Audio Tennis

[Lee]

Anyone remember this from 2003?

No.

Oh. Well, it was just like Wimblemong, but with sound. Instead of a 600x400 picture, you create 30 second bits of audio. The first one came up with some great bits from Boki, Twisted Disco, Chadwick (whatever happened to him?), "Sir Kobble" and at least 4 more.

Would anyone be up for doing this, following Wimblemong of course?

[no_offenc]

Quite possibly yes.

[Cack Hen]

Yeah, I'd love to.

[boki]

Part of me is up for the challenge and the rest remembers how useless I was last time (and I was).  I'll be the reserve in case there's an odd number sign up.

[butnut]

Heh I might be interested in this - and will be shown up by all you whizz kids no doubt!

[jutl]

That sounds fun.

[Santa's Boyfriend]

Won't take part as I'm not very good at doing this stuff, but I think it's a great idea.

[Murdo]

After the complete humiliation of Wimblemong,


yes please.

[ClaudiusMaximus]

I remember, in fact I listened back to the tournament not two weeks ago.  If anyone's interested I can upload it somewhere.

I want to play this time, too.

[Robot DeNiro]

Yes, I'd like to hear the previous tournament if possible.

Does it work exactly like Wimblemong then, i.e. three 'shots' each, each shot being inspired by or sampling the previous one?

Count me in anyway.

Audio Tennis 2003, Wimblemong 2004 and Wimblemong 2005 are archived here in .tgz archives of around 20MB per contest:

I'll do it

I'm lacking audio inspiration and need a sound kick

[Robot DeNiro]

Thanks for that ClaudiusMaximus, I enjoyed listening to those.  Who won the final?

[Marvin]

I'll be up for this once I'm back on my own PC.

[hands cold, liver warm]

It should be two shots per player, otherwise it'll take forever.

[Marvin]

Yeah that sounds a good plan.

[mrpants]

Is it the same as Wimblemong but with songs? Or can you just do audio collage type things?

[slim]

I want to be muscially adept enough to participate, but I'm not, so I'll just enjoy following the matches. Great thread idea/revival.


Edit: My post count is beautifully pallindromic and sort of not at all symmetrical at the moment: 9669.

I assuming you can do whatever you like.

I've tried to listen to the old files from the last attempt twice now, but it hasn't let me download the whole thing yet. I'll try again later.

[boki]

If I remember correctly, the only rules last time were that each 'shot' had to be between 30 and 40 seconds and you had to use something from the previous shot in your return, so you usually ended up with little jingles or audio collages.  It'd be nice if there was something in there to make it flow, but that's all pretty subjective and there'd probably be arguments about whether something did or didn't!  

Veering off-topic a bit, there's been a project done a couple of times on the Planet µ board, where a bunch of people signed up and did a minute and a half each of a mix (sequentially, so that it flowed) - the mixes are available here, if anyone's interested.

yes please.

wot he said

I'll have a stab

[V]

I'm game

[hands cold, liver warm]

na

[hands cold, liver warm]

I've edited together all the audio mongs from the last audio tennis tournament. So here they all are in a 22min 30 sec collection. Its starts with the first round matches and ends with the final. I think its a rather ace listen

although I've called the fiule audio tennis 2004 when infact it was 2003

[Tom Tortoise]

I'm up for this one...

[hands cold, liver warm]

problem is that wimblemong is taking ages, if we wait till after that to start audio tennis then the idea will have fizzled out.

I'm keen on starting this quite soon

[Marvin]

yeah I don't want to draw crowds away from Wimblemong but I'm up for starting anytime from now onwards really.

[hands cold, liver warm]

thats two. We need at least 8 in total for a decent contest

anyone else want to get this going soon?

[LeboviciAB84]

Meee!

[Lee]

Aye?
