Winter draws on. The evenings are shorter, nowt to do in t'garden, nor watch on 'telly. An inspiring picture, a willing keyboard and a surfeit of 'toys' to try out; no great surprise there, I'd have thought. Anyway, you're barking up the wrong tree; the photo leaves us parked on the horns of a dilemma, if you'll pardon the expression. What would you have us do..? Pack our trunk and branch out elsewhere..? Enough..! You've twigged; I shan't lumber you with a corny ending; I'll just log off and bow out.

Che Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Dad I see you being bored, nothing on the TV, short cloudy days, cold , beer fridge empty, ... you can join me on the Orient Express to Istanbul where the Sun is shining! I promise we will be back by the time voting for this competition starts! What say you https://soundcloud.com/papa-dusko/orient-express (NOTE; this is not my entry track) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabu Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Nearly a year (and a baby) - and nearly was meant for the year, not the baby - I found a couple of hours to spend on the basschat competition again. My interpretation of the pic is a rather lazy morning, yawning and stretching as the morning sun just has risen. I hope that comes through in the music as well. As usual, good luck to everyone! https://soundcloud.com/alibabu/yawning a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alibabu Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks, Che, I am sure you will have a hard time selecting the top three when all entries are in! And Dad, you can probably cut down a lot on the sedatives now, thanks to me. I´ll charge you accordingly of course. PM with invoice sent!

fingers211 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Despite the panning from the critics ( ) last month, I got another one ! Had this thought that there was a Germanic fairy tale about an evil commander who was put under a spell by a white witch. His arms,legs and torso are still alive and kicking underground, but his head has been stumped. Alas, I could find no such tale....so I made one up ! https://soundcloud.com/nigel-jewell/die-geschichte-von-hildegarde-und-godomar-a-german-fairty-tale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Here is mine. I struggled to come up with something this month but, today, it came to me. What would a tree sound like if it wanted to sing? I didn't want it to be a song because a tree would not sing a song. I wanted it to sound more organic than a song form so I improvised a theme with myself singing along to add that 'voice' to the sound. I think what I came up with reflects my idea so I am happy with the result. What I am thrilled about is the sound of the recording. It is totally dry. This is what it sounded like when I pressed record and then played it back. https://soundcloud.com/robert-palmer-1/let-the-wood-speak-let-the-wood-sing.

[/quote] Me too, my heart of stone Diddy is so far off the mark that I couldn't justifiably enter it and claim it was inspired by the picture. I've had another idea, but I won't get it done by tomorrow. I've listened to some of the entrants thus far and I have to say I'm very impressed. There is a runaway winner in my mind already but you never know it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
