[size=14]Yol Remix Contest[/size]

Posted Image

The night skies and lonely roads have a mystical way of sprouting inspiration in the human heart. What could have been, what never was, what is and will be, these roads lead to an uncertainty within known domains. This path measures a visual flight and the pilot is none other than AxEast hosting the Yol remix contest here at 1am-mediaforums.com

About the contest

Personal note to everyone from AxEast:

Quote:
 
Visited this in 2006, beginning of 2008 and now again. Always in a rush, not able to wrap up but trying to remember. It was about one night when after a long trip I found myself in deep windy forest at around 3:00 am, first time outside the city since 3-4 years by then.

Hope 4:30 mins and on conveys a bit of the big noise and ecstasy that exploded sitting there in silence. The rest is the trip... Untidy, dirty, colorful, tired.

Sort of world type harmony and over-jangling dirt I use a lot; but melodic and hope transparent too. Trips through ambient to sort of progressive house/trance forms. If at some point it makes you think of playing with it a bit or a lot... Great.

I don't know what "Relation To Original" means to you when remixing but the greatest of distances maintaining surprising or subtly felt correlations work lovely on me.

Parts : All 124 bpm sharp, core is on B flat B ramp. Parts I tried to render long for any variety and categorize by prefixes... Most labeled with the source synth etc. they were played at the end. _ext's are processed, cut samples from here and there. Some maybe cut on the tails. Hope you enjoy them if you feel like remixing.


There ya have it. Straight from the horse's... Errr... I mean... The prodigy's mouth.

[size=7]Judging template:[/size]


- Production Quality: --/10

The overall production quality of the mix.

- Originality: --/10

How well the song exhibits a new structure within the same genre or how effective is the jump to a different genre and how well the new structure supports it. New sounds used, chopping, better/unique sequencing etc.

- Relation with the original: --/10

Despite all differences, how well the remix holds on and slutes the original feel/emotion/vibe etc. Content connection to be taken into account as well.

- Overall mix: --/10

All concerns regarding a remix being over repetitious and/or lacking in appeal go here. If a remix is unappealing, this parameter gets lower values. However, since the appeal on any song is subjective, do not be biased by a "first impression". In case you find a mix to be very appealing, you are encouraged to give a good score. If not, in specific cases, it is suggested to borrow a helping hand from logic and try and work out a decent score depending upon the new genre.

Ofcourse, most importantly, the structure of the remix counts.

- Optional parameter(s) to be mentioned by the judge(s): --/10 (each parameter)

Judge(s) are advised to limit this optional parameter to 1 as it lowers any chances of confusion later on. If you feel inclined to add more, no one is stopping you but owing to a common perspective, 1 added parameter should be enough as the most important ones have already been mentioned.

DO NOT use fractional scores using this system. It was made to eliminate such ambiguities. Use full integral scores only.

This will turn out to be an awesome contest and I'll finally get back to my production ways with this remix and with a new dark DnB track I'm preparing that I hope to release through kiddk8's netlabel.

Oh yes and 70 mb's ? I'm currently at a place with only a 56k connection but okay I'm back to my 16mbps ways on monday or tuesday so it'll be download away then.

Good luck to everyone!

hello all ... as for the acid pro pack on a question above : it is sth i won in an ap contest, still in its original packaging. i had one already so recycling the goods :) there's more in the pack as far as I remember ... like a samples CD and a NI Kompakt sampler VST w 100+ instruments etc. it was intended more to be a useful memoir than a "hey look what's on this contest" thingy :) .
hope you enjoy playing w the source material if u are interested.
talk later, be well.

Ah yes. I'm back from Broadcast India 2008. I got to know the new engine was up and running. This monster is gonna take a while to tame.

I'll take a look into it as soon as possible.
