JellyKnees Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'm going to have a go at this..I have a 'concept' in my head, not sure how it will work out but it will be interesting to write like this for a change, i.e. using a picture as inspiration and also within a fixed time period.

xgsjx Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) [quote name='the boy' timestamp='1444254908' post='2881723'] Any history to the picture. I've never seen it before. [/quote] It's called "Great Destinations" by Henryca Citra. Google his name & have a look at his stuff on Deviantart. Here's what he has under the pic... [quote]This is the invitation image that I made for some event in my home town medan, so behind this image that I want to describe is : "to develop medan into a city of art" ( anykind of art, can be music, architecture, painting, theatre, etc), so I drew a landscape view with a bunch of identical landmark from medan city, like water tower, n a view of old dutch buildings, n many others, mix with a surrealism n cartoony feel inside. hope you all like it, comments n critics are most welcome. [/quote] The original is a bit wider with some more goings on & is also flipped the opposite way around, the one above is what I have as a background on my laptop.

lurksalot Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Mine is nearly there now , no lyrics on this one though, but the inspiration from the photo has taken me to a very odd place ......inside Lurksalittles head , she used to daydream a lot , still does a bit , but her head goes off to Emmatopia , and that is what the picture is , it is the place where the daughters thoughts go, mainly when she should be doing homework Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is very strange. All in the head for now but I will try and get it recorded this week. I'm not sure where it came from or what it's about but I like it.

Bilbo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Here is my little effort for this month. It is a trio of guitar and two seven string basses (all played by me). The chords are guitar whilst the bass and melody lines are all the seven string bass. It's all a bit pathetic, if I am honest. A good idea badly executed. I spent as much time on it as I felt able to and, whilst I am not happy with the overall performance, the tune is in there!! Make of it what you will https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/bicycle-ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I am in as well now , it has come out a bit Bert Kaempfert meets James Last as it happens , however , my initial ideas were to have it a bit childrens TV theme meets Herb Alpert .......middle of the road....moi so , I reckon its the closest I have got to my original idea since I first entered this challenge. https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/emmatopia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I like them all so far. My tune has a foundation. I think it's pretty strong. It's what was in my head (ish) so I can't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I've rolled mine in 3 different colours of glitter, added an antique wax finish and coated it in diamond-hard varnish. Enjoy!

fingers211 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Here's my effort. https://soundcloud.com/nigel-jewell/journey-of-dreams Went for a change of direction this month and I found it very frustrating !! Was meant to be uplifting but I couldn't help but notice the black cloud !! Really not sure about it but I've learnt a lot more about Reaper !!
