So that's a good sign Don't put pressure on yourself. Nothing worse than trying to write a tune when it feels 'forced'. [/quote] well i started to give it a go and it terminally destroyed my computer, so until i rebuild it you wont get nothing off me Quote

I have got something together for this month , I was hoping for a little added family input but they all refused to attempt a noo yoke accent . so it is what it is , https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/jungle Quote
RockfordStone Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I had ideas for this one as well. But alas. Hopefully I'll be able to build my new one before the weekend Quote

You might be right about the vox - but I'm kind of new to this "singing" lark so kept it down a bit. However, it was higher until Soundclooud compression! Still, it's good enough for sport, as we used to say at Auntie Beeb's. Quote
CamdenRob Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 OK chaps here's my attempt [url="https://soundcloud.com/robhartley-1/ny-dittywav"]https://soundcloud.com/robhartley-1/ny-dittywav[/url] I decided against trying to sing in the end and just recorded a guitar line for the vocal melody I intended... I know, I know bit of a cop out but my lyrics just aren't up to scratch for public display yet! The photo made me think of some kind of US Psychiatry based talk show so I've gone for a bit of cheesy blues. Although listening back to it, it kinds sounds more like a theme tune to a western... ah well never mind, glad to be back in the BC comp comp Quote
CamdenRob Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Although the bass seems to have disappeared since uploading to SoundCloud... Strange times... Quote

the boy Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Here is my entry this month. I used a mastering tool on logic that when transferred to soundcloud etc it sounds compressed and a bit muffled but it sounds better on my Mac. Anyway I don't have time to do any more with it, so fete it is. It's based losely on my friends experiences on the streets in New York. I'm not sure how much of what he told me was true but it's not the kind of stuff you'd make up. Lol. https://m.soundcloud.com/theboysings/american-dreamer Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Nice! Really reminds me of something, especially the keys... And what has your "tool" done to Soundcloud? It's full page only, with no navigation, no moving cursor showing where you are in the track or owt? Miss, he's broken Soundcloud, Miss, Miss... Quote
RockfordStone Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 my computer lives, now maybe i may be able to squeese something in Quote
Bilbo Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I have finished writing mine but have tried to get a drummer friend to add real drums instead of my crap VSTs. Trouble is he is busy so I probably won't get it done in time so will have to submit my iffy version. Fingers crossed. Quote
Bilbo Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Not a brilliant effort this month but I had a lot on and am remodelling my studio space so couldn't find the time to spend on the piece (some dodgy notes in there that I would prefer to have dealt with but it ain't going to happen!!)

[/quote] Yes it reminds me of something as well. I hope it's not one of those situations where you think you've made something original that actually turns out to be a blatant copy of some thing else. The keys are nicked.... It's from a song that's uniquely American but luckily I'm not breaking any rules by using it as inspiration. See if you can work out what it is. 😉 Quote

There are some really cool entries this month. I completely missed xgsjx's entry so now that I've discovered that one I'm completely thrown again. Quote
Lord Sausage Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Ok so i said i wasn't gonna do this anymore but I have. I assume the pic is New York, if not ah well. New york evokes jazz, brass and grooves for me so I've knocked something together that i would be listening to in a taxi driving through New York. Here it is https://soundcloud.com/dreaded-ted/new-yoik Quote
Bleat Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hello, This piece includes a bit of everything..(including the sound of panic when I saw the closing date) plus the kitchen sink,which you can hear towards the end of the track. Unfortunately Kenny G. wasn't available to record the obligitory sax solo (ugh), however his half brother Ali was. Production quality is not stellar, I was attempting a less "bassy" mix for this one...

[/quote] I realised about a week ago that mine wasn't going to make it, so maybe I'll upload three minutes of the sound of (moderately) calm acceptance. Looking forward to hearing all of these: as usually, I wait until the voting opens and then go on a listening binge - hic! Edited March 22, 2015 by ras52 Quote

bobbass4k Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Finally got one finished again. 2 days early too. Please forgive me for the fade out, I don't know what came over me. [url="https://soundcloud.com/bobbass4k/anisotropic"]https://soundcloud.com/bobbass4k/anisotropic[/url] Quote
