Wow! Thanks Psy 
I know it was probably the slowest fast tune on here but I simply had to put something up or face a crisis of confidence, having done nothing on the competitions for so long 
I'll be having a poke around at this from time to time, and try and develop it some. |

OK
Completely off topic, but..... I was at "The Worlds Largest Music Festival" yesterday There was a guy with a display that offered free, unlimmited web space, unrestricted band width, free domain, ect, ect. It's at www.zude.com. I was at the web site. It's got a couple glitches, but I just thought I'd pass on the info. Scoops ---- _____________/\______________ |

Feels like everyone (myself included) struggled with this theme - mainly with composition but some even on the basic premise of the theme. ..or maybe it's down to the 1 minute limit. Yeah, that's a fair call, I think. Nice enough stuff but, for me, no real electricity down the spine. Wouldn't say it's the time limit though - a lot of the entries could have trimmed 30 secs or so without losing much substance, I reckon. (Especially mine and Pharaoh's.)  |

Yeah, me too! I sacrificed my chops to the sequencer. Really I never practiced enough anyway. At least the sequencer lets me create the music one way or the other. But thanks anyway! |

So is it true what they're saying about Kanye (or is Summerfest somehow bigger than Bonnaroo now)? Say it ain't so... |

But thanks anyway! oh wow, if you can program notes like that, thats even more impressive than playing. Dunno about anyone else, but I find I get best results by using the sequencer as a sort of mini-recorder and just playing single-handed fairly short phrases, then stitch them together. Once you've got a sensible melody line you can just pad out the rest as appropriate. This lets me 'play' stuff I would never have a hope in hell of getting anywhere near otherwise! P.S. That's method 'A' Method 'B' is quite different and top-secret |

Yeah, it depends on the piece. A lot of the time I play it all the way through and then tweak it till I fall asleep and the next morning, there it is. Or else I use the short phrases method, or the old standby, set the tempo to about half of what it would be if I had practiced as a kid, and play it like a dirge. I'll even step-sequence something if it's incredibly fast and has to be just right.
And my newest method, using multiple layers on Sonar in a loop, play it 5 or 6 times, then use the muting tool to erase the sections I don't like. Then I tweak it till I fall asleep... |

A couple years ago the Summerfest staff has Guiness book of records come in, and they declared it the largest music festival. It's been in advertising since. Saw a person that sounded like it could have been Oddbod. Maybe his double. Scoops ---- _____________/\______________ |

Oddbod told us here he was having trouble with his internet... 
So he was in fact having a ball, without us !

BTW thanks everyone who voted for me. I don't really mind someone not voting me as much as someone not listening to my song before voting. |

Some quick impressions. Did I miss anybody?
Now to post the verdict in that other place... EmeraldTablet: 21st Century Rush A party of very hungry Chinese folks wreaking havoc with their chopsticks? donkeyt: fast Rock solid, I mean solid rock. farlukar: shift Is that an old analog modem on fire? nikp2000 train song So much wahwahing without a sense of purpose.. what are they drinking? Folderol Not So Fast Luv your rich strings and general phatness, but this really Aint So Fast.. m luhtala: IfIAddSomeSpeed What would I say .. I would say ... add some more lyrics too
Patrick9: MoroccoBound Sure sounds like a mad camel fighting with a bunch of Dervish dancers! streifentier: fade out Really like the melancholy feel of this, a deep Leonard Cohen-like voice would've fit it better 1-2-many: frantic romantic dont wanna be Kraftwerkish, vocal is too shy but runs along nicely Barnadine: Treadmill Sounds like a breathless hamster with portable iron lungs beanpole: Lets Go Fast It's got energy and the chorus is catchy in its simplicity ... I like it ChrisWalton: almighurt Nice jazz band on Ecstasy, i could wish for more development Cyrosis: Poniard Too mechanic, but a cool composition DeepEddieZilker: Adrenochrome Too dark and muddy for my tastes. DrAX: Super Toilet Theme Perfect theme for one of those crazy Cartoon Network shows echovoodoo: roadrunner Hmm, annoying yet fun Funxi: Rapid Transit Chili So many bells in here.. I'm not sure what they're trying to say gag3: giantSteps Neat modulations at breakneck speed, feels like Queen and Madness combo session Ixox: IWokeUpTooLate Whoa, that flutist had too much coffee (I can relate to that and the brass band can hardly keep up. Great stuff
jacksolium: intestinal chorizo and menstrual ketchup Evil space dictator urging his monsters into battle? Scary Jerru: College Teenage Confidential Lovely smoking riffs, lyrics don't make much sense to me but who cares, gimme more
keyman sam: speedTrack A bunch of pixies spring cleaning? Definitely a cartoon soundtrack. LagunaRising: Germination Sounds like crazy mushrooms popping out after heavy rain, and the band tasting some of them. Some of the modulations don't fit me109: fast Interesting teenage blues ballad, if Beach Boys were into jazz it'd sound like this (only a lot slower) Mellotronaut: Ancient Chairs Too confusing for me .. what's going on in here? Reminds me of a Youtube video with crazy killer rabbits.. Nav: Deathwish Hmm, not to my taste .. sorry offthewall: APassingJig Nice futuristich echo of Erin's green isle, like Riverdance under water Pharaoh: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 
politecompany: runningoutfast Needs something more, filter sweeps lose my attention quickly Shrikant: Whistling Meadows What planet do these meadows grow on? I bet it's full of deadly robots Spirulence: A Midsummer Nights Epically Fast Escapade Got my vote for the phat intro synth, the fast parts had a cheesy Commodore feel that somehow spoiled it but still, well put together ZombieQueen: Catch That Flea Drunken Pipa master returns, this time scratching Max: SpeedLimit Liked the Pulp Fictionish guitar riffs, otherwise too much anarchy in here oddbod: mrvelocipede Wow that was catchy and swing-a-plenty as heck. Definitely a keeper Psy-T: So Slow Prodigyish, would've liked it better without the overprocessed voice t00nz: whathappensat480bpm I dunno, what? vicdiesel: Is that a bird caught in the laundry dryer? davebv: speedkvr That broke the light barrier, and probably some of the driver's bones too.. jwatte: Engage Too heavy on bass and that annoying synth sound .. can't relate to it much |
