 - Stairway -                                                  July 1997

(C) Chris Jarvis / Analogue Productions

cjtrack_student.adelaide.edu.au

- 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.
