Hope you all enjoy the picture, it's Antelope Canyon in Arizona, and a precious place for the Navajo. Though I'm sure the picture will also throw up some other great inspirations.

[SH73]

Will have to think hard with this one.

[xgsjx]

Got an idea in my head already!

[MoonBassAlpha]

Lovely picture.

No free time this month (medical matters that'll occupy most of May...), so here's mine, whilst I still can...

I'm fraid no free time for me either. Have been busy at work. Managed about 1 minute worth of song but no time to finish.

[Mornats]

I've got a couple of sample libraries and instruments that would do a nice ambient track for this.

No one else composes?

Haven't found anytime yet this month to do anything, mixture of a heavy workload and my health issues. I'm away with work next week so it's not looking likely for me

I'm just adding finishing touches to mine. The photos really help with getting initial ideas moving, which is usually where I have the most trouble.

I have a lot on my plate again this month, so I have kept this simple ...... and mercifully short

I have absolutely no idea how you manage to do your tunes to such quality in such a short time , incredible , and only cements my reason not to listen to them before I've done mine

...and enjoy it I did. I do likes me a spot of polyrhythm, does I.

...and 'Snap..!' for the thinking behind it all. Time, indeed, for a (re...) birth..!

Found some time and spent today making a tune.

Modesty. Perhaps you could start a thread on mixing, mastering, eq ing, compressing etc. So we can learn from master Dad.😊

I might take you up on that..! Once my ops and stuff are over (end of month or so, with any luck..?), I could lift the curtain on the days and nights of a retired sedentary armchair ex-musician with time on his hands and a barrow-load of projects 'on the go' at any one time. Be afraid; be very afraid.
