well who'd a thunk it first in with a silly soundscape Ibby 6 string through a couple of waves gtr3 patches , loads of synth type sounds from the digital pianola and a couple of samples from Freesound modified a bit.

I’ve got a Rode NT1-A I don’t use it a lot as it’s normally in a drawer , but an SM58 is always on its stand for when inspiration strikes , and with my voice any subtleties in recording quality are kind of irrelevant 😂

And also with you

A close run campaign for the April certificate was only split by a single vote, enabling @AndyTravis to receive another presentation by @Dad3353 for the prize. So early off the mark this morning Andy thus sent me the following image ... "There we go - spaced out, ejected etc " Simple rules ✔️ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline. ✖️ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ✖️ No Bagpipes/panpipes, everyone had the chance last month's previous month, so there! ✖️ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you.. Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 25th (I'll get up sharpish on the 26th if I can ! ) A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super smashing. Good luck, Have fun

Well Done Andy great stuff 👍 I’ll start the May challenge when you’ve chosen the picture

Noir - Lurksalot ( on SoundCloud you could also vote for another one of my songs on this months challenge 😂

I think we need a couple of voters to pop in with single votes to split the difference today ….ooh er Missus 😁

here we go

After a three way joint win in March and a further tie break question, here we are with the inspirational photo for the April challenge from @upside downer He reflects .... "Took this last year when we went to Frameless, an immersive art experience, where paintings by the old masters gradually come together, enveloping you before falling away, only for another to take its place." So on with the show and I would suggest 2 votes this month 1 @AndyTravis There’s a hole in the sky… 2 @Jean-Luc Pickguard When we look at a painting we see a frozen moment where time does not pass. This song reflects on the relentless march of time and how certain things, like aging, are inevitable. No matter how much we may want to slow or freeze time, it pushes forwards, pulling us along with it Time, It Is What It Is audio link.mp3 3 Lurksalot It is of course ...the big picture 4 @Leonard Smalls A new Future Impact patch wot I made inspired this Mutant Disco Ditty... 5 @upside downer Saunter through Cézanne's Avenue at Chantilly to a twinkling soundtrack of swirly, insistent guitar chords, subtle keys and unobtrusive beats. okey dokey there are 5 to choose from so go for your fave 2 voting will end at midnight on Tuesday 30th April Good Luck all

Sorry guys , I got my dates mixed up , I’ll get on it when I get home , it’s been a mad month

My experience was quite similar @Leonard Smalls would you believe 😁 except we started with Mr Fogel the chalk chucker and then Crystal tips. but yes Kevin Q did like the music for his spiritual celebrations . a bit odd that music was so low in the proceedings considering the headmaster’s son was one David Balfe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Balfe but then , he didn’t go to our school 😂😂

I've got one just about done , I would like to do some more with it , but I suspect my diary over the next week or two might get in the way , but still.. Ibby six string with a waves gtr3 stomp patch, EZ drums ,me on the mic with squaks and harp , and a nothing of bass which I hope to sort! Its a bit short, but hey, play it twice .

I suppose it’s not that odd for an Indian though , if I have a dish I will normally have a bread with it, why not slap it on top of the bread (obviously not a chicken curry though 😂 )

Ah well , it was great , plenty of good bands , a couple of duffs , but 3 brilliant shows on the day and a bit I was there 👍

we have got started , but I will edit in due course
