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. |

As a tune, Scarzix' entry is my favourite, but based on the ambient theme, I'd say any of the MultiStyle Labs participants wins. Difficult to choose one winner from those, though. The soundscapes are all incredible and inspiring.
If I participated, I would've made it fluffy and friendly with little mechanical and harsh sounds, since that's my prefered type of ambient. Maybe next time. |

Why all these "this isnt a real compo tune" comments? I read the rules before I did my entry:
"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."
- so I decided to be inspired by Delta, Parallax, Lightforce to name some of my real alltime favorites and thought this was the time to try to use stereo SID with the new Beta of CheeseCutter 2SID.
Secondly, my goal was to make a long and loopable ambient chill-out tune that wouldnt become annoying in my ears after second loop aka something I might want to hear for hours...and infact I did friday, as I had the nice Zynaps player running while the timer hit 99:59 twice...
I cant seriously understand these negative vibes from you guys? it was stated as an ambient themed music compo where we could go out of the box... and to be honest, I spend two nights... and I think I delivered... so whats your problem? |

I am happy with all the entries of the compo, they fit the given parameters.
Regarding individual opinions about what is ambient: It is not about who is right or wrong, it is about different tastes as it should.
Next competition about Jazz? :) Let's see who can define that. :) |
