awesome contest this month. i want to join too. i don't know if i'll make it till tomorrow though.

Some things that came to my mind when listening.

EmeraldTablet
Good choice of sound. Good composition. Very well done!

JJBiener
Serious mood. Pretty complicated melodies, a little hard to follow.

This needs better orch samples in my opinion! Cause this composition deserves to sound really good! Reminded me of Arvo Paerth and I love his music.

Evo2slo
Nice playing, good guit sound. Some cool riffs.

Nikp2000
Love that one.

Offthewall
Great guit sound! A little strange to me, that the 2 instruments
have 2 pretty different reverbs so they won't sound as if they are the same room.

Patrick9
A composition with a looooot of space (which is cool). Needs careful listeners.
Only works for me if I'm really contretated listening.

MyEarBleedsWine
Nice beginning. Loses me as a listener after a while somehow.

Folderol
Dreamy. Some really nice melody turns. I'm afraid the flutesound is not my cup of tea. Funny last notes

DocJon
Touching. Fine composition!!

beanpole
I like the 2nd synth sound. Reminds me of some old video game.

rockstarnot
Don't know. Too predictable?

Some melody fragments, but too random for me to be honest. Like the guitar bending-end.

softegg
I wonder if some quantization would be good. It's short but works in a way!

kryptonaut
I like the main melody. A little more variation in terms of registers/instruments would be good, I think.

nahkaorava
Good dynamic playing. Clever composition. But a little strange mix (almost no reverb on strings).

DHMilt
Reminds me of Wim Wender "Don't come knockin". Clear message, great sound. Love it.

bzur
Nice dirty sound design. Monophonic? Hm...don't know...

GMoneh
Folkish piece. This is an EWI? Would not have recognized it.

mellotronaut
Funny lyrics!

thanks alot for your kind words, folderol!

It's quite possible I subconsciously nicked the melody from somewhere, but I wouldn't know where. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

i made it. i made it. oh yeah oh yeah. i made it i made it. ooooooooo yeeeeaaaah!!!!

forw. i love the entry. which music box plugin is this?

If I have enough posts in, I'll only be voting this month. It's been a busy May, and I tried last night to lay something down, but in the end, it just didn't feel right. It should work nicely for a complete instrumental,though. But the monophony didn't work like I thought it would. Maybe next month.

thanks alot!! Check wavesfactory... It's even free!

Thanks !

This was an odd month to me, I must get ready to listen to all the entries and get in the mood for voting.

Any speculation on the next theme ? uhm... maybe not... not yet

Cheers

molto grazie! ja wers orischinal jeniessen kann

Submissions thread is locked, voting thread is up.

Next month is a free-for-all without disguise, usual three minute limit. My apologies to those who don't like free-for-alls; I've been very distracted and no real theme came together. [Edit: In response to instantaneous griping, I've changed this. See here: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4933780#493378 0 / next page]

And:
Thanks, folderol and forw.

Also:
Vulcandj, you have more than double the posts needed to vote, so feel free (even encouraged) to do so.

FriendlyStranger, check your messages.

my take would be: 'use a genre, you usually dislike and transform it into something else'

'free for all' is boring

totally agree with mellotronaut.


What about: write a tune with only chords, no single melody tones.
or: only vocals allowed
or: only drums allowed
or: write s.th. in 9/8
or: use a drone
or: write the filmmusic to an imaginary film called "the girl and the robot"
or: only 160 bpm allowed!
