April Contest: RULES and SUBMISSIONS

[Laguna Rising]

This month I didn't met the usual problems to stay inside the 2 mins mark

One of several possible trax

Forgive me if the title sounds ambitious, but it means I hadn't a specific idea or inspiration.
10/4 - 5/4 - 9/8

Cheers

[Barnadine]

This one's in 5/4:

Ward

Cheers.

[deaf dunderkwac]

4-18

highly imaginative title, ehh?


fooling around (err, testing) with effects and samples, I ran across a patch for the Sun Ra VSTi that reminded me of my last piece. So I slapped it all together to make this time/tempo evolving piece.
but it never stays in one tempo long enuf for me to figure it out.

I mean, I composed this specifically for this month's contest

using:
BJ Wavechanger2
Sun Ra
mda RoundPan
Reverb-o-matic
Moppeltron

Here is my entry. Scherzo in G minor, 9/8 time. Basically, a classical piece for a quartet of soft synths. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for listening.

The Golden Pavilion

-------------------------------------------

i'm not quite clever enough to determine the exact time signature here - i set eXT to 9/8 and attempted built the rhythm up live, noticing that my beats fell somewhat askew i think i may have ended up elsewhere. anyhow, the rhythm provides a bed for improvised piano, voice and cello to meander somewhat.

a couple of weeks ago i visited kyoto and the lyrics are derived from visiting the golden pavilion which forms part of the rokuon-ji temple complex:

kinkaku-ji
golden temple
indulge this peaceful life
in serene accordance

all those days of ruin
harmonious

100 years
gold of chinese phoenix
settles on
thatch of shingle
where starlights fall

---------------------------------
eXT, sr-202, plugsound free, sfz with fitch's cello and a temple gong soundfont, kjaerhus classics, discoDSP EQ, ixox's octadel and PSP vintage warmer

This track is the evolution of a song I used to play with my band, some years ago. The track has now evolved into something completely different...

[mellotronaut]

We're the 'other ones' and we're here. Jerry had to hurry in the third part of the 'guitar-solo', because we had only 2 minutes to tell the story. Reason was involved, Samplitude SE (que pesado!), Sir and some other effects, mainly in Reason. And the envelopes. 11/8, btw.
'García' is here in the clouds again:

Hi! here's my entry : http://rapidshare.de/files/18665325/06_ ... t.mp3.html
(scroll down, then click free,wait 20 seconds, type the code and that's it!)
It's a 5/8 song that I think would have its place on a video game, with a lot of shiny colors and dragonflies...
This song was made with psycle, I sampled my guitar for this and added virtual instruments and real sounds from drums, final mixing on wavelab, cheers! Vince

[Col.G]

Somebody had to do a 6/8 blues tune, so I did.

Turned Down Blues.

Words by Melanie.
Vocals by my sister, Agent E.

Yes,I will bring in hot chicks to help write and do vocals on a Col.G song.
I will go to any length to entertain you guys and get your votes!

I would post pictures of them, but we all know what happened the last time somebody did that in the contest submissions thread.
I will post the lyrics instead:

"Got The Turned Down Blues" by M.Arnold, Col.G

Drivin To Work
Pulled Up To The Pump
Start The Day Right
I Said, FILL HER ON UP!
Attendant Looked Down
And Shuffled About
You Won't Believe This Buddy
But WE JUST RAN OUT!

Chorus:
I Got The Turned Down Blues
I Got The Turned Down Blues
I Got The Turned Down Blues
And Baby, Do I feel Blue

Late To Work
Lookin For Gas
New Boss Fired Me
Threw Me Out On My Ass

Chorus:

Sped Up To The Bank
Just Around Four
Got Outa My Car
TELLER WAS LOCKIN THE DOOR!

Chorus:

Well Things Just Weren't
Goin My Way
Was Turning Into
A Rotten Day!
Went To See
My Good Friend Jeff
Sue Picked Up The Phone And Said
OH, HE JUST LEFT!
