Free For All

It's a FREE FOR ALL this month! That's right -- any style, any genre, any instruments, any time limit! It's all up to you, just follow the rules below. Enjoy!

____________________________________
Submissions MUST follow these rules:

1 - Encoded in either .mp3 or .ogg format.

2 - No time limit this month!

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.

Providers:
2 - watto
3 - slartibartfast

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

4 - Submitted by early a.m. (US Central Time) Sunday, April 28 .

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 "1903_Lemaître_BigBangThis.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 - No resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. Please PM me for permission.

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, May 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 drapostrophex (that's me, Victor!) or ask in the gossip thread. There's a good chance I'll answer eventually!

Seems to me that this one is kind of jazzy. Dunno if Nu Jazz is the right label ?

Enjoy!

I'd best stop f**king about with this now now before the komputer blows up and I disappear into some nebulous effects miasma...quite a lot going on in this, even by my own ludicrous standards...I wrote the main jangle riff (ok, Roger McGuinn wrote it in the 60s :hihi: ) ages ago and used it in some throwaway 'Big-Beat' contest entry on the FL board, but it's too good a jangle for that, so here it is in a much more suitable thingy.

Sort of some possibly ill advised hybrid of The Byrds, New Order and Hawkwind...bit of politics about the current nutters here in Blighty, and that's the gamble...

The cornucopia;

Revelation Bass VI
Revelation 12 string electric
Epiphone 6 string acoustic
Gear4music 12 string acoustic
Line 6 Variax in acoustic 'j200' mode
Addictive drums
Geforce Mtron pro x2
Geforce Minimonsta x2 (Sinthesiser! I even moved some of the controls...)

Time for bed...

Recorded the crowd as I got out of my car at Walmart.
Fender Squire DI and Guitar Rig 5
SDGR Bass through Ampeg SVT Classic amp and 8x10 cab
DI run through Guitar Rig 5
Hella drums triggered from colored pads on my MPK225 through GrooveAgent Metal Kit. They sound HORRIBLE! :)
Didn't want to spend to much time on this since I'm not even sure I like the idea of it. Kindda rockin cheese.

Leaves are falling - lyrics

Didn't wanna give up, be one of a kind
always had an exit within reach
sunny occupations wasn't hard to find
for I was living on a beach

Summertime illusions wouldn't stay
I was getting fed up anyway

Leaves are falling
teardrops on my window
and I wonder
what it is to fall
a summer ended
and someone was betrayed

But I never granted that
game is over

No more hesitation, never gonna pay
would I want to give in to a cheat?
still I cannot get it, why I have to play
with people whom I have to beat

Life is somewhat different today
everything is naked in a way

Leaves are falling
teardrops on my window
and I wonder
what it is to fall
a summer ended
and someone was betrayed

must be curtains falling
concepts getting hollow
and I wonder – is this really all
an endless season
an image of a the past

Just finished this today. Figured I'd give it a shot this month.

Still Out Of Sync

I'm not right in the head
Some would say I'm better off dead
Teachers try to explain
What is wrong with my brain

Round and round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows
Please try not to blink
I'm still out of sync

I've been this way for years
Helps to ease the pain of my tears
Head shrinks claim I'm okay
But I'm here again today

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental Break

Maybe I can get well
Either that or end up in hell
Choices that we all make
Time to give and time to take

Repeat Chorus

Out of sync
Out of sync
Out of sync
Out of sync
