Electribe Synth Contest 2 - Horror Edition

Post by blackholesun »

Alright, so the 2nd Electribe synth contest is here. With Autumn, October and Halloween right around the corner, I thought it would be appropriate to do a horror themed contest.

Rules:
- Make a track to soundtrack a non-existent (or existing) horror film or make a track featuring the scariest sounding noises you can muster. As long as it evokes the feeling of horror or terror. (Quick example of one of my favorite horror movie soundtracks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnFc7D0ZoCc)

- Must be created with a synth model of the Electribe. No sampling allowed. You may use any PCM or drum samples that are on the Electribe however. You may use more than one Electribe as well. No post processing or post effects are allowed.

- Submissions will be taken until October 9th, 2015 at Midnight - California time. From there, a poll will run for one week where voting will commence.

- You may post your submissions in this thread or PM them to me.

Prize:
You will get the honor of setting up the next Electribe synth contest if you so desire.

And the winner will get a little care package put together by yours truly, mailed out to wherever you are in the world.

Hope to hear some great tunes. Good luck!

Love it.

No samples, how about the PCM waves in em1, EMX, or e2, which are technically samples.....drums?

Thanks!

If it's a bunch of body parts I'm gonna be very upset.

Cool! :D So, is it allowed to run for instance the EMX through the E2's effects and filters, and then record into a DAW? Are multiple takes allowed, and is it allowed to sequence the Electribe's from the DAW? Not that I necessarily will do this, just want to clarify :)

Yes to all of the above. Just no effects or sounds from anything that isn't a synth version of the Electribe.

This sounds awesome. If I can finish the other sample challenge in time (http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=99793), I'm definitely jumping on this one. So many ideas floating around in my head for what to do! :D

btw excellent use of a theme, blackholesun!

Actually, if it's for the body of a Mercedes Benz 300E I can use them. A little fender-bender has my left, front turn signal out and the headlight hanging on for dear life.

Didn't I hear the Denver PD are looking for a Merc that was involved in a hit-and-run the other day?

Just a reminder that the deadline for this is coming up on Friday. No submissions so far. I'm willing to extend the deadline if anyone intends to record something, but is short on time. Show me what you got!

I'll have to pass on this one i'm afraid, but thanks for hosting it. :(
If I'm not listening to music, or if I'm not making music, then I'm probably thinking about music.

Volca Sample, FM, Beats, Kick. OP-1, Monologue, Pocket Operators. And an ipad.

If I have anything it will likely be close to the deadline. I had houseguests for 10 days then was sick for a week, the kind of sick where you just stay in bed and go to the toilet.....not the the kind of sick where you still feel good enough to jam on the tribes.....
