the boy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nice photo although I'm not feeling anything at the moment. I'm sure it will ignite my inspiration sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Might have a go myself this month... got a new multiFX coming and this seems like a good excuse to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 This one is tricky , I am getting a street vibe with this , all this popping and banging , hipping and hopping , but alas this genre is alien to me , just like all the other genres.

Dad3353 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It's a procession that went a bit pear-shaped. Proof..? I have the sound track of the event. Here it is...

I thought it was a terrorist attack at a fireworks factory! [/quote] Believe it or not, it is indeed a celebration! I didn’t want anyone getting sidetracked by the details, but given that Len has already mentioned a Latin route it won’t hurt to spill the beans that it’s a photo from… [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Pyrotechnic_Festival"]The National Pyrotechnic Festival in Tultepec, Mexico[/url] I’m not getting all taco and quesadillas about it myself, but knock yourselves out! In fact I don’t yet know how I’m going to approach it. Other than hastily amongst work deadlines and last-minute Christmas faffing. Bah-humbug.

the boy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Ok I'm in this month. Had a little spare time today so this is what I came up with. https://m.soundcloud.com/theboysings/night-that-never-ends Not very well produced etc but it's the thought that counts. Produced using garageband on iPhone 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 this certainly seems to have produced some ideas , I am not far off mine now , though I am going to try and get some guest vocals on it , there is a very simple tune that has a traditional origin , so should be good for anyone , because they will all know it , I will just be trying to drag some friends, neighbours and family in , so it will probably be me on my own again I have learned a trick or two from the entries last month , and there is one thing that I need more of in mine ........................quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I have had the pleasure of a visitor this evening , so I got the mic out and got some sweet sounding additions to my entry that will just about be the icing on the cake , many thanks MIke , So i think mine is about done now, so ............RUN AWAY ........................... https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/run-away I hope you like it , I really enjoyed this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
