xgsjx Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Here’s me 1/2 way through writing an awesome highland jig with bagpipes, panpipes and a harmonica solo in the middle. Went well with the pic too. Ah well, back to the drawing board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 - "I'm a little harp" - "No you're not" - "Are you calling me a lyre?" I'm on the ball this month, not just with my excellent jokes but my track has been laid down. Just need to re-record a violin line I'm not 100% happy with and fine tune the mixing.

Mornats Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Finished it now So, this is the closest I'll get to a love song. "Strings" refers to those strings that pluck at yer heart and all that. There's a heartbeat pulsing in the background near the end (and a fast-paced beating near the start too) and there's general confusion throughout so yeah, love song 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Off to a good start, y'all, then..? S'gonna be tough, this month, as my Muse has done up 'n' gorn. I had a handle on summit, but it's dried up like an old prune forgotten on the window sill. Darn it..! S'gonna be a long month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Here is my contribution to the July 2018 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by last month's winner: Discreet. A sequence I've been playing around with for quite some years, really, but bent, this time into an abstract form of 5/8 time, at 88 BPM (they looked like eights, to me, so I leaned on the 'five eights' concept...). Brushed drums are Superior 2, in two batches. The bass is my trusty Trillian, a rather buried piano is a very basic 4Front Vst, all guitars are my Xaviere, played as 'one takes' by myself. Little treatment, just a bit of comp, eq and a spot of reverb for one of the guitars. Mastered using AAMS, 'Jazz' preset, otherwise 'brut de pomme' as recorded and mixed with Reaper. Again, it is what it is. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy. Edited July 7, 2018 by Dad3353 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Mine is nearly done , I am struggling with the voicing though as lurksalittle is in a 'non co-operational' phase at the minute which is causing a little friction shall we say 🙁 Ed to add and then I listened to the entries to far and 'Lethargy' seems to fit Lurksalittles current disposition quite aptly 😂 Jazz.........Niiiiiice Edited July 8, 2018 by lurksalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 well, Lurksalittle is away next week so I may as well post it already, I have put together some truly ridiculous pastiche to pay homage to the painting. enjoy classroom sounds were from freesound.org/people/reinsamba/sounds/73178/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Beginning to think I should have chosen a lovely picture of a lagoon, or a mountain, or something... I have one or two ideas... it's simply a case of getting them recorded. What could possibly go wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not mountains on the left..? Oh dear; I fear I've misconstrued the symbolic this month. Apologies; I may have to re-think this...

Bleat Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Usual tactics... blind panic... Just a tune really, not cutting edge or experimental, sorry. It is however typical of the "fools journey" sound. I prefer to go for accessible emotion. It comes complete with the painting inspiration and my "star traveller" artwork which I thought was quite fitting. The Artist's Passion PS sorry about the various wonky bits and rubbish mix !

alittlebitrobot Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Hello. I haven't been on BC in about a year, I think, so I stuck my nose into the BCC thread to see what's happening. I love a bit of Miró so I thought I'd give it a swing. I like his automatism so I started by drawing a melody in Ableton before I'd assigned anything audible to it, then went from there. To keep the childish mood that came out of it, I recorded some little toy guitar/ukulele thing that won't play in tune .......so this may test your patience Edited July 23, 2018 by alittlebitrobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
