Mutant Breaks #11 - VOTING (review and win a copy of Redux!)

[Komu]

But if the points count then why doesn’t RedPanda win? He was the only one who had both xrns with native fx (5 point), reviews (3 points) and 3 votes (3 points). So if the points count, then i can’t see anyone else with an equal or higer score. Usual in contests the highest score wins, so i’m a buit confused.

Only vote winner gets points for votes. 5 points to the most voted one. When Stailer or Sunnk wins the votes, its 9 points and Redpanda and few others have 8 points.

[Komu]

All native + 5 points

All reviews + 3 points

Vote victory + 5 points

Vst used/shared .xrns + 1 point

If this is misleading, then I’m sorry, but I said it so I have to stick with it.

If so, then why is there nothing about this in the original contest announcement? How were we gonna be able to guess this?

Well, i can’t say i have seen this anywhere, you have not written this in either the original announcement post or the voting post.

I’m sorry. That was a long day.

I did not mention that 1 vote is 1 point either.

[TheBellows]

I’m sorry. That was a long day.

Don’t worry mate, i really appreciate your work and effort you put into this, and if everyone else thought the rules were clear enough that’s good enough for me. I still think it’s a pretty weird voting system, but if that’s the way the ball rolls i’ll roll with it.

I did not mention that 1 vote is 1 point either.

but that would have made a lot more sense and that is how MB used to work, so i wouldn’t characterize it as very far fetched to assume this.

Though the previous rounds did also have a twist with random elements.

Yeah maybe its not the best one, but I’m not a professional for making competitions.

[Komu]

Hey how about two winners? Stailer and Sunnk still battles for “the best track” title and Redpanda wins the “points and effort” title. Both gets the video!

[stailer]

Hey ! Ok for me… But i want my Redux copy if i win !

But hey if the difference between first place is just on a technicality like this, it’s totally cool with me if Stailer gets it!

Thx very much Mannaz !

[Komu]

Komu - Dawn Of A New Beginning
i like the intro, its so smooth, dawn looks quite promising, for me the song gives feeling that something heavy have dropped from shoulders and it is time to move on finally, well-balanced composition

[/i]

Those were my feelings when I was composing the track.

Hey ! Ok for me… But i want my Redux copy if i win !

I can’t get you the Redux.

[Komu]

Okay. Online again!
But the votes are gone??

Here is the update and WINNERS:

[sodiufas]

Who is the winner? I lost track with that new froum thing

[Komu]

Redpanda and Sunnk! Two winners.

[sodiufas]

Great! Congratulations guys!

[Conner_Bw]

The migration to Discourse has thrown me off a bit.

It’s going to take me some time to figure out where all the reviews are, and figure out who the random reviews winner is. I’ll take a stab at it this afternoon.

Sorry for the delay.

[Komu]

There is couple of reviews in the original thread and the rest is here

[Conner_Bw]

Reviews! Copy pasted into first result on google for “wordcounter.”

Thinking of putting the names of everyone bigger or equal to 17 reviews into a hat and … that’s the winner?

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Hi guys, A quick vote from me, I’m out travelling and don’t want to forget. Stailer - Hymn to nature Lovely arrangement and I am a sucker for these leads. RedPanda13 — ManBearPig Is Real, Im Cereal! This song fills up the audio spectrum and with a dose of crazy who can resist? sunnk — heat death When all elctronics melt down this tune will still be playing. Have a great 2019 and keep on rocking!

my personal opinions on the tracks entered : No 1 ( winner / gold ) : Global Warming - The Bellows nice lead sound, strange ( tape saturation maybe ) nice hihats and percussion subtlety, panning, human-ness nice combo of human instruments with modern sounds nice unexpected changes nice melodies love the feel of the flute instrument - medieval court style everything carved into its own space. great arrangement, great songwriting No 2 ( runner up / silver ) : Local Cooler - Raegae syst…

My unofficial reviews/opinions in the order I listened to them in (mine is not in the list because that would be obvious bias): Sodiufas - Glaciers I like the ambience, sounds like it could be in the background for either a horror movie, cave, lab, or possibly a really serious/suspenseful moment. Not bad though it wasn’t a full song. Stailer - Hymn To Nature I love the drums in it, the synths were great and the vocal treatment gave it a kind of tribal chant vibe that along with the drums in …

Stailer - Hymn To Nature These leads rulez da world, and will rule it for a long time. Garfferen - The End Good techno track with a nice surprise at the end. ghismart - WIND and FIRE on EARTH My goal was to make a track with my own VSTs inside. Checked!

