Nicko Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Here's my entry to this months challenge. It's a little hastily composed so a bit rough around the edges. Recorded in Cubase LE. The keys are mainly Xpand 2, with some Bassstation as well. Drums are MT Powerdrums. Vocals are me, through a guitar pedal board created in Amplitude (Digital Delay, Chorus, Envelope Filter and Distortion pedal). Enjoy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) A while ago, I realised I was fed up with drum machines, so bought a kit again and re-started learning drums. Of course, after selling my old kit a few years ago I sold all my old mics and outboard gear too. This is my first go at anything with my cheapest-of-the-cheap T-Bone and Behringer replacement gear 😁 When I first looked at the picture, I zoomed in and saw the drummer was called Illegal Al and, well... it stuck. I reckon Illegal Al plays some kind of obnoxious space jazz, of course and you'll be excused for screaming, not that anyone will hear you.

MoonBassAlpha Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) As it was raining today I've chucked something together. Probably should have given myself more time to learn how to play in 23/8... still, that will probably be a first for the composition challenge, if nothing else. Will check the mix after Strictly 😓 It's not very good Edited October 24, 2020 by MoonBassAlpha finally uploaded to Soundcloud 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All notes entered with a mouse Big Stars Todd was a zoned-out Oakland slacker / Suzy was a high school queen Todd said ‘Hey let’s start a band / How hard can it be?’ They called themselves Illegal Alien / Put an ad in the music store Hired a drummer, some old guy / His van was un-insured It don’t matter that they can’t sing / Don’t matter that they can’t play Who needs talent anyway? Drugs and money and fancy cars When they get to be big stars S’worth all the lies, the pain and the scars Cos they wanna be big stars Todd and Suzy packed their bags and / went out on the road Played about fifty week night dates / Guess what, Nobody showed Their agent said hey, look, kids, your act / just ain’t gonna pay the bills I’m thinking cosmetic surgery / violence and cheap thrills It don’t matter that they can’t sing / Don’t matter that they can’t play Who needs talent anyway?

Drugs and money and fancy cars When they get to be big stars S’worth all the lies, the pain and the scars Cos they wanna be … They wanna be ... they wanna be big stars (Real big stars).

adamg67 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Well, I'm happy anyway - nothing to do with the music, I just finally worked out where the right hand figure in the pic is from (Eve from Species). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I've not listened to all yet but the standard is higher than ever.
