What would you rather hear: bad indy protest rock, half-assed sedentary trip-hop, crummy latin-tinged lo-fi, dodgy electro-space folk or sloppy IDMental? Not that it would sound anything like the aforementioned styles. I don't do styles very well. I'm just feeling ambivalent.

i'd like to hear a trip-hoppish thingy from you

Well I've got a start on something but it's got a lyric and lopes along at about 70 BPM. I don't know if I can even get through the first verse in two minutes...

I'm not much of a rapper - more of a mumbler... But maybe I'll post it later when I get it near done.

Sounds very World Musicky. Reminds me of stuff that came out in the early/mid 80's, I used to quite like some of it (still do tbh!). The percussion is just right, and the organ is effective with the vox. The PanPipe(?) is hilarious (in a good way). I really liked this.

58% of a cup of tea, is it enough to have a safe drink???

thanks for the nice comment. the world music feel may be due to the 3/4 time sig and traditional chords progression?

cheers

trip-hop is not always something that needs rapping - just use your falseto voice and sing like a dark diva, with warmness, mystery and sensuality.

Yeah, right!

(PS: I have heard that in many languages two negatives may equal a positive, while in others it's either just plain wrong or still a negative, but "yeah, right" is one of the only examples in any language where two positives equal a negative! ...Just thought you'd like to know.

I had heard that there was a Philosophy Lecture from the University of Ohio which made the double positive thing famous about 10 years ago! However a google has suggested that it was Columbia, MIT, New York... Urbane Myth or weel twooth?

ANYWAY:
Whatever you go for, try to follow the rules for arranging you suggested a month or two back. I'd be interested to see how it goes!

DP...

I noticed your CoT scoring systems produces very acurate numbers! 48%,52%,58%,42%,85%.

. Pretty amazing!, is there a system?...... I have problems scoring songs from 1-5... let alone -100 and 100!

I heard the story was true but it was a linguistics lecture. The man who said it was Sidney Morgenbesser who died recently - and I heard the story related in an interview with one of his friends on the radio.

You mean this crap? I did that for the ol' sci-fi thing and I didn't win big so I'm not sure what the merits were.

I do actually follow those rules all the time but my usual fare just doesn't support much layering or orchestrating.

Well I can do it. You™. See? I don't know how you do it exactly on the PC because I did it initially on a Mac. It's simply Option-2 or something. Oh here it is: ALT+0153. Jeez, that's a lot of keys to press to make a dumb symbol.

I'm really in touch with my emotions.

easiest was is to open word/etc, insert a symbol, select 'TM' from the ASCII chart, copy to clipboard, paste where needed!

I'm on linux... so ... no alt thingy, or character map...

Cut and paste should work... I'm guessing it's a browser thing (opera)...

Hmmmm gives me an idea...
