lurksalot Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I figured this month that as the main protagonists often have cause to reflect on growing plants and veg , and as it is toward the end of harvest season , what better , after all if Booker T can produce a piece that stands the test of time , I'm sure we can all get one out that can at least last a month either that or I've killed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I've got a bassline planted down. Shall veg out with it & see how it flowers. Just hope I can finish it in thyme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Here is my contribution to the October 2019 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by the previous winner: Lurksalot. The track title says it all, really; a Big Beet, with a hefty chunk of Cheese. A complete antithesis of the bucolic calm of the photo, but I can't dictate what comes into my head when I see these pictures, so... Two Superior 2 drum kits, and a subtle bass drum sample, three VST bass tracks (Ruby, a Rickenbacker and a Moog...), a sprinkling of free-of-rights samples, the whole caboodle liberally dosed with my 'standard' Cockos treatments (Compression, EQ...), plus Neutrino, Ozone and some sparing dollops of delay, tastefully garnered and mixed with Reaper. When dancing, please try to avoid trampling on the plants; I'm off to buy some more aspirin. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy.

lurksalot Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Mine is almost done , but it’s a song and needs a singist, the singer from my old band is on his hols , so I might have to ask the singer from my older band , he lives next door , if the opportunity arises I’ll ask him , if not, you’ll have the pleasure of my honed vocalisations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Who said that..? Is there someone there..? I'm sorry, I can't see in this dark room with my eye-shades on. What..? What's that..? Oh, the pain has almost gone, but the thumping at the back of the skull keeps fading back . My own fault..? Oh, yes, I now know, at my own cost, why I dislike so intensely that Big Beat Disco 'Thump..! Thump..! Thump..!' No, no, leave me; leave me now, please. It's all starting again..! Good gracious, will it never cease..? One, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, Edited October 15, 2019 by Dad3353 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upside downer Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Better late than never (probably)...... Electric saz, violin bass, keys, looper drum samples and somewhat rushed guest vocals by Buster "Composting" Austin and Elvis P.
