lurksalot Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) excellent picture A normal day in the Lurks family life .... Funny enough , I asked Lurksalittle if she would work on this months with me , she said "only if it is a picture of me" well, after the last couple of weeks , this picture could be Definitely raucous is my first train of thought * * the usual caveat that the whole train of thought is subject to appropriatte derailment as normal Edited June 1, 2015 by lurksalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirchTree Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Well this is certainly interesting! I can't help but think that some shredded guitar will be...useful in this endeavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirchTree Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Good grief paul, give us a chance!! Really like what you have though, I'm a real fan of heavy guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 We have a winner already..! Nice one, paul; send in your pic and we'll start the next challenge... I'm not very experienced in this sort of ambience, and so I'll take my time this time. Not that you'll notice any difference in the result, of course..! Don't wait up for me...

paul h Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks guys. The only way I'm ever going to get first methinks Yeah I like heavier stuff but I can't play it and I've just learned that I can't record or mix it either so no point in trying too hard Looking forward to hearing the other contributions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockfordStone Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 given that something heavy may work for this month, i might actually be able to get down on it for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorturedSaints Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I might have time to do something this month - wife away, no imminent gigs/rehearsals . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've done something which may appal everyone... Myself included! Now do I dare upload it, and perhaps do a slightly more accessible one as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1433264100' post='2789562'] I've done something which may appal everyone... Myself included!

Basschat doesn't like more than one disaster in a day. Looks bad in the newspapers and upsets members at their breakfast....old boy. Looking forward to what you have come up with - always something different. Edited June 2, 2015 by lowdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I think Lurksalittle might take the driving seat with this one , she has had an idea , and might actually be doing some work on it !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I put something together last night that I think is a credible starting point, Just need to see where it goes. It alternates between bars of 3:4 and 7:8. Yummy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I have a friend from Newcastle who's a dead ringer for the women in the photo and she's a very calm and collected sort - not the type to rage as per the image - so I keep looking at it and thinking: "Wow, something must've REALLY peed off Jenn!". ...I might use that as a starting point. Or the title!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
