ENTRIES: What’s Up Cover und Remix Compo

Rules:

Source material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NXnxTNIWkc

Song lyrics: https://www.metrolyrics.com/whats-up-lyrics-4-non-blondes.html

Basic rules

0. As title of compo says. It's compo of remix and covers - any creative approach to the original material.
1. Max 1 tune per musician. Other attempts will go to "released outside compo section" you decide which one. If you make another tune. You can replace previous entry by new tune. You can't undo this later.

It's good. But it's just one way how to handle that song. Light on mood. Can be done better. Or worse. Or totally different. ;-))))

I'm not erasing this compo.
1. There isn't only one approach to making a cover/remix of anything.
2. Even in the category of "faithfulness" it's not the best that could be done. But maybe I'm wrong and he was limited by tempo constraints based on 50 hz, that should be researched though.
3. I'm serious and I hope challenge will be accepted. And yeah, I have fun at the same time. That's the way how I love it.

I’m quite happy that this compo exists, but... why? Is there a joke that I’m allowed to be in on, or will I just have to settle for the basic fact that the idea of a bunch of ‘What’s Up?’ covers/remixes appearing on CSDb = funny and weird?

There is a fair chance for impressive tunes. There is a lot of skilled and playfully crazy musicians around. Also, making new material of old material is part of creative process.

Depends on how you handle them. If they are delicate. No problem, but if there is smell of low freq all over the place and speakers cry from pain, you should rather stick to pure analog.

... exactly the first thing that came to my mind was Rambo compo.
Rambo theme no matter how cheese it was, it was a lot of fun to do entries for (at least for me). I expect this one (same cheesy) theme to bring some nice ideas as well.

this tune brings so many memories from when we were 18 ;)

go, go SID wizards!

Depends on how much actual creative composing, arranging or mixing will be involved in final track. As with any msx compo I have organized, an actual listeneable and cool music is expected to be participating. It's a serious music compo after all. If you can't put together awesome music and just want to release something for whatever reason, entry can still be released as of compo anyway.

Also. Can it be turned to .sid? Is the simplest denominator.

.SID as requirement makes sense, btw normally no big deal to turn samples into that format. Being afraid of compo kiling samples per se / entries not being creative enough for whatever reason etc doesn't make much sense imho, however. Voters normally will have a good sense for whether something is just hunted through some digitizer or contains well-made samples and yet is cool art.

Exactly. That's why I'm not against music using samples. It's still music and can be judged as that.

You can make as many tunes as you want. All you have to decide (it's cruel I know) which one will compete. The others will be listed off compo. One thing I can allow. When anynone makes another tune, he can decide then if the previous one stays, or new one is entered into the compo. But if that happens, it stays there until next tune comes, and he can then only add new, or the old one stays. I think it's fair ;-)

Are you sure you are coming up with more than one anyway? Let's hear ;-)

Reminder for everyone. Deadline today 23:59:59. Voting until tommorow 23:59. (30.11.2019)

PLEASE VOTE

REQUESTS/INSTRUCTIOS
1. Please everyone who voted, cast vote for all participating tunes.
2. If you know anyone (C64/SID positive) who didn't vote, tell them to check the compo and vote for their faves at least. Thanks.
3. If you didn't vote yet, please vote. More votes, more fair results.

Thanx everyone.

RESULTS CALCULATION:
I will (try) to remove all votes from participating musicians from the equation (let's hope there will be still enough votes). I will carefuly analyse if any of the votes (this is the only situation I will be glad there won't be many votes then ;-)) might be cause by "animosities" or "teaming". If I'm spotting anything like that, I will do what I think is fair. I will make final ranking and and add reulting places to all tunes.

SPECIAL BONUS (I like to have fun...)

Tommorow I'm planning to have listening session with my two kids. Karin 8 and Miriam, she will be 13 on Sunday. I will be using standard 1-9 voting system all of us three will vote. I will (add my votes to CSDB of course). I will calculate special "results based on our votes" plus I will try to note down most interesting comments by my kids. Let's hope they will cooperate ;-).

Hey yeah yeaaah!

So in essence you'll be cherry picking the scores to your own liking.

At least I'm openly explaining what exactly I'm going to do. Which doesn't necessarily mean any of the votes will be removed from equation. It just means I'm checking all votes before counting. Did you have some votes that express your relation to author of tune more than opinion about music? That kind of votes.

Also removing votes from other participating that still depends on whether there is enough votes.

CSDB voting system isn't perfect for fair compo organizing, because there isn't equal ammount voters and votes. Also there isn't any real ranking/ordering involved. Also as a voter can't afford to give let's sat 3 to the least interesting tune here. Where I would do that in music compo with completely anonymous voting that would be compiled to results and thrown away after compo. In the end you need to order your voting sheet somehow, from best to worst. But here on CSDB? Not possible without someone complaining about it. Also not fair in general, because the vote should be only counted in context of the compo and separatedly from long term CSDB votes.

