Doctor J Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) I left it a bit late to start this month so it's rough as bejaysus but I'll live with it. The pic made me think of the classic TV show Kick Start and, from there, the other great theme tunes of youth TV programming from my childhood. I've gone for a TV theme tune of sorts. This is the show where things go wrong, though, so any chord progressions and melody must be wrong too. Curse my childless loins for not having actual children to exploit for vocals, so the tightest pants available were donned. I do apologise. As ever, Pearl Export drums into the cheapest mics and pre-amp Behringer sell. Hamer Chaparral bass and Bacchus Empire guitar into an Eleven. Vocals too, actually. Synthesis via Reason.

I think you nailed the TV theme idea. I had to Google the Kickstart theme though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamg67 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) I havn't had time for one of these for a while now, but thought what the hell, I'll see what I can bash together, and ended up quite liking it. So here it is, all slightly less then one and a half minutes of it. For the voting page: I just looked at the pic and played what I saw, chanelling the Datsuns (the band, I mean) to get there: Adrenalin, speed, everything blasting along full throttle until... mechanical failure. Nothing very technical about this one, bolted together and messed about with a nice Groove Monkee beat, then thrashed around on my Ibanez RGIB6 baritone until I had a riff I like, double tracked that with the (I dont' deserve it) PRS Custom 24, pounded out the bass on my newly acquired Sandberg Forty Eight and then a bit of lead with the PRS again. Amplitube for all the guitar noises, very quick mix with some Maserati plugins thrown in to try and un-muddy it a bit.

MoonBassAlpha Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 This is in early by my standards. I started out under the influence of the Sneaky Little Devil type slow grooves, toyed briefly with cod-reggae and ended up here. Not sure where here is, there aren't any signs and I arrived here very quickly! This tune is meant to make you feel uneasy. It's often in 15/8, and often not. Mustang bass into valve amp with a bit of drive. Godin guitar into same amp with CryBaby. Drums with parallel compression and distortion, a new experiment. All the glitches are as-played, no fancy slicing and dicing going on in the digital domain. No siree! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upside downer Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) And another one. Struggled a bit this month to get a handle on it so it's a one instrument and vox combo with a tiny dash of effects tomfoolery. Blurb for voting thread/ A simple tune with some hackneyed blues lyrics about purchasing a quad bike from a Mr. Osbourne of Aston, Birmingham. Recorded using NCH Wavepad and Audacity, a four string cigar box guitar in G, a Danelectro Pastrami Overdrive and a Roland cube utilising a little bit of echo and reverb. Lyrics here. Spoiler Woke up this morning Can't lay here all day in bed Gotta buy me an ATV From some guy called Osbourne instead Calls himself the Prince of Darkness Wants to meet at the crossroads Not the motel He's selling it on 'Cus he'd had a crash Said it rolled over on top of him Gave his head such a bash "Any lasting damage?", I asked "I'm fine now", he replied "I meant to the bike" I bought it anyway How, how, how, how Boom, boom, boom, boom Boom, how, boom, how Spoon, jar, jar, spoon Did some mid-air tricks Looning on the dune I heard a snap, the wheel's flew off That's put a crimp in my afternoon No wonder he got rid! I'd ask for a refund but his wife looks terrifying Woke up this morning My wife had gone and left me Oh, and my dog And my budgie Damn!
