Three days until this one ends. To all the hundreds not yet ready to post their entry, this is just a reminder that this one's almost in the can! Lets's go.

​

Pfiou, just in time. It's nothing like i had planned or anticipated, did it all today and had no time for polish. Like an idiot i literally spent hours trying to do the pluck on the keyboard without quantizing to try and alternate between swing and not swing.... Too hard! i still had to quantize in the end...
Had originally planned to do a heavy bassy track, but lost myself with the keyboard and the knobs again doing some melody and drone effects... Anyway, for a weirdly funny picture, a weirdly funny track !



I'll listen to all the tracks when i can take the time tmr !

 

@aschnt .. Pow, pow...your snare kick combination punch knocked me out, your snare certainly doesn't suck. Another great composition, the melody to me describes an unknown danger lurking just out of sight is threatening. The little bending lead a plea for help in my imagination. I'm always jealous of your mixes, they give me the opportunity to distinguish every element, nuance and I never need to squint my ears! Great job, Brother .

 

.

For me it's usually not about the mix and more the composition! You're composition and creativity shine in your song.

 

@Aidene hahaha nice one, story short as a punch, nothing short of a ko

@Radio cool ambiance ! Never watched any Mohamed Ali match (havn't match much boxing at all actually, except for the very disappoiting Tyson >< Paul fight). That's an interesting take. Music in suspens, there is tension fo sure. Punches are being thrown but very luckily we're safely sitting on our chair in the audience.

@SpyFx ✪ ✓ another SpyFx cinema experience ! For this is a new MadMax in the making? Question is not if the nose will blood, but how much blood will come out of it.

@Grape Ape this reminds me about the fun of improvising, hitting notes, looping and layering freely. For this one, you hit that nice fat joint and get your hands explore and please the ears ! I love the way you interpreted the picture.

@macros mk2 this Oto Boom sounds very very nice. We can really feel the analog warmth in brings. Other than that both tracks are nice. Really like the industrial sounds of the first one and the phat bass, powerful it is !! And the second one is well put together. We can hear you're having fun. Very hot, slightly fractured masters, yet untamed this Oto fella is, but i dig it, it's part of the aestetic ! Goog job Parappa :p

@capitan crunch there is something flying by, circling around the head. Is this Aidene's mosquito who managed to rise from the dead? Really cool track, but man the lowest note of your bassline hits hard ! Another nice storyteller ! :D

@Lois Lane beautiful hommage, it sounds excellent, very pro. I love the "traditional" feeling of the first one, the appetizer. It's a bit of a mix of the sadness in tones middle-east music has, translated with some extreme-east timber. And for the main dish, excellent stereo feeling with your dual recording, nice sounding guitars but the microphone really helps bringing the clarity of the sound too i think. The work with your voice is obviously very good, really dig the whispering parts too, it gives a nice contrast. Also love the hauntingly sounding interlude too ! I mean, it'd be shorter listing what i don't like : [].
Superbely sounding for a very touching, tingling the heart, storytelling. Love it

you're either way too kind or i'm way too harsh on myself. Truth probably lies somewhere in between ! Thank you brother . It was very fun ! Though last time i do this in this way, too stressful

 

Ah shitttt it's the 14th! Not sure when I'll get done with work tonight but I will do my best to remember to post non contest 8 when I get home!

 

No rush.

 

@Aidene great entry & very creative! thanks for sharing

@Grape Ape love the guitar riff & melodies throughout the track/guitar strumming chords near the end of your track,drums sound nice and funky!
I can imagine a movie scene where your composition plays when the guy in pic is training/preparing for a fight and at the end when your track changes at 2:17 the scene cuts to when he is home sitting on his bed or couch reflecting on his work/training
Awesome work thanks for sharing

@macros mk2 love the intro and drum programing,punchy drums! thanks for sharing

@capitan crunch punchy,crunchy bass & love the vocal production,great work and thanks for sharing

@Lois Lane : on epilogue : love the percussion and melody, great work
^ * maybe try layering/doubling the violin with a flute or shakuhachi
on The Rape Of Nanking : awesome work/production & love the vocal harmonies! ... can imagine this song playing on the end credits of an awesome movie
Thanks for sharing

@aschnt excellent work! love the drum programming & the swing of the beat
The intro arp melody & later the acid tb-303 melody is so great great outro too !
Thanks for sharing !

Very nice to see all of you being creative and having fun! take care!

 

@aschnt i missed your track in the melee of the post holiday busyness !
Very cool, had me head boppin' and groovin' along
