REMIX COMPO!

<img width="60%" height="60%" src="images/remix_compo_arok.png"> <strong>REMIX COMPO</strong> Greetings, 8-bitlings! Welcome to our ONLINE C64 Remix Competition! <strong>Background story</strong>: &Aacute;rok party is an annual 8-bit demoscene event in Hungary, which, due to the unfortunate COVID situation won't happen this year. &Aacute;rok is (in)famous for its friendly atmosphere and its REMIX COMPETITION - no other 8-bit demoscene event had ever such a compo! We miss the event so much that we want to honor it with organizing an online version of the unique challenge. &Aacute;rok Party team and SLAY Radio proudly present: <strong>&Aacute;ROK TRIBUTE REMIX COMPO</strong> &Aacute;rok started the annual Remix Competitions right after the MP3 player card for the IDE64 was released. Just to be authentic, all the releases were played on the C64 since the beginning. Participants take their favourite 8-bit songs and recreate them without limits, using modern instrumentation. Join the fun, and compete with your own creation! <strong>Rules:</strong> * Pick any SID from the history of C64 music and be creative * Upload your contribution to <a href="https://slay.radio/arok">https://slay.radio/arok</a> (MP3, min. 192kbps bitrate) * Deadline: Tuesday, August 11, 2020 - 23:59:59 CEST - Link expires after this, so be on time! * Compo: Thursday, August 13, 2020 at 20:00 CEST on SLAY Radio in our live show * Contributions will be faded out after 4m 30s during the compo * Contributions per artist is not limited, but be reasonable please * Voting opens from the start of the compo and closes on Friday, August 14, 2020 23:00 * Results will be announced on August 15 on our webpage and social media channels * Please fill your entry's ID3 tag with Title and Composer data. Please denote SID and subtune the remix is based on. We encourage all participants to write a few sentences about their remixes (why you chose it, what inspired you - Anything goes) in TXT or DOC format. This text will be displayed on the video stream. Upload MP3 and TXT/DOC as a ZIP! Keep the competition clean and have fun! Whether you compete with a remix or not, tune in to SLAY Radio and enjoy the show! &Aacute;rok is not dead - It is just hibernating for a year. See you online and on location in 2021! <strong>Spread the word!</strong>

New album: Cinematic 64

<img width="35%" src="images/Cinematic64_news_image.png"> <iframe style="float:left;padding-right: 15px; border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3183874541/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/tracklist=false/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="http://slaygon.bandcamp.com/album/cinematic64">Cinematic64 by Slaygon</a></iframe><strong>Over the past few years</strong>, I have been working on an album. Granted, it is not the longest one you have ever come across (tee-hee), and likely not even the best, unless you have been hiding under a rock in the Amazonas, honing your ant communication skills, in which case it is absolutely amazing! It does, however, have some songs on it. Some even have notes in them, and others have some cool sounds. One even has guitars from <strong>Vaggelis Papadopoulos</strong>! What they all have in common, is that they start before they end. The other thing they have in common is that they are remixes of Commodore 64 SIDs. And the third that they are on the same album, which has been gloriously mastered by Lagerfeldt. And it has a gorgeous album cover by Trevor Storey. Just look at it! <strong>The aim was to create a cinematic soundscape that I would enjoy hearing on a somewhat dark type of movie. Perhaps that would tickle your ears too.</strong> Proceeds from sales will go toward all sorts of things needed for SLAY Radio, like hardware to host the home page, streaming software, licenses, microphones, sound cards and various other bits to be able to keep streaming and put my ugly face and occasionally a concert or two on that there Youtubes and Facebooks of the world via webcams and such. And of course, some of the proceeds would go toward buying more noisy stuff so I can do more music in the future, most of which is being released for free on <a href="https://remix.kwed.org/" target="_new">Remix.Kwed.Org</a>, so you would be supporting that side of things too! So, if there is any interest in supporting any of this (potentially minus the ugly mug on cam), you can head over here: <a href="https://cinematic64.com" target="_new" style="background:linear-gradient(to bottom, #7e96cc 2%, #0c141f 100%);background-color:#595b6b;border-radius:5px;border:1px solid #d1d1d1;display:inline-block;cursor:pointer;color:#eeeeee;font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding:5px 24px 8px;text-decoration:none;text-shadow:0px 1px 0px #575757;">CINEMATIC64.COM</a> The math to calculate the album cost is really complicated, so allow me to walk you through it; one (1) EUR per track, seven (7) for the album. Because seven tracks. There may or may not be a bonus track or two. If you backed the <a href="https://8-bit-symphony.com" target="_new">8-bit-symphony.com</a> kickstarter, you will get this album through that! You can find a wonderful review of the album by LaLa on Remix64: <a href="https://www.remix64.com/reviews/slaygon-cinematic-64-review-by-lala.html" target="_new">https://www.remix64.com/reviews/slaygon-cinematic-64-review-by-lala.html</a>
