Event id #3201 : Crack Intro Music Competition 2022
As long years have passed since the last time, getting officially blessed by Didi/Laxity, I have a great pleasure to launch another edition of Crack Intro Music Competition. Get acquainted with the rules below and let's go!
Basic Info:
- Deadline for entry submission is August 14, 2022 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
- Voting closes one week later at August 21, 2022 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
- Voting platform is CSDb but eventually votes will be processed with a trusty algorithm to weed out CSDb vigilantes as much as possible. No voting system is perfect but god knows I really tried :D
- As usual the main prize is CSDb fame and prestige but this time Top 10 entries will also be compiled as a nice oldschool cracktro themed music disk.
Rules:
- Multiple entries per musician are allowed - no limit here, go with the flow!
- Entry must be handed in as executable .prg (which might be embedded in .t64 or .d64) and optionally .sid. Preferably both ;)
- Max. playtime is strictly up to 1:02 min. at PAL rate, then tune must loop to any desired point. These 2 seconds extra are really the last resort so don't push it ;)
- Max. size is $1000/4096 bytes for music routine and content (preferably located in memory at $1000-$2000).
- Single speed only.
- Tune should sound as acceptable as possible on all SID models so pay attention to filtering and usage of combined waveforms ($31, $61, $71 won't work well on 6581). That said, you may set any SID model you prefer in .sid file but be sure some curious people will check it on various revisions ;)
- Music entries cannot be used in any cracktro or similar production before or during the compo (and its voting phase). So, dear crackers, hold your horses this time ;)
- This time no regular covers are allowed at all. Contestants might make at most a delicate nod to some cult cracktro theme.
- Visuals should be as modest as possible, not to distract voters from the essence which is audio content.
Rule set might expand if compo related discussion leads to it. I hope not :D
Good luck and have fun! |

And here are the
RESULTS!
I'd like to thank all participants for their amazing entries, Booker for all the effort spent on voting backend, Didi for letting me use this noble brand and, finally, all the voters for their time <3
Cheers and see you at the next compo! And stay tuned for promised TOP10 release ;)
BTW, winner totally underserved, what a douche :( |

Congrats to the winner and other participants for their hard work.
Thanks to Jammer for organising.
May I suggest to remove (or upscale) the 1 minute rule the next time? It makes it easier to arrange something, imo. Some speeds just don't work well, even with the extra 2 seconds slack. |

Minute limit was compo staple from the very beginning, I wouldn't go for any revolutions here. You can always do 2nd subtune with full idea ;) |

True, I can extend it for ICC 2022. |

Thank you Jammer for an enjoyable compo, and for doing all the work in the background. It was amazing to hear so many takes on intro music, I honestly have a hard time picking out a favorite. |
