HappyTauren vs obie - remix each other's 9th music contest entries

[HappyTauren]

The Hive Workshop

Challenge Request

• No submissions may violate any of the site rules (Rules & Information)
• Challenge results must be bug-free.
• At least 1 WIP must be submitted
  
• 1 screenshot as a confirmation

Challenger:
@HappyTauren

Opponent(s):
@obie

Challenge Type:
Music Production/Composition/Cover/Remix

Challenge Theme:
Remix the opponent's music piece that was submitted in the 9th music contest. The remix aspect extends to changing the structure of the compositions, removing certain parts, even adding new parts, repeating certain parts (or removing the repetition), changing tempo, etc. Basically, the remix is not a 1:1 cover at any rate, but rather a re-structuring and re-composition of the musical piece to suit a different style and thought process.

The challenge starts when both contestants are ready for it, although the entries can be started before the challenge officially starts (since the purpose of it is to kill time until the next big contest). If a judge doesn't finish judging two weeks from the contest end, a new judge will be selected, that both contestants would agree on.

Challenge Duration:
10 Days

Proposed Reputation Award:
15 Reputation Points

Challenge Judges:
TBD, two judges

Challenge conditions:
The remix can be started on 21.1.2018. afterwards.

Starting Date - Deadline:
from whenever this officially starts - 31.1.2018. OR when both are finished

Extensions possible:
up to 10 days

@deepstrasz wanna judge?
@Naze, are you responsible for this section?

 

[KILLCIDE]

We don't have an official moderator for the Arena / Challenge section, so any mod can take it.

 

[HappyTauren]

Alright then, when obie replies with suggested changes, or acceptance of the challenge, we can find judges as well. That being said, I've got an unofficial confirmation from obie, we just gotta work out the details.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Go for it! I'll be watching this thread, so just post here once everything is sorted out.

 

[obie]

I hereby accept the challenge!

 

[HappyTauren]

@KILLCIDE you heard the man.

 

[KILLCIDE]

I'm unfamiliar with the music scene, so would you be able to ask any potential judges?

 

[HappyTauren]

@Brambleclaw
@deepstrasz
@GhostOfPast
@AditTechno
@Donut78
@NightStalker

Any takers?

I don't even know anything about production analysis.

 

[Donut78]

I have some unofficial production analysis experience in the form of online music classes (where analyzing works is part of the lessons) and comparing my own work to other professional creations. But someone with more real experience may be better. I could be a potential/backup judge if no one else pans out?

There are space for two judges. You can be the actual judge, actually.

 

[Donut78]

Yeah sounds like fun! I could give it a go.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Cool let's get one more Judge and I'll move this thread out of submissions.

 

[FlameofChange]

No thanx ! I don't have the stomach to judge yet

 

[KILLCIDE]

Its just 2 entries!

 

[HappyTauren]

The only person that I know really does music production in these parts is @Kwaliti, but I want to refrain from saying he should judge, because he's been a personal friend of mine for the last 12 years. As such, even if he'd not be biased (because he's a professional), I think someone more neutral in general should be recruited for this.

Here's my first, (unofficial?) WIP. Since I said we can work on this from 21.1 onwards, it's not a problem to post the WIP(s) even now.

Anyway, this is probably going to get reworked in the future (especially when I add heavy guitar parts to the latter part of the song).

 

[deepstrasz]

Challenge results must be bug-free.

Proposed Reputation Award:
5 Reputation Points

For 10 days? That's kind of weak man...

I could help with judging if no one experienced how you say it (like whatever that is anyway since it's a hobbyist site, not a conservatoire exam) comes in.

 

[HappyTauren]

Being bug free in terms of an audio file means that the file must be playable, so it's an important point, if bizarre sounding. If you think that's weak, then double it or something. Could be 10, then?

 

[deepstrasz]

Could be 10, then?

That's OK as the loser gets a minus, so I guess, yeah. Depends how much you care about illusory rep points...

 

[HappyTauren]

I don't care at all, and that's the point xD I put 5 just so that there's some sorta reward or something.

Oh good then, make it 15 as the third place in a music contest.

 

[Kyrbi0]

...The challenge starts when both contestants are ready for it, although the entries can be started before the challenge officially starts ...

Ah, learning from the greats, I see? ; D

 

[HappyTauren]

Ah, learning from the greats, I see? ; D

I don't know what that's referring to, I just wanted to make this because obie was hell bent on working on something, just like me, so I kind of don't really care if the challenge even gets accepted xD If it does, then cool, we'll get some judges for the stuff, etc.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Well, so I can feel like I contributed... This guy apparently does music stuff a lot; might be Judge-worthy?

I was being a little facetious; I did the exact same thing right next-door in a V2 of a Challenge of my own design (so we could begin working on our entries before the Challenge got approved, same as you). : ) I just thought I thought of it myself, and considered it delightfully devilish. ;P

 

[HappyTauren]

Oh damn, I was not aware of it xD But it kinda makes sense. I don't think obie cares who the judges actually are, I know I don't xD As long as they are even remotely competent it's fine. Actually, someone who just likes music is probably good enough anyways, no need to be a composer+producer+performer to rate most of the things anyways.

 

[obie]

It's all in good fun. Like HT said, it doesn't really matter who the judges will be, we're doing this because the last contest sparked our interest for more.

 

[KILLCIDE]

Still interested?

 

[deepstrasz]

Still interested?

Well, PappyTauren died so... maybe we should change the theme to: in memoriam?

 

[obie]

I'm still up for it. I have the rough take recorded but I had to put it on hold due to a busy schedule.
