June Composition Challenge

[lurksalot]

These months just seem to fly by, but then, we get get to hear the great new jazzfunkpunk from @Leonard Smalls who has been on fire again.

So its time to fire up the DAW once again and show how the following picture inspires us.

 

"Here's a pic. it's of some UFOs I saw while on a plane to Geneva a few years ago."

 

 

 

I guess that is just out of this world!

 

✅ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline.

❌ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on

❌ No Bagpipes, Please , please, will no-one think of the children.

Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 24th June ... Which of course, in reality, means tea time on teh 25th 

 

A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super duper smashing lovely. 

 

Good luck, Have fun

amongst Us

Inspired as we all are by alien music, I created this short piece in Canis Minor, building sounds on synths that portray typical sounds heard during alien encounters, including deep low bass.

All dynamics have been removed to capture and portray the natural sound, feel and anxiety of being probed in a busy alien space craft hospital.

Looks like I may be doing something slightly punky with my own vocalisations!

Thanks to @Leonard Smalls amazing experience and photo...

 

Jammin' with E.T. -  is inspired by how I imagine it'd sound when jamming with E.T. at 30,000 feet.

So I put on Syd Barrett's spectacles, and this is what happened... :

 

As one of the fathers of psych folk and lo-fi, here's an improvised instrumental lo-fi psychedelic folk piece in honor of the genius that is Syd Barrett.

 

First take improvisation, played on my 28.6" scale 4 string Ibanez GSRM20B Mikro Bass, equipped with just a single bridge EMG Geezer Butler J pickup, from the P/J set, wired directly to the output jack socket, and tuned in B standard tuning (baritone tuning), recorded through my "amp-less" setup directly into my Zoom H4n handheld recorder, and only edited through a simple Wav editor.

Thanks man, really appreciated, was fun to make. 
 

Liking your jam too, think I can hear some Pentangle too in between Syd’s psychedelics 😊

Thank you!

 

Honestly probably sounds more like Pentagle than Syd, but hey Spectacles does kind of rhyme on Pentagle, so it all makes sense.
