The Winners...

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for! CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners. I will need be needing some additional info from all of you (including runners-up and honorable mentions), so please shoot me an email when you get the chance!

It really was extremely tough making these calls. Please do not be discouraged if you didn't win something this time around! The level of musicianship you all have demonstrated is impressive, and I'm genuinely honored that you took the time to make your entries. Be proud of what you've accomplished, and feel free to show them off regardless! :smile:

The Secret Guards of Kalé

***1st Place*** (And Grand Prize Winner):
Another Soundscape (Mattias Häggström Gerdt) (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/kale_anothersoundscape.mp3)

Another Soundscape turned my somewhat mysterious, groovy original piece into an in-your-face, funky, fantastical electro-pop extravaganza! The remix doesn't just make you want to dance; it makes you want do it LIKE A ROBOT. Catchy to the point of infectiousness, Matthias' efforts are having me seriously considering the possibility of a future music video. Can't you see it? Little dancing robots, building your new house? Putting sugar cubes in your coffee? Making the world a happy place?

*Tied Runners-Up*:
ChRoNiC (Dan Petrie) (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/kale_chronic.mp3)
Bronx Rican (José E. Felix) (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/kale_bronxrican.mp3)

ChRoNic (apparently Rayza's little bro) came out of nowhere for me, but something tells me we will be hearing a lot more from him! His Kalé club mix is unique in that he basically placed my vocals in an entirely original context... And it's honestly as well done as anything I've heard in professional venues. Don't be surprised if you hear it in one, too, because I plan on seriously pursuing the possibility of an electronic label release if he's up for it.

The title for José's "Move Aside" mix says it all. When I listen to this Kalé mix, I actually feel a little cooler than I really am. (Is that wrong? :lol:) A totally chill out interpretation that will have you tapping your toes and wiggling in your seat, it's hard to imagine this one ever getting old. Jazz organ, electric piano, funky sinewavs, and some of the coolest vocal processing I've ever heard!

Very Honorable Mention:
Mark Carpenter (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/kale_markcarpenter.mp3)

Mark Carpenter's remix is something of an "enhanced" version of my own style... and it's something I could even imagine on a future album release. World percussion, pizzicato strings, and a syncopation of the original rhythm that really gets you in the groove.


Red July

***1st Place*** (And overall 2nd Place Winner):
Nathan Rich (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/redjuly_nathanrich.mp3)

Nathan Rich may be a newcomer to this particular community, but he certainly doesn't sound like a newcomer to music production! With a great flow and a very polished sound, he brilliantly the rearranged Red July's chorus rhythm and chopped the original instrumental parts. Top that off with heavy, varied percussion, haunting bells, and an ending that will send shivers up your spine... and we have ourselves a winner!

*Runner-Up*:
Malcos (Stephen Malcolm-Howell) (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/redjuly_malcos.mp3)

Malcos' Red July remix is an extremely strong second in my mind, turning the song into a sultry RnB track that may very well put you in the mood for love. His silky smooth voice blends so well with mine that you might almost miss his amazing new harmonies... I just keep wondering why we haven't actively collaborated yet! (Shall we change that?)

Very Honorable Mention:
Uriel (Uriel Yehezkel) (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/redjuly_uriel.mp3)

I've loved Uriel's interpretation of "Red July" since I first heard it. Epic orchestral work befitting of a film score, he expanded upon the original chords with interesting string parts and percussive flourishes that get your heart pounding.


Avalon

***1st Place*** (And overall 3rd Place Winner):
Rayza (Hayden Petrie) (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/avalon_rayza.mp3)

How could you not feel good listening to this one? Rayza did a fantastic job turning "Avalon" into an uplifting trance anthem with all new chords and a really powerful chorus. The context in which he placed my high-octave vocalise and flute parts perfectly complements his new synth solo. It's timeless, it's fun, and who knows... It could be the next Euro club hit! I love it.

*Runner-Up*:
Illoper (http://soundtempest.net/jill/remixwinners/avalon_illoper.mp3)

Illoper is somewhat of an enigma to me at the moment - he didn't even give his real name or website when submitting his remix - but he clearly had awesome ideas for "Avalon"! Using what I assume is some really skilled auto-tuning, he re-harmonized my melodies and harmonies creatively and effectively. Epic choruses contrasting with some more reflective sections, the result is a bittersweet Pop song... and it sounds great!

-------

Once again, fantastic job to all! I hope you continue to enjoy the product of your efforts as much as I have and will. ^-^

[Rayza]

Looks like, to me, there may be something with the Red July pack. Its showing as 4.3 megs and gives me an "unexpected end of file" error when opening the archive..

