"Resolution '95" Mini-party
Music Competitions Release Pack
Released 1/11/96 (12 days after the competitions)

These are the top three songs from each of the two music competitions held
at Resolution '95 (A mini-party held by 3Some in Baltimore, on Dec. 29-31).

The rules for each of the competitions were as follows:
1.  Only the pre-chosen samples (determined by a non-competing individual
    prior to the compo) could be used in a contestant's song.  Not all the
    samples needed to be used, but no more could be added.  The given samples
    could be finetuned/looped/clipped at will.
2.  There were no maximum channel, pattern, or order limitations.
3.  Help could not be received from anyone else during the competition.
4.  The entries must be completed from start to finish within the given time
    period for the competition.
5.  All votes would be done numerically among the contestants.  Contestants
    ranked all the entries from 1-10 (1 min, 10 max), except for their own.
    Winners were determined by point total.

Compo #1 lasted 1 hour 45 minutes, and Compo #2 lasted 2 hours.  Everyone
who competed was present at Resolution, except for Floss/Kosmic who competed
in Compo #2 from afar (the time was still regulated).

Compo #1 results:
Contestants: 5
        1st place: Darkwolf, "12 ounces"                DW-12OZ.S3M
        2nd place: Blanka, "Subpopulace"                LBB-SUBP.S3M
        3rd place: Kiwidog, "Time's Ticking"            KD-TIMET.S3M
        4th place: Lethal, Unnamed                      Not included
        5th place: Thoughtcrime, "IHOP"                 Not included
        
Compo #2 results:
Contestants: 6
        1st place: Blanka, "Master of Madness"          LBB-MMAD.S3M
        2nd place: Sirrus, "My Butt Itches"             SR-MBI.S3M
        3rd place: Floss, "Cross Country"               FL-CROSS.S3M
        4th place: Darkwolf, "Look at dem Bayglez"      Not included
        5th place: Kiwidog, "Rapid Succession"          Not included
        6th place: Tronster, "Sneaking In"              Not included

(Note to Resolution attendees: The compo #2 results are different than
 calculated at the party, as we had at first forgotten to add in Floss's
 votes.  After those votes, a couple entries switched rank).

The filenames may not be exactly as the authors may have wished, but we tried
to stay as close as possible.  Since these were only 2 hour songs, I doubt
it's very consequential.  At a minimum, the titles are correct.

Credits for this pack go entirely on the authors of the songs; they are only
released as one pack by the fact that they were all made at Resolution.  Any
contact regarding any of the songs should go to the respective author,
however they see fit.

Enjoy,
