Open Challenge #1: The People's Choice POLL

[PHeMoX]

Welcome to Open Challenge! (tm)

The task -
Use all your powers, all your hijacked alien technology, all your ancient wisdom, to make some crazy beats!

The topic is:"Space Time Discontinuity"
Here's a few samples which you might like to use.. Dont feel you need to only use these though.. In fact don't feel you need to use these at all if you dont want to.. The break is provided just in case for some reason you lost all your drum samples in a house fire or customs seized them or something:

Alright, I think it's poll time!! Because of the holiday season I'm not so sure how long I should run this poll, so for now it will be endless.


The beats:

Its quite close, i like both songs, Phemox for his peter gabrielesque song, and |||||s darker, roland space echo treated tune. But as far as drums go, i find them both kind of dull, in terms of sound and programming. ||||| has got some glitches in his beat, on purpose or not hard to say, but it makes me vote in favor of Phemox

[IIIII]

i like phemox's as well. think more people should participate in this next time!

[PHeMoX]

Thanks a lot. I had a hard time choosing here, I definitely liked both beats a lot. (I'm obviously not voting for myself. )

Hopefully when summer holidays are over, more people can enter in these side battles?

Oh, by the way, something I had wondered, what equipment or software did you guys use as this was 'open' to more than just the SP. I used my MV and also my guitar to record a riff that I reversed and looped. Other than that it's mainly made with internal samples and some patches of my own.

[Øyenstikker]

just the samples thru my sp-606. im just using the battles to get familiar with the features.

OH shit!! Forgot about this hahaha...

sorry!

Listening to the entries now.


All awesome!!
Gunna have to vote for IIIII... like the tune, and solid snake samples win me over!

Let's have a new one soon, I promise I wont forget/take unexpected interstate holidays this time

I have a different idea for the generation of themes... to make it a bit more fun/interesting -
Each person that wants to enter suggests a single word - the combination of everyone's words becomes the theme

fucking 5eyez...


When does the next one starts?

[cartesia]

sweet. but did i win? i didn't ingest that many drugs...

well, I think its safe to say, you won the people's choice... I think the actual competition will result in a dead heat.... due to lack of evidence.

Let's try another one!
