The Martyn Ware / Fairlight / Propellerhead Users contest – Results

Categories:

by bitley

Winner track (Martyn Ware’s selection): Brent Rossen aka Dig Team One – “The 80′s ?!?”

“A beautifully arranged and produced song with a haunting arrangement – a lot of thought and skill has gone into this – I found it impossible to turn off before the end – an object lesson in songwriting lyrically and musically”

Martyn Ware’s Runner-up 1: A Million Tiny Architects – “Auf Eis Legen”

“I love the weird epic nature of this, plus beautiful and unique vocal and electronic arrangements”

The second runner-up from Martyn Ware: Mickey Dodds aka Micky Direland – “Not In My Pocket”

“At least made an effort to pass social comment – and I like that – we need more – really like the palette of sounds too”

The winner gets The Fairlight XXL ReFill as well as the latest B.E.F. box set as well as the Human League albums Reproduction and Travelogue.

The runners-up gets The Fairlight II+ ReFill

But it’s not over yet!

Bitley’s Reserve Winner: Artotaku – “My Fair Lady”

“I absolutely love your programming in your track “My Fair Lady”, beautiful and simply stunning given that you worked with a 3 Mb (!) soundset.”

Artotaku also gets the Fairlight XXL refill for his efforts. Congratulations to all of you and thank you very much, goes out to all participants. We were absolutely stunned by the response we got, over 30 tracks were skillfully and masterfully created, arranged and produced in just about no time at all!

All tracks are published on this SoundCloud page, and it is now a go-to page for hearing new fresh Reason ideas made with the DeLight refill.

Thanks a lot to Rob Puricelli aka Failed Muso for being the host and inventor of this competition!
