there's people who like putting stuff like this up, like wooferattack and nacmat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you shouldnt believe there's really a best, taste is a factor too, so then it's just a good way of getting people to have their music heard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My aim is to not be the worst. I think that's a good objective. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is no music better than bad music im afraid not i still havent listened to you btw will do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I think.. with jazembos list, it's a go to start the prelims... eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? I thought you had. Somecalled big left a comment for me :s |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..or maybe.. we'll start it when this thread runs over 100 posts? that's a nice start-signal... (shifts page for me! haha!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i did that though, haha im now listening to organ, sounds a bit promo-like i like it |
||||||||

Sounds intriguing, I must get round to reading 'the reinvention' some day. Have your people contact my people and we can take it from there. I am going to get some sleep now. You might want to contact Phobiazero about this, I only have contact details for about 50% of that list, the rest hide their email address so Phobiazero will need to either provide the details or send emails on your behalf. |

my aim is not to go out in the 1st round ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So is there going to be a minimum points for entry to limit numbers? I'd like to enter but I'm a bit of a newbie. :( Also what timescale? Tracks need finishing. Oh and I need to think of an artist name. Suggestions welcome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Would it be an idea to have a page somewhere, i mean I could set it up, or someone else could, where say you had a list of all the entrants with links to the appropriate songs, so you could see it all and listen to the tracks in one easy go, rather than trawling through threads? Or was that what you were planning anway and I am just being a monster tit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a good idea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good idea, dog_belch. But first, we HAVE to decide upon who enters... call me negative noonoo, but I don't think 150-odd artists is practicable! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can drop me. I dont like compititions etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who's going to run it? we should not post all the music and shit in this thread.. that'll be too messy... emails would be good.. maybe someone could create a new email at (not worksafe (this thing with people surfing at work ruins link-gags.. I surf at work...)) or something... but I'll have to go home from work right now (I don't HAVE to, but the day I work overtime is the day you all die!!!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't be a spoilsport, matthew. I also do not like competitions, but this is a fun way to re-establish the comµnity spirit of Xltronic, and to propagate the music. If people start dropping out, then it will invalidate the whole thing. |

It's easy, just do a group system, with those coming at the top (or near the top) of their groups progressing to a conventional knockout tournament structure. like the world cup, but with laptop geeks! Everyone in group A can rate everyone in group B, everyone in group B can rate everyone in group C, and so on. So if you want 16 entrants to the tournament round, just divide the entrants into 8 groups and have the artists coming 1st and 2nd in each group go forward to the next round. Personally I think 16 groups and 32 in the tournament would be better if there's >150 entrants. |

|
|
A few questions if I may: -Old tracks or new tracks made FOR the tourney? -Track length limit? -Genre? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you just said 150 was too many! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I bet all 150 people in that list wouldn't want to participate. I wonder how many it would be if you set a deadline for people to say they wanted to be part of it? And then go from there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah good idea. personally I can't work without a deadline. shouldn't the entries by anonymous, to make it a fair competition (like the autechre remix comp)? and therefore the tracks should all be ones unheard by xlt people before. |

I think the anonymity is a good idea, ooooh, cunning. |

Well, I don't know about creating new tracks for the championship. I was just thinking in line with the IDM Championship 2004. But I guess we could make new tracks solely for the championship. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
count me out. I'll pass on this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll give the clitoris that is this championship a flick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im in, let me win the first prize |
||||||||
|
|

|

all americans have been disqualified for being chiKcens |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kewl. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did I win? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this all sounds very interesting. My 2p............. if this is going ahead it should be new tracks only as many people will have had time to get used to artists previous tracks & that may result in the tracks 'growing' on people. Wouldn't there be less chance of a draw if the marking system was out of 10 & not 5? is it still going ahead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh I changed my mind. Only because I just finished a song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's more like it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So.. is this still on? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe there should be challenges. Create an ambient piece Drill Piece etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, thats the idea, not everyone likes dnb, and so on... this would be more smooth with categories |
||||||||
|
|

???: D'N'B IDM Chill Jazz Rock South-american Tango Dub House Noise Glitch Classical Progressive Pop |

I would have said you should just submit what you believe is your VERY BEST work, whether it was made 10 years ago or 10 seconds ago. Use this as a chance to show the world your true greatness regardless of genre, style age. And if you don't think you have made our best track then you better get to work! :) |
||||||||

|
hello, butterfly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but how about getting this thing rolling? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck that 'categories'-idea. if that's used, I'm out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's not practical. We'll spend all year trying to define the boundary between IDM and glitch, or dub and chill, etc etc... there are no boundaries, only a continuum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. fuck the categories. But we'll still need to figure out who's comparable as artists for the prelims.. you can't do Archrival vs. Skink, for example (imo). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed. I have no idea what most of those categories really mean musically and I just don't work that way - making music categorically. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, ditch the categories - we have to keep this simple if it's to work. I'm stil unsure of having to make new tracks, or submit x amount of tracks. I was thinking of taking in a person's canon into regard, and judging them overall. But.... if there's 10,o00,000 entrants, that could be tricky (disco) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's just do it like this: - no genres - tracks can be whatever you like. old, new.. just your best. it wouldn't really be a musician competition if you had to make new tracks, and you were totally uninspired, and made some crap.. it would be forcing yourself to make music, which is never good. now.. how do we decide who's in and who's out? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is no way on earth i would participate if i had to create new tracks, i have far too much on my plate as it is at the moment... |
