulstretch the damn thing?


If it's obvious in the description that it's less than a minute for a reason perhaps..?
Wonder what others think anyway, Syntax has a 31 second music compo each year... :thinking-face:

I actually find I end up just filling out 'filler' if my tracks less than 60 seconds out of rule-keeping sake... its kinda annoying sometimes

.... Would 30 seconds be viable just to weed out potential 7 second troll audio?

"The submission should be over minute long, but this rule is flexible. Just be sure your composition is complete and not just a snippet or a work in progress."

Sounds like it's already flexible! More of a guideline and a minute is very short anyway.
