They mustve been selling a batch of these as I picked up a fretless one too!

Here's my entry for this month. It's a bit of a rush job I'm afraid - I've started a new job this week so I can't spare much time to get this composition as tight as I'd like. It's a shame really cos I think it had some potential. If I have time I will have another go at mixing and mastering it. It seems I had a similar idea to Nigel (nice track btw!) with a dystopian future ending in a rebellion of sorts. https://soundcloud.com/rikki-boyes/fight-the-fight

I must admit that was a lot better than I thought it would be. Good stuff!

I had a SR506. It was a top notch instrument.

Voted great stuff - Agwin's effort was the standout for me!

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1462112550' post='3040343'] Ooh sci-fi! Looking forward to this one [/quote] When I picked the picture I did actually think of you cos I know you like to do 'cinematic' and the picture definitely had a filmic feel. I can definitely see the Blade Runner vibe. I tried to pick something that could be approached from lots of different perspectives - just general futurism, film noir, the Notre Dame French setting, the dystopian feel with armed guards etc. I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys come up with! ☺

Crickey! Thanks to anyone who voted for me - whilst I question your judgement - I'm immensely grateful as there were some great entries this month. Cheers for the certificate Dad - it will have pride of place in my home. I'll PM Skol with the picture for next month ASAP. I hope you guys find it suitable! :-)

I just read this article - it seems relevant. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/what-to-listen-to/jacob-collier-lights-up-the-cheltenham-jazz-festival--review/ Talented guy!

[quote name='ratman' timestamp='1461599445' post='3036008'] I've been blown away with Nickel Creek, and after much googling I ended up watching Chris Thile nailing some Bach. I recommend you watch it all, it's only 15 minutes, as the last part is jaw droppingly technical. This guy is as good as it gets on the mandolin.

[quote name='Bleat' timestamp='1461493254' post='3035042'] Wow it's really close so far...all joint first/last on zero points ! [/quote] It's as good as it'll get for me!
