October Composition Challenge

[lurksalot]

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month , well a round of applause and a pat on the back maybe for both @Chiliwailer and @Wolfram , tied winners  in September with superb compositions. 

 

Well, onwards and upwards, so to get those itchy fingers back to the instruments , Wolfram has supplied the following for your inspiration.

 

"I glimpsed this ad on the Underground a while back - I was previously unaware that 'non-toxic' was a key selling point for an air fryer! Let's hear your ad jingles, weird and wonderful product endorsements, or songs about air fryers 😆."

 

 

 

✅ 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 suffer from the tubular reverberation and sound a bit off.

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

 

Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 25th September ... Which really means the last day of summertime , dark nights and closed neighbours windows , thus I can sing as loud as I like 

 

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

 

Good luck, Have fun

Wow, someone has beaten @Baloney Balderdash to the first tune posted!  

 

If 6 was 1  - You won't catch me singing, so because the Air Fryer poster said it's '6 in 1' I decided to do a little jingle in 6 styles.

Ok, so here's my contribution, had some issues transposing this month's image into musical ideas, hence the title, but since it is October, the Halloween-ish spin on this happens to fit well :

 

Single track 1st take recording, played on my 28.6" scale 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, tuned to E standard tuning, recorded through my "amp-less" setup, directly into my Zoom H4n handheld recorder, only edited using a simple Wav editor.

I reckon Tim Burton might make his dinner in his Ninja listening to that track 👻

 

Yep, photo posed quite the challenge for me too (not a bad thing), so just knocked out a quick entry as my ‘jingle’ was doing my head pretty quickly 😂

Yes, admittedly it is quite Danny Elfman inspired.

Which can only be a good thing then 👍
