Hyundai 30Beats Remix – Colin Millard

Colin Millard

Colin has always been interested in electronic music and loves to make his own tracks at home, everything from breakbeat to rock. He studied music technology at university and his ultimate dream is to make it as a professional producer.

Colin tells us:

“I loved the idea of the competition and thought it would be great to try and find some tonal quality in the sounds and make actual melodies out of them, even the rising trance-style synth in the chorus is made out of an electric window sound.”

Starts alright but loses it’s way. Does it really need to be 3 mins?

Heh, this competition is out of control…
Unfortunately, it won’t be the person with the best song or video, but the one with enough time on their hands to down-vote everyone else that will be the winner, at this rate.

Shame…

Not bad but not even a stab at a vid? Lazy and a bit of a let down. Check out Nikky French’s if you want some tips on that front!

Awesome track…you deserve to win this chica

I’m a musician. I don’t make video’s. It said I didn’t have to make a video, and I didn’t want to.

Col
Posted on 6th October, 2009

Eugene is absolutely right. To coin a phrase, ‘It’s not about the music anymore’.

It makes me a bit sad really. I spent a hell of a lot of time obsessing over the tinyest details of the mix and arrangement and just generally making this thing as good as I possibly could.

And now all that’s out the window and it’s just about how much support you can gather from your friends and facebook contacts. Yes, I’m doing it too, because I still want to win.

But if I do I won’t feel like it was because I had the best track.

Col
Posted on 6th October, 2009

Incidentally just so there’s no confusion, the winner will be the one with the MOST STARS OVERALL at the end of the contest, NOT the one with the highest average rating.

So the ‘down-voting’ others by giving them one star tactic doesn’t work, it actually gives them a higher score (thanks to all those that have been doing this for me!)

You can work it out:
Total stars = No of votes * Average rating

And yes, this does mean I’m currently getting my ass whooped.

I understand exactly where you’re coming from, Colin. At least the new way of determining the winner eliminates the need for petty tactical voting though. Good luck and good work on the track.

Hey yer i know what you mean. I think the competition should be jusged externally, but then how would they get a list of hundreds of peoples email addresses???

Good luck hope you go all the way, doesnt lok like im going to! lol

Col
Posted on 6th October, 2009

Thanks a lot Tim.

Yeah it’s tricky one, it just needs more exposure really so there are so many voters the friends votes hardly count…

dalicat
Posted on 6th October, 2009

pretty slick

Eugene
Posted on 7th October, 2009

Yeh, I agree with all that. All that work to make something that’s judged by support. Ah well, could be worse. I just want to get some kind of car, that’s all I’m driven by… sucks being me right now, heh.

Good luck (again), Colin..

Very dynamic, i can see why this could be the winner. Still, it should be tighter in my opinion. And yes you are right colin, in the industry other people do the music, other people do the video production. Good luck!

Posted on 8th October, 2009

Agree with comments on the rules re voting. Sucks but you guys just have to get on with it, you guys sound beaten already!

Anyway, this track is banging, thorough enjoyment. I don’t care for the videos and haven’t even been watching the ones with videos so no deducted points on that front from me.

Just before I go to bed, also check out this awesome comment I just found on Youtube about the i30:

‘That Car its Amazing! Here in my country there are a lot but the only persons who drives it are womens! Not mans yet! Womens On Power!’

This entry is obviously technically the most advanced and true to the original criteria, it also sounds brilliant, especially loud!!! five stars.

Beautifully crafted, a real piece of music, agree with virgin,sounds awesome through big speakers!!

trash
Posted on 13th October, 2009

virgin, it clearly shows your lack of understanding of music technology that you say this is the most technically advanced of the entries. i think this track, although ok, might have been advanced in 1986. it certainly doesnt hook me in enough to get anywhere in my book.

Keep talkin trash!!

Oh dear trash! Don’t you understand the concept of ‘support’? We’re supposed to be commenting on the music, not each other!!

I think it really picks up from 45 seconds to about 1.5 mins. I could drive to work listening to that and it would seriously brighten up my morning. Like the ending too.
Great effort.

45 seconds to 1.5 mins is the best part. Can really imagine driving to work listening to that.. .would brighten up my morning. Like the ending too.
Great effort.

Thanks Colin for the congrats. It was a crazy few hours. Running about like a nutter until midnight. I was very lucky that Thomas’s votes hardly rose at all that last evening. Allowing me to just get there. As with Thomas, your tune was one of the best up here and i wish you well with your music.
