4 - Submitted by

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 artist name 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.

Plugin instrument
DS Audio Thorn

I used Thorn's glitch sequencer to generate several different sound textures and finished off the patch with random arpeggio. This creates the illusion of multiple instruments playing while in fact it is only one instrument.
A whole-tone scale sets the mysterious mood of this piece.

I just used Psychedelay (x2) and some verb and improvised something simple, automated the mix parameter for something different in the middle where I played some fast stuff.

Obviously it's just a H3000 style thing but if it's good enough for Vai it's good enough for me

Submitting for the first time!

Recently I got hold of Musiclab's "RealLPC" virtual electric guitar. I think it's a great opportunity to test it. I tried to create something like guitar ambient with some psychedelic/space rock influence. It's may be a bit dull because I never played a guitar in RL and only have a few times programming a virtual guitar parts.

I used Tonelib "GFX" to precess the sound. The effects chain is: Overdrive>Rotary speaker emulation>Reverb>Amplifer (Marshall JTM45 emulation)>Cab sim. The signal is also precessed with post EQ.

"Irid" shimmer reverb from Tritik used as a source of a synth-like pad in the background. I play a D7b5 chord in the beginning and then use "Freeze" function. It stays frozen till the end of a track. Some of the reverb's parameters are automated to create a different soundscapes.

The signal chain ends with "Outer Space" tape echo emulation form Audio Thing, "Xenoverb" from Audiority with a plate reverb setting and "Cassette" from Wavesfactory that gives a worn tape sound.

Mastered with TRD "Nova" dynamic EQ and TDR "Limiter N6".

Full effects list:

ToneLib "GFX"
TDR & VoS "Slick EQ GE"
Tritik "Irid"
Audio Thing "Outer Space"
Audiority "Xenoverb"
Wavesfactory "Cassette"
TRD "Nova"
TDR "Limiter 6 GE"

8 effects and 7 automation tracks in total.

Produced in FL Studio 20.9.2.

This is a meditation on the scenery from my mountain cabin.

"Skumre" is Norwegian for "twilighting" (ie, the dying of the light).

Logic Pro X

By the way, the track photo is the actual view from my cabin.
