He was trying to say the opposite is in fact the case...

[i]es todo lo contrario[/i] is more what you were after.

Google translation leaves a lot unsaid.

You'll always get a cool sound out of a fridgian scale.

Not gonna enter again this month. No disrespect i just can't get into these 'Still' pictures that are being used. Just doesn't do anything for me. But best of luck to everyone. I will listen and vote at the end!

why don't you try, you might be surprised. just try and be imaginative.
failing that, just record anything and call it "the tree"

how about, using the picture as a screen saver for a couple of weeks,
and see if an idea emerges.

Also , try and pick one part of the picture , and think about that , as opposed to looking at the whole thing...?
a bit like porn.! lol

That's interesting... we generally get feedback that people prefer landscape photos because they allow for lots of different interpretations, rather than being too 'literal'. But it's something to bear in mind in future :)

I get where you are coming from.
There is a comp going on until sometime in April you might like.
It is based around layering (used in games music).
Although aimed at their games and film scoring courses, it is free and with some prizes.

You have to sign up, no obligation to get the comp link.

I don't necessarily mean here's a scene do the music. But maybe something abstract, lots of different shapes, trippy etc.

The intro is cool, it's a little bit like ennio morricone. I've listened a few times and I think you've hit the nail on the head. The only problem I've got with it is, it's very similar to what I had planned. Mmmmmm back to the drawing board.

Hmm. My vanity persuades me that that's a compliment; so thanks for that. :) ([i]My modesty suggests otherwise, of course[/i]. :unsure: )

...which is why I desist from listening before committing my entry..! This, however, prevents me from listening to good advice, too, sometimes. Oh well; can't win 'em all. :rolleyes:
Go on, get stuck in. To judge from the photo, the field is wide open..! :lol:

([i]Sorry; I'll get my bolero[/i]... :blush: )

Thanks :) I really do need to get an electro acoustic at some point (and learn play). The track could get a couple of ways at the moment but this picture has definitely got the juices flowing :)
