I was thinking like this:
What if a few of us, for the fun of it and the challenge, made a list a themes and then we pull out the lottery wizard hat and randomize assignments for who shall make a track about what theme? Like we first drop a theme. example Harry Potter (done), Lord of the Rings(i think there is a few), The Mongol Invasion of the West, New York Harbor pre 1775 or whatever. And if the results are good enough we can make a compilation. Is this to silly? Would anyone want to participate in this? I would.
So. 1. A few of us thinks this would work and sign up. 2. Those signed up gives ONE theme. 3. I put the themes in my wizard hat and randomize. 4. Those signed up then get a theme that they make a dungeon synth-like track about. 5. If it works and works well we do a compilation. 6. If it works even better than well maybe I can put out a tape.

I'd participate. How varied should these themes be? Should they be random out of a hat, or perhaps we collect themes and then artists choose, first come first served?

I thought it would be most challenging if we pulled it randomly out of the hat. That way we made force ourselves out of our comfort-zones, or maybe we are lucky and gets just that theme we already like. There might then be the problem where the theme does not fit the artist at all: say if Digre got assigned to make a track about Gargamel of the Smurfs it would not work since my Digre project is focus on Orthodoxy only. That is no real problem because the solution is to make a new project just for that assignment. So if I got that I would just make a new project called "Gurgelhals" and make a track about the making of the Smurfette named something like "and a hard stone for a heart". We should need to be more than just 3 right? Let's tell our friends on the facebooks.

I say we make it as far out as we think possible but we should not come up with too impossible themes. Earthworms, gypsy folktales, Sierras Kings Quest 3 are possible themes to use for Dungeon Synth as I see it. Stockmarket investor tips, 60s swimsuit models, hairspray the movie are maybe to hard themes to make dungeon synth related music by. So when we feel that we are enough participants we each drop a Theme. And then I pull them out of the hat. After that it is every man for himself.

Sounds fun! Is there a way we can use a poll or something to vote on the over-theme?

For some reason I though from your first post we'd choose an over-arching theme for each compilation, then folks would make tracks for sub-themes, like: Theme - The Goblet of Fire Randomly assigned: - The Hungarian Horntail - Wormtail's Severed Hand - The Pensieve Were imaging a bit of a 'grab-bag' thing with disparate themes for each track? Either way, still down.

Either way, still down. That would also be possible. Should we vote what we would like to do? I am down for both variants. But I do like the first idea better as for starters and if it works out well than we could do complete albums. Why not. we would be like a Dungeon Synth Supergroup. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergroup_(music)

So when do we send you our themes? when is the dead line of producing the track? How many artists do we need?

Tomorrow when I have them all I pull out the Wizard Hat of Justice. So if anyone wants in on this please act before that. The deadline could be September the third?
