Skol303 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Posted November 1, 2013 Sweepstake on the time it will take Bilbo to submit an entry this month... I'm wagering it'll be there by close of play tomorrow (Saturday) Quote

I'm wagering it'll be there by close of play tomorrow (Saturday) [/quote] I'll have to get my skates on, then..! For the moment, half of my music softs are stuck on unplayable hard drives (naff interface psu...). I'll get re-installing this evening... Very nice photo, by the way. Lots of different interpretations; I'll expect many differing themes this month... Quote

paul h Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Definitely having a go at this I was secretly hoping to be able to go all RAWKKK!!! but if I stare at the photo long enough I am sure I will come up with something a bit more suitable Quote
discreet Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Great pic - think I might have a go this month. Now where did I put my Theremin..? Quote

72deluxe Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Where is this wedding dress shop? It could do with more work if that is the window display! Not a bridesmaid dress anywhere. Quote
discreet Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Can't find my Theremin - it'll have to be the headless bass for this one. Quote
Zenitram Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 The photo was taken in St John the Evangelist's Church, Leeds, in 2009. By me. Followed by absolutely loads of phuckery-phoo in Photoshop. Quote

bobbass4k Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Might actually have time this month, already got an idea floating around. Expect 9/8 (the spookiest time sig) and heavy use of my new favourite toy, the Mid-fi Pitch Pirate. Quote
Dad3353 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Good evening, all... Here we go, then, just to get the ball rolling... [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/twil-not-be-long-love"]'Twill not be long (love...)[/url] ...I have managed to put together enough software to be able to produce this, although most of my main 'tools' are stuck on various hard drives that I cannot access. Despite this, the basic idea came almost instantly. It's the execution that complicates things..! This is my personal interpretation of the photo; your view of things may well be different. Enjoy... [i]Edit: Updated with final version, added bass and some chords corrected. Serves me right for going too fast, I suppose[/i]... Edited November 3, 2013 by Dad3353 Quote

bobbass4k Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Good stuff dad, an interesting take. Mine was a nice gloomy ambient thing until I decided to stick a big dirty synthy bass line down the middle, so I'm not sure what it will end up sounding like but it should be weird. Quote

paul h Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Music is hard I think my entry might top out at 30 seconds long at this rate Quote
paul h Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 My entry. Apologies for length and shoddiness. [url="https://soundcloud.com/robotrobotrobotmusic/some-kind-of-ghost-wedding-i"]https://soundcloud.com/robotrobotrobotmusic/some-kind-of-ghost-wedding-i[/url] Quote
