Event id #2312 : Je suis #Linus music compo
Compo's premise is as simple as that:
You 'just' have to create a tune which imitates Linus' trademark sounds and ideas. Seems simple but it's not :D
There is only one rule - Linus himself cannot participate! (No wonder, huh? Still, I can and other MSL guys can too, eh eh :P) Naturally, he can vote for all contestants :D
Apart from that all composers have total freedom regarding entries' number, playtime, speed, editor, executability etc. - all in all it shall be judged by the people and results will be based on average of Linus' CSDb vote and other CSDb votes to make it more spicy ;)
I guess it might be great introduction to whole compo series covering all musicians. Have fun!
edit:
Having thought a little more on the subject I've decided to add one quite necessary rule - GT composers cannot use original Linus' GT worktunes if they are luckily in possession of any. I guess it would be as aimless here as imitating Hubbard in his own player with stock instruments :D |

I wouldn't bother otherwise :D Crying that you cannot be in? :D
Speaking of SID dumps and similar tools - if some of composers preffer this kind of effort and workflow - it's your call but I assume that doing everything by ear is more of a challenge and fun ;) |

So basically you can take ANY tune you ever did - dub it "Linus styled (distant future)" and participate? As there are no other rules and nobody is going to enforce any rules, hm?
I'd rather turn Linus in and make him a judge for such cases :)
.oO( What would a JSL gfx cover compo horrify us with? THAT would be interesting. ) |

I would forget - it's not by any means a remix compo, just to make it clear for everyone. The goal is not to rework existing Linus' tune with your usual sounds but quite the opposite ;) Of course some delicate hints of his original themes might be a really nice addition. |

I haven't lost my virginity, yet. According to old Zeidlords observance we are allowed to practise sexual intercourse after the divorce. I have no idea when/if that's going to happen :( Meanwhile I'll keep on goattrucking(*) in ole Grandma's basement, where I live.

I believe that Linus really wants to do easy, light and beautiful melodic compositions, but has to fight his wicked alter ego who just wants to go *booom booom* *skreeeeeek*.
Sitting in front of his goattracker he thinks: "....must.....resist.." while his fingers subconsciously write another record low bassnote. |

Indeed but who are we to judge people by this? I guess it affects his music only in a good way. Tough moments in MSL from time to time but we are really forgiving, compassionate and understand the issue. |

I don't understand... Jammer write " Buddha's tunes are really interesting but out of topic in fact" and i mean my song "Wacek GMC vc Jammer GT", so song called "On the Road Once Again by MCH" is supposed to imitate Linus' trademarks ? I often hear Linus listening to jazz-funky music style :/ I don't know ... |

it seems to me that this compo is only for those who are in better groups or for good coders ? :D ...and maybe that's why no one else wants to start here in your ccompo. Indeed Hein recalls the style of some linus songs of his works, so it should be only one here? |

It seems to me like you are taking things too serious. Your second tune was a lot more 'Linus' like and people like it.
There are just not many other people that can do sounds like that and also have the time to do crazy cool sids and enter a competition like this which is just for fun...
The tune by MCH almost sounds like a cover of the sidtune with almost the same name: no wonder people think it sounds like Linus.
Just think of it this way; you released 2 tunes. People heared them. People liked them, and discussed them more then the avarage production on csdb. Enjoy! :) |

Buddha, the most important thing is you having fun during compo. It was only my personal opinion as I intended this competition to be tribute to Linus. But it means no dead serious implication - it's your choice what to compete with ;) And your tunes are really, really nice ;] We're not dogs to bite you around here :D |
