What..? The use of technology is cheating, I thought..! All those hours, spent scratching away over a parchment with my goose's quill were for nothing..? Fowl, I cry, fowl..! Whatever next..? We'll learn that some of the instruments heard were not really played, live, by the composer..? Shock, horror..! :o
([i]Please excuse the tinge of jealously emanating from this open, honest, critique of your work... This is entirely your own fault for producing such immaculate production from a 'phone. Maybe it's time I updated mine..?[/i] :mellow: )

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1373289617' post='2135691']This was made completely on my phone so any criticism of the mix/sound, constructive or otherwise will fall on deaf ears(hee hee). Also this is my first entry so go easy on me......

I haven't listen to this yet but well done for putting something together on your phone! I've been toying with the idea of doing the same one month... got plenty of music apps that I bought on impulse yet rarely use.

Looking forward to hearing it (and everyone else's).

New York. It's big, brash and loud. It's edgy. It's tribal. It's relentless. You can end up somewhere unexpected... and like it.
I hope I've captured at least some of these aspects in this short piece.

Here is my effort, thought I would go all fuzzy guitars and punky/rocky feel. Borrowed my mates Fender Strat which is great to play especially when you are a three chord wonder, its a lot easier to fret than a cheap guitar. Recorded Sonar drums and then , played guitars, bass and vocal live. May change bass level depending on feedback, so please let me know if its right or wrong in the mix. :) Its kind of Greenday crossed with J.C.C. Thought I would link it to the picture of NY city with the lyrics about street people. [url="https://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/city-streets"]https://soundcloud.com/9thaspect/city-streets[/url]

I am getting increasingly frustrated at the gap between the ideas in my head, the technology available (to me) and the time it takes to make it all happen. I came up with this tonight after sitting in front of the computer for ages but, to my ears, although it started from there, the final piece has nothing whatsoever to do with the image. Can't even justify it with b******t double talk!

Wow..... Wish I could write stuff like that. That's music for clever people. I like it sooooo......maybe I'm not as dumb as everyone says.

I do struggle to modulate in my compositions :)

If I had any idea what that was I would probably struggle as well :)

Isn't that what mods are supposed to do..? :unsure:
