Dad3353 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 OK then, we'll pick up the gauntlet (again..!). Interesting picture; I'm pretty sure we'll get a quite diverse set of pieces. I like the closing date, too, and can imagine some sweating away at the last minute... "Yes, yes, start opening the presents, but I've a track to finish mixing first..." Heads down, then; off we go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Great picture. As soon as I saw it a bassline appeared in my head. Ok, let's get cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Congratulations, Spoombung! An excellent entry among a number of excellent entries last month. Now, this one could be tricky: October and November's pictures kind of jumped out at me, at least insofar as I could tell what kind of 'feel' I wanted to write. This one's not so obvious. That elephant does look very comfortable, but I don't think I've ever written comfortable music before. More thought required, evidently!

Dad3353 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Aw... Give the bloke a break..! He can play bass and compose well enough to win despite very stiff competition. It's most unfair to expect him to be a Natural History artist..! Of course it's an elephant; what else would doze off reading the Elephant Times..? Really, you chaps...

The drum sound is based upon my own drums, but I'd be incapable of playing them physically with such precision, I'm afraid.

That's the most inspired use of snoring I've ever heard. In fact it's the [i]only[/i] use of snoring I've heard... which makes it even more inspired Very cool composition, Douglas. And a very nice mix too. I've left various comments on SoundCloud as I listened through it. PS: you're becoming on par with Bilbo in the early bird stakes!

Steady on, there, folks, or this'll go to my greying head..! (...and no, it's not me snoring. How would I record that if I was asleep, eh..? Eh..? Well then...). Ta just the same. As for the alacrity, could I suggest a weekly challenge, then..? One of the benefits of having retired is having more time for frivolities. I like frivolities.