1. VΔƎPЯISM - θɜːmɪk [Thermic]: Love the desolate atmosphere especially at the beginning of the song. Very good composition with nice natural sounding samples. It feels like after a nuclear war. Reminds me of VENETIAN SNARES a bit, which I like a lot. Could have a little more variation towards the end. 2. sodiufas – Glaciers: This tracks generates an eerie atmosphere of melting claciers with very little samples. It’s lacking a bit in the low frequency range. Maybe adding some rumbling drones …

Lots of quality tracks here and congratz to everyone who entered… Favorite track, I voted for sunnk - heat death It left me feeling I had been repeatedly punched in the face, had my wallet stolen and left a wake of small children crying. It is relentless which kind of sums up Global Warming for me.

VΔƎPЯISM - θɜːmɪk [Thermic]: Lovely haunting intro, leaves it open with suspense and then you get that Massive Attack percussive skippiness and the vibes get a bit more uplifting. Very nice sodiufas – Glaciers: Ambient track with horror. I imagine it fitting in well with something like Penumbra: Overture which has this icy, unsettling atmosphere about it. Stailer - Hymn To Nature: Satisfying repetition at the start and then it goes all Final Countdown with a punchy lead, which is heavy b…

VΔƎPЯISM - θɜːmɪk [Thermic] Cool melodies. It reminds me a 12 monkeys movie. Bruce Willis searching for answers! I would make the sounds slightly lo-fi. Add hiss and vibrato or something like that. Nice spooky and questioning overall vibe. sodiufas – Glaciers This is like a slow-motion space basketball game. I love it. I can listen this surprisingly long periods of time. Great work. Maybe this should be taken to even further, new sound coming in after 5 minutes or something…

Sorry for my bad english, this is my (short) reviews with a top 6 : (Place 1) 11. RedPanda13 - ManBearPig Is Real, Im Cereal! I love arp and voice evolution in intro… Pad, Wooble are magical : ) Emotion, big sounds, breaks. For me it’s perfect. **(Place 2)**Garfferen - The End WooOOo, i love this track. I seen “John Wick (1 and 2)” I think this track would be ideal for this movie. **(Place 3)**15. Komu - Dawn Of A New Beginning Superb introduction… HHats and reverb perfect. At 4:38 : the…

Global warming? Here I pun to save the day!!! VΔƎPЯISM - θɜːmɪk [Thermic] no puns for me, that’s how eye roll. Sodiufas - Glaciers Don’t need good ice-sight to spot these glaciers. reverb so wet it’s drowning… if I close my eyes i can sea the ice shift. Stailer - Hymn To Nature Drums soo big it would take me two buses and a train to get on their good side. ‘Great scott’ Doc screams, roland like a boss from the 80’s with a synth that blasts in like we are being shown a sine!

What a busy week! Thanks everyone for the feedback, this feels like enrolling on a really cool music workshop Here are my reviews, writing is actually very enjoyable, I take note^^ VΔƎPЯISM - θɜːmɪk [Thermic] Elegant filmscore music… The dissonant, evolving chords strive towards harmony but the tension is never released. Lovely textures in the rhythm and the drum tuning really compliments the track. Sodiufas – Glaciers This one tricked my mind: a deceiptively simple pattern t…

Hey guys, so I guess I have never really gone out of my way to describe music on paper. I just know what I like, so this was an interesting exercise. Cheers everyone for all of this, was great craic! VΔƎPЯISM — θɜːmɪk [Thermic] - Wasn’t completely sure where this was going but I love the understated dreamy feel of it all. Can I ask which piano you used in it as it sounds great? The repeaters make for an interesting combination. sodiufas — Glaciers - Atmospherically it’s quite imposing. Seems …

1. VΔƎPЯISM - θɜːmɪk [Thermic] I was a fan of games like Diablo and such when i was a kid and i had high expectations to this dungeon crawler. I must say i was a bit disappointed with the gameplay, but i loved the soundtrack! 2. sodiufas - Glaciers Don’t you know it’s dangerous to hang around inside glaciers? What were you doing in there anyway? 3. Stailer - Hymn To Nature Nice intro and i love the big drum phatness and nice sound overall. I was a bit disappointed with the drop around 40 se…
