One Synth Challenge #142: Vital by Matt Tytel (Jasinski Wins!)

[Aesaire]

Finally finished voting. I commented on a decent number of tracks, might do a few more later. Diversity was through the roof, from polished conventional music to far out sound design, this contest really delivered.

[psychefree]

Voted! Good ones! Real variety!

I have voted as well. Phew ... 60 tracks. I've tried to give useful (subjective) comments/tipps but forgive me if I've missed to comment on your track. Sometimes I have no idea about or no idea how to put things that it "adds" something to your track...

[h.s.j.e.]

Voted! This was definitely one of those months when writing the track was the easy part, and voting/commenting responsibly was a much bigger task.

Great work, everybody! Thanks to the sheer volume and ever-increasing quality of entries, I had to adjust my voting methodology downwards slightly and vote on a sort of unforgiving curve. Gets me excited to listen to the Vital universe expand over the next few years.

Hi all,

after reading some comments on my track, I think I need to write a few explanatory words.

Not being a native English speaker, I would like to first of all apologize for my poor English.

Some of you complain that I used rude words (f......g)

I actually thought, it would be pretty clear, that (f......g) in this context is to be understood as damn.

Every damn day.

I used (f......g) in this case, because the robot is totally pissed-off, that he is a slave to the humans.

Yes I know, robots today can't really feel pissed off, but maybe in the distant future they will

I hope I didn't write total nonsense in the end

I know a few native English speakers who often have used the word (f ...) instead of damn or darned.
Anyway, I assumed it was.

Long time ago I saw a short documentary in German TV, in which it was informed
that in English speaking countries the word (f..k) is more and more often used not in a foul sense but to curse.
So that it is used in principle like damn or darn or something in this direction.

Maybe I got it wrong somehow

So if that was not OK, I would like to apologize for it.

And since stupidity or ignorance does not protect from punishment, you can of course disqualify me for this round if that should be necessary.

Have a nice day
Juergen

Yes, this is absolutely correct. It's used this way very frequently, as an intensifier and indicator of anger or annoyance. I think it works perfectly as intended in the song, and I use it this way frequently myself, in private. But it's still considered offensive to a large number of English speakers, so I definitely think it goes against the "keep it clean" rule for TTWT in this OSC. I don't know that it deserves disqualification, though. As participants, we can always vote down things we find offensive or think are bending the rules in a way we don't approve of. That's what I felt like I should do at first, but in the end I decided not to let it affect my vote at all because it doesn't actually bother me personally and I generally want to let people follow their own conscience in interpreting the rules.

If you don´t like obscenities

couldn´t find much about negative effects on a quick search.

"But the question remains: Does hearing swear words in a movie or TV show or on the playground harm children?

Surprisingly, there has been little research on this question."

Personaly i´m sure swearing is good for me, and i think if you do it right it is a form of Art.

And of course freedom of speech

It’s the context, if I hit my hand with a hammer I would shout this, it’s a bit like merde in French, in the end it’s just a word
