Hey @LyingDalai 
Thanks for the quote, I haven’t been active there for a while !
Looks like an interesting brief, it remembers me something I made a few years ago
But there is some loops that makes it out of rules !

Hey, nice to see you here again ^^
Hope you can take the time to create another awesome (sound)track!
Hi, what a nice idea. I’ll digest this a couple of days and see if I can come up with something.

Hi all, first post. Just got my OP-1 before Christmas. Apologies, as I’m just getting to grips with “battles” concept.
In this instance, is the goal to create a soundtrack for @LyingDalai s video? So the results would be how people interpreted the video differently? Or, do we make our own visuals?
Cheers.
I thought I made it clear in the brief, sorry.
You are free to
- create your own video
- use the one I did
- use the stems from the one I did (sources in the video comments) and adapt the video to your taste
- use no video and create a soundtrack for an imaginary movie

Would you mind sharing at least one of your sounds / patches?
I love the idea of some links between tracks, which is the idea behind rule #5 
is there a place I can easily post some stems?
I wouldn’t know what’s best.
Maybe create a KLN account on dropbox for hosting music purpose?
You may also use Elektronauts Files as you have an account there
You can even drop your track there!
I have made a video. I have not yet made any music. I wonder if there might be an extension on the cards?
@kln When i click on the SoundCloud link it gives me the default SoundCloud login page, want to hear your track, would you check the link?
Thanks!

[Mod edit] I included the link alone on a line so that Discourse can integrate the soundcloud miniapp directly.
Of course there is an extension!
Seems my brief has not inspired a lot of people, very unfortunately.
Or maybe it’s the lack of time and winter weather.
I have something cooking but it’s far from ready yet… So I can understand ^^
Deadline extended to March “Pi day” 14th!

I was very much hoping to get something done for this one-of-its-kind battle. And here it is.
I wanted to lean on my less loved synths, the DBOX and the Cluster and my own voice. And I did! Though I also leaned a lot on the COW which must appear in every OP-1 tune I’ve made.
Occasionally I take my GoPro on a bike ride and capture some scenery. This video is a long GoPro shot put through various effects I found in kdenlive.
Hope you like it!
I did not remember to include something from a previous entry, unfortunately. I like the idea but I simply forgot.
Peace and sonic experimentation

I wanted to get back into the battles, but this one seemed too ambitious and scared me off… I’ll probably join the next one!
Don’t put walls where there aren’t 
Just basically make noise and try to organize it so that you feel something when it is juxtaposed to pictures.
It’s actually quite a nice experience!
so. as the deadline approaches. I also was kinda gaffing by this challenge. like, I mean, I do make battle beats and try to think about the rules. so I took 2,3,4 rules into account. my marker was ear based. like, I listened and then recorded a bunch of stuff. and then explored it trying to make a noise like no one has ever heard. I spent a bunch of time considering loops, and ended up keying in just, no beat, in my head. phones. = headphones
if you need to disqualify my entry because I do not have accompanying video, than so be it.
I was almost sure I had said somewhere that it was not mandatory to have a video, creating a soundtrack of some sort is the idea here.
Reading again my brief, I can’t see why I haven’t made this easier to read… I had such great expectations!
I wanted to draw a line to make it easier: I just made it way more complicated that needed…
You’re of course qualified, dear ^^
The aim is to have pleasure developing creativity and exploring new tracks. It’s not like there is some big ass prize in the end
my personal big ass prize is my dear OP-1, to no end. spill a cup.

This battle was a fantastic idea. I’ve never tried anything like it and although I’m not all that good on keys to begin with, I gave it a shot.
Might still be in upload, really sliding this in one last minute.
cheers everyone!

I am really glad that you took a shot at it! It’s the main object of such battle, having fun experimenting!

Does anyone need a last extension or shall we close this battle?
Let me know. If I have no answer tomorrow, I’ll launch the votes
