Microcompo AY-SCR2

A new composition development challenge for MSX default hardware has been announced, called "Microcompo". The compo is focused on the PSG sound chip and the VDP screen2 mode. Both hardwares can be found in a standard MSX computer. The deadline is June 4th 2023, results will be compiled to disk and presented at the Barcelona MSX meeting.

If you're a musician or graphics artist, chances are you're depending on a team that includes a coder to get productions going. True, a good piece of music finds its way to listeners, but having a complete game, demo, or other production ups the value of that track. Code, graphic, music, a golden standard for computer software. While there are active compos in the retro scene, most are focused on games or demos. The new Microcompo lets individual artists strut their stuff in this challenge.

This fifth edition of Microcompo by AAMSX & Culturachip accepts AY (PSG) tunes, and screen 2 graphics for its challenge. Only original, previously unreleased songs and graphics are accepted. A participant can send in more than one entry, there's no limit to that. The deadline to submit entries is June the 4th 2023, after which jury evaluation will start. Results should be in at June the 11th 2023.

All entered material will be presented on a FDD, both in digital and physical format, first on July the first at the Barcelona MSX users meeting. Check the Microcompo web page for more information. Now, go make something.
