October Contest: Submission - Halloween movie (Closed)

[Hellfog]

Halloween (1).jpg

"Halloween II" movie was supposed to come out this October but because of COVID 19, the release date was moved to 2021 instead.

So I was thinking we do something ourselves instead.

Do a track that is inspired by The Halloween movie Franchise or do a track that you think should have been included in the new movie.

2 - Time Limit: 3 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.

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

4 - Submitted by October 27, 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.

This is my arrangement of the classic John Carpenter theme for the movie Halloween which is based on a MIDI file I got ages ago from a site that I can't remember and probably no longer exists. I re-arranged it so that everything is playing from my (multi-track recorded) hardware Behringer-303 other than the string sounds which are from the Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony Orchestra Discovery plugin.

DAW used: Ableton Live 10 Suite
Effects: Soundtoys EffectRack, BlueArp, Valhalla Room, Waves S1 Imager, FabFilter Pro-Q 3, D16 Group Godfazer and Tekturon, Waves Brauer Motion, Creative Intent Remnant, Denise Perfect Room, Valhalla Delay, Pulsar Echorec, Eventide Octavox. Also XLN Audio RC-20 Retro Color on the master mix to give it a bit of a VHS vibe.

Was a bit of fun arranging the 303 sections as the main theme is much higher than the range of a TD-3 so I had to use Eventide Octavox to create a 2 octave higher version. Also, I had knocked the bloody tuning knob and not noticed because I only have relative pitch so everything was about 61 cents out of whack which meant having to retune the string orchestra parts - luckily the plugin has a cent fine tuning option!

Oh also this features a few footstep and creaky door type noises and a scream or two from a sample pack I got for free from Reverb.com ages ago called "The Synth Sounds of Horror".
It's still free if anyone wants to pick it up...

You certainly recognize the familiar features in this song if you have seen the particular halloween movies, that set the October theme. At least one movie had a very similar theme melody.

I dislike this kind of movies, and it explains the lyrics that I chose, a poem by Friedrich von Logau (1605 - 1655).

Es ist ein fröhlich Ding um aller Menschen Sterben:
Es freuen sich darauf die gerne-reichen Erben;
Die Priester freuen sich, das Opfer zu genießen;
Die Würmer freuen sich an einem guten Bissen;
Die Engel freuen sich, die Seelen heimzuführen;
Der Teufel freut sich, im Fall sie ihm gebühren.

A man's death is a matter of cheerfulness.
It makes the hope-to-get-rich heirs happy.
The priests enjoy their service.
The worms enjoy juicy bites.
The angels lead happily souls home.
The devil receives happily his own
