Nail Soup Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Herewith my entry to the July comp. Didn't have lot of time due to work, a weekend musical festival and a holiday all in, but just about managed it! Blurb: The picture evoked care-free playtime between parent and child (with my parents and also myself with my kids when they were younger), so the lyrics are from there. The music came from a quick mess-around with some jangly C86 ideas. Technical notes: Drums: library beats from MT Power Kit plus live tambourine. Bass - vantage avenger. Guitar: Squier Tele though Fender amp sims, Keys are Studio one Farfisa, Vox though a cheapo condensor. Lyrics in spoiler: Spoiler Remember those sunny days Home from work and time for play Lets go down to the park get home before it's dark Hold me high - push me up into the sky Swing me round - high up from the ground In the winter in the snow push the sledge and let us go rushing down without a care through the clean and frosty air Making the holiday plans barges and caravans sandcastles by the sea float along the broads so free 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Blurb: I took a literal approach. The Hippo, nature's most untrustworthy beast. Technical stuff: Drums are Yamaha birch with an oak snare via Thomann mics into a Behringer Pre. Basses are a L2K, guitars are a Tokai 335 and a Bacchus Strat, all into an Avid Eleven. Vocals through an SE condenser into the Eleven, also, and it was all smoooshed together in ProTools. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside downer Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Here comes another straggler staggering over the finishing line with hours to spare 😁 BLURB A lolloping, lazy saunter with a vaguely hip(po) hop groove. Mucking about at night is all well and good but, c'mon, the blazing sun is on its way; let's get ourselves in the refreshing water. It's been a few months since I did any lyrics and this is the best I could come up with. They're straight out of the 'June-moon-spoon' rhyming book for beginners. I apologise once again for inflicting my usual flat timbre upon you good people. Same old, same old with the recording gubbins - Westfield violin bass, Epiphone guitar, Yamaha keyboard, drum samples from Looperman, Vivlex echo pedal, Apogee Mic+ condenser mic, Roland cube amp, M Audio Fast Track Pro Interface. Recorded with Audacity and Wavepad. One day I'll try a different DAW but I'm struggling to find the time to get my head around the intricacies of the things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did hear that he wanted his very sexy lady friend foxy Fiona to play his 35" Lakland bass on the track but it would appear that Fiona is having trouble coping with Harry's extra long instrument. Hmmmmm, baby! Edited July 24, 2022 by upside downer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
