Well done on such speedy work [/quote] Its my first submission (in fact I didn't even know about the competition until yesterday) so I have no idea about time scales. I stuck it up quick in case we needed to get them in asap for voting etc.. Of course, listening to it today I can hear new parts (a piano tinkle here and there) I could add.

[/quote] It's not a race, of course. If the ideas come, and one has the time to realise them, things can sometimes get done very quickly, but often 3 weeks or a month goes by with either no inspiration, or no time free for playing. The earliest are not always the best of the bunch, as I well know..! On the other hand, I find (for myself, at least...) that there's no point in faffing around; once it's ready, it's ready. Any attempts at retouching are, at best, diminishing returns, and... how goes the proverb..? Ah yes: "[i]The pitcher goes so often to the well that it is broken at last[/i]"..!

the boy Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Loving the entries so far. One in particular is distinctly catchy. I've got a strong tune in my head and a melodic verse. The problem is putting it all together so it sounds ok. I'm definitely in this month though. Edited February 7, 2014 by the boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Entry taking shape. Experimenting with actually recording guitars this time instead of relying on VST's. Currently recording the 12th track titled "Wall of sound". Still doesn't sound big enough. Edited February 10, 2014 by bobbass4k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can come close if you dress up as a m***er. Borrow your wife's bra and stuff it with two footballs, wear a Viking helmet and scream while you stand to the left hand side of your living room.
