Voted.
Wow, lots of great tracks. Again I feel the whole standard is raising!
(Hard to vote to)

Anyway, good luck everyone

Voted. Great job by a lot. Personal fave was Outline by lokken. It felt so otherworldly, like I was allowed to listen to an alien landscape for 2:41.

Good luck everyone and thanks for the comments!

I agree, there were some wonderful sounds in there perfectly melded together.

Awesome top 5!

Take your time picking that top prize mmGhost, cuz those are some hard choices!

[functionform]

Congrats top five! Super tough contest this go around.

[mmGhost]

wowzers, congrats to the top 5, and to the whole lot... there was a lot of really amazing sound design and composition this month. it was a lot of fun to get to use such a powerful instrument this time around, I found the sonic capabilities rather inspiring. Thank you to Everett for making Fathom, and for sponsoring this OSC and supporting the contest and all the participants.

I definitely am humbled, so thank you guys, I'm glad that the music resonated with some of you! Listening to all of your works really inspires me to keep pushing my sound design and composition skills. Big ups to all you guys!

Prize: I can't say no to SERUM!

[] Peter:H []

Me feels very grateful! 3rd place in this tough, competitive round with all your great tracks and my rather unusual track...thanks all.
I've ended up with like 10 fives given to your great tracks, though I'm usually rather cautious to give out fives the other rounds.
This is also fostered by Everetts great Fathom, that is an tremendous enabler. At least I felt this way and had big fun playing with wavetables...sometimes felt like a kid playing and getting into this flow like state forgeting things around. Thanks Everett.

@mmGhost:
1.) I would have picked VPS Avenger if I were you... But actually I have thought about buying Serum from the price voucher myself
2.) Please don't forget to chose your "normal" prize and think about the "specify whether or not you give permission to upload your track to our spotify/itunes/etc page run by rghvdberg"...then pass on

By the way - is this spotify thing only meant for the 1st place winner?

Cheers

Congrats to the winners.

I was hoping Lokken's track to place higher. It have interesting atmosphere but his person is mysterious same as his track. No words from him during "combat". A silent warrior .

Top places as expected but everyone here deserves praise for their work and also thanks to Everett for Fathom. Getting Fathom for 15$ is a win!

[hivkorn]

congrats winner

[progtronic]

...I can't say no to SERUM!

Grats man! That woulda been my choice as well.

[JKF Flashico]

Congratz top five

[RPH]

Congrats, well deserved!
