[size=4]My idea is currently a cross between Brazilian capoeira music and Caribbean dancehall/[color=#545454][font=Arial]reggaeton. [/font][/color][/size][color=#545454][font=Arial][size=4]Neither of which countries are home to tigers, granted. But that's what I'm hearing in my head; so that's where I'm heading... And besides, tigers are good swimmers, right?[/size][/font][/color][/size][/font]

Asia to South America? I think their swimming runs to about 100 yards across a slow running river but, hell, I can't talk about idiomatic integrity? My tiger plays a bhodran!!

Here we go, then... 'Felis Tympanis' ...Latin for 'Tiger Toms'. Or maybe it's 'Cat Drums', I'm not sure... :D

Boats! They use boats. Look, proof:



Explains the bhodran and my planned berimbau.

Although they apparently [i]detest[/i] bagpipes. Just saying, in case...

If we're having Sumatran tigers going by boat to Brazil and playing Irish drums, then the next evolutionary step for them must surely be bagpipes ? ............................!!

Logic has a fantastic bagpipe sample. I'll make you a wee tune with it next week if I get time between making cake.

[size=4]Great entries so far.[/size]

[size=4]I managed to make a start on mine over the weekend. No flouncy pianos or other real instruments for me this month... it's shaping up to be more my usual staple of MIDI and sample-based perversion. Plus ethnic stuff.[/size]

[size=4]That said, I still can't stop humming 'Eye of the Tiger'... thanks xgsjx! :P Grrr.[/size]

Went to the chippy for lunch today & it was playing in there!
Had I been able to get away with it, I'd have used a sample or two from it in my track. :biggrin:

I have found myself an 'in' to the picture , as I guess the tiger is in fact an Asian tiger of one type or another , I intend to use my Spector Legend for this challenge , this bass was made in Korea which is in Asia , so linkage established. Its just what sort of tune to play with it is the next problem , but I see a lolloping kind of groove as tigers mostly lollop , when they are not running on the sea that is :D , though it could be fishing for jellyfish , and they kind of flop around a bit , so its definately a lollopy floppolly groove I need :o

Correct, there are NO wild tigers in Africa. :)

After checking a few photies ,I've taken it as the Sumatran tiger........and they have webbing between their claws.....so wicket-keeping is always an option !!!

Mine's done... No actual tigers though, just 2 blokes trying not to have a punch up in an Indian restaurant, with my Mrs supplying the calming influence...
