It’s probably not helped by the fact I think we all called it different names at various parts of the contest.

It’s been BJFestivalen, Buzzfestivalen and Buzzjackfestivalen depending on the day 😂

wasn't there any attempt of sending that Brutalismus 3000 x Boys Noize song not long ago??

Yes, we threw it out then as well

24 minutes long? Is this a competition for longest running track lol

No. It's one of the greatest pieces of electronic music ever written.

If a long song doesn't hold my attention in the first minute or so then I skip it, I guess that's the risk the sender takes knowing a lot of people won't be willing to give it the full duration. Knowing there's a long song coming up does make me dread it a little rbh. That being said, I do think some people send long songs so they're intentionally taking up a chunk of the run time or just to be different. It sometimes feels like a contest on who can send the longest song. Each to their own etc but I wouldn't be opposed to capping songs at 5/6 minutes as then I could fairly listen to everything and overall run time of the semis/final would be reasonable.

This is news to me that 'a lot of people won't be willing to giving it the full duration'.

Disappointing.

Deadline for song length discourse is in 5 hours which is also the confirmations deadline, many thanks xx

The way some of y'all are actually expecting me to listen to 10+ minutes of a wall of noise is actually crazy to me. If there is nothing interesting in the 4 or 5 parts I listen to, why would you expect me to go through it all. I don't even listen to 3 minutes if I already know it is not my thing. I got shit to do, sisters 💀 y'know, like touch some grass or something

i wouldn't even expect that for my basic 3 minute sangs if it's not your thing.

(I dont usually immediately delete them from my playlist as I listen while I workout so usually zone out but if I skip, you're out)

The Brutalismus 3000 song was me oops. 🤭 Gutted but understandable veto lol.

Lock in people, this is no place for pleasure or music discovery, TIME IS MONEY and you are all wasting mine with your egregious show-off walls of noise!

How many times has +10 mins wall of noise been entered?

At least twice (I can't remember) since I returned at the start of this year, there have been what I would consider to be 10(ish) min plus walls or noise. Only I sat through the whole thing on all occasions! Some things just aren't my thing. If I come across one of these hour long songs and it doesn't grab me within 5 mins, I might have to flex my listening habits as 60 minutes feels like a long time in which I could be listening to something I actually like 🤣

I said what I said. Enjoy your long songs while I enjoy (mostly) the shorter ones. That's the beauty of it all

Plenty

I’m sure this applies more to the proverbial repetitive unchanging dance beats than a song that changes, though either way there’s not all that many songs where if someone didn’t like its first part that they’d be convinced by the parts that start 7+ minutes in

Ngl learning that everybody listens to everything is eyeopening for me 👀

I guess I stick it out through the 7mins in case that's just the build up.

Edited August 5Aug 5 by Colm

I just skip ahead on long ones to see if they get better they often don't

Depend what sort of 'wall of noise' it is, it was a term used in the 60s to describe some Phil Spector songs.

Also in the early 70s Wizzard had a wall of noise technique with loads of instruments all playing, including in their Christmas song.

and then in the 00s and 10s there was trance/EDM wall of noise too.

And then there's just noise music which I am guessing is the one Colm chose.

So we didn't know that each other existed.
