SoOn is sponsoring a competition in the spirit of the Scene compo tradition and to make it a bit more interesting we’ll buy you a beer (or two) if you end up in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.
1st place prize is $20
2nd place prize is $10
3rd place prize is $5
Here are the rules:
1. You must use at least 10 seconds of one or more of the 10 samples provided. This sample must be identified (via text). But…. You can time shift, reverse, transpose – do anything you’d like in any software and throw it all together in any style with any additional sounds you desire. Do something glorious – make a mockery of the contest – it doesn’t matter – whatever is best wins!
There are samples at this profile
http://www.traxinspace.com/profile/2009sooncontest
Or at this URL
http://2009contest.soonlabel.com
2. Prize payment will be made via paypal – that is where I have the money for this event stored. If you can’t get a free account then I can’t help you.
3. A minimum of five (5) entries are needed to trigger payment of the prizes.
4. Entries are open until 23:59:59 October 31st 2009 GMT
5. Voting starts 00:00:00 November 1st 2009 GMT and ends November 7th 2009 GMT
6. Voting will be tallied by Tricky on TiS. Send him a TiS PM or submit your vote by emailing 2009vote at soonlabel.com which will be forwarded to him. His decision of the winners is final.
7. Entry URLs will be posted to this thread by the entrant or Tricky or myself. Email 2009vote at soonlabel.com with your URL if you do not have or want a TiS account.
8. SoOn members are eligible to compete – only I can’t since it’s my money and that would make little sense…. Wouldn’t it?
9. I’d like to thank all of the SoOn members who contributed samples for the contest
I think that covers it.

This question has come up on other forums
you can use anything else with the sample(s) in any style you'd like using any combination of additional samples, performance, VSTi, buzz machines, etc. Maximum creativity is the goal and the SoOn samples are used to wrap around the compo.
if you do not post your entry on the traxinspace you must email the link to 2009vote at soonlabel.com in order to have either Tricky or me post it at Traxinspace for you.
If you need hosting for your song I can provide that.
Of course - you can post your tune where ever you'd like and drum up as many votes as you'd like.
ANYONE can vote - just PM tricky at traxinspace or use 2009vote at soonlabel.com

A fourth entry just came in:
From the Renoise forum by Eat Me called "Used All Of The $35"
Song Info: http://www.electrobel.nl/muzik/1538/EatMe__Used_All_Of_The__35 (http://www.electrobel.nl/muzik/1538/EatMe__Used_All_Of_The__35)

Play in browser: http://www.electrobel.nl/flash_mp3.php?song=1538 (http://www.electrobel.nl/flash_mp3.php?song=1538)
I have used only samples from the remix pack. Cutted out sounds from the sound fx, added volume slides to piano, keys,
bass guitar, conga and that other drums. The beat is distorted low passed from the music, the piano clickclaks also.
The guitar solo is left intact, except for the loop at the end with fading in distortion. The field recording is in the
background. The track was made with a registered version of Renoise 2.1, using the internal effects and free VST effect
freeverb2.

I was asked if someone can enter twice on modplug
Well, I didn't consider if someone wanted to enter twice.
Since there is money on the line it wouldn't be fair necessarily.
But I understand that people want to have fun and I am NOT policing this competition in any way shape or means. I'm not, for instance, demanding proof of sample use - and if you get your extended family to vote for you... well I guess good for you.
So my suggestion is that anyone who wants to enter more than once do so with an alias I am not aware of.

