xgsjx Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Just asked my Mrs what style of music does she get from that pic, & her response... "Eye of the tiger" Well, that's me stuck.

Vintage JCB in a folk stylee, I can go with that. You remember the Old Spice adverts or are you thinking of that woman that's married to David Beckam? If it's the former, you must be almost as old as me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layers; I need layers. [/quote] Glad someones got going... Although a superb photo I appear to have nowt !! Mrs J did come up with an idea........."Tarquin the tiger leaves his worries behind and has a beach holiday"... but after I pointed out that it was rather similar to "Derek the deaf donkey" , we abandoned the idea............or could it all be the start of a concept album where all the animals end up at the beach somehow ? Mr Kipling did something similar with the "Just so " stories...but he had his wonderful cake making business to fall back on.........

Bilbo Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I have finished mine. Will upload tomorrow. It's fearfully symmetric. Oops; no I won't. I uploaded an audio mixdown last night and, when uploading it to Soundcloud this morning, have noticed that it has got a couple of serious glitches in it relating to effects. Also, the opening notes have been clipped off so it doesn't make sense until the second time around. Will have to revisit the mixdown. Bear with, bear with.

Bilbo Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Here we are! A strange mix of Asian pentatonics, string quartet and a reel played with a plectrum on a seven string bass. Kudos to Dad for letting me have his title!! https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/thy-fearful-symmetry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Both those songs sound fantastic. I started writing something using orchestral instruments, but I've gone a completely different direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
