Well, sorry Sacul. I already know that Gazpacho song, so I'll have to reject your submission. I'm unfamiliar with most of Gazpacho's discography, but I know and like Missa Atropos quite well and I listened to Demon a few times as well, often enough so that I'm already pretty familiar with the song you sent.

If it's any consolation, I though Demon was pretty boring overall, so that might just save you from a bad score :P

And as for results, if Sacul resends soon Sunday evening seems realistic for me. It's only 2 songs, but I still need to have a bit of time between listens so I don't get burned out on them.

That sounds even more interesting, actually :lol. Kind of like Beethoven's later string quartets, only nothing but violins.


Also, I never answered you previously because you already sent before I saw you had asked. In short, I'd say that I don't like to listen to songs that much in a short amount of time, basically 6/7 times is the most I can realistically do in the timeframe that seems to be expected from roulettes before I write results. That said, Power Metal with Symphonic elements is usually pretty accessible for me, meaning I know how much I like it pretty fast.
For example, I have listened to both yours and Nekov's songs for this round already, and despite your song being twice as long as his I'm already pretty sure of the score yours will get, while the range for Nekov's song is still pretty wide. That's not saying anything about how much I like them, so don't interpret too much into this score for the round.

Sent Parama's song too :P

So when can we expect results? I went with a 10-min track but it's pretty accessible so it shouldn't take many listens to sink in  :angel:

I sent a 9-min track too, so I guess results next month?

Mine's less than 5 minutes. Do I get extra points for making the judge's job easier?  ::)

I mean, the violins are a little part of the instrumentation but it wouldn't surprise me a certain judge overreacted for them and meh'd the song :angel:

Choosing between that and a R&B track, resending soon.

Of course you meh'd it, 425 - your tastes haven't developed the patrician qualities needed to understand harsh noise. I'm sure Mr Red will appreciate how that noise came from amplifying to death the artist's farts, and Tyrias will probably cry after reading the story behind the song, both handing me perfect scoresand bonus point to ccompensate for 425's. I've won, bitches  :hat

On a serious note, I hope we can get results this weekend  :smiley:

Sacul: Harsh Noise - Harsh Noise

I found this to be pretty unaccessible at first, despite it's simplicity. But then I figured: Well, this isn't quite your standard song, so I shouldn't try to appreciate it for things normal songs do. I mean, song structures, melodies, harmonies, who needs that anyway. Having rid myself of all that earthly ballast, my mind finally felt free for the first time since I was born, unconstrained by habits and institutionsimprinted into our very thoughts and the way our mind works by the workings of social conditioning. This masterpieces' relentless, crushing existence opened my eyes to the harsh, cruel and hidden workings of the real world. Everything I always thought I knew was just a social construct, and hearing this structureless piece in all its breathtakingly uncompromising glory finally made me appreciate that unwithstanding truth. I was reborn, transcending simple human-ness. Yet I feel that, after almost 22 years of lying to myself, I was finally reborn into the being I was always meant to become. Having freed myself of all the social constructs inherent to humankind's ways, I can no longer identify with that short-lived, inferior species. My spirit has ascended, but I felt I had to commit one last act of service to humankind by writing this point.
I must thus tell you that, unfortunately, I won't be able to come back and finish judging the final rounds. Such simple, unimportant pleasures of the flesh are no longer something my ascended spirit wishes to partake in. As a last act of graciousness, I declare Sacul the winner of this roulette of the inferior human species, for finally showing me the errors of my short-lived existence in human form. Maybe I will see some of you in the realms of ascension after you listen to this mind-opening masterpiece. Goodbye.

On a slightly more serious note, results from me on sunday at the earliest. I still haven't heard Sacul's new song and I want to sleep over it and digest it for 2 nights at least.

Quote from: Mr. Red
Sacul: Harsh Noise - Harsh Noise

Wow. Just... wow. This piece is indescribable. It's beautiful, yet mysterious; foreboding yet comforting; foggy yet clear; harsh yet noisy. The effort it must have taken the band to play this piece of music must have been immense. I am absolutely speechless. The intro starts off with that harsh noise sound... then the harsh noise builds up into more harsh noise until that climax of harsh noise just blows me away with that resounding harsh noise... then fades away into more harsh noise until the ending where the harsh noise ends. I mean... bra. vo. This was so powerful. Emotional. I am in tears. I don't know if I can listen to it again though. It's just like a punch in the gut. So thank you, Sacul, for this gift of music. Thank you.

Sacul: Sacul's band - dissonant violins
After all the hype I was expecting some real dissonance, but those violins are about as dissonant as honey is salty. Me is disappoint.
2/10 would not listen again

Yes, since he wrote that 425 shouldn't overreact to them.
I was expecting at least as much dissonance as in this one (at least the first few minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK75WCcUDkM

I was disappointed.

Tbh I was worried 425 might overreact to the violins because he kind of lowered my score on a song on his first roulette because it had much tribal drumming, despite them being featured in less than 5% of the 19-minute song :'(
