The artist, a stage-name for Noel Stefan Stoyanoff, won with his recording of Floyd’s “Paranoid Eyes,” and receives $200 in Floyd merchandise from shop.pinkfloyd.com.
Noel describes himself as “a singer, songwriter, software and recording engineer, storyteller, producer, studio and live bassist for hire, DJ, cynic, music evangelist, music historian and collector.”
On his Facebook page, he thanked a number of people who contributed to the track and accompanying video (below): Jeffrey Shank, Robert Browning, Tim OConnell, Mike Criscione, Damon Tedesco, Ashley Jones and Richard Stamp.
Second prize, awarded by random drawing, went to Todd McKeague of Westfield, Mass.
Thanks to everyone who entered this year, and watch for our 7th annual contest coming in Spring 2017.

On this week’s “Floydian Slip” we’re talking about one of the strangest events in the history of Pink Floyd. It happened June 5, 1975, when the band was making the “Wish You Were Here” album.
Keeping with that theme, you can register to win a copy of “The Story of Wish You Were Here,” an 85-minute documentary about the making of Pink Floyd’s seminal album, on Blu-ray disc.

Deadline to enter is the anniversary of the event, Sunday, June 5.
Register to win a copy the new Mojo magazine featuring Syd Barrett. The magazine devotes 19 pages to the late Pink Floyd co-founder and the band’s early years.
Included are two high-quality Floyd poster reproductions on heavy, coated stock; and a 14-track CD of “modern psychedelia” in a sleeve that harkens back to Floyd’s “Arnold Layne” single.
