The Contest with No Name
This month you are asked to submit an entry in one of the following genres:
-Experimental Crow
-Ambient Death Polka
-Frying Pan
What are those genres? I don't really know either, but if you search the forums for those terms you might get an idea.
-----------------------------
A submissions playlist link: http://kvrcontest.farlukar.cz.cc
----------------------------
Submissions MUST follow these rules:
1 - Encoded in either .mp3 or .ogg format.
2 - A STRICT MAXIMUM of four minutes in length. If it shows up as 4:01 in my player, it's getting the boot.
3 - entered into the contest by posting a DIRECT LINK in this RULES & SUBMISSIONS thread (use the GOSSIP thread for everything else). If you cant provide a direct link, please contact one of the following people listed below, they will be happy to help you out. These people provide free hosting for the purpose of this contest only! They are not a hosting service. When contacting these people, please take the effort to understand the terms and conditions they provide.
Providers:
1 - knockman
2 - watto
3 - slartibartfast
In addition...
Kara at http://www.kara-moon.com/forum has offered "self service" space. Log into the forum to find out more.
But wait! There's more! If you use SoundCloud to host your entry, you might find this tutorial by kryptonaut helpful. Bear in mind that SoundCloud's free accounts have a limit (per track) of 100 downloads.
4 - Submitted by early a.m. (US Central Time) Saturdaday, January 25th, 2014.
5 - Your entry must be composed specifically for this contest.
6 - Your entry must be created using at least some audio plugins, virtual synths, or software studio.
7 - Your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (eg "1401_Crybaby_Idonotknowwhatliterallymeans.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please do not use spaces and special characters in the filename. I will be booting for improperly named comps (this will not be a DQ, just a little reminder that you didn't tag your comp correctly). Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the file name.
8 - If you are going to tag your mp3--and you should--the artist name is to be the same as your KVR name, and the title tag is to be the name of your tune.
9 - One person can participate either with one entry, with one entry and one collaborative effort or with two collaborative efforts.
10 - Every submission has to be tagged with:
a) used instruments (virtual and 'real')
b) players' and singers' names (if other than entrant; collabs are allowed, sometimes encouraged, but they must be credited)
c) origin of loops and samples, if they're not free of copyright (this includes CreativeCommons material; please read and follow the license of the samples and loops you use); naming the origin of copyright free loops is also encouraged, but not mandatory. Please only use samples you are legally entitled to use.
d) name(s) of composer(s) -- if an entry is a cover this should be noted in the file name and/or the mp3 "Title" tag as well as the submission post (not everyone reads the submission posts).
11 - If there are strong doubts about the origin of the composition or parts of it, the participant should have the possibility to send a project file to the moderator, who could give it to a trustworthy person with the right host to examine it. Important: the participant should not be forced to do it.
12 - No resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. PM me for permission!
13 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.
14 - Voting (members must have at least 20 posts to vote ... although contest entrants are exempt from this ruling) will run from the submission deadline until early a.m Saturday, February 1st. Anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified; any entrants not voting will also be disqualified.
If you have questions, send a private message to D.H. Miltz or ask in the gossip thread.

A fun cheesy tune about Frying Pan.

Samples:
Recorded pan smackings and vocal hits by yours truly.

Samples:

Code: Select all
chorus
cook it cook it, if you can
cook it up in a frying pan
eggs or meat and veggies too
check out all the food you do
cook it, cook it, man that's good
cook with butter like a real cook would
but not too much grease or you'll have a heart attack
and with cooking so good you'll want to come back
verse 1
one of my favorite pan foods is cheese that is grilled
and I've got this trick so that I look skilled
microwave it first, then put it in your pan
cook and turn it till it's brown, then serve it to your fam
you can do this trick with quesadillas too
I prefer shredded cheese, to spread evenly for you
a quarter inch works, but put more if you wish
nuke it and fry it for an awesome cheesy dish
verse 2
corned beef hash is easy as pie
buy it by the can and give yourself a high five
it fries by itself, to burn off some fat
add an egg on top, that's where it's really at
as for eggs in a pan, they're boring by themselves
add some cheese at least to clear out your shelves
you can also add some bits to clear out your veggie bin
mixing eggs with other flavors is no great sin

When it comes to the genre of "Frying Pan", sadly, I am
Lacking In Skillet
Recorded one take, using Yamaha TX802, Roland Varios, Korg Triton Rack, driven by Roland A37. No sequencers. Recorded into two channels of Korg D888, then mixed down in Audacity.

Titled "Holy Crow," this may or may not fall in the Experimental Crow genre. Some bit of crowing is going on. Hope that is fair.
Used Ableton live on Akai Mpk25 with Korg M1,Guru,Tal Elek 7,String Studio vst,Zebra,and Kong audios free qin rv.The crow samples are from Freesound.org.

As a Polish zombie, I wouldn't miss death ambient polka contest... There:
http://www.fairlyconfusing.net/audio/14 ... yToPan.mp3
http://soundcloud.com/fairlyconfused/fryway-to-pan
So, I was after death ambient polka, but somehow frying pan surfaces here and there...
equipment:
Psychodrumma, prototype of a drum machine, blinking, random sequences generator for Kontakt, that I'm still working on. It uses samples, an eclectic selection of 100, so I won't name everything, majority I sampled myself, but I have thrown in some library samples.
Electric bass, double tracked, played with fingers and e-bow.
Overloud TH2 on both bass takes, Fabfilter Pro-C, Voxengo Soniformer and Pristine Space, WOW2 on fingered bass.
