> - This was my MC5 entry, placed 12th overall which I was happy with.
> Many of the comments mentioned that the song went nowhere and was not
> `special' enough. This was a source of frustration for me while writing
> the song, which was initially heading for 7 minutes or more. When I
> found out about the 4 minute limit I had a couple of other songs that I
> was considering entering (you may have heard Northern Sky or Blue
> Flame, both well over 4 minutes). Although this song was far from
> completion, I had to discard some secondary themes and ideas which could
> not be adequately developed in 4 minutes of music. Therefore, I
> developed (or overdeveloped) the main theme to use the 4 minutes and
> didn't achieve enough variation. I fully understand the organisers'
> reasons for introducing the time limit but I do feel that it's a
> restriction on creativity which is unfortunate for the contest.
>
> - Other comments showed varying opinions of my guitar orchestration. The
> song shows my keyboard thinking, but I also play guitar. I think this
> song is kind of a hybrid of styles, from real guitar (with keyboard
> influence) to tracker style effects.
>
> - 100% ORIGINAL SAMPLES: these are not Zapper's samples. I sampled all(?)
> the sounds from a Roland Synth (once again I must thank Pulse for
> letting me borrow it) but since they are quite regular instruments etc.
> they could be confused with other samples. I was probably a bit generous
> with the number of samples, but only 6 instruments used.
>
> - About the number of channels (59 virtual channels), if your computer
> can't handle it (or if you're using a GUS) or if you just don't like it,
> then limit to 32 channels (it.exe /l32) and you don't miss anything. The
> texture is just not as thick that way. I don't see any point in cutting
> back.
>
> - Once again, despite my efforts to avoid it, this was a rushed music
> contest entry. I hope to have a really complete song for MC6, so I'd
> better keep in touch with the rules!
>
> - Thanks must go to the MC5 organisers for all their hard work and another
> great music contest. I hope the tradition continues.
> Greets also to everyone at Analogue.
