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 with 1 entry and 1 collaboration with one other person.

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.

My clothes are what ever color was cheap. There is no color that I favor I dare say. So for the sake of record let me say this is the dim light blue of evening sky in the higher latitudes in summer with a last faint band of the pink on the horizon.

I intended this would have been a strickt canon but then I broke the lines in pieces and hung them up here and there however.

Harvest Gold

With this track I was going for an early seventies sound (as I often do). Back then the color harvest gold was very popular, along with light avocado green (#B2C248). These also happen to be my favorite colors. I picked Harvest Gold for the song title because it has a nice ring to it.

Plugins

Code: Select all

Ample Guitar RB (Rickenbacker 330)    | Effect: Nembrini Hivolt 103 (Hiwatt DR103), left channel
                                                GSi Rotary, right channel
Ample Bass TR6 (Yamaha 6 string bass) | Effect: Default Ample Sound amp
Addictive Drums 2
EastWest Gypsy violin                 | Effect: Kuassa wah.
Linplug Saxlab                        | Effect: Audiothing Outerspace delay (Roland Space Echo).
Arturia Vox Continental V             | Effect: Kuassa fuzz.

Personally I cannot think of a piece of music with multiple instruments as a single color. After all each instrument adds its own color to the musical palette.

In my mind I see the following colors for these instruments including their effects.

Guitar: dark slate blue
Bass: sienna brown
Violin: harvest gold
Sax: avocado green
Fuzz organ: tomato red
Drums: fifty shades of grey

Well I had bought this great synth plugin blue 3 from Rob Papen, so I jumped on the occasion to make a track using it following pretty much OSC rules.
So here's that underwater strange journey, it was a pain to keep under 3 minutes...

And the mp3 download link :
https://kdrive.infomaniak.com/app/share ... 45ae61446a

I used bitwig 5, There are 6 BlueIII instances and the 3 drums are microtonic.
For mixing I used apqualizer, apunmask, DSEQ, fircomp, presswerk, Spectre, Valhalla Supermassive and vintage verb as well as panagement

I had a great time making this one, hope you'll like it too !