I am able to contribute a piece to Chris Vaisvil's SoOn 2009 contest after all:
(Streaming)
http://www.ozanyarman.com/musics.html (http://www.ozanyarman.com/musics.html)
(Download)
http://www.ozanyarman.com/files/music/Sabastorm.mp3 (http://www.ozanyarman.com/files/music/Sabastorm.mp3)
This new piece is called "The Saba Storm". Catchy, huh?
The scale employed in the composition is that of the Saba maqam, or else a Yarman-36a subset for the scale of said maqam. The 12-tone subset scale chosen from my notorious Yarman-36a tuning is given below:
Yarman-36a Saba maqam with perde rast on C
12
!
148.23705
198.74659 D
347.40794 Eb (quartertonal)
381.44577 Ed
501.35622 F
649.32179 Gb (quartertonal)
699.74399
801.68275
896.75720 A
1001.88049 Bb
1079.85183
1200.00000 C
Don't be surprised if the established theoretical models (Turkish, Arabic, Persian, etc...) fail to faithfully represent maqams. You need something like Yarman-36a to render maqams like Saba, Ushshaq, Huzzam and Karjighar satisfactorily.
In the piece, I warped the Congas.mp3 sample by Norm Harris. It's hard to recognize, because the waveform has been reversed and processed with carefully chosen Logic Pro 8 plugins:
1-SpecGate: Dark Super Energy
2-FuzzWah: Crunchy Overdrive
3-EnVerb: Rolling Up
4-SpaceDsn: Modula B Delay & Hot Plate
5-Limiter
Notice how the original Conga beat is transformed to an ethereal Saba aire in the background, which seemlessly intertwines with the "Saba-ishness" of the composition. Who would have guessed that the inharmonic spectra of congas would be so suitable for maqam Saba? The pitches of the congas match delicately with the Yarman-36a Saba subset.
Due to the limitations with the chosen scale (Logic Pro does not allow on-the-fly tuning changes), modulations are very limited. There is a savoury modulation to Ushshaq and later to a diminished Segah pentachord as the piece progresses. But Saba on D dominates throughout.
The length of The Saba Storm is 5:10 minutes. The size of the mp3 file is 3.9 MBs.
And yes, I am the one who sings the "gazel" vocal in Turkish. If anyone wonders what the words mean, just ask me!
This is my first true attempt at electronic microtonal maqam polyphony.
Comments are welcome!

I decided it was only fair to include all songs in the vote pack and that meant hosting some songs the composers didn't want individually hosted by me. I will provide statistics and I will remove the songs once voting is over.
I apologize in advance. If you want to remove yourself from the compo because of this I will.
Thanks,

9 hours left to vote!
I'm not sure Tricky will be around for the closing. BUT I will shut off the email address.
The votes will NOT be announced immediately. There needs to be a little time to make sure the votes are counted properly.
Thanks

Voting is now officially closed.
The votes will be tallied and the winners announced.
Please be patient.

HERE WE GO!!!
The votes have been counted and double checked. And so we come to the final results. I propose before the money is paid out to wait one week, in that week people can put in their protest if I still missed a few errors in double checking the votes. Of course, the votes as they stand in my database file cannot be changed anymore, I only take on protest if I made a miscalculation or missed a vote for somebody in my file.
With that said the standing is as follows:
THE WINNER OF THE SOON $35 COMPO IS:
With 33 points, the $20 is for:
#19 Behind the sun, by Solo
With 31 points the $10 is for:
#17 Saba Storm, by Ozman Yarman
With 24 points the $5 is for:
#14 Nahkranoth-INT-1d10, by Nahkranoth
With that the money has been decided, but of course, we may never forget the other contestants
4th place: 14 points
#05 Erm Bubbles, by Screaming Egg Notion
5th place: 12 points
#09 Inside Xerxes, by Ceekayed

And then there are 4 entries who didn't get any points at all.
I still want them to have a warm applause, as even though they didn't get any votes, they took the trouble to participate with good entries, so they too deserve the honor.

I'll soon post a screenshot of my database, so you can see if I counted all votes correctly
Thanks to everyone who entered this compo, and to all who voted.
Too bad 4 votes have been rejected due to an invalid format and 14 because of fraud. That's too bad, but still we got a clear ranking.
If you see your own vote missing in my database, then it means the vote never reached me (or that is was removed/rejected in the reason stated above), and can not be counted. As said the votes as I have them are final, I only accept protest for counting/calculation errors.
Thank you
Jeroen Broks a.k.a. Tricky

First place is Saba Storm by Ozan Yarman
Second place is Freaks we are by dj Alces
Third place is Behind The Sun by solo
All data including the actual email votes for the contest can be found here:
http://2009contest.soonlabel.com/contest/
There were a large number of irregular and duplicate votes - all involving Saba Storm.
However removal of these votes did not change the 1st place position.
The next time I do a contest... IF I do one again, a solution for this will be found.
In the end all votes that followed the requested format needed to be honored.
I will contact the winners for distribution of the prize money.

clones, if you need a tool for vote counting, you could have a look at the compo managers we use for our regular one hour compos; one of them is lazyslash compo manager (http://wiki.s3m.us/lazyslash-compo-manager).
