Mine is, unsurprisingly, Mornats Oh, and I've now voted after listening to all the tracks. Superb effort everyone, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockfordStone Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1354282465' post='1884402'] I'll be entering December's comp, regardless. [/quote] i might sit out the next one, im getting some new gear at the end of december, so i may write something a bit more less traditional song, but i wont have time.... unless i just of course write a traditional song again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Man Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 My first post here! Saw the plug on the BC Twitter. Bit late to the party but better then never eh? Great music being made by all of yous. I'm gonna have to try my hand at this sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have finally had time to listen to all the tracks. Well, they are all awesome and I've had a horrible time trying to pick only one among them. I have made an effort not to be naturally attracted to the ones that belong to my favourite music styles, and to concentrate instead on composition, musicianship and general feel. I have finally voted for Robert (Bilbo) because once i start listening to it I can't drag myself away. But well done everyone. I haven't been able to follow the whole of this thread and I'm not sure whether this question has come up already but - why doesn't Basschat create a downloadable album with all the tracks for each month of the composition competition? I for one would love to collect all the tracks from last month and this month (I wasn't aware of the competition before then) and the future ones, and happy to pay for them.

You still have time to listen to the tracks and vote. I'm hoping that, if the competition starts to attract more listeners, other companies may come forward and offer other generous prizes like 13 Guitars are doing for this one.

Silvia Bluejay Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 A CD with the winner would be fine, but I would be happier to be able to also refer back to the other tracks taking part in the comp, as there can be only one winner but all of the tracks are of a very high standard, and it would be a shame, in my view, for us listeners to forget about them.

Dont have a problem myself with the idea, but wouldnt want to get into any legal problems. Someone in the know would need to check things and OK them I suppose. Otherwise we could hit problems.

BigRedX Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) IIRC according to the competition rules there shouldn't be any material like samples that requires additional copyright clearance in the compositions in the first place. Whether you aim to make money from your works or not does not make any difference regarding the use of material to which you don't own the copyright, or have a licence to use.

BigRedX Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I don't understand. I thought that we were talking about compositions using samples taken from sources that the composer doesn't not own the copyright to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 F'IN'ELL! Just got back from up north... thought I was going to be trailing by now but WTF has happened to the scores today?!!! Gobsmacking amount of votes. My SoundCloud plays have gone crazy too. I ain't complaining about that - seems like Elvis has had a spurt on as well. Must be a load of new sign-ups amongst these voters, unless the BC community has finally come out in force? Anyway not long to go... I'm putting the kettle on :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Of course, it's obvious upon reflection (not my forté, apparently...), but Friday midnight UK time is not the same as Friday midnight in France..! It took me a while to twig why the poll was still running. A real Homer-type 'Doh..!' moment. Sorry; just biding time 'til the strike of Big Ben. Tenterhooks, eh..? Only a couple of minutes now...

paul_5 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Just sneaked in a last minute vote - been mulling over my 'top 3' for a while and finally made my mind up. The standard of entries has been brilliant (as always), and I've really enjoyed listening. Thanks BCers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 WOW!!…I'm lost for words. Been up for nearly 20 hours today so thoroughly knackered and can't think of anything clever to say other than a MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who voted this week (both times!). A respectful doff of my cap to comrades who took part in the challenge; cheers to Bluejay for plugging the voting on the BC Twitter; Charic for setting all this up in the first place (hope your gig’s going well mate!); and of course Paul at 13 Guitar Co, who I'm looking forward to having a chat with… :-) Everyone here must know that my track wasn't the best of the bunch in terms of technical skill and musicianship. Not by a long chalk. But it's been the most popular in what ended up as a three horse race - and it'd be good to know why so I can pull it off again! Anyway… I'm not going to put on a load of fake modesty about the result - I'm stoked! :-) Off to crack open a bottle of something and will be back in the morning - most likely with a headache - to email Charic with a pic for December (who'll probably also have a headache). Cheers! And thanks again. I feel very honoured, corny as that might sound. Paul x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Houghton Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Your track was well produced, was linked to the pics and was a catchy number with some good lyrics, sometimes simpler is better, too many ingredients often spoil the broth. Chuffed for you, genuinely, can feel the buzz of you from here and im in Wigan. Gonna have abeer myself now and watch later with jules Cheers and well done!
