Here's my submission. Tried something completely out of the box - and I absolutely loved working tirelessly on this. Since this is the final round, I thought I owe it to the judges to make something worth listening all the way through for.


Good luck to everyone in the competition! It's been a blast.

Here's my submission:



Finally got it done, though to be honest I wasn't too worried about not making it in time. For the purposes of clarity, yes the same song was used as my NGADM submission, but I started the project after the final round of NGUAC had begun, with the intention of making one piece for both competitions, so as to not kill myself with work and stress.


Good luck to everybody!

Response to NGUAC 2019 Final Round 2019-08-25 23:43:12


Alright made it



Just about pulled a @johnfn too with the timing. I'm not one to be this close to the deadline.


p.s. good luck to the other finalists beating this mess

At least you didn't pull a @LunacyEcho. That dude is literally first on, last off with these competitions.

Okay! The midnight hour has come and passed (at least here on the east coast of the U.S.).


Unfortunately, that means that @EverReverb, @Fire-Gold, and @MisledSatellite have all been disqualified.


You three may still submit, but your tracks will be subject to the late penalty as outlined in the rules. Also, for transparency's sake, @Sylux03 previously notified me that he could not participate in the round.


The remaining competitors will be judged collectively over the next few days, regardless of their group of origin. Results should come out sometime on Wednesday, August 28th. Congrats on coming this far, everyone!


Judges! You know what to do. @Bosa @Cheshyre @EndKMusic @Everratic @Jacob @Midimachine @Samulis @SplatterDash

Okay! The judges are almost done, but we’re waiting for @EndKMusic to come back from his new pilates class and report his scores. Pilates is kinda a spiritual thing for him, so he likes going to his class before finishing the judging. He was supposed to be back a couple of hours ago, but I’m sure that’s not something to be worried about or anything. I’ll keep you posted!

Sorry!

Actually, whole pilates crew's now listening to submissions while doing the exercises. No worrays, we'll be done by the time cooldown starts.

Response to NGUAC 2019 Final Round 2019-08-28 18:09:52


Hmmm….so, I just got off the phone with @EndKMusic, and he seems convinced that his pilates class revealed a host of health problems he has that urgently need to be addressed. Luckily, the pilates studio comes with an attached medical clinic, and EndK seems to be in recovery. I’ve asked @Jacob and @Cheshyre to do some research into the clinic’s approach, however, just to get an idea of how long it will take EndK to get back to judging. Thanks for your patience, everyone! :)

While we wait for EndK, I will say on my side that the scores are pretty high from where I'm looking.

After looking into this pilates organization, the judges have come across some very concerning Yelp reviews that accuse the studio of using pilates as a lure to manipulate people into buying various other expensive health products and services (which they also sell) that they don’t need. Also, their branding is a little weird (see below). 


Obviously, we were a little skeptical once @EndKMusic started asking the other judges for thousands of euros to cover his “urgent” “treatment” costs, but quite frankly we just want him to be able to finish judging. So, we’ve broadened our approaches to getting EndK back in order to get the results out as soon as possible. @midimachine and @Bosa have organized a bake sale to try to raise the money that EndK (and the pilates people) want. @Everratic and @SplatterDash have sued the pilates studio over their sketchy and manipulative business practices. Lastly, @Samulis and myself have simply tried to calm our nerves and foster some mindfulness by going to the studio and doing some pilates. Hopefully one of these methods works, and we’re all able to finish judging soon.

Welp, good news, everyone! We’ve run the phony pilates studio out of business and all of our judges are finishing up. In the end, all it took to dismantle their greedy tactics was to have them face a customer whose health and vibrancy was too great for them to criticize into submission - namely, @Samulis. EndK is still recovering from his emotionally taxing ordeal, but regardless the results should be out shortly. ^_^

Yup, I decided to cut the B.S. involved in making another thread for the final results. You can find the top 3...right here!


THE WINNERS:


1st Place: @VociferousMusic


2nd Place: @WolfgangMiakoda


3rd Place: @Spadezer


4th – 20th, in that order: @Dude2312, @MrKoolTrix, @Depard, @Runanova, @DrayxMusic, @8bitheroes, @Saruz, @JRTH, @Aenter, @TetsugakuMusic, @Dag0, @Shadowghost, @SirQuebi, @Disorderlys, @DJFrankMusic, @EmoshiLorenzo, @Xehao, @Fire-Gold

 

Congratulations to all of you on some truly inspiring work throughout the competition. It’s always such a pleasure to listen to all these tracks.


IF YOU’RE IN THE TOP THREE: @NekoMika will make sure the winning submissions are featured prominently on the site’s front page at her discretion. @Decky was also generous enough to make custom forum signatures for the top 3. Both of these individuals deserve your unending gratitude. If you’re in the top 3, please PM me your email address ASAP so that I can send you your forum sig when it’s ready. Please be patient, though. Making the forum sigs might take a couple of weeks.


And...that’s all, folks! Huge thanks as always to the judges, @Bosa, @Cheshyre, @EndKMusic, @Everratic, @Jacob, @Midimachine, @Samulis, @SplatterDash, and myself. These judges were chosen to score your tracks in part because they’re amazing musicians themselves, so go check out their content! Special shout-out to @Samulis for judging all 3 rounds despite originally signing on as a backup judge. :)


I’d also like to thank every single individual who auditioned, participated, or even followed the contest in any way. The competitors are the ones who truly make the NGUAC what it is.


Hope you’ll all join us again next year! Until then, see you around the Grounds. ^_^
