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!

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

4 - Submitted by January 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.

Don't mind a bit of country now and then. Not the stetsons and line dancing cheesy shite, but the heartfelt tales of working class ire and protest, that have shared roots with folk and blues - 'Americana' you might call it these days.

'Back in the day' this might have been called 'alt' or 'new' country, but let's say it's donkey c(o)untry. Yorkshire is the Texas of England after all....

My submission is more western than country I guess. As I went along it developed into a parody which was a lot of fun to do. I am not sure if it is as much fun to listen to :? but you be the judge... :D

January 10 resubmission! I have added an intro. Think of it as the credit roll at the beginning of an old western movie. :wink: If you have already downloaded the track, please do so again.

Additional plugin instruments:
EastWest Hollywood Brass French Horns
EastWest Hollywood Strings

January 22 re-resubmission! How could I forget? Obviously every Western theme needs a churchbell!

I'm proud of the writing in this track but not of the singing. I'd need to be trained to sing in the genre admittedly. A little embarrassing but it's a good track overall.

This track is dedicated to those in long term housing and institutions

My Horse, My Dog and My Girl

Hope you enjoy.

I made this song about an experience that actually happened when I was shopping groceries one weekend. I haven't seen that woman again since then.

For the 'song' I let myself be inspired by an existing Country Western song. I think the influence is still recognizable in my song. So the first one to identify the source of my inspiration before I give my vote will get 3 places uplift in my vote!
