Bilbo Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Here's my April contribution. It is called Improvisation on a Funk Motif and is a solo double bass piece. I cannot play 'Funk' a la James Brown/Marcus Miller/Bootsy etc so went with what I know. https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/improvisation-on-a-funk-motif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [quote]...My frustration with these competitions is that they end up being about what instruments you can play and what software that you have as much as they are about composition. I can play that bass and only the bass (and a bit of bad guitar) so here is what I came up with in the time allowed with the kit available...[/quote] What..? Go back and listen to your own 'Syrian Sofa', for example, and try to imagine our (or, at least, my...) frustration at hearing such delightful composition. Here we are, struggling along with our multi-instruments and virtual recording studios (if only you could see some of them; very modest affairs...), and you come along and blast us all out of the water with compositions fit for a king..! We're treading water, while you sail past like a musical Phelps..! No false modesty, Bilbo; as far as composition goes, you're up there with the heavyweights..! In any case, how else would you suggest that the notion of 'composition' be expressed..? I'm not sure that a pdf of sheet music would be immensely popular..! No, young sir, I feel for you, but the frustration is not yours alone. Keep 'em coming, old son; they're GREAAAT..!

[/quote] I agree. and i prefer just to use the bass. although this months track does have a sax sample ( obviously ) and a clav vsti. I enjoy the challenge of composing/recording on the bass. Might Not sound fantastic, or full range, but it has taught me a lot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ok here is my Non Entry. I repeat Non entry. Reasons 1) its unfinished as it needs hip hop vocals which i don't have time to source and record. I think as an instrumental it would be boring. So this is kind of a backing track 2) I wouldn't really regard it as a proper composition as it's mainly samples.I only play gtr and bit of bass. It was just something to dip my toe back in the water of this as i ain't done one for over a year. I've just put it up to show a bit of involvement. https://soundcloud.com/dreaded-ted/04a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly a bass player but play geet......... and dabble badly on other instruments. Also i meant i thought it would be boring as an instrumental that's why I've added no melodies or anything.

the boy Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) I've got an idea. It came to me today. Inspiration comes from the funniest places. I've got it worked out, all that's left to do is record and mix it. I think I will do a recording on my phone this month. I won't have time to sit down at the computer and do it properly so it will have to be my phone on the go. Great entries so far. There is a clear leader at the moment for me but I'm sure a few more will come along before the deadline.
