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. |

Whooee totally missed this compo!
Listening whole morning, amazing stuff!
All very clever done indeed! Twelve minutes is not what you do every day, atleast I don't.
Scarzix: thumbs up, great job and congratulations! (mij favorite tune and editor aswell;))
Linus: Great sounding and building up tricky versatile ambience.. top notch (-:P
In general I would do a tiny bit of things different and using more arps...
Also when having six tracks to your desposal I would have loved more synthesized chord structures...
But that just me since I am a chord-nerd ;D |

Nice compo.
But atleast the top tunes doesnt really sound good in an emulator. I will change some settings to see if it will be better. |

I think it was an interesting set of rules and fun to see how we all interprete them.
Regarding 6 channels and chords, true...next time I might start three days before deadline ;-)
Regarding how to listen to Singularity, I decided to go away from my usual principles of pure and raw C64 so why not push the new options to next level... my composing therefore suffers from being rather bad i. a headset without realtime halleffect/mixing of the left and right side. but if you have a good set of speakers or surround headset as I have the tune really becomes alive.. at least thats how I designed it.
I know, this is sort of making VSP effects that can only run on certain hardware etc. sorry about that, but I really wanted to push the stereo effects further than I have tried before. Really happy that so many liked it. Thanks for that.
I can promise this is not the last stereo SID tune from my side... maybe compo rules wont allow it, but Then I will find other usages for them, so dont mind me. ;-)
btw. I have never seen so fast feedback on soundcloud regarding amounts of plays and likes in so few days for any previous tunes... I guess I got really lucky with this one.
Thanks to Mixer to force me to these rules. it was top fun to force myself to apply the rules on my own composing, aka... making an ultra long and still loopable and not too boring tune... I prefere to listen to tunes that can be looped without annoying me.
and Hein, yes I am serious when I go in for a music compo... otherwise there is no nerve or love in my composing... ;-)
lets have fun... and do more cool stuff... so Jazz/porn/elevatoraction/wizball tunes are next? |

For some reason we used to call pr0n videos "Danish Westerns" in Northern Germany in the 80s :D |

As this compo is almost 5 years old - how is the interest here in doing another one, with the same rules? |
