lurksalot Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 One of these beauties maybe! It’s about that time again , here we have a fantastic image chosen by @Dad3353 last months winner and a fine selection of suitably inspired tunes that I think does the choice justice. Now all that’s left is for you to have a listen to the offerings below and choose your favourite 3 by way of a tick in the boxes 1 @Dad3353 Down to the sea goes Brittany, to listen to the waves, gulls, passing ships with their sirens and horns blaring occasionally. Inspired by the festive ambiance (although it may rain...), she dances, waiting for her uncle, the diver, to immerge from the salt water. 2 @DubDelay Wrote this yesterday anyway after a week of Irish staycation: 3 @Leonard Smalls Talking of funky thing to play with, here's a funkyjazzy little thing which started with the piano solo bit in the middle musing on just what sort of party Mrs Gulliver might be travelling to with all her little mates. 4 @adamg67 I've tried to be a lot more direct again this month, and to come up with something that relates directly to the picture... a giant puppet girl taking huge steps, like a nice big ONE on the first beat, and all the little people buzzing around pulling the strings in between. It did come out with a slightly dark feel, but then who knows what a giant puppet girl is really thinking or planning? 5 @Nail Soup Inspiration was thinking about the puppet and how she may not want to be controlled, but to be free. Then I thought that the people on the ground are not free either... they have to follow directives to synchronise the movements. So I named the song Autonomy and stole a short phrase ("I want you") from the Buzzcocks song of the same name. 6 Lurksalot This one took a few turns on me to be honest, but I settled on a very simple approach, unsurprisingly I settled on a purely string theme and had a driving rhythm to provide the traction , lighter touches to add movement and the idea of kids playing to tie it together, all a bit loose , but I thought it suited better. 7 @upside downer Our heroine looks like she enjoys a good tramp around but she's a little unsteady on her feet so I've gone with quite a plodding, clompy tune with a slightly wobbly synth sound. Seeing as she's controlled by strings, I decided to use stringed instruments An excellent selection for you Voting will close at midnight on Wednesday 30th Good luck all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
