Music

In case a compo attracts a big amount of entries, preselection will be done. For a detailed account on preselection and its practice at Evoke, see here.

Competition: MP3/OGG

  • Required format: OGG or MP3.
  • Maximum playing time: 3:30, longer songs will be faded out from 3:30 to 3:40.
  • Playback with current Winamp 5.x version.

Competition: Tracked Music - “Libertine” Remix

This year, we decided to honour another PC demoscene classic: “Libertine”, the soundtrack from Cascada’s “Hex Appeal” (1993). Minimalistic sample usage and a catchy melody make it a particularly thankful remix candidate. The compo is endorsed by the original composer, Zodiak/Cascada.

The original song (libertine.mod) is available for download at Modland. Please keep in mind that despite the .mod file extension, this is a 6-channel Fast Tracker 2 module.

  • Supported formats: XM IT S3M MOD RNS XRNS
  • You are only allowed to use the original samples, no additional samples are allowed. You are not allowed to duplicate, cut or modify a sample via your tracker’s sample editor, apart from setting, moving or removing a loop. All other sample modifications have to be done via tracker commands. The original order of samples in the sample list has to remain intact.
  • Some of the original melodies should be recognisable at least somewhere in you remix.
  • Usage of VST plugins is NOT allowed.
  • If you use Renoise, you are NOT allowed to use the internal effect and instrument devices. Also, you are allowed to use only one effect column at a time.
  • Maximum playing time: 3:30, longer songs will be faded out from 3:30 to 3:40.
  • Playback with current versions of OpenMPT (XM, S3M, IT), 8bitbubsy’s ProTracker (MOD), or Renoise (RNS, XRNS).
