And if we just got on with the composing, eh..? ...

I fear the worst.

Thanls, folks. An honour, against such worthy contenders. PM sent, to get the May Challenge going...

And the winner is... Dad3353..! Here, then, is your my Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2019_04.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...

Voted. Difficult choice, as usual; the difference, and tipping point, was the use of the 'big beat' half-way through, of which I'm allergic. Other than that, I'd have voted for all four. Good Stuff, all.

Don't tell me, let me guess... The one in the pink dress..?

You are the Grateful Dead and I claim my £5..!

Here is my contribution to the April 2019 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: Rikki1984. Not much to be said, really; it's rather Spartan (deliberately so...). All Stylus RMX this month, custom-patterned, with a tinge of Fx, and some light mastering. T'was fun making it, and I learned a bit more, as usual with these compositions. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.

Darn it..! There goes a wasted morning's inspiration..! Your loss.

Done, as best I can.

A touch modest with that 'something'; it's got a nice 'Cranberries meet Mark Knopfler' feel to it. Good guitar work. OK, the singing voice is what it is, but Dylan didn't do badly with his, and as for Neil Young... Well done; a worthy entry.

That's not a Chestnut, It's a Larch. ... OK, I'll correct it, but it makes a nonsense of your post. Serves you right.

Here is my contribution to the March 2019 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: Bleat. A long flight, all sorts of stuff goes around in one's head; this is but part of it (thankfully..!) All Vst's or free-to-use samples, all programmed by myself. Drums: Superior Drums 2. Guitars, baritone sax: Vst instruments. Sweet voices: Blue. The voyageur and BV's: samples. A fair amount of treatment required, to (try to...) get the samples to sing in the key required, at the right speed, plus a hefty dose of various reverbs, delays, EQ and compression, on individual tracks and Master buses. Yes, I know, 'Less is more', but in this case, it was 'More is required'. Sorry. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.
