Will likely miss this month due busy schedule. Every time I listen to entries it makes me think. So many great composers here on BC; none of that modern music nonsense in pop industry ( I mentioned then removed someone' s name, probably best to).

Well done everyone.....and watch out for Mornats and dad.😁

Oh I like this one! It's already given me some cool lyric Ideas; "I've got 9 lives, 9 chances to die, 8 to waste and 1 to say goodbye." that might have to be the chorus hook but I'm not sure... I also quite like;  "Look out in the blackout, chaos is order when mapped out, full bore call it flat out, so breath deep before you lash out." not sure though, I'll get on it this weekend and see what happens.

I really need to get writing again for these challenges... it's been a while.

Doubtful it'll be this month, as my work life is still in overdrive. And heh, it's sunny out there! B| But when things settle down it'll be good to get back in the saddle and splurge out something vaguely musical alongside you good folk.

In the meantime, this is what my thoughts would probably have turned to this month. So count yourselves lucky.

I'll let this one settle for a couple of days , I haven't seen my way in yet 🤔

I'm not sure of my approach just yet! Any time I've chosen a picture to use I've always gone for one that I've taken myself and it took me a while to find one that wasn't of my girlfriend's dog! I didn't know which one I'd choose until I uploaded it to Basschat so I've had just the same amount of time to think about this one as everyone else :)

Fun fact: other than the composition challenge pics from others, all of the pics on the tracks on my SoundCloud were taken by me.

Good Stuff indeed..! ^^ Nice 'hats', too. With a touch more production it'd not disgrace a NIN album. I'll not declare it an automatic 'Winner of the Month', but the track that beats it will have to be very good indeed..! B|

On another note, I may have to dip out this month. I've started, but Stuff is getting in the way (not feeling well doesn't help...). I may yet squeeze past the post, but don't hold up the voting waiting on me.

 Been a while etc, etc...Anyway, bear in mind that this, the first track Ive ever submitted, was written, recorded, mixed and mastered in one day. The idea came to me while while looking at the image and watching our various cats going about their business and interacting with one another; 

 It starts off pleasant enough, then changes to a slightly ominous atmosphere before kicking off... if you have cats you'll (hopefully) get it

@kingofthestuntmen this is great! Love the arrangement and all the layers are awesome, very nicely done indeed. 👏

 Thanks, AD. I deliberately didn’t listen to yours before I posted, but I’ve given it a listen since.

 That’s quite a bass tone, and I love the percussion.
