RULES ... 

✅ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline.

❌ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on

❌ Bagpipes, really! it maybe a wee dram on show , but be careful out there.

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

 

Deadline-wise, we will keep the theme going and aim for breakfast time on Burns Night 25th January

 

A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be grand.

Bass is my trusty Wal, with a spot of guitar (strat), Rhodes plug-in, drums programmed in EZ Drummer using Clyde Stubblefield Phat Kit, trombone is stuff recorded many moons ago for a previous compocompo by my old m8 Nick - I've taken some liberties with everything as it's all cut up to within an inch of its life then smothered in Quadraverb, Objeq Delay, Temperence Reverb or Dubstation apart from bass which is a single take improv from which it all stemmed...

Track has a good coating of Bassroom, Mixroom and Ozone 9.
