Dad3353 Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Don't rush me, folks, it ain't kind. The rendering and post-mastering is what takes the time. Maybe this evening; probably early hours, though. Yes, it's coming on nicely. How are your's progressing..? One eternal problem is keeping 'em below 5'. Too much to put in; what to leave out..? Doh, my head..! Edited October 3, 2014 by Dad3353 Quote
Dad3353 Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Here you go, then; sorry about the delay (I had to peel the onions for our dinner...)

Bilbo Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I got something working this evening but I think it needs something else to take it up a notch and make it more than a sketch. We shall have to see where it goes. Quote

[/quote] Maybe... ... or maybe I've got not much to add to the debate about 'The Troubles' and/or beheadings, and no basses and/or amps to buy and/or sell. Parking is not a daily worry to me, either. [size=4] [/size] Although it's true I should get out more. Would that I could. [size=4] [/size] [size=4] [/size][size=4]It's also a darned good picture..! [/size] Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I got inspired (arguably!) and with some crazy 'boning by a local jazzist, produced this: [url="https://soundcloud.com/dredd-and-the-badass-weed/the-difference-engine"]https://soundcloud.com/dredd-and-the-badass-weed/the-difference-engine[/url] For a change I used both Wal and Sandberg basses with plenty of effects to disguise them!

Dad3353 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1412581853' post='2570005'] Cheers! But what's IBTL? [/quote] It's an acronym for 'In Before The Lock', meaning that the post has been posted (just...) before the mods close down ('lock'...) a topic, usually for inappropriate language or subject. Apparently our friend Lowdown has identified some sort of innuendo in your phrasing. Can't imagine what, being too young, innocent and naive, of course. Maybe it was meant in jest..?

lowdown Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I suppose I have spent far to many years in pits with classical horn players and their smutty humour. Jest. Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I wouldn't dream of slipping in any innuendo. Being brought up as a Catholic meant that large parts of my youth were spent at Catechismm under a priest. We were taught to be upstanding and not smutty! Quote

Leonard Smalls Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I remember Jonah handing in dirty mags instead of homework to her... Duco, ducis, ducit stayed in my memory as well! Quote
lurksalot Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Bizarrely, in the depths of my memory I seem to recall a story along those lines , as for latin I have no recall whatsover Quote
Lord Sausage Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 How do! Not been about for a while, been busy arranging a wedding then getting married. Here's my entry for this months challenge that I've knocked up. It is a soundscape inspired by ideas and thoughts about Industrial ideas, sci fi, AI, could robots have thoughts souls etc. Anyway here it is https://soundcloud.com/dreaded-ted/artificial-soul Quote