[Fishy]

The Kale pack doesn't have a verse 2 vocals sample. Was that intentional?

[anosou]

I'm so goddamn ON it's ridiculous! Prepare for smooth ethno-tech!
Expect at least one remix of every song soon enough >:)

[John Revoredo]

75 dollars? Damn, I should get my ass to do a remix rite now

[zircon]

Sorry for the difficulty with the Red July pack, the SoundTempest FTP has been repeatedly messing up its transfer, apparently. It's up now, however.

The "Secret Guards" pack has been updated to include the second verse, that was my mistake! You can also download that part direcly from:

http://www.soundtempest.net/jill/SG%20Vox%20Verse%202.wav

[Jillian Aversa]

Oops! Yeah, we've been so busy the last couple days that I guess we didn't double-check everything thoroughly enough. Sorry 'bout that. Happy to see such interest, though. ^-^

[The Pezman]

I wanted to ask this last night on the chat, but my Internet kicked me off before I could:

What is "general musicality?"

[Jillian Aversa]

I wanted to ask this last night on the chat, but my Internet kicked me off before I could:

What is "general musicality?"
"Overall musicality" would include things like the quality of the arrangement, structure, performance (if there are any live instruments)... Whatever sensitivity is needed to make it sound good. ^_~

[Nutritious]

I'll probably also give this a shot.

[-RK-]

Red July has potential...

[anosou]

Red July has potential...

Haven't gotten to that yet, now you got me excited!
Secret Guards remix now has a very cool WIP. Great work in making samples that are easy to work with. Very good to have the verse and choruses with a 1bar pre-count to get the feeling from the original recording instead of cutting at 1.

[Jillian Aversa]

Woot woot!

[zircon]

Page 2? C'mon, y'all. You know you wanna remix the good stuff and win $$$.

[Dyne]

I missed out on zircon's contest last year because I was lazy. Let's see what happens when I'm not so lazy, shall we? I'm looking forward to this, and it doesn't matter if I win, I just want to do something awesome.

[Jewbei]

hmm well being that i have some free time on my hands im going to give this a shot. I need more experience workin with vocals so what the hell why not?

[The Pezman]

Page 2? C'mon, y'all. You know you wanna try and mix something but get beat down.
Fixed.

and 10chared.

[Jillian Aversa]

Hooray!

But no, Andy won't be entering. That would be a liiiittle unfair, under the circumstances. (Not just because he's my boyfriend, but he already collabed on parts of the album anyway.)

[José the Bronx Rican]

Oh, I'm in (gonna try, anyway). Just didn't get around to announcing. I was sorry to miss the Antigravity thing, so I've got to make time for Origins. I have some ideas, and I'll try my damndest to do Jilly justice.

[Malcos]

Yeah I missed Zircon's competition as well :sad:, I'll do my very best to make this one!

[anosou]

Are you going to be horribly biased when judging the remixes btw? Like, checking who made it and whatnot?
Also, since there's no limit to ammount of entries.. is it possible to win in more than one category?

..lol, sounds like I'm full of myself :3

[Jillian Aversa]

Are you going to be horribly biased when judging the remixes btw? Like, checking who made it and whatnot?

It would be an unnecessary hassle to devise an anonymous submitting system, so I will know who made the remixes. But I'd never lean towards any particular artist because I know them, or know of them.

This is one reason that I said ALL entries will be considered for future releases. ^-^ Some heavy genre like metal, hip hop, or happy hardcore could theoretically win the contest based on the three criteria I cited, but may never be added to one of my albums because it doesn't fit in terms of style. A low key new age one, on the other hand, may be a better candidate for future releases, but not actually win if it isn't as well made. Make sense?

I will be picking my favorites based on the creativity, production, and musicality indicators. That being said, if I get a bunch of equally creative, polished submissions for the same song... I would probably lean towards the one that would be best suited for mutual promotion. Basically: if our genres are so vastly different that fans of either artist would skip over the news out of indifference - or disgust, haha! - that isn't exactly ideal. But they could still be just different enough to attract attention or curiosity... So NOBODY SHOULD BE DISCOURAGED from doing something in a genre they enjoy and excel with.

Also, since there's no limit to ammount of entries.. is it possible to win in more than one category?
It's certainly possible, but unlikely. I think there will be a large enough pool of awesome entries to avoid repeat winners.

[anosou]

Sounds fair :) thanks a lot.
Back to Kalé now.

