The Autumn Music Competition Thread

[miniGMgoit]

Well its there now so lets not have anymore of this nonsense.

Anyone got anything good in the pipe line. I for have not done anything in anges as my computer doesnt like me anymore. It keeps skipping and jumping. Its being a bastard. Plus its very busy downloading stuff.

Never mind though. It usually only takes me a day to make a track anyway.

Ok change of entry in memory of the late John Peel.

Home Truths

So when is the closing date?

 

[Th3 Saint]

Hi guys. I support the John Peel theme even thou I won't be making an entry. I'll be playing my music on the inside!

I'm off to India for 6 months on Monday, so you won't get much from me til next April/May.

Thou one of my tracks has been selected to be included on a compilation CD to be put out by Kid Antrim Music in the states next year. This will be distributed to record labels and radio stations that are receptive to new acts etc.

So with any luck by the time I return from India I'll be a published artist!

I'll try to get online and download tracks in order to vote, but that didn't work out when I was in Spain using my brothers pc... So I can't imagine my chances using some dodgy cyber cafe machine!

Good luck with the compo guys.

Peace out

Th3 Saint

churchjam.mp3 (3.3MB)

I'm not sure that it's much of a tribute to JP but it's a couple of mates and I who got together the other weekend and had a bit of a jam, and I've then attempted to fuck around with it in Reason. It's rough as fuck, the sync needs sorting out, it needs to be.. better - I'd appreciate any feedback, I'm not sure what to do with it, whether to make it all digital or maybe orchestral or punk or what. What would you do with it?

 

[kakuma]

if your still here 3saint well done for getting to go to india nad getting a tune published

i'm really glad to hear about a top bloke doing well

 

[Th3 Saint]

Hey Ninjaboy.

Still here mate! Thanks for your kind sentiments (sniff sniff)

Tis a good feeling to have this amazing talent recognised (finar finar)

Lets hope I'll make it big and can hire half of the urban music compo as guest producers on fourthcoming albums! Well it'd be nice to share the wealth!

I'll be eating Dahl and drinking Bhang lassi for the boys! Think of me when you next go for a balti... And think that I'll probably be eating a shitty second rate substitute, complete with free delhi-belly... But I'LL BE IN INDIA! HAHAHA!!!!

It's all Charis, Yoga and new age mantras from here on out (here's to shagging hippy chicks!)

Thread derailment over...
Now get your sorry asses back to making music, damnit!

 

[miniGMgoit]

Hows everyone getting on then? I'm not having much luck at the moment due to general crazyness. Ive been planning a small holiday and theres a move of house growing ever closer. Add to that job interviews a plenty, and well things arent going as well as they could be as far as the music comp goes.

Also my computer is shagged. I think he may be about to die on me to be honest. Oh well. its a good excuse to buy a new one.

 

[kakuma]

i've got a cold

but the link to my song works, it's just cos soundsclick keeps breaking down

btw does anyone know a better hosting site?

 

[hiccup]

Hows everyone getting on then? ...

Well I've spent a few hours playing around with Reason tonight, and I've ended up with, oooh, 2 bars of music that I actually like. Oh, and I found quite a nice drum loop that I'm considering nicking in its entirety. But really it's all been a bit frustrating, so I'm going to bed in a sulk. Hopefully inspiration will arrive tomorrow.

Myspace.com is very reliable but a bit shit. I prefer it to soundclick though.

Still planning on entering, will definitely be finished by end of the month. Wanderer's very kindly agreed to host it for me so all's good.

 

[Moggy]

My entry is nigh on completion, been out of action lately due to various things, voting starts at the end of the month and everyones satisfied no one wants to make any 'last minute entries'

Yep, that's quality. Get it released.

 

[chooch]

Why can't I fucking finish ANYTHING?

***hiccup posting***

Why can't I fucking finish ANYTHING?

I'm having the same problem. But I will get something finished by the end of the month.



I really must check who's logged in on this 'puter before I post

 

[Moggy]

Why can't I fucking finish ANYTHING?

Tell me about it

 

[Rodders]

the track i've submitted was done over two years ago, and i would say even that isn't truly finished. i don't actually think i've finished anything else since either

cheers for the thumbs up btw!

 

[top_biller]

Right, I've finished mine (well, it'll do for now). I've had to convert it at 128kps not 192 as suggested, so it's under 10mb for emailing purposes. Will it still sound ok?

Now who'll be kind enough to host it for me? Wanderer's offered but not sure he'll read this by the closing date and I'm away from a computer till Tuesday. Help appreciated.
