November Composition Challenge

[lurksalot]

Having shared the top step in October with @Al Nico , I wanted to get November started with a weekend ahead of us , so I took the liberty of choosing a quick holiday snap from last week.

 

Its a 'fishing' village called Olhos de Agua on the Algarve , I say fishing, but its pretty much tourists, as the boats don't seem to move very often! 

 

Some lovely cliffs and beaches, oranges and lemons, and a billion hotels and apartment blocks.

 

 

 

 

✅ 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 salty sea air 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 24th November ... Which really means tea time on the 25th I suppose 

 

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

 

Good luck, Have fun

Dark secrets lure in the ocean for the foolhardy surfer, shattering the seemingly idyllic beach life, in this unsettling electro surf metal piece:

 

Programmed in Reason 5, based on a 1st take recording I did of my tenor bass, used as a full sample loaded to the ReDrum machine in Reason.

Well, back to normal, except for this being a multi track track, and in stereo, which is something entirely new and different from the norm in the context of my contributions to this competition. 

 

Also thank you!

That’s great man, I really enjoyed hearing the new vibes 😊

@Baloney Balderdash It's a sonic monster. Fantastic. Again, all original style. I'm a fan.

Time to launch the power boat and tear about skimming the waves (watching out for surfers not).

I remembered how Portugal, back in the early 2000s decriminalised drug use... So I was reminded of classic US 50s scare-movie, Reefer Madness. Hence quotes from US 50s movies on the dangers of The Weed!

 

 

Bass is Sandberg Bassic thru Helix, some reverb. Guitar is a Strat, drums a mix of EZ and Ableton sounds. Clips are licence free from Loopcloud. Plenty of Dub Station and Quadraverb delays, plus Nectar 4, Neutron 3 and Ozone 9.