"Results will be based on CSDB votes."

I didn't write anything about CSDB ratings.

My compo. My rules. My supervision. I organized many music compos, and counted votes on few parties. I never manipulated votes for anyones benefit ever. All I did was removing attempts to manipulate results(simplest example 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,9,1 and so on). And I reserve the right to check "what's going on" in voting in this compo too.

have a nice weekend, everybody,

The voting drama is hilarious; I think CreaMD was pretty clear from the outset that the only thing he was promising about CSDb votes was that they would have some unspecified impact on his final ranking.

Anyway, thanks for kicking this one off CreaMD; the early entries made for pretty entertaining listening one way or another and I'm looking forward to checking out (and voting on!) the rest.

Thanks CreaMD for organising this fun competition, and for tolerating my very silly sample-based effort. So many great, creative entries, but I think I’m backing Psych858o to take 1st for his gorgeous, almost shoegaze-y interpretation. Whatever the result, at least my tune will win the coveted status of ‘Donkiest SID’; no one can take that away from me. Donk donk donk.

I can imagine demo timing/designs parodizing that cclassic "blue oyster" monent moment and I can also imagine it as running joke through demos from varios groups. Still npt atrong enpugh for music compo I think. General "tango" theme could work better.

What I really miss on c64 are epic heroic theme tunes/covers. Like for example avengers theme, pirates of carribean, how to train of dragon, kung fu panda 3 Kai's theme Pacific Rim theme and such. Simply epic/heroic motives that give you goosebumps when they start playing in the right moment. E.g. avengers worked quite well with that.

So in essence you'll be cherry picking the scores to your own liking.


Far from it - redundant drama imho :) CreamD was quite specific that he trims only contestants' votes if any. I find it fair but not perfect - musicians have friends/groupies after all ;) I leave it up to org whatever comes :)
What you (and many others) don't seem to see here (I didn't notice it up until now either) is that CreamD is a moderator. He mentioned removing contestants from the votes. Meaning, he will be using his moderator privileges for other things than moderation of forum posts, comments and admin stuff. He suggested earlier on about removing votes he thinks would be inappropriate. He even told Wacek not to worry for his entry being at the bottom since he would look into it himself. Knowing that CreamD, as a moderator, can see how people vote influences voting behaviour by the voters because of likely repercussions (removing your vote). That's why anonymous voting is mandatory for any event and moderators shouldn't be allowed to view the votes of users.

Abusing moderator privileges should be a big NO NO on CSDb. It's a sliding scale if it is allowed to happen. It damages trust in our beloved moderators while most of them do their utmost investing in trust with the end user and keeping this site going.

Seriously, someone should revoke CreamD's moderator privileges if he's actually going through with using his moderator privileges to look up how people voted in order to remove the votes of the contestants and the voters he deems to be 'friends' or 'foes' of the contestant.

Removing votes means not counting them when calculating results. I'm going to abuse my moderator right to collect votes and calculate results in excel sheet.

I sense sarcasm in your second paragraph.

Sadly, there is no such tool available. (Look. I speak sarcasm too.)

-------

In PM I sent you I have politely asked you to not to remove your votes and rather vote for the rest of the tunes. It's because I intended to use all of your votes.

And now you answer this way. You are mean. But I forgive you.

I also forgive Krill for his passive aggressive comments. You probably debated me? over IRC or somehting? I don't know. I'm just guessing. It's okay. I love you guys. I mean, seriously. I love you. :-p

have a nice evening,

Roman

I love this kind of music for it's potential to create strong emotional reaction. ;-) But yeah, musicians who make you cry or shiver are evil! ;-)

Just make voting mandatory for all CSDb accounts not participating. No votes -> account locked. That will surely stop all drama.

Hm. I don't get the voting concept. I just made sure that I voted on all entries except my own - if CSDb votes are even counted (?) ... I'd say: let your kids decide ;-)

Anyway: Was really nice too have so much good creative outcome in this "fun compo" :-)

Spider, you are right. I will Just check for self votes (I don't expect any anyway ;-) There are too few votes (about 20-30) per entry and if I removed everyone who participated that would probably generate completely different results. Also I didn't find any anomalies anywehre. So results wont differ much from the CSDB ratings it seems. ;-)

And, thank you.

Oh noooo, for all my talk above about finding CreaMD's rules easy to read, I completely missed that the voting deadline was the same as the entry deadline. I have disenfranchised myself :'(

Ah well, I wasn't going to make much of a difference it seems. Must admit, I thought Dane's entry was a clear leader right up to the point I listened to Shogoon's Prelude & Fugato, which was just incredible. A well deserved win!

CreaMD, your kids have excellent taste.

Thanks to all the entrants, it's been quite a ride listening to them all today. I'll get my ratings in over the next day or so in any case.

Entry deadline = Voting deadline seems a little silly, however if we take into account that there WAS a last minute entry ^^

otherwise what Compyx says, though it will be a little lonely here with only Joe and me around.
