Broadjam News

Have you ever read a novel thinking you knew where the story was going, but halfway through the author takes the plot in an unexpected direction? Maybe you've watched an action movie, positive that the main character was going to survive, only to be shocked when he gets blown away by an overlooked baddie. Changes can be surprising, even jarring. But at the same time, aren't they kind of exciting?

That's the effect we're looking for in Challenge #6, Two-Timer. We want you to use at least two time signatures in your song. Time changes take the listener off guard, but if done well they can become a listener's favorite part of a song. The best song in this challenge will incorporate time changes, while remaining a great overall piece.

Usually, two-timing isn't a good thing. But for this challenge, the biggest (and best) Two-Timer will win!

Submit to the Two-Timer challenge
