Thanks to everyone who took part in this Open Battle. It’s been nice to watch and listen to all the entries.
As for the previous OB, the winner will have to come up with the brief for the next one: Open Battle #03!
Voting ends Friday 18th 22:00 CET
The entry of the host of the battle isn’t listed so that there won’t be two briefs in a row by the same person
What’s the deal on submitters voting on this? Obvs we shouldn’t be voting for our own track, but can we vote for someone else? (it’s a tough choice, anyway, lots of quality here!)
Of course, everyone will see it when someone vote for themselves, so they’ll be shamed!
Yes, votes are open to every Naut!
My vote goes for @korpinen: it’s impressive how the video goes along pretty well with your sound, it reveals pretty well the troubling emotion that the track alone already brings out ⇒ very well done dear!
And congratulations to everyone that managed to drop a track!
Honestly my vote could have gone to any of these tracks as the quality is so high and they are very varied, but I went with @dcsux’s entry- it set a very high bar early on
Went with the same approach as I very much agree @dcsux set the tone right from the get go. The level of talent on this forum blows me away time and time again. Well done, people!
I went @korpinen.
Great atmosphere and nicely complimented by the video.
Some really good efforts in here though. This was a great brief. Will definitely revisit 5/4 time again.
I enjoyed all the entries and love the diversity between us all.
In the end I went with @LyingDalai
Some awesome sound design in there. I thought the track was interesting in its entirety. How did you make that awesome twisted sound? It’s the first sound and repeats throughout. It’s absolutely harrowing.
I’m afraid this is a sample that comes from SOPHIE’s sound pack. It is the one that really fired my imagination.
I tweaked it a bit, melted it with some AR synthesis, filter and distorsion, and a delay with very short delay time.
I would have loved to have synthesized this, and now it makes me want to try!
The other screaming one at 0:11 comes from the same pack but it is more tweaked, with HP filter and distorsion. : I just love this sound pack, it takes the distorsion very well.
The rest is AR synthesis.
I voted for @korpinen as well huge fan of the timbres and vibe that you chose
Loved listening to the variety of entires
My entry ended up being the last tune I recorded before lending a friend my MM2. Once again finding myself grateful for prompts like these to stretch my creativity and encourage a finalized product
Oops! I was going to apologise for the ending of the video. I made it ages ago. It’s rather graphic. But meh… it’s just Robocop I thought. It is fitting for me. Although the change wasn’t forced on me like Robocop, the challenge really made me level up. Making use of a 5 step sequence has been a game changer. It made me delve deeper into the RYTM and OT.
