Round 8 Everyone!
Welcome back to the 'The Art of Music' contest! Music itself has many forms and genres all having their own unique flavors. Being a musician is an art, regardless what instrument you play or device you use to modify or create musical pieces with. The point of this contest is to encompass ALL of it. Following in the footsteps of my 'KillerPix Contest', each week, you will be given a theme.
The Theme
All I can think about right now is chocolate, surely you understand, so guess what theme is? - CHOCOLATE, should be some sweet entries. Have fun peoples!
