February Composition Challenge

[lurksalot]

A tie in January between @Leonard Smalls and @upside downer with 2 cracking tunes but the first off the blocks to claim the honour of picture choice, was, the latter. 

 

The latter? is that a new member? did they even enter? Am i losing it? 

 

"Hope this gives our marvellous minstrels plenty of ideas. The light at the end of the tunnel. Just about to exit the south side of Crick Tunnel on our narrowboat."

 

 

✔️ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline.

✖️ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on

✖️ No Bagpipes, can you imagine the reverb in tunnel, a V8 maybe, but bagpipes! . 

✖️ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you..

 

Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 22nd , its a short month guys , get stuck in

 

A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super smashing. 

 

Good luck, Have fun

I've managed to do some stuff... But just wondering how strictly we have to stick to some of the rules?

It's not like like I've done something heinous, like pan pipes.

But I've produced a Drum'n'Jazz (or Jazz'n'Bass?) epic which is about 18 seconds over 5 minutes. As it's obviously a great work of art it can't be edited as that would compromise its integrity 😁

What does the Great Hive Mind think? There's lots of fretless bass in it and it goes like the clappers!

A couple of BPM quicker should bring it just under 😂

 

it seems a shame to exclude a masterpiece for 18seconds, I’d post it and the voting public can apply there conscience to it 😁

I won't listen to either the first or last 18 seconds. Just let me know which part you'd like me to ignore 🤪

To be fair if Dad was about, he’d probably suggest chopping the 5 minutes off and leave the 18 seconds. 😉

It's only 90bpm, but the bass and backbeat go to 180...

Any faster and the world would explode!