[prophetik]

oh shit kale!

look for something from me, particularly if i can get gigastudio running properly again. i'm putting aside other stuff for this, jill knows i'm a rabid fanboy to all who'll listen =)

[Jillian Aversa]

Awwww... :3

[m68030]

I might do a more palatable remix at some point, but after reading the line
"as long as the final result is still recognizable as being derivative
of the original work" I'm pretty sure this one doesn't count.

So I'll bump the thread and share this little aberration:
http://cotmm.theqcp.org/mp3/cotmm-avalon_ivorycitadel.mp3

A dark ambient/drone interpretation of Avalon entitled "Ivory Citadel".

Hope ya love it.

I'm hoping that was joke, cuz if it wasn't, my ears bled for no good reason at all.

Seriously, what was THAT?

[atmuh]

an excellent peice of music

atmuh approves!


except the name just makes me think of ivory tower :>

do you even know who cotmm is?

[atmuh]

do you even know who cotmm is?

sum n00b

[Nutritious]

We all know who's going to win this...


*cough* zircon

[beckett007]

Not if I have anything to say about it. Good luck everybody!

Rich

[zircon]

Haha, zircon isn't entering the contest... I think I already covered that one. He engineered and co-produced the album - wouldn't make much sense. :P

Nice one, cotmm... :lol: Yes, you are unfortunately correct that this would not be a valid entry. But I do hope you consider doing something else, too!

EDIT:
ROOOOFL. Sorry, this IS in fact Jill, but I'm on Andy's laptop (and forgot he was logged in). My MacBook Pro r in need of repairz... :sad:

[JH Sounds]

ROOOOFL. Sorry, this IS in fact Jill, but I'm on Andy's laptop (and forgot he was logged in). My MacBook Pro r in need of repairz... :sad:

My brain nearly sank into my neck when I read the first part of the post.

[The Unsung Plumber]

EDIT:

I was gonna say, Zircon's referring to himself in the 3rd person.

Also, The Unsung Plumber found it hilarious.

[anosou]

nice one cotmm.



I have a 99% done Kalé remix btw :) Expect to be dazzled by the shear genius of it.. kinda.

[beckett007]

Already sent this one to Jill, but thought I'd go ahead and post it here. Like my remixes here at OCR, it's extremely cinematic in nature.

Red July - In Pursuit Mix
http://www.richdouglas.net/audio/RedJuly_InPursuitMix.mp3 (http://www.richdouglas.net/audio/RedJuly_InPursuitMix.mp3)

Red July - In Pursuit Mix - Orchestra Only
http://www.richdouglas.net/audio/RedJuly_InPursuitMix_JustOrchestra.mp3 (http://www.richdouglas.net/audio/RedJuly_InPursuitMix_JustOrchestra.mp3)

I call it "In Pursuit Mix" because I envisioned this mix being utilzed for a hypothetical scene in a film in which a man is in pursuit of his missing love... more or less like the final scene in Last of the Mohicans. Enjoy!

Rich

[prophetik]

My brain nearly sank into my neck when I read the first part of the post.

LOL!

i knew it wasn't zirc when he used a smiley. all men know that using smileys diminishes the size of their dong.

[atmuh]

i was hoping hed use ^_~

[Jillian Aversa]

Hahaha... Can't believe this is still the hot topic in here. But it was pretty funny, wasn't it... I should post as Andy more often. ^_~

Yay for entries!

[Dyne]

I missed out on zircon's contest last year because I was lazy. Let's see what happens when I'm not so lazy, shall we? I'm looking forward to this, and it doesn't matter if I win, I just want to do something awesome.

Boy oh boy am I a silly boy or what? One week from monday, so here's da bump!

[Jillian Aversa]

Ah yes, the inevitable one-week bump! Thanks for that, Dyne. Some of you have already sent in your entries, but I suspect that there will be a new flood now that it's crrrrrrunch time. ^_~

You know where to find me!

[The Joker]

Dangit, I didn't even realize we were so close to the deadline. I'm having trouble getting a groove with my remix. I mean, I started it pretty good, then... nothing. Hopefully I can get that last minute inspiration.

[José the Bronx Rican]

If I didn't lose my home connection while deciding my cable package (coming at you from the laundromat wi-fi), I'd be the one to bump. I started last Sunday, figured to be working non-stop 'til deadline at the expense of stuff like food, sleep and No. 2, but... although that's happened, I'm actually about finished. I really am gettin' better at this. I'm at mastering now; stay tuned.

