Last Minute, Half-assed Halloween Compo! :panic:

:panic: YES, THAT’S RIGHT! A last minute, shits-n-giggles compo for all you Renoisers! :panic:

Rules:

Have fun everyone :)

Wohoo!! the smiley in the topic didn’t show!! I RULE! :P

FIRST ENTRY RECIEVED! … hopefully, we’ll have more than one, so that there’s actually some competition :P

Are you telling me that people are more interested in the worlds highest website then a halloween compo?! COME ON PEOPLE!!! WHERE’S YOUR SENSE OF FUN!!!

Just you wait, son. Just you wait… muahahahahaha!

2 Days left! :P

Luckily, I’ve recieved a whole bunch of entries from the chaps over at CTGMusic… shame on you Renoisers for having no halloween/compo spirit! :P

My compo ethics suck as I just mailed you (or am still mailing) something I did several months ago.
But it’s an entry, feel free to disqualify but you didn’t specify that it had to be NEW in your rules! :P

Oh wait… unempty submitted an interesting one…

that’s fine… some CTGers submitted premade ones… I’m being pretty lax with this compo

2 hours left as of this post! Hurry up! :P

Though technically acording to the forum, it’s already over… will have results up later tomorow perhaps

Here are the results! (~67mb)

Composer – Creepiness Score

Unempty – 10
Trepain – 9
Ex (AKA Crazyman) – 9
Partysan – 9
Ceekayed – 8
Sagosen – 7
Storm 3003 – 6
m0d – 6
zepsi – 5
Tyr – 5
redheat – 4
slammy – 4
Xa – WTF

Just to clarify, I used “m0d” to signify “It’s Halloween Again” and redheat to signify “Ponderance of Pie”

Don’t you mean ~65mb? :P :D

For a moment there I wondered if everyone had submitted spooky chip tunes or something.

.

Oh my… right you are! :o … I posted this late last night, and had been feeling quite confused since I listened to XA’s entry.

… Either way, I did want to add a bit more to the results, as someone pointed out that my rating scale was a bit subjective. First, I’ve got some honourable mentions that go out to the following:

Trepain: Best use of sampling
m0d: Best bastardization of a genre
Zepsi: Best use of chip sounds
Xa: Most unexpected, yet amazingly humerous entry
redheat: Best celtic romp in the woods with faeries and such which was a bit too cheery to be creepy

… in fact, for everyone who got less than about a 5-6 on my creepyness scale, here’s why: I just didn’t find them to be that creepy. ALL of the entries were excelent, and very enjoyable in my opinion, but not all were decent halloween material! Some of them were just much to cheery :P

I do have to say, however, I was still very impressed with all the entries. I don’t think I’ve ever heard so many high quality entries in one compo! In fact, I used the rating scale I did because I was having a really hard time rating which ones I liked more. I was about ready to put them all up and go “YOU’RE ALL WINNERS!” but I figured I should stick to a somewhat ethical judging practice. I even got my girlfriend to sit through the entries and help me rate the creepyness. So, I hope my ratings haven’t offended anyone, I really like all of the entries. Feel free to post which ones scared you the most! :D

Downloading now! Excited to listen to the entries. Love scary music!

Only sample was the old man speaking and the individual percussion samples.

Otherwise sequenced the piano melody. Oh and went a little crazy with Dblue’s plug. First time I had used it a while back.

Yay, I’m officially the creepiest creep of them all! :)

All those tracks were really good and delightfully diverse too. Fun!

F**k me unempty, I’ll have to clean miself up after listening to that! Reminds me a lot of come to daddy, nasty!

Shame I couldn’t get on it in time. I could have submitted an old Octamed track but thats about it. Hey perhaps for next year :)

xa’s was pretty scary too, I might have nightmares about that tonight :eek:
