Just finished mine. Need to practice performing it (which is tricky) and record it. Will be done tomorrow!

Dedicated to my wife who left me a few weeks ago.
The song is not finished, like our relation.

Octatrack + QY100 + H4N, no daw.
I hope Iā€™ll found energy to mangle this shit with OT one dayā€¦for now, not sure I can do better tomorrow.

Bloody brilliant track man!
Hope tingsā€™ll work out for you and Christmas not sucking to bad.

this is very, very good and powerfully honest music - sad and chilling, a strong sense of longing and hope for happier times, but with a bittersweet sense of acceptance, the pitch shift echo at the end gives me a sensation of trying and failing to rewind a situation back to its beginnings

has a bit of ā€˜nightmare before christmasā€™ aesthetic/vibe, but itā€™s simultaneously brighter, darker, and more human - there are a lot of contrasts in this piece that work together in very strong and interesting ways

Iā€™ll see all your clever musical stuff and raise you some noise:

Sorry, you all. I wonā€™t be able to get my track in by the deadline. Iā€™ll try to get in in on the 26th or 27th (sometimes life just gets in the way). I donā€™t expect any votes, but some comments would be nice.

Merry Christmas!

I donā€™t mind waiting a couple of days extra to accommodate your piece. I doubt most of us will have voted before then anyway. Not that Iā€™m in charge or anythingā€¦

Merry Christmas :santa::santa::santa::santa:

Sadly, Iā€™m in the same situation as @Sherelle. I was really excited about my ideas for this challenge but Iā€™ve been swamped with travel and work and havenā€™t had a free weekend for 3 weeks. :disappointed_relieved:

I like what Iā€™ve heard so far from everyone.

Oh, and Merry Christmas if it means something to you. :christmas_tree:

I thought today was the deadline & was gonna scramble to make something. If itā€™s open until News Years eve, cool, if not, Iā€™ll still make something :snowman_with_snow:
Looks like there are a few other late comers, if the deadline isnā€™t extended, we can have a round 2 :blush::sunglasses:

As Iā€™m not religous but still celebrate Xmas for th family tradition thingā€¦ Iā€™ve decided from now on Xmas for me will be the celebration of the birth of the universeā€¦ the birth of creation.

Interesting stuff, even if some notes are missing sometimes. Jingle bells notes? Iā€™m especially curious about visuals things. Itunes?

Me too. Will celebrate it again on the 30th for family. But I consider that any day can be the birth of creation. :wink:

No notes are missing itā€™s modulation of Carol of the bells arpegiated to give it a psychedelic twist.

I made the video myself with Avid media composer from snippets of documentaries etcā€¦ not automatically synced to the music it took some time to time stretch and fade in and fade out the images to match the music.
