discreet Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Tricky! These are all really good. I've noticed an exponential improvement in composition and production skills these last few months, so well done to everyone and kudos to all for taking the time and trouble to produce an entry. I really must try to enter next month. Edited April 24, 2015 by discreet Quote
BirchTree Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I really loved some of these pieces, very polished and emotive. Good luck to all who entered! c: Quote
Bilbo Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Can I vote for Lowdown three times? Wonderfully put together as always but I think you have surpassed yourself this time, Garry.. Quote
Annoying Twit Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I'm confused. The post says March's composition challenge, and the image isn't the "Funk" image that I thought it was. Quote
the boy Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1429870261' post='2755730'] Can I vote for Lowdown three times? Wonderfully put together as always but I think you have surpassed yourself this time, Garry.. [/quote] Agreed.... Well done lowdown. Excellent entry this month. I surmise from your submission that you are a single unemployed male, noone else would have the time to achieve such perfection. Quote
Skol303 Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1429870374' post='2755731'] I'm confused. The post says March's composition challenge, and the image isn't the "Funk" image that I thought it was. [/quote] Fixed! My bad. It’s definitely April Quote

fingers211 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Having listened to the back catalogue of this comp over the past 4-5 weeks, I got inspired to move on from the Boss br...so I've downloaded Reaper, priced up interfaces,mics etc etc.... After listening to all these excellent pieces, I think I'll stick where I am Anyhow,now narrowed it down to the last 8... Impressive work all... nige Quote

Bilbo Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I didn't look at this thread for two days and my vote tally has doubled!!! I'd like to thank my agent, my production team but most of all, my wife. Quote

BirchTree Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 A surprisingly tight vote between some members! Congratulations to all once more! However, i think most of us can agree Lowdown has this in the bag, fantastically produced work. Quote

Dad3353 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167486] Well done, lowdown, a top-class composition that fitted perfectly the theme. I could see the film...
