Re: What about a WB yearly chess tournament? (15 replies, posted in General Discussion)
It seems that to able to host a tournament that is not available to random players, we need to make it exclusive to a club. I’ve set up a club and invited you – I think the invitation should be in your chess.com inboxes. If they’re not, try to join via this link: https://www.chess.com/club/wb-chess-club-1/join/a3410e
When everyone has joined (still open for other players too!), I’ll set up the tournament.
How many days per move do you prefer? I was thinking 7, so it’s one song and (minimum) one move per week, but for me everything above 3 is ok.

Cool. You take over as the tournament favorite, based on the (known) ratings.

Cool. Now we have enough players to start a tournament, I think.
Did you retrieve/create chess.com usernames, spry and orangedrink?

It should be noted that I've never hosted a tournament before, and I've heard it can be some tricky to get the settings right. In the worst case, we'll have to abort and try again (this happened to another local tournament I participated in). In my opinion, we should opt for a laxed time limit (e.g. 14 days per move) to not make it demanding on anyone.

Perhaps this is kind of random, but if there’s any fellow chess players out there, should we set up a slow-moving correspondence tournament to play during the WB 2022 year? We could even compose theme tunes for the game arcs.

I haven't played in years, but if there's a tourney, count me in!
We'd need 4-5 players to set up at tournament. I don't know how many are acitve in the fora and will see this (and I won't start to spam people's songs with invites 
), but if you want to practice with an unrated casual game (with for exemple 3 days per move), orangedrink, send me a challenge on chess.com, or make a user and post your user name here, and I'll send you one.

The creator of the WB website also created the M8! There's been a great community surrounding the M8's production & development - so that's why there's a new influx of people. All the M8 people are certainly making me want to get one
Aha, I wondered if there was a A8/WB connection – and, so, certainly there is.

Topic: Week one (2 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I’ve now listened to all tracks from the week one drop. And this is my comment to all of you: Well done.
While not every track will stick with me, a few will, and on the other hand I disliked 0 tracks.
Great range of genres, moods, techniques and instrumentation. From true to genre to genre defying – most somewhere in between, bending genres. Some harsh, some mysterious, many melancholic, some frantic, some happy and even a few jolly. From simple to ultra-complex; from somewhat generic to purely experimental. From sparse to dense.
The most common trait seemed to be an instrument though – the m8 tracker of which I was unaware of before entering this year's WB. Must be quite a piece of kit since so many of you were inspired to use it.
I won’t be able to listen to all tracks all weeks, but will try to do the same some week midway and in the final week, so hang in there!

Re: 2022 - Creative Constraints (25 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I was thinking of only samples from the previous week's drop of works that allow derivative works, adding just a few other sounds and sticking mostly to loops and simple chops not manipulate it until it's unrecognizable
i might do that some weeks, but will also have other concept lines. hopefully some death metal if I can find a place to records growls

Got a concept this year. Can I stretch it for 52 weeks? Probably.
same here. the limits of a concept makes it easier to come up with something, i think
