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!

4 - Submitted by Feb 26

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. 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.

I first wanted to make a floating ambient version of this midi. But when I was busy, more and more rhythm came into play. It became a track with rhythm, one to dance to.

The title of the album is quite special. My girlfriend and I have been looking for a nice cat to give it a good time with us. My girlfriend had sent me a link to some shelter cats. While listening to my own production, my eye fell on a cat: Eli. The music, the name, everything coincided at that point. This track is therefore also for that cat: Theme for Eli.

Later this week my girlfriend came to me and said she was so hoping that the cat Eli could come and live with us ... (while I was working on this track).

I kept the chords and melody. Everything else I have changed. The style has accidentally become a Karunesh thing (I love his music).

Time to party like it's 1996!

Dr. Apostrophe X presents: "My First Demo v7 FINAL"
http://www.victorlams.com/music/2021-02 ... 7FINAL.mp3

Done in Studio One.

All sounds are the Sampleone player in S1, loaded up with .wavs from Samples on Mars' SK1 and SID sample packs.

The effects are a mix of SoftTube MultiTrack tape (in S1 it's fun because you make all your busses bleed together

), DDMF's IIEQ Pro, Crunchessor, a couple of T-Racks modules for mastering, and some impulse responses I made of my (1996) Alesis MIDIVerb 4 and (1992) Mackie 12-channel mixer.

This is my first contest entry in 10 or 12 years so let me know if I left anything out (certainly I didn't leave the reverb out). I'll try the link after I submit the post tp make sure it's working.

I took a couple of melody lines from the source file, placed them and some variations around simple verse parts and let them play against a funky rhythm idea stolen from Superstition by Stevie Wonder.

But I'm not really satisfied with this, it feels like a kludge.

And please write my alias correctly when giving votes!

Not happy with the mix. I left it for 3 weeks and tried to finish it this evening. It came to an halt when it came to the vocals.
