Mix Challenge

The material given for the competition to use was so unharmonious and a melody would never make any good with the given chord sequence material. So I'm very glad that you did not even try, and kept it with the chords. It would have disturbed more than make it good earcandy. OK, weird, my previous r...

Judgement Day is upon us! Dasein - Night Peace Sound Design - Reasonable, but not very live-feeling. Some of the elements feel rather static, like the piano tones. Overall, not bad. Harmony - Not bad. It flows logically without being particularly dramatic. Melody - A trifle scattered, but I like the...

OK, this is a bit of a saga. I looked at the theme, and thought of space ... and earth, which is also in view. This brought to mind the phrase: "Spaceship Earth" and this planet's limitations which, in a small way, are echoed in the weaknesses of spacefaring technology - and the limited li...

Congratulations to the winners! Well earned, well deserved.

Koekepan "Misguided Meditations" Very original theme. The voice is really part of the instrumentation of the song. I'm sorry but I can't comment on the lyrics of what this voice is saying, due to the distortion (very accurate) and my poor knowledge of the language (you know, I use the tra...

Koekepan: Misguided Meditations First off, I love the originality of this track. The distorted narrative under the music.

Time for judgement. Here follow my comments and general tiering. burakxmusic "Echoes In The Night" Sound Design: Solid derivations of modern dance/pop sounds, and nicely delivered vocals. Harmony: Straightforward, but nothing wrong with that. Melody: Pleasant, good voice leading but withou...

Just under the wire! My submission this time is at https://files.catbox.moe/v93qvb.zip I decided to slip outside my comfort zone with some Dub Techno this time. To do this, here was my setup: Sequencer: Social Entropy Engine Synthesis: - Behringer Neutron (bass) - Behringer Pro-1 (arp) - Roland JP-0...

For me the hardest musical part was capturing, not the original sound that I remember, but how it is represented retrospectively. This is a different challenge, and one that has its own subtleties. Arelem - Glass Alloy Sonic: A patchwork of things that belong in the '80s, and things that belong in t...
