MUSICCOMPO çddf,faa,afa,aaf,faf,ffa,aff ¢ MUSICCOMPETITION - THE JOKE ¼ by Epithal/Limited Edition (on-site at the Party 3) ¹ Who said musiccompos are fair? Not the organisers of The Party 3 anyway. The whole compo was a joke and a big shame to Amiga musicians who compose great tunes just to find that their work never gets played. But there are some tunes that gets played, but these are jokes and bad techno-styles. I mean, tune no 19 in this years competition was a real disgrace to all Amiga music, and I heard some other tunes wich were not played that I became fond of immidiately when I heard them. Last year, great musicians like Jogeir Liljedahl and Nhp & Bkh were not selected for the final vote and this year it was even worse. A musiccompetition CAN'T be fair. That's a fact, but at least I think it can be more fair than it was today! Random selection is definitely out of question, since Mr.Cool/The Bests can compete with his 12 kb ST-01 tune when great musicians just have to watch (and cry). On bigger events where there are hundreds of contributions, there is no way to let the audience hear all of the tunes, but the JURY should at least listen to them. It's the organisers' responsabilities to make the competition as fair as possible. Where is the jury? I think that a ¶list of all jurymembers should be published on the bulletinboard. Everybody who wants to, with a limit ofcourse, should be allowed to be in the jury. There is no way of organising a competition where everybody gets satisfied, but I hope in the future, that we get much better compos. Finally, I just want to say that this party is very well organised and that the musiccompo is the only thing that can be complaint about. ³Colorbird here!
