Aleatoric Contest Rulement break report

2007-01-06 by axiombass

Hi all,
i'm sorry to bother you but i've noticed some songs that are out of 3
minutes duration limit.
Duration limit is the only rule you set for this contest and i'm very
sorry to see people not following
this simple single rule.

The songs are:

Title: "War or Roses" - Filename: 01 DON'T GET JAZZY WITH ME.mp3 -
Duration: 6:02

Title: "shooting back" - Filename: shooting_back.mp3 - Duration: 3:42

Title "Sideral Trip" - Filename: Sideral trip.mp3 - Duration: 8:00

Title: "The Foundry" - Filename:
sonar_and_space_axe_experiment_three___i_must_be_going___the_foundry.mp3
- Duration: 4:19

Title: "Sunit Cellar - following dust up a sunbeam" - Filename:
sunlit_cellar___following_dust_up_a_sunbeam.mp3 - Duration: 3:53

Thank you very much and kindest regards,
Luca

automatically start at the top and not complete listening to all entries :-(

also, when i open the files in my musicplayer it gives the artist for
some and not others - was this supposed to be like a blind taste test,
or was it up to the submitting artist to include their name or not?

(We thought about a random mix of all of the entries on
each page refresh, but thought that might that drive us
all crazy!)

The system code was written to offer anonymity if desired...

Seth. 

I don't think it is stated anywhere however that a condition of
qualification must be to suppress one's meta data if embedded
into the submission itself,  (did we ever say that?  maybe?)

Theoretically, one could submit a three-minute commercial
for your own hair growth products, or Tupperware parties
and still qualify under our, "anything goes" provision.
(Thankfully, no one really did quite that).

I guess I could have submitted a three-minute recording of me
saying "Cynthia Webster loves bunny rabbits!" over and over
without breaking any rules.

(One would just cringe in such a case ideally, and hope that
the voting public would recognize the materials innate lack of
appropriateness to the subject of War & Peace, and insidious
lack of um... er, well, "Bugginess"!)

(Besides, that would be "bunniness", not "bugginess!")

For example, there are a few extremely competent pieces
which I feel are just way too "normal" but then,
might "normal" - be different in the eye of each beholder?

hey jay, which entry was yours?  i hope it was the jazzwhistler song
because i used my l33t hacking skills to vote 15,000 for you!  i never
knew you took enough time off from posting negative messages on every
single english language synthesizer group to hone such world class
jazz whistling skills!  bravo!
