Yahoo Tuning Groups Ultimate Backup tuning Results for the $35 SoOn composition contest

HERE WE GO!!!

The votes have been counted and double checked. And so we come to the final results. I propose before the money is paid out to wait one week, in that week people can put in their protest if I still missed a few errors in double checking the votes. Of course, the votes as they stand in my database file cannot be changed anymore, I only take on protest if I made a miscalculation or missed a vote for somebody in my file.

With that said the standing is as follows:

THE WINNER OF THE SOON $35 COMPO IS:

With 33 points, the $20 is for:

#19 Behind the sun, by Solo

With 31 points the $10 is for:

#17 Saba Storm, by Ozman Yarman

With 24 points the $5 is for:

#14 Nahkranoth-INT-1d10, by Nahkranoth

With that the money has been decided, but of course, we may never forget the other contestants

4th place: 14 points
#05 Erm Bubbles, by Screaming Egg Notion

5th place: 12 points
#09 Inside Xerxes, by Ceekayed

6th place: 10 points
#03 The Crazy Jazzbox of Funk, by Jikoo

7th place: 8 points (won tie-break by being first one to get 5 points)
#15 Loops of Lawn, by Daniel Jackson

8th place: 8 points
#02 Somewhere in 3009, by Louigi Verona

9th place: 6 points (won tie-break by getting 5 points most)
#04 Used all of the $35, by Eat Me

10th place: 6 points
#18 Step on it, by Din

11th place: 5 points
#08 Yume, by Phaze Zero

12th place: 4 points
#10 Freaks we are, by DJ Alces

13th place: 3 points
#11 A la source by Paul Legovitch

14th place: 2 points
#12 Dark Magic Mind, by Black Tiger

15th place: 1 point
#16 Hexentanz by IV65536

And then there are 4 entries who didn't get any points at all.
I still want them to have a warm applause, as even though they didn't get any votes, they took the trouble to participate with good entries, so they too deserve the honor.

#01 7-klapper, by: Jonas the Plugexpert
#07 I'll be there soon, by Likuid (TiS)
#06 Breaking the Broken, by Zan (TiS)
#13 Hot Sim Module by DJ Kujata (TiS)

I'll soon post a screenshot of my database, so you can see if I counted all votes correctly

Thanks to everyone who entered this compo, and to all who voted.
Too bad 4 votes have been rejected due to an invalid format and 14 because of fraud. That's too bad, but still we got a clear ranking.

If you see your own vote missing in my database, then it means the vote never reached me (or that is was removed/rejected in the reason stated above), and can not be counted. As said the votes as I have them are final, I only accept protest for counting/calculation errors.

Thank you

Jeroen Broks a.k.a. Tricky

Maybe I just missed a message in the thread but, at least for me...
(Second in combo) "#17 Saba Storm, by Ozman Yarman"

Woohoo! Seriously, my ears told me that song was both beautiful micro-tonal and a form of it that is consonant and "easy to decode" enough for the general public despite using several tones that deviate a good deal from 12-TET (and much more so than, say, 5-limit JI). And, IMVHO, it's certainly not "commercial", but is decipherable enough to really get the average person's attention (in a good way).

Ok, so a micro-tonal piece didn't get first (boohoo??)...but this is still close enough, in my mind, to declare a victory in getting our art through to the public.
...And this is also perhaps good reason for the rest of us composers to aim for Ozan's level of connection with the audience (on at least a few of our pieces, to show we micro-tonalist can step beyond the stereotype of "complex, indecipherable music" way too often given to us).

To Chris and Jeroen aka Tricky...thank you for hosting the compo and going through pains to make sure the voting is legitimately judged (by handling fake votes and such).

Dear Michael,

Thank you for the praises! But there are still votes from the Spambox
that are being counted as Chris said. So the announcement was premature. It could be that the ranking may be changed in my favour
very soon? :)

Cordially,
Dr. Ozan Yarman

P.S. Tricky misspelled my name.

*Official Results are IN!

*First place is Saba Storm by Ozan Yarman

Second place is Freaks we are by dj Alces

Third place is Behind The Sun by solo

All data including the actual email votes for the contest can be found here:

http://2009contest.soonlabel.com/contest/

There were a large number of irregular and duplicate votes - all involving
Saba Storm.
However removal of these votes did not change the 1st place position.

The next time I do a contest... IF I do one again, a solution for this will
be found.
In the end all votes that followed the requested format needed to be
honored.

I will contact the winners for distribution of the prize money.

Chris
