xgsjx Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 The only reason I’ve missed the past few comps is because I had written songs using panpipes & bagpipes. Liking this month’s inspiration. 😎 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be brave , anarchy is your friend ......but make sure they are very low in the mix, that is, very very low , a bit like homeopathic panpipes and bagpipes 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hi all, It's been a long time. I'm practically retired from music nowadays and the grand old age of 39. Going to and fro in my mind whether to sell up or not. Anyway, my eldest son, who is 9, is getting into music and had listened to my previous entries from a few years back in this and decided he wanted to enter. So he's done this. All i've done is give it a rough mix. So here is his entry This is still how you do it innit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Here is my contribution to the November 2018 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by last month's winner: Lurksalot. An all Kontakt soundscape, using solely the 'Factory' orchestral woodwind and percussion, and a synth for a couple of sounds. Please keep your pets protected when playing this, as some could be upset by the sounds. I would advise against turning up the volume too much, too. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Blatantly flouting protocol, but I did this yesterday, just for fun, using a random 'virtual firework' video found on t'web (the work of a certain Mattéo Géa, in France...), and had a splendid surprise. No editing of either the video or music; it just seemed to fit together..! Maybe any soundtrack would do the same..? Dunno. Just sayin'...
