Recommended Posts

The actual deadline is midnight on the 23rd and will be as soon as Skol is able to set up the poll after that , I think there is a small degree of flexibility , but just in case I'm getting in early , lots to do now on the Christmas run in.

so if you are feeling brave you could try this one out :rolleyes:

Got the basics of mine. Not sure I'll get time to get it how I want it. The vocal is a little too loud & the vocoder could be better, but it does represent what I hear when I look at the image. :)

I'll try & get a little more time next week.

Sadly I failed soo...........

Quite possibly Dad....I hired Rudolf to play the drums on this one....if you listen really closely you can hear me kicking the cat in utter frustration*





*(not really.... no cats or reindeer were harmed in the making of this tune,they were all played by actors)

Dear Sir or Madman...

We violently protest at the unscrupulous use of substitute whipping persons in the making of your productions. Whilst the use of live animals or sentient vegetables is frowned upon, taking it out on innocent, underpaid actors is not good enough. Stuffed dummies are available for hire from our premises on the Isle of Dogs; we also have a smaller stock in the Hebrides. Please make use of these facilities in future.
Thanking you in advance, we remain...

if only it was that easy, the song has a full structure, just at current i don't have an idea about what the bass can do yet, and given we are a bass forum i should put some in :P

You've obviously not been listening to [i]my [/i]efforts, then..! Bass..? If it's fundamentally required, why not, but 'minimalist' can work, too..!

because i composed it with the idea of adding guitar and bass to it it has spaces that i need to fill with bass or guitar unless i totally rethink the keyboard parts which i don't have time to do... maybe ill just rumble some root notes on a bass underneath... i mean thats all bass is right?

This is the day I always feared. The day when somebody would come along and take this challenge seriously and shame us all into doing things right, you sir, could very well be the pioneering force that changed the course of this competition forever. :D
