the boy Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1435853710' post='2813097'] To paraphrase Sally Webster in Coronation Street (she was talking to Kevin): I don't know what I've been doing all day but I've come home stupid... Somehow I've managed to do crooning vocals on top of a big beat backing complete with an Indian chant. This one's definitely going to need rolling in glitter, plus 3 coats of varnish and a hand-carved presentation box! [/quote] Lol.... Whatever works. Your entry is getting one of my votes for that post alone. Fookin pi$$ed myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I personally think is a pitty for it does take some time for this undoubtedly multi-talented sport-lady to float all the way up (of which I'm pretty convinced she's going) and for me to describe what she's going through along the way.

This comes in exactly the right summery vein, giving a Latino-Hispano-Brazilian touch. Complaints..? Not as such, but a bit of paring down wouldn't harm the intrinsic quality of the piece. Be warned: if length becomes no object, I'm quite capable of (and rather keen to..!) putting out 20 minutes or more, given suitable inspiration..! I already struggle to contain my stuff into 5 minutes as it is, but then again, concision was never my strongest suite. Suite yourself (and welcome to the Challenge... ).

lurksalot Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 OK I'm in , I have to say a great picture , I had all sorts of lyrical ideas to go with it ,but lyrics take ages for me to record , so I plumped for a simple synth number to run with, the playing isn't up to much as it was a touch improvised . anyway I hope you enjoy https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/the-long-way-down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backstroke over Bracknell..? Almost... Rolling and tumbling..? Been done, I believe... Never mind, I'll come up with summit whilst picking raspberries, I'm sure. Watch this space...

Skol303 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 ^ [font=Helvetica]Yeah… it is constraining having a time limit on entries, but I think it’s a necessary evil.[/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3] [size=4]On another forum, I used to know a chap who’s approach to composition involved switching on his keyboard, selecting a Bontempi-esque drum pattern and then noodling away aimlessly for anything up to an hour.
