[size=5]Here's the image for your inspiration, chosen by last month's winner [b]Dad3353[/b]…[/size]



[size=5]And here are the rules 'n' stuff…[/size]

By entering the competition you agree to the Basschat [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules"]Terms & Conditions[/url] and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/3178-forum-guidelines/"]Forum Guidelines[/url], which are designed to help ensure the forum remains free of offensive and/or illegal behaviour and material. In a nutshell:

[b]1) Please avoid any content that other forum users may find offensive.[/b] If your track contains explicit lyrics, for example, then please warn other forum users so they can choose for themselves whether to listen to it.

[b]2) Please make sure you have permission to use any 3rd party sounds included in your track[/b] (ie. sounds that you have not recorded yourself, such as samples of other people's music). The owners of Basschat accept no responsibility for infringements of copyright or other forms of legal ownership, which are solely the responsibility of competition entrants. If we spot any breaches of copyright then your track will be removed from the competition.

For reference: here's a great source of copyright-free material, all available under Creative Commons license:http://www.freesound.org/

[b]3) Entries should be no more than five minutes long and written/produced during the month of the competition[/b], taking inspiration from the photo provided. No cheating!

Get busy! ;)

Is that Jefferson Airplane?

Well spotted, young lad, it is indeed, with the one and only Jack Casady well featured. I don't know exactly when or where this particular shot was taken, but it represents (to me...) the Godshill festival and a memorable double all-night concert at London's Roundhouse, also featuring the Doors. Happy daze. Inspired..?

I told you not to take the purple ones !... :gas:

great image Dad i already feel inspired !
[/quote]

... but there's no pink ones left..!

I've started to mess about with my own subject, only to find I'm guilty of plagiarising for the moment..! How to get stuff out of one's head, once it's there..? Hmm... Maybe the green ones, then..? :unsure:

... but would that not be cheating..? :o Not my style, I'm afraid, so I'm as hoist by my own petard as you lot. My ropey system isn't helping, of course, but I doubt that I can pull a white rabbit from my hat [Tommy Cooper] "just like that..! [/Tommy Cooper]
I'm constantly distracted, too, by the incessant furious din from the hubble-bubble... :rolleyes:

I'm loving the picture and I'm instantly inspired but I'm trying desperately to avoid sounding like Jefferson airplane (I wish), but you know what I mean. I wish I didn't know it was them. Thanks for the spoiler alert guys. I have a little tune bouncing around in my head. Thanks for a good choice of picture Dad.

Note: You don't have to all go down that route. Grateful Dead will do just fine, too. :mellow:

I'm looking forward to having a stab at some psychedelia this month. That said we are hoping to be moving house (fingers firmly crossed), so this could be the one time I don't get to submit a track. We shall see.

I'm too young (40 yrs!) or more likely uncultured to pretend that Jefferson Airplane had any influence on my musical upbringing. But I am a big fan of Butthole Surfers, Mercury Rev and other 80s acts of that ilk. Plus I enjoyed a misspent youth kicking open the doors of perception. So there's plenty to draw upon right there ;)

Should be a good one - and a suitable soundtrack for the summer. Nice choice, Doug!

You don't need any time, just as loose as possible will do,
to go with the noises you get.

more the fact that i am getting married in 9 weeks and just started a new job, so everything is all up in the air at the moment, finding time to breathe is a mission

Married in 9 weeks? if you don't do it before, it certainly won't be happening after! ;)

Been busy this weekend....
Mine's a bass improv done after listening to a bit of Jack Cassidy and his hippy stoners!
Drums and keys added later. Only samples arethe bare bones of the drums.

Like..! [pedant](... [i]but it's Casady[/i]...)[/pedant]. What were you smoking for that..? Coded answer by PM, of course. I was spiritually transported back to another era, so you're doing something right..! Comments left; nice one, Lenny. (... or should that be [url="http://youtu.be/r34vfH4lDAQ"]Father Bruce[/url]..?) :)
