The C64 Grand Tour Challenge
Hey everyone,
I wanted a new year challenge for 2021. The idea is to compose 1 music per each month of the year. Yeah, it's nothing special, right?
So to spice it up, each month I'm going to use a different editor/player.
Now it sounds like some nice fun that I don't want to keep for myself only.
Composers, join me!
List of editors and rules to follow:
Jan: GMC V2 (GMC V2 (Unfinished))
Feb: SID Factory 2 (PC) (https://blog.chordian.net/sf2/ build 20200911)
Mar: Ninja Tracker 2.04 (C64) (NinjaTracker V2.04)
Apr: Defmon (C64) (defMON V20201008)
May: Goat Tracker 2.75 (PC) (GoatTracker V2.75)
Jun: DMC 7 (C64) (DMC 7.0)
Jul: Virtuoso 1.02 (C64) (Virtuoso V1.02)
Aug: X-SID (C64) (X-SID)
Sep: Cheesecutter 2.9.0 (PC) (CheeseCutter 2.9.0)
Oct: Sosperec 1.0 (C64) (Sosperec Editor V1.0)
Nov: SDI 2.17 (C64) (SID Duzz' It V2.1.7)
Dec: SID-Wizard 1.8 (C64) (SID-Wizard V1.8)
Rules:
- Use the linked version of the actual editor only (compatibility)
- 1 SID, 1x speed only
- Track length: please keep it within the usual limits. Not too short, not too long, make it as long as a regular composition would be.
- 1 track per month with the specified tool
- If the editor saves to a format where player is included, use address $1000
- Deadline: last day of the actual month, at midnight
- Send your projectfiles to: strayboom()gmail()com
I don't plan voting, this supposed to be a motivational-fun-self-challenge only. Do it for your own good or don't do it at all. Still, there will be a progress bar with the completed entries.
If there's enough tracks, I'll make a compilation in a form of musicdisk or music mix, etc.
There might be a huuuuuge - or small - C64 musicdisk release of all tracks at the end of the year/early next year. We'll see.
Sincerely,
vincenzo /Lethargy^Singular^SIDRIP^Rebels^Molecoola |

Yes Frantic, it was definitely an "interesting" experience :)
TL;DR I'm not going to touch Sosperec ever again.

I just wanted to say, that I found this a really great idea and would have wanted to participate if my real life wasn't so "unpredictable" (aka 3 year old daughter) at the moment and it's not a good time to meet monthly "deadlines" [ you can ask by boss about that :P ]...
I have deep respect for you: Vincenzo and NecroPolo delivering great tunes with other trackers every month this year! |

Thanks guys. It's hard and honest work, and of course a tough fight with deadline each month. Still, the experience and the new bits I learned is priceless here.
Early next year we want to release all tracks in a musicdisk format, and hopefully we'll have time to write an article of each editor too.
Spidey, December is SID-Wizard's month, you can still join us! :) |

Ladies and gentlemen, The C64 Grand Tour Challenge is now officially over.
December's releases:
Spider Jerusalem: Late To The Party
NecroPolo: Lilac And Gooseberries
Vincenzo: Stomp Da Bonk
Event page: The C64 Grand Tour Challenge - December 2021
I hereby would like to thank you to everyone who joined and composed a music. It was a hell of a ride for sure, but as proven, it's definitely possible to compose a music per month, with a different editor per month.
The result is 27 tracks overall, it's a nice mixture of, basically everything.
Hope you felt entertained during the whole year, thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Vincenzo, NecroPolo, da Blondie, Jammer and Spider Jerusalem |
