Skol303 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 [color=#800000][size=5][b]>>> UPDATE <<<[/b][/size][/color] Firstly, wow! I've only had a very brief listen to some of the entries and from what I've heard they sound great. Well done guys, you've all clearly got the [i]fonk[/i]. I'm planning to launch the voting tomorrow night, as stated in the original post, but... I'm away on a work trip to the depths of mid-Wales [i](you've all read Heart of Darkness, right?)[/i] where I might not have a WiFi connection. So if you don't see the voting thread get pinned tomorrow night, then don't panic. In which case I'll post it up late on Thursday and allow an extra day of voting to compensate. Which reminds me, I need to get my own track finished Cheers all, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Ok, I’m done. Enjoyed it this month. I can’t really say that what I’ve come up with is funk. Maybe more like soul, or RnB, or well, I don’t bloody know… it’s funkish. That’s as good as I get Bass and guitars are my own (Fender P with flats and an old Strat copy). Drums were written in MIDI using a sampled kit (one of several I’ve nerdily put together over the years). Rhodes piano and strings are from the default Reason factory sound bank, again written in MIDI but with some automation to help make them sound ‘played’. The vocal is unsurprisingly not my own. It's a royalty-free acapella sung by a lady called Patricia Edwards, who from her SoundCloud seems to put out a lot of soul and Gospel. Nice voice. Well it was until I dropped the pitch, fooled around with it and turned her into something sounding like Gnarls Barkley It sort of fitted… so it stayed. Here’s the link: http://soundcloud.com/skollob/never Comments and criticism very welcome, as always. As mentioned, I’ll try to post up the voting thread tomorrow night. Failing that (due to work travels) it’ll be on Thursday. Cheers all. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know how all these will be received. The voting is going to be a real lottery, I think. Another potential winner, Paul; well done.

the boy Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's gonna be very tough to pick a winner this month. I've listened to them all a lot and there are 4 that I could vote for as it stands. Need to pick one though, that's the hard part. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... I need to sleep on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
