Well, here's my entry for the final! Had to get it in as I am off on holidays - I've had an absolutely nightmarish 10 days!

Good luck everyone!


I write music - go and listen!

Less than a week remains, and I still have nothing.

If this keeps up, I'll be in big trouble.

Did only metal and rock songs made it to the top scores?

Response to N G U A C Final Round 2016 2016-08-14 08:00:24


My Commander and I both finally agreed which genre to go for. We - again - will enter new grounds and totally leave our comfort zone. The rabbit has spoken - i have to obey. Stay tuned!

Two of the top scorers had metal/rock pieces, but overall the pieces of those who made it to the Final Round much more closely resemble the genres that were submitted:

Electronic dance music - 9
Classical/cinematic - 5
Pop/rock - 4
Ambient - 2

@SoundChris Cute rabbit!

@TaintedLogic Thx, could you please tell me who did ambient songs ?

I'm 1/2 of them, one other should be adieuwinter.

Who's the other half?

I think I included it in "classical/cinematic." In my experience, "classical" music refers to traditional Western music, while "world" music refers to traditional non-Western music. Here, I basically used "classical" as a generic term for both.

Few people have submitted. It seems like everyone's working hard!

I've gotta push too, or I won't make it...

All right! Holy cow! This took a lot of effort, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's a funky firecracker!

Everything was recorded live: horns, guitars, drums, bass, piano, vocals, so no plugin action besides those used for mixing and mastering. Hope you all enjoy.

Unfortunately, I was unable to come up with anything worthwhile, so I submit my most recent piece for judging.
I started working on it after the knockout round results were posted, so I believe I'm allowed to do that.

Well looks like I did manage to make it in time. The quality of the end result is a different story however...

FIRST DRAFT WOWEEE

I will be updating this with changes that I have already started making because wow that doesn't sound good and that sound over there could use some fixing and man that part is muddy

But I feel like I accomplished something these past three days... the strict deadline really pushed me forward to follow through with this track, even if it sounded a bit disgusting to start. But was it worth? We'll have to see.

Good luck, everyone!

I'm surviving the night rushing the rest of the melodies right now. Fortunately, 19th is my day off. It'll be here in the last minute. :P
(GMT +7 so my deadline is on 19th, 10:59 am.)

I'm retiring. Too busy and tired to do anything.
See ya
