Time to listen to the July Composition challenge ..............and vote

[lurksalot]

Who'd have thunk it , I got to share the top step last month with @upside downer and @Baloney Balderdash.

 

As it was a first time for Mr Balderdash , he  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):"

 

 

 

This has proved to be a popular image and inspired some cracking entries so have a listen through and choose your favourite 3 tracks 

 

 

1  @Baloney Balderdash     Flip Joint (The Contortionist).... Post Math Rock?

 

 

 

 

 

2  @Al Nico  The image drew me to imagine a futuristic fairground organ style circus sound. Happy tune with running bass, side snare and clapping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3  @Chiliwailer Old Age : New Age - the then young contortionist used to perform in the early 90s in ambient beats clubs. Now living off-planet, he’s a midnight street artist in the underground scene. Guitars are kind of ‘synthy contorted’ in his honour.

 

 

 

 

 

4  @Leonard Smalls  I thought a breakdancing Gandalf deserved something with bass chords and an Ian Dury-style random vocal. Oi oi!

 

  

 

 

 

 

5 @Lord Sausage  Listen to Echoes of the Altered by Dreaded Ted & The Nutters on #SoundCloud

 

 

 

 

 

6 Lurksalot   I was reminded of the whirling dervishes and the noises I produced seem to be consistent with that

 

 

 

 

 

 

7 @Jean-Luc Pickguard   was intending to add a vocal to my track, however on re-reading the lyrics I decided it was better left as an instrumental

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 @MoonBassAIpha   Inspired by the picture and by a jam at a friend's house over 40 years ago.

 

 

 

 

 

 

9  @upside downer  The Sage. Who is he? Where did he come from? What does he want? What does he know? Why has he started breakdancing in the old part of town? Has he got the moves? Can he still do them? Will we have to call an ambulance for the mysterious old coot?

 

 

 

 

Well that drew out some fantastic material, I really enjoyed listening through ... and will do again.

 

 

Choose your favourite 3  , voting will close at midnight on 31st July

Is it just me seeing a lot of broken links?

Edit: as you were,  it is just me! Seems to have resolved itself!

A lot of cool entries this month! Seems to be a proggy trend, that's good in my book!
