Well, it’s been a while since I was first in one of these. My entry is inspired by the “quiet-loud-quiet-loud” structure of indie rock and features another attempt at making a chunky guitar style sound. Also there is contrast between fast and slow and a really contrasty backdrop:
My only problem has been some minor audio glitches when rendering the file in Blender. I’d had the problem before with one of my Syncer pieces and not been able to really resolve it but that was much worse (I stll haven’t uploaded that piece). Here it’s a few little pops that are definitely introduced at the rendering level. Worse things could have happened I guess.
The problem with this challenge is that you could do basically anything and find a reason for it to exhibit contrast. Nonetheless I was inspired by the contrasting qualities of AM and FM synthesis to make this piece:
I think at this point, given the lack of contributions we should just declare this to be open ended (it’s a pretty open challenge anyway). And i’m embarassed that I’m the only other contributor.
yeah, this one seems to not have sparked much creativity…
i’m in the last stages of wrapping up the semester and my summer holidays will start next week. i’ll have a think about how to progress with the challenge.
It’s a balance thing. Too loose a set of criteria and people don’t know where to start, too narrow and people feel constrained. I think picking a module for people to try is usually good but it has to be a deep enough module to inspire people.
