Zenitram Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I looked at the pic and immediately saw myself floating upwards into the sky above, escaping the noise. Sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I see lots of taxis, lots of colour & lots of movement. I've got my basic idea in my head already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've already got an improvised bass line down, as well as a drummer falling down the stairs. Now I'm off to record some chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I saw the picture and thought straight away it would be right up your street, I have a couple of ideas , but the genre to do it in escapes me , However , as per usual I may start off with an intent to do a rock number and it wanders of into a gregorian chant instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't recognise the strings on the bass; are they chrome flats or counter-wound half-baked knicker-chrome ball ends..? I'm sure I've heard 'em before somewhere, but just can't think where. Hmm...

Dad3353 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Here we go; it's not going to get any better by twiddling around any further, so here it is... [url="http://soundcloud.com/dad3353/herd-through-open-taxi-windows"]Herd Through Open Taxi Windows ...[/url] I caught brief snippets from the taxi cabs rushing by, snatches of conversation and car radios. I believe there was a pickup truck, too, laden with chickens, with 'Lenny's Delivery Service' inscribed on the door panels. Sadly, much was affected by the Doppler effect. The picture, with its multiple focal points and no one central detail to fix one's attention, inspired me to create a 'collage' of samples, all from licence-free sources, with Reaper as a DAW, and a software wah-wah. No chickens were harmed in the production of this piece. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
