The owners of Basschat accept no responsibility for infringements of copyright or other forms of legal ownership, which are solely the responsibility of competition entrants. If we spot any breaches of copyright then your track will be removed from the competition. For reference: here's a great source of copyright-free material, all available under Creative Commons license: [url="http://www.freesound.org/"]http://www.freesound.org/[/url] [b]3) Entries should be no more than five minutes long and written/produced during the month of the competition[/b], taking inspiration from the photo provided.

A big thanks to Charic who first started the tradition back in 2012... and an equally big thanks to everyone who's taken part and voted since then!

I misheard and thought they said "trains" instead of brains, so asked for a slow and leisurely one [quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1409575809' post='2541019']may have a crack when i get my honeymoon out of the way[/quote] Get your priorities straight Rob, the honeymoon can wait! Seriously though mate, congratulations and have a great time. ----- PS: a hasty submission last month and now a hasty choice of photo for this one... I need to get back to my usual, punctual self. Hope the choice of image is ok for y'all. I liked the simplicity of it and thought that the birds on the wire looked a little bit like notes on a stave (maybe Bilbo or Gary can transcribe it for us??). I also liked the lone bird beneath - clearly a rebel or an outcast, one of the two. Anyway, hope it inspires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When transcribed, it's not very musical, I'm afraid. Shame; would have made things easier..! Oh, well... Now then, how did that situation arrive..? There must have been only one, at first, and then... Hmm... What happens next, eh..? Do they all leave as they arrived..? FIFO..? FILO..? ...or maybe, if there's a big bang... Hmm... Where's my headset..? Edited September 1, 2014 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I think I'm definitely going for last place this month... My thoughts appear to be heading more and more Brotzmann/Bailey-ward!

My thoughts appear to be heading more and more Brotzmann/Bailey-ward!... [/quote] What do the doctors say..? Is there really no hope..? How about religion (although exchanging one form of madness for another is not really a cure, is it..!)..? As shock therapy, an exposure to Japanese classical music can be beneficial, or '80s Disco. It may work, but could result in a permanent longing for folk music. Yes, the risk is great, but then again, so are the rewards. Fight it; fight hard. You can win this battle. Please..? For our sakes..? [size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The pull of free improv is strong this month... Not sure if I can fight it, but I would never sink so low as to long for folkiness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
