december contest ... RULES and SUBMISSIONS

[Pi_314]

With a blast from the past comes the name Love. You guessed it
CHRISTIE LOVE !

Yes! directly from the womb of this darling unorthodox undercover cop.


Comes the likes of a dashing defying daredevil of a super cop, with the fortitude to get down-n-dirty when the sugar turns to salt.

Whether you're a hardened criminal, or a streetwalking whore .-. Everybody aims to ......
GET GRITTY LOVE
And Gritty aims to please one way or another.



The proud parents

[Patrick9]

From the creators of 'Generic Cop Show' comes...

One Good Cop

An innovative, mould-breaking new police drama.

Jack Blunt is one good cop. He's a headstrong rebel with no time for rules*. But when the chips are down, he'll finger the perp.

* except his own**

If you live in the US, the longest running news show is 60 minutes. In depth stories that take an hour to cover.

Well we can't have that in todays cut-edit MTV world, so a new show is required.

All the news you need to know in . . .

Sixty Seconds

Wait, isn't that CNN

Host: Tracktion 2

VSTi used:
Several instances of RMIV with different kits
MDA JX10 (Bass)
SampleTank SE (Udu Drum)
sfz (tubular bell soundfont)

VST used:
Several instances of Bionic Delay
Classic comp, autofilter, reverb
mda leslie on the lead guitar
freeverb too on the lead guitar
splonki to chop up the bell sound

Internal Tracktion effects used:
4 band parametric used pretty much as a lowpass filter(to tame the chop discontinuities from splonkin on the bell)
Mackie Final Mix on CD mastering preset

Actual real instruments used:
my MIM fat strat, on neck/middle pickup into my V-AMP2 on clean amp setting, tuned to DADAAD played with open D chord shape for pad track.
AA strings played as single melody line - chorus is natural effect from those two strings - then mangled some with the leslie to make it perhaps more interesting.

Cop shows and cartoons about animals who solve crimes and are in bands were big in the 1960s. Also big were shows about ghosts and witches. D-list animation studio Banarama/Hibernia thought they'd do the industry one better and create a hip show for kids about a dead monkey who plays the marimba and solves crimes. They even got Charles Mingus' brother Billy Mingus to write and perform the theme song (with out of work lounge act Robbie "The Throat" Vertulli on vocals).

The creepy plot premise proved too much for even the rather permissive sensibilities of the baby boomers and after the pilot, however and perhaps also due to the suspcious and untimely drug-related death of lead animator "Trippin'" Joe Bostowiz, no episodes were produced after the pilot (of which no known copies are believed to exist).

Only a single recording of the theme song lived on. And here is:

"Ghost Monkey Cop! (Who Also Plays the Marimba)"

[plunge]

Haven't entered one of these for a long time.

Downbeat is a hip new show about a dj who is an undercover cop.

It's pretty danceable.

Reason and Sampletank. And my new/old '74 Fender Rhodes.

while most everyone else here has been designing their own ideas for TV shows to go with this month's contest, I went and did a little, uh, detective work in finding the long-lost theme song to the obscure but fondly remembered by most people who have seen it edgy late seventies TV cop show, the one, the only, Kresky!.

A show which, though stuck on the tiny and ratings-starved US network channel UBC, has had much of an impact on the young minds who watched that would inspire them to grow up when they grew up to become TV writers and producers. Shows like Undercover DJ, Girl Cop!, and MacGarrigle, plus movie franchises like the McBain series, all owe a debt to Kresky and the actor who portrayed him, Terrence Michael Matterly.


Though not as monumentally fantastic as, let's say, Professor Peter Schikele finding a lost PDQ Bach cantata under some old coffee grounds in a Vienna back alley, it is good news for those of you who remember the show and its funky, funky theme song, which was a minor hit in its extended version on West Coast radio and in discos around the country.

Kresky Theme Song

Host Used: Cubase SE on Power Mac G4 MDD
Drums - Groove Agent 2 demo
Bass - Dreibelbass through Johnson J-Station
Electric piano - NI FM7

"Quark Lepton will appear in about 10 years time, when the world needs him.
Quark is a private special agent. He's also a mutated oversize sub-atomic particle.
He works for whomever will pay him, whether government or outcast group. Whatever the task, when no one else can do the job - Quark Lepton can."

Think A-Team meets The Rockford Files meets Magnum PI meets 007 all on a holiday at Dungeness Power Station on an Impossible: Mission.

"Quark did it just in time... Due to problems with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, he wasn't able to do it in space as well.."

This theme features krakli's new machine StringZ underneath the 5/4 flute section

Wide Open Spaces is a groundbreaking new reality show featuring New Yorkers who dream about living in the Mid-West. They are tired of skyscrapers, Brooklyn Bridge, and expensive cheeseburgers, so they are going back to basics in an attempt to live like the "real people" who dare to live *west* of Chicago (rough living - I have tried it).

And, of course, they are dreaming of...
