In The Era Post-Eldritch (72HAC)

~By Sebastian Tomczak

I have finished my 72HAC:
In The Era Post-Eldritch

Chew-Z is marketed with the slogan, God promises eternal life. We can deliver it. Those who take the drug have experiences akin to the afterlife in both western and eastern religions. Chew-Z allows a person to live “eternally” in that it seemingly eliminates time and space; a trip that actually lasts only minutes can seem to last hours, days or possibly years. It also is akin to reincarnation in that it allows a person to experience his or her surroundings as a new life form.

"Let's let the big boys and girls have a turn to be really challenged and learn something.

What differenciates between a normal 42HC and a 72HAC is the means of which the composition is made or with what types of media it's made. Conventional chips or trackers are discouraged in order to present an educational and challenging, obstacle-ridden goal to the already skilled hacker/musician.

Can you hac it?

...

For the first challenge, I call out little-scale.

I 72HAC you to create a ~5 minute song using a single TIA and two additional mixing tracks; three tracks in all. One track must solely be the TIA and its two channels. The other two tracks can only be YOUR vocals or generated vocals. I will set no limit to what can be done with the vocals. Extreme manipulation is encouraged. However, the TIA track must remain pure. As an added but unnecessary goal, please try to make the overall melodies of the TIA sensical. (We both know it's possible... but challenging. ;D)

little-scale do you accept the 72 Hour Advanced Challenge?"

For the next challenge, I call out nitro2k01.

Dear nitro2k01,
For the 72HAC I am proposing to you two options. You may choose whichever you feel is best for you at this point in your life.

Option 1
- Write a "micro EP" with at least 10 tracks (each track is equal to one minute or less).
- You may use as many as two Game Boys.
- You must only use channel 3 in sample mode (kit).
- You must only use drum kits that you make yourself specifically for this task, and release them afterward as well. However, you are not required to create all samples used for your kits - ie. you can use samples you have recorded before, or you can use creative commons etc samples if you like.


Option 2
- Develop the program "shitwave" further.
- Add additional, controllable parameters for the end-user - what you add exactly is up to you.
- Write a track that utilises shitwave in some way, or record a set of examples that best demonstrates the new features of shitwave. Either way, the minimum amount of audio at the end is 2 minutes and 37 seconds.


Yours in friendchip,
little-scale
