2 days to Forever Party 2014!
<Post edited by CreaMD on 11/3-2014 20:52>
3 days to Forever 2014 - Olympic Edition
Hi Everybody,
Few days ago when Conrad (which is currently using Owen as his artistic handle) confirmed visiting of Forever 15 I had an Idea that it would be cool to have list of confirmed participants for the party... a "lineup". Similar to lineups of performers on shows and music fests. It might increase interest in compo by other when there is someone cool showing up, and generally it increases more buzz than just writing, please send entries and counting numbers of them like I did in past.
So this is a little exeperiment to make the Forever 15 cool an exciting (I hope ;-)
I would like to ask everybody interested in competing in C64 Music, Graphics or 1k Intro compo at Forever to join in and enlist for the show. The music compos will of course be still played anonymously, but it might be nice to know who you are going to be performing with.
I don't ask for demos, I know it's hard to make a quality production, and it's always way cooler to watch them personally or release them on more important parties than on east-european one, but I believe in some 15 years ... if we still make Forever, we might get some more attention. Until then, It would cool if coders accepted the challenge of making 1kb intros[/b[ that kick some serious arse of Speccy and Atari ones, which are usually pretty cool, either funny, or technically brilliant (yes you can make funny and/or cool [b]1kb intro[/b] if you don't believe me, check here http://goo.gl/3ZK0nW ;)
If you accept the challenge and are willing to joing the compos, you can do it here in the forum by signing in for MSX, GFX or 1kn intro compo. All you have to do is yo write ***COMPO, challenge accepted *** using your account, (replace COMPO name by GFX, MSX, or 1k). I will publish the LINEUP on Forever party page, C64.sk and Facebook Event on-fly.
My contact address for compo submission is creamd@c64.sk as always.
thank you for support of Forever 15 - Olympic Edition

Dunno yet about the visit (although it would be cool to have the Slovakian police called upon me once again during the drunken' vicissitudes of the Hungarian bunch :D), but I'm pretty sure I'll compete (with a piece of graphics, that is). What's the deadline? |

Awesomenesss!! Deadline #1. When I'm still home with fast net. early friday morning. Let's say 08:00 AM March 14.
Deadline #2. After I move to the partyplace, I will possibly have some connection there (mobile tethering or how is it called). So you might try to send it on (let's say) 08:00 AM - saturday.
thanx for support guys,

Nice and quite surprising musical commeback from exotic country in Forever line-up. Although just a 2014 remake of his own tune, still a solid thing. Anyone else accepting the challenge? ;-) |

i'm far behind with my sidtune... but i have an idea and i don't know if it's allowed, since it is not mentioned - are cover version allowed or is this a generic no-go? and is there a rough timetable, will i be able to finish at the party if i arrive on friday? |

Finishing stuff at Party is allowed. Deadline is usually around saturday morning. Covers aren't strictly prohibited, although own compositions are usually more appreciated. At least in C64 scene. |

i have thought of maybe remixing vangelis "chariots of fire" since thats the only theme i could think of fitting the party theme. otoh it's lame to pick this tune and it's hard to judge this with a neutral view. so i will try to find a tune on my own :) |

Actually I had the same idea (which I quickly rejected but that lead me to another idea that will be used for party ;), you can try, but making cover (right way) is much harder and time consuming than doing great original tune.
Choosing good tune that you love is one thing, having patience, kreativity and skills to stuff the atmosphere and message into the 3 channels is other thing. ;-) I miserably failed with yet unreleased Theology of Civilisation cover (from the Barbarian (2?) movie) not that it wasn't trying to be accurate, but it was not lively enough and sounded too forced. Same goes for Streets of Philadelphia Cover I did (also unreleased afaik).
Doing great covers is very hard task, and you only have a week ;-))) Try if you want, I don't mind. doing tune thematically entwined with party is a big plus. |