[Jillian Aversa]

Woo wooo...

[zircon]

Here comes the countdown; five days left. I've been checking out the entries along with Jill, and while there is some great stuff so far, it's definitely anyone's game and I know there are a lot of excellent mixers on here who would have a good shot at winning.

[José the Bronx Rican]

Mine was just sent, in a very roundabout way through my website host's webmail services, so please let me know if it came through okay.

[Jillian Aversa]

José: got it!

And the excitement builds...

[Malcos]

I should be able to make the deadline! I'm at the mixing stage at the moment.

EDIT: Sent!

[zircon]

Contest ends tomorrow at noon, so y'all have a little under 24 hours. I heard some great WIPs that haven't been subbed yet. Don't give up now :)

[Rayza]

My Kale mix was submitted to Jill. Hopefully I'll have my half started Avalon mix done soon too.. Good luck erryone..

[Jillian Aversa]

If anybody needs a tad more time, let me know. I don't have a problem with extending the deadline to tomorrow night (instead of noon EST).

[Rayza]

Actually that would be ideal for me. Say 8pm EST or so? I'd appreciate it.. :)

[Jillian Aversa]

Yeah, sure. I'll just go ahead and accept anything until midnight tomorrow night.

[The Unsung Plumber]

Yeah, sure. I'll just go ahead and accept anything until midnight tomorrow night.

*Sigh. (Puts the drum roll equip away):<

[nrich]

I'll be sending my entry tonight before the deadline after I can clean up the EQ and finish mastering... Sleep sounds amazing right now and the lacking presence of it is really disabling me from polishing Red July to mirror-like qualities. ):

[Jillian Aversa]

Alright, I'll keep my eyes peeled!

[Smenelian]

Sent mine. I'll be gone for most of today so I hope it went through.

[SwordBreaker]

In the process of finishing up mine here. Was too busy with VOCR. Hopefully I'm not too late.

EDIT: sent! :)

[nrich]

Can't believe I got it in on time. :shock: Certainly a first for me!

[Jillian Aversa]

Got all of yours.

[anosou]

Looking forward to the results from this :) great material to remix for sure

[Jillian Aversa]

Man, this is going to be tough... Everyone really put forth their best efforts! I should have the news by Friday or Saturday.

[Rayza]

It's Friday.

[ChRoNiC]

It's Friday.

+1

anyone that wants to hear my remix of The Secret Guards of Kalé can goto www.myspace.com/chronicb34ts (http://www.myspace.com/chronicb34ts) :D

[anosou]

It's Friday.

Word up. Moar results plz.

[José the Bronx Rican]

It's Friday, but not Saturday.
There are now about five things going on in the community where the suspense is killing me. I better keep working on the imminent update on my site before I go nuts.

[Jillian Aversa]

Patience, grasshoppers. I need a li'l more time... It looks like tomorrow, sorry! :<

[The Joker]

Even though I didn't finish in time, I still intend to remix a track, by golly.

[nrich]

Even though I didn't finish in time, I still intend to remix a track, by golly.

Yeah I wouldn't mind remixing the other tracks just for the hell of it.

[ChRoNiC]

[quote=Another Soundscape;446533]Looking forward to the results from this :) great material to remix for sure[/quote

who woooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn???

[Jillian Aversa]

Results will be out later tonight. Really sorry to keep you all waiting, but life seems catch up to me at the worst times sometimes!

[Jillian Aversa]

WINNERS ANNOUNCED IN THE FIRST POST! And there are more prizes than before, so check it out! Too many good submissions to let people go empty-handed.

<3

[Rayza]

Congrats everyone. Loved the different takes on the tunes.. Thanks pix for great source tunes, lovely voice.. :)

[nrich]

COWABUNGA DUDES

Had a blast with this, and I dig the other killer entries

Now to think up a wonderful personal autograph for Jill to sign... :3

[Liontamer]

Man, I'd say bundle the best into an digital EP, have a visual artist remix the Origins album cover, and $ with all the dudes getting their cut, because most of these winners are sick. I thought the vocals in ChRoNiC's were mixed too low, so it was hard to fully appreciate the effects on 'em. But otherwise, ridiculously awesome. Even if you don't do it for $, get this organized as a formal package and release it yesterday.

