lurksalot Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) A close run campaign for the April certificate was only split by a single vote, enabling @AndyTravis to receive another presentation by @Dad3353 for the prize. So early off the mark this morning Andy thus sent me the following image ... "There we go - spaced out, ejected etc " Simple rules ✔️ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline. ✖️ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ✖️ No Bagpipes/panpipes, everyone had the chance last month's previous month, so there! ✖️ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you.. Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 25th (I'll get up sharpish on the 26th if I can ! ) A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super smashing. Good luck, Have fun Edited May 1 by lurksalot 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 well who'd a thunk it first in with a silly soundscape Ibby 6 string through a couple of waves gtr3 patches , loads of synth type sounds from the digital pianola and a couple of samples from Freesound modified a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I've made a start on some Mutant Jazz, to follow on from Mutant Disco last month... So far we've got a bass improvisation to a 140bpm click track, plus drums - which I've built up from individual brush/cymbal/rim/drum sounds - they're 16 tracks! Next it's keys, guitar then found samples. Be Afraid!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) https://on.soundcloud.com/objzcrxnvWymRRYS8 yay! Really happy with this. Just love the Shergold doing its thing, have demoed this for the band and we played it on Bank Holiday Monday. Just struck me that it’s a May composition, the first lyric the singer put to it started with “Home Again” so I thought of the man ejected into space wanting to be home again… Edited May 26 by lurksalot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Here's Event Horizon, where I aimed for a 70s Krautrock feel. It is is about looking into, and being pulled over the Event Horizon of a black hole which might actually be a wormhole into a parallel universe.

Leonard Smalls Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I done some jazz! A chaotic riposte to James Blood Ulmer's "Jazz is the Teacher, Funk is the Preacher"; this is The Creature! This started life as a bass improvisation over a 140bpm click track... Bits of guitar (Strat and Gretsch) were added and layered, plus various keyboard VSTs (clavinet, rhodes). Finally some brass ensemble VST to hold it together and trumpet samples found at Loopmasters to give it more spice. The drums were assembled using 16 tracks of individual brush/cymbal/hi-hat/tom sounds from Ableton's Loopmasters jazz drums sample bank. Most tracks ever used too - 36! All mixed in Doblies with a smearing of Neutron 3 and Ozone 9, guitars going through Bias FX and bass as recorded apart from a spot of small-room reverb. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers211 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Following the old 'Catchphrase' mantra, I've sung what I've seen !! T-bird bass, squire guitar keyboards and vocals all my undoing with MT drums trying to keep me in time ! Another pc breakdown has caused a loss of plugins and vst's (and loss of sanity on my part), so created in Reaper using all the stock plug-ins. Anyway, it was still good fun...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Okay, I'm in this month! Drums played by my electronica band's drummer. Bass played on the Roli Rise. Other parts using a mix of softsynths. I really wanted to use my Jupiter for some of this & if I get time, I'll use it for a vocoder part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside downer Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date... Flying craft and missiles are the order of the day for mankind yet again as we find ourselves fighting on the edges of space and time. When will we ever learn? Hopefully, I've tapped into a vague Hawkwind vibe both lyrically and musically which, in my book, can only be a good thing. Lyrics hidden below. Spoiler Under the spell, here we go again Ignorant masses, we must be insane Reason and logic are out of style The war is raging, it could take a while Event horizon on the edge of time There's cosmic chaos but I'm doing fine Speeding through space on the edge of the stars I remember my teacher said I'd never go far The battle continues in the great unknown The peace is over, that bird has flown We fought them on the beaches, now we'll fight them in space It's the same old story with the human race Power speaks, the narrative unfolds The struggle is just, or so we've been told Grab your weapons, tie your colours to the mast How many more times will we ignore the past? Lunatics in charge and morons at the controls Firing the missiles into the black holes Conflict on the fringe of singularity The madness continues to its apogee Four dimensional space-time war Can't tell who's winning, no one's keeping score Mankind always ends up in these kind of scrapes Have we really evolved much ever since we were apes? Westfield Les Paul copy, Westfield P-Bass copy (I like Westfields 😁, Vivlex delay pedal, MT Drums, Apogee+ mic. Most of it through a Roland Cube and recorded in time-honoured fashion with Wavepad, Audacity and Ableton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
