July Contest: Submission "motif of a well known classical piece in a song"

[Hellfog]

Hello, GMoneh had a great Idea for July we run with that.


Incorporate a motif of a well known classical piece, and build your track around that. Take for example, the opening of Beethoven 5th, incorporate that in your trance track. Or make Tchaikovsky Waltz of the Flowers in funk style. Or put lyrics on the March of the Valkyries, and sing it with your guitar in a singer-songwriter folk style. Doesn't have to be a note by note transcription, just enough so the motif can be recognized in the song.



Time Limit 5 min

____________________________________
Submissions MUST follow these rules:

1 - Encoded in either .mp3 .ogg (.Wav .Flac) format.
In use of Wav or Flac, you need to offer Mp3 also, so people can choose.

2 - Time Limit 5 min

3 - Entered into the contest by posting a DIRECT LINK (note: THIS MEANS A DOWNLOAD 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:
2 - watto
3 - slartibartfast

In addition...
http://www.kara-moon.com/forum has offered "self service" space. Log into the forum to find out more.

4 - Submitted by July 26, Around 22:00 (Swedish TIME )

5 - Your entry(s) must be composed specifically for this contest (or, if a cover, arranged/recorded specifically for this contest).

6 - Your entry(s) must be created with audio plugins or software studio.

7 - Your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (eg "1909_MonDieu_OxygeneXVII.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please do not use spaces and special characters in the filename. 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 - Resubmission of your track is allowed in the same post, so long you do it before the voting begins.


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, October 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 hellfog.

Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2, First Movement by Ludwig van Beethoven. AKA the Moonlight Sonata.

Even though this is a note by note transcription, people seem to have a hard time recognizing it. I wonder why...

Well this month I was not on something else, so this happened!

I took the motif from Jean Sibelius, Karelia Suite, Intermezzo, and used it to make something new, no cover, no reinterpretation. Maybe should have not.

Composed on MuseScore. Then Waveform 11 + some SF2 sounds + reverb

Do people require mp3 version?

Well, after a hiatus of almost 4 years, I have managed to get something done for this month.

Vangelero

I have used the snare drum motif from Ravel's Bolero (and a few other subtle references - e.g. the flute, trumpets) and given it the Vangelis treatment.  There are a lot more not-so-subtle references to many of his tracks in this.

This one got the kitchen sink.

Multiple instances of Kontakt using various libraries:

• NI's Symphonic Series (Strings, Woodwinds, Brass and Percussion)
• Soniccouture's Geosonics
• NI's The Grand
• NI's Kontakt Factory Library Choir

Arturia's V Collection, including:

• Mini V
• CS 80 V
• CZ V
• CMI V
• Solina V

East West Symphonic Choirs
East West Hollywood Strings
Serum

Very few effects, just one instance of CamelPhat 3 and one of Kilohearts Phaser. Mastered with Ozone 9.

It's called IDK because it's based on… I don't know.
I must have heard it many times but I can't for the life of me remeber what it is.
