lurksalot Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) Who'd have thunk it , I got to share the top step this month with @upside downer and @Baloney Balderdash congratulations. As it was a first time for Mr Balderdash , he has had the choice of image for us to work on and compose to, thus... "Here is my suggestion to the image for July. A mystic contortionist, admittedly AI generated (but on my intricate description):" ✅ 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, I think they would get tangled. ❌ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you.. Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 25th July ... Which in reality, means an early one on the 26th , unless I'm working on a weekend! A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super duper smashing lovely. Good luck, Have fun Edited July 1 by lurksalot 1 3 Quote
Stub Mandrel Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Something themed on a wandering finger, perhaps? One seems to have migrated from left to right... 1 Quote
upside downer Posted July 1 Posted July 1 I'm more worried about the old boy with the sickles for hands in the background. What if he needs to pick his nose? 1 Quote

Lord Sausage Posted Thursday at 16:57 Posted Thursday at 16:57 I'm gonna try again this month. I have a bit of time. Gonna go with an idea of twisting something as it goes along and have some mystical elements. 2 Quote
Al Nico Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Production Tools. MT Power 2 drums - Donation ware - 120bpm Little wooden Bajolele, Double tracked and panned stereo (SM57). Claps - Hands x 4, (SM 57) panned wide layered with centre clap sample Guitar - Budget Jackson V with Schaller hot vintage neck humbucker into Line 6 virtual plexi and 4 x 12. Bass - Spector with EMG-SSD passive with real solder bobbles - compressed. Synthesizer - Xfer Serum - played on PC keyboard . Line 6 USB1 audio interface - Pentium 2nd Gen PC - Ableton 9. I already recorded the ukes a few months back, so built a track using them. The image drew me to imagine a futuristic fairground organ style circus sound. Happy tune with running bass, side snare and clapping. Key of C, the happiest key. I can't really say I wrote the tune, more fitted together a load of typical musical clichés, and probably some nursey rhymes and music I've probably heard before, until I had a big happy futuristic showbiz extravaganza. I had fun making it. Left it a bit sloppy too because it seems to work like that? Very different to what I usually make. 1 Quote
