3 x 1


This month's theme asks you to create up to 3, 1 minute compositions

Yes, that's right, this month you are allowed to create multiple submissions. Up to 3 of them! However not one of them can go over a minute

You may use any musical genre.

To make it easy for everyone, please place all of your submissions into a single post. For this contest I will allow people to edit thier post, but only to add a composition

You may post your first submission on one day, and then the next submission(s) at a later time

Oh yeah, when it comes time to vote, you will be allowed to vote for all three of a persons entries if you choose to do so. Or said another way, each entry can be voted for. Final tally will be for the person (not composition) with the most votes



Submissions MUST follow these rules:

1 - encoded in either .mp3 (192kbps or lower if fixed rate ... average of 192kbps or lower if VBR) or .ogg format (quality level 6.00 or lower)

2 - A STRICT MAXIMUM of one minute in length. If it shows up as 1:01 in my player, it's gettin the boot!

3 - entered into the contest by posting a DIRECT LINK in this RULES & SUBMISSIONS thread (use the GOSSIP thread for everything else). If you cant provide a direct link, please contact one of the following people listed below, they will be happy to help you out. These people provide free hosting for the purpose of this contest only! They are not a hosting service. When contacting these people, please take the effort to understand the terms and conditions they provide).

Providers:
1 - kovacs
2 - knockman
3 - scoops
4 - watto



In Addition...

4 - Submitted before 11:59 PM Saturday, October 24th, 2009

5 - Your entry(s) must be composed specifically for this contest

6 - Your entry(s) must be created using at least some audio plugins, virtual synths, or software studio

7 - your entry(s) should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (ie "0910_artistname_tracktitle.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please, do not use spaces and special charaters in the filename. I will be booting for improperly tagged comps (this will not be a DQ, just a little reminder that you din't tag your comp correctly). Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the tag.

8 - IF you are going to tag your mp3, the artist name is to be the same as your KVR name, and the title tag is to be the name of your tune(help us out, okay? it's easier to sift through labelled entries)

9 - One person can participate either with up to 3 entries, 3entries and 3 collaborative efforts or six collaborative efforts.

10 - No resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. PM me for permission!

11 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.

12 - Voting (members must have at least 20 posts to vote ... although contest entrants are exempt from this ruling) will run from the submission deadline until 11:59 PM Saturday, October 31st - anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified - any entrants not voting will also be
disqualified

The first of my songs is a bit dedicated to Offthewall.
He wanted to hear me play everything myself : done. Except the vocals, that aren't obviously mine. :wink:
1 big problem : I can't remember who's singing - as soon as I find it out again, I'll report the missing info. 8) :help: :oops:

Link to the hot spot :

Here comes number 2, a very old song of mine. I've made it around '73/'74 on an old tape recorder with a sound-on-sound ( :lol: ) gadget and with a repaired classical guitar (it was missing it's head when I bought it super-cheap :wink:).
Now I have better tools. VERY EXCEPTIONAL : I do the singing myself ! :roll:
The lyrics have a deep existentialistic back ground. :hihi:

I'm closing my musical chapter with the sweet voice of Amelia J. and my ugly presence. :hihi:
BTW, I didn't fill up the whole minute this time, 'cose there's already enough beauty in it. 8)
It's a song about truth and here's the link :

OK, my first one is a throwaway - just to see if I can still do this. Played straight at speed - no editing, no multitrack (no good?). Playing this sort of stuff at the local on Tuesdays & Thursdays many moons ago paid for my Saturdays :)

Oh Dear (what can the matter be)

Well, here's my number 2 - quite different really.

A Bicycle Ride In The Park

And now for number 3 - different again :)

It wasn't me! (well, actually, it probably was) - apparently no longer an 'elderly', now a 'senior'! Is that promotion?

This little flat lizard
down here at the footpath
tried to traverse
but it got worse

wanted to show it to my son
but its life it was all gone
where can he see it vividly?

no idea

Bee Suite #1, Beeginnings


01-Embryo
Image
The queen bee lays an egg in a cell of the honeycomb. The egg of the honeybee is cylindrical, about 1.6 mm long and 0.4 mm in diameter. When first laid, it stands vertically, on the second day it bends over, on the third day it lays on its side. On the fourth day it hatches into a white legless larva.

Lyrics:
Laid inside a cell of gold
within their walls so stable.
Another Apis Mellifera on the way.

I'm bending over,
and moving sideways.
A brewing object, I'm hidden away.

Shut off beside the rhythm of the day.
Above me others plod away.

Oh in four days time will I be
amid another stage
I brood!
Discover another delight







02-Larva
Image
The larva lies coiled on the bottom of the cell. It comprises a head, thoracic and abdominal segments. The larva eats, grows bigger and sheds its skin 5 times between hatching and emerging.
During the first three days the larva is fed by the nurse bees on a diet of royal jelly, a protein-rich whitish milky fluid, produced from the head glands of worker bees. After the third day, the larva is fed beebread, a mixture of honey and pollen prepared by worker bees. Nine days after hatching, the curled-up larva is fully-grown, and can't feed any more. At this stage the cell is sealed over with a porous covering of wax and pollen, and starts to change into a pupa.

Lyrics:
I'm sippin on the richness you bring me
Comes heaven on the wings of flight

I'm sippin on the feast you're bringin
your face it summons thoughts of delight

I'm eating on your feast of bee bread
Your eyes such a lovely sight

I'm sitting on the ridge of changes
oh-oh buzz it's song delight

Yeah I'm just sated
growing full and fitting it tight
Oh Yeah I am sated
so plug my pod and seal it up tight

But crawl on down and kiss me goodnight







03-Pupa
Image
This is the non-feeding stage, during which the larva is transformed into an adult. On the 10th day, the larva spins a cocoon (protective covering) for itself and becomes a pupa. During pupation, gradually the adult body structures forms. First the head and the thorax of the pupa develop and change colour followed by the abdomen, and finally the wings develop before emergence. Once the pupa has transformed into an adult, it is ready to emerge.

Lyrics:
Forming eyes, growing out
all my parts made by design.
As it happens, I am change.
From germ comes all defined

Becoming something, more ornate
with torso, legs,and eyes
I'm now something from mere nothing
a bee full grown inside

Chewing off my cap through the night
My freedom not far from sight.
emerging on the break of day
Linking the chain I work straightaway

First one - Lovesong

Ideas for another 2 but I don't know if I'll get time.

Lovesong

I'd like to sing you a love song
but I can't sing.
I'd like to play you a sweet melody
But my guitar broke a string.
I'd like to write you a sonnet
But my pen has run dry.
I'd like to tell you I love you
but I'm too shy, baby, I'm too shy.


Number 2

Hawaiian Jump

I tried to play this fast enough to fit 2 times through but my guitar started to smoke so ... this is short and sweet. :)


Number 3

Gobi Gallop


Phew - made it!

Ouroboros:
http://www.4shared.com/file/139745561/2 ... boros.html

Tezcatlipoca:
http://www.4shared.com/file/139745500/1 ... ipoca.html

Qetzalcoatl:
http://www.4shared.com/file/139745625/4 ... coatl.html

Ouroboros was made with 3 different AcmeBarGig amp heads. It has something like 4 parts played in 'unison.'

Tezcatlipoca was made with the Poulin Hybrit.

Qetzalcoatl was made with Green Machine; but it doesn't do the amplifier complete justice.

Apologies if editing this post gets me disqualified, but the naming wasn't within contest guidelines; so the naming has been fixed and the links updated to reflect that.
