One-Synth-Challenge 38: Olga - Voting and Results

[IrionDaRonin]

Ok, here goes my votes

1) Z.Prime - Another usual track from Z.Prime, his tracks always demand an exploring time in my mind for nostalgia and memories. My 5 points for you.

2) Jasinski - Amazing track from Jasinski, very well mastered, lots of automations-modulations. Although i still can't believe it lol. Keep up the good work, artist.

3) Photonic - Nice track from Photonic. Very melodic and evocative. Keep that style, you are doing really nice.

4) Bzur - Misterious, cosmic and "cold" track from Bzur, well mastered, but nothing compared to "No more tears". Stop getting prizes already!

5) Pulse Width Modulation - And the great Czarina, very realistic and with a human touch from an analog synth. Well done.

Honorable Mentions to

From now, i will give 3 unreal "prizes" in each of my votes every month. One to graphic portrait. Another to title. And the last one to a special track, either for his weirdness, risky style, either for i just liked it but i ran out of points (let's call it, the sixth track in my vote)
So please, be creative!

·Evo2slo - Prize to the graphic portrait of the month!
·TattieMannie - Prize to the best title track of the month!
·Pulse Width Modulation - Amazing realistic track from an analog synth, with human touch. Cheers!

To everybody, as every month, keep up the good work, cheers, don't give up and don't stop making music, please.

Have a good day guys

5 - Jasinski - Motes and Beams
I didn't like this one at first, but it's really grown on me. I don't like electronic dance music, and I heard a lot of that in your track, but it's so well written that I got over that. Great song, not repetitive, not too aggressive, good composition, and excellent mixing.

4 - Pulse Width Modulation - The Dance of Olga, the Peasant Czarina
My jaw dropped the first time I heard this. Incredible sounds. And I like how you made it all sound like Eastern European folk while throwing in your own twists in the composition.

3 - Photonic - Pulsar
I like how you embrace the synth sounds and make them sound great without emulating real instruments. Very interesting track with lots of changes throughout, but you made it all cohere nicely.

2 - z.prime - Largo
Relly neat groove and feel you got here. The lead and kick drum sounds got a bit tedious to me by the end, but I think that's a personal thing.

1 - Yeager - Unicorn Soup
Nice, driving track, but I would have liked to hear some more lead parts in it.

Really enjoyed listening to the entries this month. So much variation and individuality. Sorry to all the excellent tracks I had no votes left for.

Jasinski - Motes and Beams (5 pts)
Grabbed me from the opening notes and kept me riveted all the way through. Those dubsteppy breaks are mind-meltingly good. Stunning the sounds you were able to get out of Olga, and the composition itself is so worthy of the effort. Amazing track.

bzur - Tundra (4pts)
The combination of the cold pads, icy plucks, and blustery wind creates a great chilly atmosphere - and the bass and percussion add a wonderful contrasting warmth. The balance between the various temperatures of sound made me think of an image from a thermal camera. And the melodies are breathtaking. This track truly creates a world of its own.

Pulse Width Modulation - The Dance of Olga, the Peasant Czarina (3 pts)
Incredible organic, acoustic sound emulations, and the perfect folksy composition within which to feature them. Love those tempo changes. Creative, unique, and ambitious. Well done!

Photonic - Pulsar (2 pts)
Fantastic arrangement. Love how the track builds up to that insanely catchy hard hitting chorus, then settles down into a sweet groovy jam. Such a pleasure to listen to.

RuediRena - Товарищ Троцкий исчезает из истории (1 pt)
Really liked the note choices in the arpeggios for the main chord progression, gave the piece a nice somber mood. I thought the sound effects were integrated well and added a nice texture, and the crazed solo is disturbingly perfect. Great song concept as well.

5 pts: Bzur - Tundra
Not the sounds typically expected from Olga, but there's no denying the complete tune and workmanship here. I really like this one.

4 pts: Photonic - Pulsar
Very nice track with top sounds and strong melody. Production is good too.

3 pts: Yeager - Unicorn Soup
Dig this tune a lot. It showcases typical Olga sounds and is as usual well produced.

2 pts: Jasinski - Motes and Beams
Brilliant work. Great sounds, fun tune with lots of interesting, fitting parts and nice detail. Mix was top too and song would have easily given top score, but creative sampling is taking unfair advantage of One-Synth-Challenge rules so points lost. (can't disallow as practice is to give warning and chance to fix, but I didn't so voting justice only this time)

1 pt: Z.prime - Largo
Nice track, sounds and production.

Ok, first of all, apologies for the lack of reviews, I really wanted to give a short review for every single track, but school holidays are difficult to work around .. so hardly got any notes written.

Once again, a fantastic collection of music, full of variation, energy and imagination. With a synth like OLGA, a sense of continuity and identity was inevitable across the whole collection. Interesting to hear a flavour not only of the 80's ... as we might expect, but the 70's and a wee bit of the 60's as well!

Secondly, thanks to everyone for the comments here, and attached to the tracks on the player - not only in relation to my track, but the whole collection ... makes the comp all the more engaging and meaningful

And to the votes.

The first 2 were easy.

Bzur - Tundra ... 5
jasinski - Motes and Beams ... 4

Now it gets difficult, but before I change my mind ( again )

Yeager - Unicorn Soup ... 3
z.prime - Largo ... 2
Phototonic - Pulsar ... 1

Another two tracks which were begging for my limited supply of points were those by Pulse Width Modulation and Key88 for different reasons .... on another day, they may well have been up there among the points. However, another day is not an option, so better luck next time guys, and a seriously sincere well done to all who contributed to this intriguing and entertaining collection.

+1 !

I completely agree - the feedback is what I personally appreciate the most (especially constructive criticism, which a bit harder to find).
