On the NGADM, the RAC and such.

Posted by Troisnyx - August 11th, 2012


LiquidOoze has been picked as my opponent for Round 1 NGADM. I do not know what to expect anymore; I'll only make sure I have no regrets for this round.

I have resubmitted Propter Te into the contest. Considering there is still time before the Round 1 deadline, I'm going to try and knock out the few kinks that I can knock out.

In signing up for the RAC 2012 (and representing the UK) I had two options:

1) either something orchestral, which is directly inspired by English hymns (and/or liturgical music), or
2) something with very strong local influence, evocative of a ceilidh.

I have decided to go for the latter.

For the uninitiated, a ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) is a Scottish or Irish dance gathering. I am taking it in the Scots context. I love actually participating in ceilidhs whenever there are any near me. Now most ceilidh music is around 90-100 BPM, but there is an exception: there is a dance called Strip the Willow, which is the most upbeat and the most physically demanding of all the dances. That can easily hit 140 BPM or maybe a little higher.

I am thinking of borrowing elements from ceilidh music, and I am throwing in a bit of English flair -- the kind you would hear from Mumford & Sons. You might also hear something evocative of Highland dance... maybe.

Some time back I did something evocative of an electric ceilidh -- a remix of Herty140's Barnyard Ball (the original can be found here). This is now one of my favourite ceilidh-style pieces. Whether or not the RAC song will be like this... we'll have to wait and see!

helo let's be friends

Certainly! : )

Also good luck on NGADM, next time maybe Awezoom should compete, he would rock this whole thing in my opinion.

(see: NorskeD's incident.)

Yes, I know -- Norske was my opponent, so I'm very well-versed in the issue. I doubt Awezoom has Newgrounds though.

Thanks btw! ^_^

Awezoom does has a Newgrounds account.

awezoomstudios.newgrounds.com

Ah, so he just registered to make clear of the identity of his songs.

Yes, true... but I wonder if his songs of his are fully copyrighted and is ignorant of the Creative Commons 3.0 Licensing here? I'm just wondering....

sorry, i meant to say "wonder if his songs of his are fully copyrighted OR* is ignorant of..."

He may notice....... I think that's part of the reason why he only put up four songs on his page. I wonder if the lot of them are actually on Soundcloud.

Yeah I saw his SC... he has a LOT of songs on the 'Cloud.

But seriously though, he would rock NGADM.

By the way, I just "fanned" you, the first song I heard from you was actually on Mother's day, so...
that's a few months ago I believe. Well... good luck...

Thank you. <3 Yes, that song was for the May NAC, in honour of my late mother. Just.... thank you for supporting me.
