November Composition Challenge voting thread

[lurksalot]

It seems like a bit of a short month this time but with December next week, I guess it's time to get voting! 

Just a quick note regarding December, it will, as tradition, be a cover song challenge, any cover you have recorded over the year will also be welcome.

As per usual, I have had all year to think of a cover to do, but have not yet decided! 

Anyway back to business...

 

The Inspiration for November was chosen by last month's worthy winner @SH73  who offered us ....

 

"Something futuristic"

 

 

 

So please use your 3 Votes to pick your faves from the following...

 

 

1  @AndyTravis     Its a holding track , I think (   Lurks)

 

 

 

 

 

2 @Dad3353   Just keep going. Don't look up, keep your eyes down and try to look natural...

 

 

 

 

 

3 @Boodang    The image reminds me a of the game Bio Shock. With that in mind this is the result.

 

 

 

 

 

4  Lurksalot  

We had grand little Lurks over last weekend , and he played the piano for a while , when I say played, we set the soundscape, I hit the record button, and he had some fun making a lot of the noises.

It was ideally a soundtrack for one of our 'expeditions' in a star wars kind of way, but I did a bit of cutting and restructuring and I thought it fitted this quite well, if a little dark.

 

 

 

 

5 @Leonard Smalls     I got to thinking about a certain type of person for whom the future is only acceptable if it stays exactly the same as the present, hence a ditty about some bloke who won't never grow up.

 

 

 

 

 

6 @Wolfram    The soundtrack to a carefully-planned and executed mission to rescue the Princess and her people. Channelling a little Vangelis maybe, and segueing into a full-on dance track, I present "Follow Me"!

 

 

 

 

7 @MoonBassAlpha    I got a strong Blade Runner Vibe from the pic, so there's a bit of that ambient element, but then I DO enjoy bashing the drums too

 

 

 

 

 

8 @sammybee   the 4 in the foreground look like they are heading home after a heavy night in the club as the sun rises..

 

 

 

 

 

9  @upside downer   Get me out of the Paranoid City, where the trees are scorched and the living is gritty, oh, won't you please take me home? A wary and weary band of cyberpunks plot their route through the mean streets where fear, suspicion and mistrust rule.

 

 

 

 

 

10   @fingers211    At some time in the future, (actually it's 18 minutes after the Rush album), if you have a thought of your own or one deemed to be out of the collective, then a blue light glows round your head only seen by the "Thought Spotters" . Once spotted, you're escorted out the city gate !!

 

 

 

 

11 @BabyBlueSound  Halloween is long gone, but the Post-Halloween Prowl is still on! Cheer up, hit the derelict streets, get your digital sweeties, and try to have some fun for once in this wasteland

 

 

 

 

12  @SH73   Human T`Error inspired by Terminator movies

 

 

 

 

Weighed in , Weighed in

 

That's 12 pieces of original compositions for your delectation , have fun listening and choosing your Favourite 3 

 

Voting ends at midnight November 30th
