Event id #2288 : Ambient SID music competition
Your mission Jim, if you choose to accept it:
Create an ambient soundscape or composition for the SID.
The minimum length of the work is 12 minutes.
The tune must be delivered in an executable format and run on c-64. Single SID preferred, use multi-sid if you must, but we need to be able to run it on one of our devices.
For inspiration, listen to ambiences or ingame soundtracks of favourite games, such as black lamp, delta ingame, miami vice, tai pan and so forth. Be creative, forget the usual forms.
Use music, use sounds, use sound effects, generate music algorithmically if you can.
On the weekend of 9-11 of January 2015 we'll have a weekend of SID music with friends and we're planning on broadcasting the soundtrack of the event over the internet and we'll broadcast all the competition entries in their entirety.
Submit your entry to CSDB, link to the event, and vote by the rules of csdb. Status of the voting in the evening of 9th of January 2015 will determine the winner.
Winner shall have fame and special place in our hearts. |

Two questions:
1. How many entries per scener?
2. If it's 2/multi SID, will it be played in MONO output? |

We have a full weekend to fill with sid-music, so no limit on number of entries per author, but please, do not abuse our good faith by flooding the competition. :)
The actual broadcast situation may always cause surprises.
We have both stereo and mono dualsid platforms available and of course 6581/8580's of many sorts.
If you can identify the intended setup for the composition, we'll do our best to match it. |

Nice! I've got a tune draft lying around for ages that will fit just perfect. |

Cool...but...vote by the rules of CSDB? This site has voting fucked up by definition mrrrh I'd kindly suggest make own voting system like CreamD did years ago for his compos. That's the way to go imho. |

I would change minimum time to e.g. 6 minutes. I'm not really sure if many people would like to listen to each 12 minutes long tune :D |

Quoting JammerI would change minimum time to e.g. 6 minutes. I'm not really sure if many people would like to listen to each 12 minutes long tune :D
probably good idea 6 mins,
30 tunes like this and the stream will take 6 hours, the audience will get killed somewhere close to x2012 :D
Not to mention ppl are expected to vote and listen to this too :D
but also singe/dual sid tunes guys, there's a significant advantage in using 2SID by those who knows what to do with it (esp in mono mode, Conrad is already mentioning this :D)
so, if there would be a lot of both, then probably two separate categories will work better. |

I believe this is my "cue" to get started with CheeseCutter 2.7 DUAL-SID BETA...
Hell yeah! Let's make some vibes. |

6 minutes is enough.
Mixer, once again thanks for organizing this compo. Ambient is something that is for sure in my taste ;) |