[FixBeat]

congrats everyone.

the trance remix 'runner up' of kale is pretty poor imo when you put it next to a current trance release. and the vocals? rule no.1 of a vocal track = the vocals are the star, i can barely hear them.

and your winner for kale, well its barely different to the original - except its not as good as the original. mental choice for winner imo.

out of your 3 kale winners, the jose one is best imo. wicked take on the tune there!

anyway, loved working with your vocals jillian. good luck with everything in the future, i think you have a very unique and stunning voice!!

if anyone would like to hear my remix, grab it on the site! i'll keep it there for as long a jillian allows me to :razz:

http://www.fixbeat.co.uk

cheers peeps, especially jillian.

[anosou]

and your winner for kale, well its barely different to the original - except its not as good as the original. mental choice for winner imo.

Thank you? :/

Anyway, a lot of cool entries and I'm glad I won :D Great work everyone, I'll be in touch Jill ;*

[FixBeat]

hehe you're welcome.

don't get me wrong, the sound quality on it is superb, definately better than mine! (and definately better than the trance version) it's just so damn close to the original it's barely a remix imo. but then again, this style of music is not a genre im familiar with! (though jillian has definately got me inspired to become more familiar!) - all drum&bass probably sounds the same to someone who isn't familiar with dnb! so please don't be insulted if this is the case.

[anosou]

haha, no worries :) I set out to make a remix, not a ReMix. Basically an enhanced electro version and not much more. Thanks for thinking it sounds superb though ;)

[Kizyr]

Bah, with my hiatus from posting I missed quite a bit, it seems.

I'm looking forward to listening to all of the winners/runners-up here. Glad the contest turned out to be a success! ...I think? ...it certainly looks like a success. KF

[Jillian Aversa]

(though jillian has definately got me inspired to become more familiar!) - all drum&bass probably sounds the same to someone who isn't familiar with dnb! so please don't be insulted if this is the case.

Actually, I am very familiar with the drum & bass genre. zircon (my boyfriend and roomie) has been working on an entire album of it, with a great deal of variety. I know they don't all sound the same... :-P Your entry was very strong, FixBeat, and Skrypnyk also came up with a great d&b track!

When I say it was a tough choice deciding on the winners, I mean it. Only 3 people were going to receive any prizes at all originally, and I tripled that list to 9 people. I didn't do that because I felt like being generous, but because the quality of entries was top notch throughout.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and tastes, but I don't much appreciate your attitude in the first post you made earlier. I stand by my decisions, and don't you think your fellow musicians deserve a little more respect than what you've demonstrated? Another Soundscape's remix was not "too close to the source" at all, and happened to be one of the most creatively excellent submissions overall. ChRoNic's mix was superb. (Besides, this isn't an ocremix contest. Never did I warn against submissions being too similar or too different from the source - just recognizable in some way. ^_~)

-----

This goes for everyone: it is my hope that the experience of getting to play around with someone else's work for free should feel at least a little rewarding in and of itself. Whether or not you won something this time around, you should be proud of your remixes! Feel free to post them anywhere you'd like on the web (so long as it's not for profit and I am credited).

[anosou]

Good post right there.

Honestly though pixie, release an electro-remix album of Origins! Bring some or all of the winners onboard together with Andy and whoever. Profit or not for profit, it'll be awesome. :)
I would also have more time to work with a remix (and probably in other programs than Reason that handles audio rofl) and that would be fun :3

[Skrypnyk]

Not even worth a 'not so honorable' mention? (http://skrypnyk.escariot.net/music/Etc/Jillian%20Goldin%20-%20Red%20July%20%28Skrypnyk%20Remix%29.mp3) ;__;

The idea does have a certain appeal, doesn't it...? It'd be cool if there were remixes of more songs than just those three, of course. Andy has already done one of Shadows! Something I will seriously consider.

In the meantime, I'll definitely be linking to the winning remixes as downloads on my website. (Currently renovating some of the content, so those will probably appear this week.)

Absolutely all songs, that was my point! Take remixers you think can handle it and start distrubting Origins to them and let the remixing begin :3

ah well, I think it's something that has to be done >:)

[PhiJayy]

ChRoNiC's remix was awwweesomme! Nice. Too bad, I missed out on competing. :(
Definitely next time.

[José the Bronx Rican]

Can't compete with AnSo, who creates complete, hot tunes in his sleep. :razz:
I'm grateful for the opportunity and the placement. This can now also go into my website update. Looking forward to the swag!

[Jillian Aversa]

Yays! Winners (including runners-up and honorable mentions), if you can shoot me an email sometime soon that would be great! I'll need some info from ye.

Enjoyed all the entries, but Illoper's was my favorite. Awesome job everyone. Kinda glad now that I didn't embarrass myself by entering. <_<
