Congrats, Lft! Your tune is indeed awesome!
Apart from that I think it's a shame that only 7 people seem to have voted using the (cumbersome) external form.
Also in my opinion Mermaid should have been placed much higher, because she had the best entries. And three of them, wherever she finds time to be so productive. ;) |

Nice work everyone, and thanks for organising JEFF.
I'm pretty happy with last place TBH, the field was astoundingly good and I *still* managed a CSDb score of 7 in that context :D |

So did I. And I also voted for the tunes in the context of their success of meeting and improving upon the compo theme - that is having an interesting (and maybe unortodox/unexpected) approach to time signatures; and not only their overall "likability" or even the sole expressiveness of their sounds.
I for myself tried to pack the 5/4 signature (and 10/8 if you are strict) in a subtle way into the beat so that the listener doesn't even have to notice it while grooving along.. So it just feels a bit different. ;) |

| Karmic: I'm afraid I've ruined your plans by giving 1 to both disqualified tunes - since I wasn't sure what to do about them. |
User Comment
Submitted by Karmic on 14 March 2016
I planned to also release the scores of the disqualified tunes to see what score they would've got if they didn't break the rules.
So don't worry, they won't be counted in the official compo results :) |

| I'm trying to fill out the vote sheet, but so far I've run into two tunes that aren't actually in the compo: Bird Beak (too short) and Go Easy On (4/4 tempo). What should I do? Will the votes for those 2 tunes be ignored? |

User Comment

Oh wait, the deadline was this morning? I was hoping to complete my entry this afternoon.
Happy either way (I really should have asked for an time of day/timezone earlier), but a clarification would be good so I can work out whether to continue working over the next few hours or just do an "out of compo" release in a few days. |

User Comment

Karmic, imho that doesn't make much sense as the listener can interpret a time signature in different ways.
E.g., is it 7/4 + 7/4 + 3/4 or 17/8? =D Also, what about polyrhythms? Voice 1 plays a melody in 9/8 while voice 2 runs a straight 4/4 beat. Yep, I am indeed exaggerating a bit here .oO(maybe ...), but your rule to never use a 4/4 creates all sorts of problems and it certainly complicates things unnecessarily.
I wouldn't be too strict in that regard, really, it'll only hurt the compo. Let common sense decide and not count a bar or two that *may* contain hints of a straight time signature somewhere.
Just my 2 cents :) That being said, looking forward to the entries, thanks for your effort, Karmic! |

| tlr: I don't really care how many time signatures you use in a tune, as long as you never use 3/4 or 4/4. |

| GH: 7/8 - can be quite funky... :D |
User Comment
Submitted by tlr on 25 January 2016
Does it have to be the same time signature throughout the song?
If not, can it be 4/4 or 3/4 for a few bars here and there as long as the major part isn't? |

| Why am I not surprised to see Linus liking this? Anyway, a theme as nice as any for a compo I guess. :D |

| Is a 6/8 time signature ok to use? I guess that's the "most common" non-standard time signature there is, and I guess it's pleasant to listen to even with untrained ears :) |

The main concept of this compo is, of course, to make a tune using a nonstandard time signature!
You have until February 23 to compose your tune. After that period, Ill release the votesheet and youll have until March 1 to vote.
Rules:
- Tunes may not use a 4/4 or 3/4 time signature.
- Tunes must be at least 2 minutes long in PAL speed.
- Composers can submit a maximum of 3 tunes.
- No covers.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. |
