AL-the-Bassman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1391037550' post='2352668'] For anyone interested I've just posted an archive of the past 2 years' Composition Challenges in the 'Share Your Music' forum.

Skol303 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1391023326' post='2352424']SO difficult this month. I love them all! [/quote] Thanks for the support 'Shell! And if you ever fancy having a go yourself one month...? So far Debs has been our only female composer, so it's about time our BC Sisters started doing it for themselves, etc [quote name='AL-the-Bassman' timestamp='1391043766' post='2352746']you should produce an album of all the winners, and runners up. in time for christmas 2014 ,[/quote] Good idea, Al. The was Charic's original intention when he set up the competition... I might pick up the idea again and look to put out a BC album on Bandcamp (or similar) once a year, with the proceeds going to help support the site together with a % donated to charity.

RockfordStone Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 some really interesting entries this time around. came down to two for me which i thought stood out and it was a hard choice to break it down between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Houghton Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hint taken, will try to have a go next month, just been busy trying to get my head around my setup and also need to pay for my new audio interface before I an collect it from the shop, could be a while yet. Got a crappy one I can do something with until then, count me in for next month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 What with work and gigs I didn't have time to finish my entry, I may post it for comments after the voting has closed though. My vote this month goes to Skol for the catchy (and vary well produced) tune, although Lurksalot nearly got it for the "stolen my cigar" line. Brilliant.

KingBollock Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I voted for the first time. For some reason I have always felt that because I don't actually join in I have no right to vote. Not because of anything said about it, just my head taking its self to the stupid step. I do wish I could join in. I do keep fiddling about with recording stuff, finally got my head around doing the drums, but every time I try my mind just goes completely blank. I'm getting there, very, very, veeerrrryyyy slowly. Oddly, if there were prizes involved I definitely wouldn't enter. But, again. that's just me. I am quite happy to build someone a website, or give someone's kid a bass or guitar lesson, but as soon as I am offered money for it I go cold and can't do it. Oh, and I think a time limit on the songs would help. I think two and a half minutes would be ideal.

Dad3353 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 So..! The lad has done it again..! Well done, and of course, congratulations to all the others. Another fine bunch, eh..? Who got my vote..? Well, seeing how the pair of pictures were being treated, I chose (with difficulty, I'll admit...) that which, to my mind, best addressed both. If the musical side had a distinctly 'western' bent, the neat way in which the Escher graphic was referenced gave my biscuit to old Lurksalot (...and little, no..?). Not, perhaps, the most polished technically, but fitted the spirit of the challenge best. Having said all that, I could just have easily found justification in all the entries..! Roll on February..?

lurksalot Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Brilliant Paul , you are an inspiration in these challenges , well done again. Thanks Douglas , I really love your appreciation ( and the other voters of course) but yes technically, I am a bit behind the rest of you so a bit of left field thinking can help bridge the musicality gap , plenty of room for that way of thinking I know we see some comments about the voting numbers , but 75 is a SUPERB turnout , it really is appreciatted , many thanks for taking the time and making the effort .
