SunVox Contest!

3/5/2019

Mmmmm. Good stuff...
Have not finished any serious piece of music since... a looong time but as always when there is a SunVox contest will finish a piece of music as one of my goals in life is to be part of the prices in these contests... Yapps will die happy if one of my creations are bundled with SunVox!!!
This time it is also a price of something that am lusting after... A pendant of the Quantum VJ!
This makes me excited and have started a new fresh piece of music.

Here are the facts:

The rules are very simple:

use SunVox only;
size of the ZIP-packed SunVox file must not be greater than 64kb (65536 bytes);
original unpublished works only;
no covers, no remixes;
any modules, any genre, any length, any number of works.

Send your ZIP-packed .sunvox file(s) to nightradio@gmail.com with "SunVox Compo" topic.
Don't forget to name your project in the SunVox -> Main Menu -> Song Properties. Name format: Author - Song Name

Deadline: April 15 / 00:00 (UTC+05:00)

Winners will be announced later (after the public vote) on WarmPlace.ru and on all SunVox-related channels (FB, VK, etc.).
The best ones will be included to SunVox distribution. Promocodes (for any of my apps) will be provided for the first three winners.
The top prize for first place is the new Quantum VJ 0101 pendant - it's a glitch-style 8-bit audio visualizer with built-in microphone (limited edition, manual assembly).

Stagelight Monthly Music Contest II Grand Prize Winner | Lauren Dair

7/22/2017

So this is weird... I was going to write about this the other day and the singer of Linkin Park killed himself. I guess I am older now as there is such a big itch to make bad jokes about the whole thing but I do feel bad for anyone affected by his suicide.
Linkin Park was the judges of the twelve finalists that have been taking place during twelve months and they found a winner as can be seen and heard in the videos.
It must be a strange bitter sweet victory for the winner...

Mazetools Soniface wins AppArtAward for SoundArt!

7/10/2017

Mazesoft Soniface is something that I mentioned sometime ago and not really paying too much attention to it as to me it felt that it was too much flash and not too much substance.
Later installing it and starting to try it out it was pretty obvious that it is much deeper than eyecandy.
The eyecandy can get pretty intense and that is no way all there is as the sounds that you can coax out of it is great as well. But the big strength is not only the sound as it is the sequencers that you set up and manipulate that is important and fun.
It takes some time to get into it and I would say that a bigger screen is not a bad idea but tthink that there is a lot of people that will enjoy this and am curious what will be made using this app.

All in all on Android it Is the most exciting and different app to come out since Oscilab.
So big congratulations to have won the AppArtAward! You deserve it.
