Augustusmus compostimus challenge

[lurksalot]

Well then, with what amounts to a near runaway victory in these parts, we have a resounding outright July win for @Chiliwailer  

 

a well supported month with some great material and a worthy winner.

 

With the formalities nearly complete ( I need to do the certificate) we will crack on with his choice of inspiration for us ...

 

"It's summer, and if it were possible I know where I'd rather be right now.... I hope you all also find this image of trekking in Yellowstone Park inspiring."

 

 

 

✅ 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 eaten by the grizzleys. 

❌ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you..

 

Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 24th Augustus ... Which in reality, means an early one on the 25th , unless I'm away on my holidays!  

 

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

 

Good luck, Have fun

Aaagh

 

first world problems and that, but…

 

had a couple of ideas and thought I’d hook up the phone to Reaper via the interface , but I’ve got a new phone so the pricey cable I bought doesn’t fit the new phone. 
 

that’s ok I’ll use the old iPad …no battery , and now I realise I’ve got no ear phones / buds for the new phone ! 
 

just when I felt a masterpiece coming on aswell 🤦‍♂️

And done:

 

A calm folky instrumental, that seems fitting for the picture and location of it, complete with backwards intro that mirrors the mirror lake of the image  :

Solo bass, single track, 3rd take, instrumental, played on my 28.6" scale 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, tuned in G# standard tuning (as in one half step bellow the upper 4 strings of a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning, plus a high E), recorded through my "amp-less" setup directly into my Zoom H4n handheld recorder, and only edited through a simple Wav editor.

It’s a bit quiet over here, just @Baloney Balderdash so far…. 
 

Mine’s on the way, taken on a life of its own really.
