GHF Presents: the 2nd official production competition!

Dewey dB · **Posted:** Mon Apr 11, 2011 12:55 pm

So here's the deal:

Glitch Hop Forum is now 2 years old and we are sitting at 5000 members. A pretty huge accomplishment for our little community. We've had some pretty good times and a couple bad ones, but one thing is for sure. Glitch Hop and Midtempo are starting to be heard on bigger and better systems worldwide. We've seen some of our own get some great exposure and we've cultivated a community that respects each other and helps it grow. Being a bunch of like minded techy geeks, we've set a bar for the quality of music we expect to hear and we've stuck by that mandate while receiving and gaining help from the production gurus and many masters of their craft. Now it's your turn to join in on our success and we are presenting the second contest in the Glitch Hop Forum showcase.

--------
RULES & GUIDELINES
--------

- The theme of the contest will be FEAR OF THINGS (Phobias)
- Judges will give extra consideration to people who stick close to the theme.
- No remixes.
- It must be completely original material.
- If it does have samples (that anyone will ever recognize), they must be cleared before you send it in.
- Submissions must be in by June 1st
- Only one submission per artist. So please be sure before you submit.
- Please e-mail submissions in 320kbps mp3 format to: contest@glitchhopforum.com
- A handful of the top submissions will be selected & offered the opportunity to have their track released on a GHF compilation on Woofer Cookers. This will be the first ever official Glitch Hop Forum release!
- You can still enter the contest even if you do not wish to be on this compilation.
- There is no guarantee you will be selected for the compilation just because you entered the competition.

Only if the vocals are cleared before you send it in. It has to be original work and not a remix.

i wanna join this competitiion as well.. are News-samples ok? i mean, who would i have to clear some news clip with? is it considered pre-cleared, perhaps? it better be.

BiGG TiME · **Posted:** Tue Apr 12, 2011 8:15 am

Ya so like, old zombie movie samples would have to be cleared, or?

CancerofLove · **Posted:** Tue Apr 12, 2011 9:46 am

if i'm not mistaken, the original night of the living dead is in the public domain...

StrangeFlow · **Posted:** Tue Apr 12, 2011 10:24 am

You definitely could, the question is whether or not the bunnies would believe you.

...and Dewey, who the hell lit that hooka for ya? I wanna be able to take pulls first thing just like that.

Dewey dB · **Posted:** Tue Apr 12, 2011 12:05 pm

Regarding sampling, the rules state:

Quote:

If it does have samples (that anyone will ever recognize), they must be cleared before you send it in.

Interpret them how you choose.

Inregards to prelit hookah, the bunnies light my hookah every morning.

Roric · **Posted:** Tue Apr 12, 2011 1:38 pm

Now that is a proper refrigerator.
Time to get back into the lab.

Elena · **Posted:** Tue Apr 12, 2011 2:04 pm

I love the video by the way!

I am actually not sure if my skills are ready to enter this sort of thing.

I just want a midi fighter!! BUTTONS!!!

Stab Master Arson · **Posted:** Tue Apr 12, 2011 3:45 pm

Yah super good video! How the hell do you find time to do all these projects of yours Dewey?

I doubt my skills are ready yet either Elena, but fuck it might as well try. I'm really glad to hear that phresha has some prizes in there, she is fucking amazing.

One more thing, I just got the Vespers audio weapons template, and it will play a large role in my submission, included in it are some bass samples and vocal samples, am I allowed to use those? I know Vespers won't care, will you guys?

Now I just need to decide what kind of phobia I'm going to use...
perhaps: Electrogeniphobia: The Fear of urinating during an electrical storm.
or
Arachibutyrophobia: The Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth
