Dad3353 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 [sharedmedia=core:attachments:174869][size=4] Good evening, all...[/size] [size=4]I have decided to promote, each in turn, the compositions presented in the monthly BC Composition Challenge. I shall give my own, personal, view of the piece, in the hope that at least some will be inspired to give the work a listen, and perhaps a vote as their favourite. All the pieces can be heard here...[/size] [size=4][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/248026-october-composition-challenge-voting/"]BC October Composition Challenge voting...[/url][/size] [size=4]... and the 'Play of the Day' here ...[/size] [size=4][url="http://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/warbot"]'Warbot', from lurksalot...[/url][/size] [size=4]The steam age is announced, with appropriate sounds, and a warning given to leave the premises. The start sequence is initiated (why should we be worried by being wished 'Good luck'..?) The monster awakes. Much creaking and whirring, a disto bass and we come to realise that a mistake may have been committed. Oh dear..! The vocals are very clear with their vocoder menacing, which is quite clearly not pacific..! Intent solely upon destruction and mayhem, there is no notion even of capitulation, only extinction. Suitably robotic, the voice leaves us in no doubt. The extended outro of disto guitars which end the piece do not bode well for the suite of events.[/size] [size=4]A chilling hint of another possible 'Shape of Things to Come' which could go horribly wrong. Is this the vain boasting of a megalomaniac bronze being, confined to an echoing hangar and unable to execute it's uttered threats..? Maybe it's a surprise reaction from an automate thought to have been mastered, but which turns upon its creators..? Either way, I'm glad I left the laboratory when I was asked to. I hope it can be turned off, or we're all in big trouble.[/size] [size=4]The previous review was...[/size] [size=4][url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/248094-play-of-the-day-octo-from-alittlebitrobot/"]'Octo', from alittlebitrobot...[/url][/size] [size=4]The next will feature [url="http://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/iron-giant"]'Iron Giant', from Bilbo...[/url][/size] [size=4]Until then...[/size] [size=4]Have a nice day[/size] [size=4]Douglas [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
