Here's mine. Read the description of it to understand it better :)

I like it Milty. No one has any lyrics in their pieces. Can there be lyrics? Are there rules? What's the deal? I have a chorus in my head for this picture.

Of course there can be lyrics! I just had no means of recording any lyrics, and I think it would really have detracted from the whole binary robotic theme if it had lyrics. Thanks for listening though :)

The rules are in the very first comment on this thread. Basically, compose a song based on what the picture makes you feel. Just be careful not to infringe on any copyrighted material :) It can be whatever you want it to be! That's the glory of it!

There can definitely be lyrics/vocals, it's just most of us can't sing so we tend to get more instrumentals, we had quite a few with vocals last month though.

Got an idea in motion, I'm getting my Aphex Twin on, dark glitchy electronic vibes going on, although I've been listening to a lot of Cardiacs today, so that might sneak in there a bit, which would be interesting.

Thanks :) Mine is nothing special. When you base it around a code, and assign a note to a zero, and a space to a 1, a consonant to an E and a vowel to an F, it's really quite simple. The other guys have had genuine musical ideas that they have created themselves. I've just followed a pattern, but I do think that's the whole point of mine. I like the other compositions too :)

Plenty of time yet it's only the 4th!

Thanks for the comments on soundcloud too, I'm new to it all and its quite nice to have little comments on the track itself.

I have found a drum pattern that I will develop , and wrote some lyrics , which I liked, but then realised that as my effort is to be in a pop stylee , I really don't need an in depth delve into the personality of a city, portraying and comparing it with the emotions and psyche of a woman serving her needs in a cold, capitalistic and somehow strangely anonymous frame of mind, I need a more Boom Boom shag you soon , kind of flow . :blink:

Hmm... Interesting. I wish [i]I'd[/i] thought more of targetting the BC audience, now. Too late, I suppose. Sigh... :mellow:

Nice effort there, I was expecting a whaling solo to come in at some point...

With your solo guitar and my solo bass we almost have a band :D
