April Composition challenge No-fool , Honest , its here

[lurksalot]

There are no pranks here, it is the April Composition Challenge, or as Mr Smalls would describe it... Compo-Compo 

 

I say no pranks, but as the eclectic @Leonard Smalls was the worthy winner for March , we might have expected a left field choice of picture , but even so.....be prepared to be enlightened!

 

In Lenny's own words...

 

 

"G'day!

Looks like folks voted for The Funk! So piccy here:"

 

 

I was perusing my science periodicals (as if!) and came across this (*) which reminded me of an attempted jazzy jam from a number of years ago. The organiser handed everyone a bit of paper with abstract colours on it and said "we'll be using this as the basis for our improvisation"... We made a proper racket but I did meet a really good trombonist!

 

 

*it's actually a wavelet periodigram showing Geomagnetically Induced Currents in power distribution lines (colour indicates power) as a function of time... It demonstrates the problems "solar weather" can cause in our modern techy stuff - there was actually a 9 hour power outage in Canada as a direct result of GICs!

 

 

 

 

Well there you go, a little learning along the way 

Usual simple rules apply 

 

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

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

❌ No Bagpipes, I think they might cause a few GIC's , but you can go and play them in Canada! 

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

 

Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 24th April

 

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

 

Good luck, Have fun
