Circuit Bent Competition
« on: July 26, 2009, 08:34:31 PM »
Ok, it seems like getlofi isn't hosting any competition. So why don't we just have our own right here on the board ?

Rules could be as the ones getlofi had, or it could just be within a timeframe.
Prices ? What prices ! Unless someone would like to sponsor something to the winner.
Maybe circuitbenders.co.uk could contact getlofi.com to host a competition togheter !

Ayways, vote !

If someone can think up a decent idea for a competition then i'm all for it. In fact there was a thread on here a while back where i was asking for competition ideas but the best ones anyone came up with were competitive commodore Amiga hurling and doing cover versions of Britney Spears songs using circuitbent kit.

I'm not entirely sure what we could do about a prize but i'm sure we can come up with something,

I'd be interested. It'll give me an excuse to go buy crap to bend.

Well I think the getlofi method was pretty cool.. 1 day for everything !

But of course it would be cooler to come up with our own concept.. But what are the possebilities ?

Pricez would be really cool.. Would also motivate people, and more would join ! Also, it's good publicity for circuitbenders :-D

Let's hypothetically say we go with a cover version of something.. Should it be performed live (I think so), is computer allowed, what about MIDI or samplers..

Cover versions of songs would be pretty cool.
How would the judgement play out?
Would there be a Cowellesque fascist entity or would it be via people power?

The 'buy n' bend' approach is a good one.
the winner could get all of the losers bent toys :)

I'd really be into it if it was a "buy and bend" thing. But I know that was done, so yeah whatev whatev.

How about any equipment with points awarded for geekyness (nothing for doing it in Reason, several million for doing it in your period-accurate replica of the Putney studio), and any Kraftwerk track?

If at first you don't succeed, stick it through a fuzzbox.

Surely it'd be more entertaining to do covers of something completely unrelated to electronic music? There'd be a lot more directions to come at it from so people would have to be more original and we'd end up with a lot more variety.

Personally i suspect i could do without listening to a hundred very similar sounding circuitbent versions of the same kraftwerk tracks. Britney Spears sounds like more of a laugh to me.

Or nominate the over-hyped pop phenomena of your choice.....................

if we have a theme then we get a variety. i think alot of versions of glitchy barbie girl or womanizer could get boring so dont make the theme tooooo vague
