Dad3353 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 No, not an entry already (give me time..! ), just a previous compo for a picture of similar ilk; a sort of 'blast from the past' which didn't get used...

Mornats Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 That looks like an EDM dancefloor-killer bit of inspiration in that pic. Whatcha reckon Dad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Oh that was very enjoyable and superbly done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Cheers; it was fun producing it. It's not a 'dance-floor killer', though, I fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastav Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I put some words together to match the picture. This works when the picture doesnt give me any musical inspiration. "A thousand hands raised in joyful dance You can shake the weight of the world Just dance" That'll do for now. I aim to do my usual preachy modal jazz but a little more funky... or swingin...

xgsjx Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I immediately got EDM too. But I've got an idea that might fit the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH73 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I can listen to sound cloud but no idea how to upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] (Assuming you're on a PC...) Just to the right of the 'Search' icon (Magnifying glass...) there's 'Upload'. When solicited, you're prompted for a file to upload ('WAV' recommended, but most formats such as MP3 will work, too...). Once the upload started, and whilst waiting, you'll be able to attach an image, fill in the title, genre and description fields; once the upload iscompleted and processed, 'Save' will finalise the procedure and supply a link to the Soundcloud page of the music. That link can be pasted directly into a Basschat post, so that all may hear your works. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) I've got mine. Possibly the shortest song I've ever composed, but I think it says exactly what it needs to. Starts off with the bounce of the crowd, then they egg on the stage diver. After a minute, he leaps & floats through the air with this euphoric feeling, trusting that the crowd will catch him. They do & he's then bounced up & down to the beat, before landing on his feet to enjoy bouncing to the rest of the groove. [url="https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/crowdsurfing"]https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/crowdsurfing[/url] Enjoy. Edit: Updated the bass sound.

Leonard Smalls Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Managed to squeeze a short one out... Bit rough but not much time this month! And unusually, I've used the Sandberg. [url="https://soundcloud.com/dredd-and-the-badass-weed/ive-seen-the-light"]https://soundcloud.c...-seen-the-light[/url] And beware, it comes in fast and loud!
