Pictures... No, I did'nt take the picture, found it on the Net. Just worked on the grading. I was looking for a Paris one, could'nt find something good enough. This one met my requirements, wet sidewalks at night, space and electric colours. While not what I call a fim score, the song was made, after some days of plodding, in a quite cinematic way. Pleased you pointed this out. Thanks for you attention and again, bravo for the Ucello Magico. Check out my latest song called Funkaboka

Red velvet and gin Reeaally groooovy. This is definitely music for chillin'! Very soft edges on all the sounds, like a big pillow to sink into. The loop sort of soaks right in to the soundscape. Nice addition of the acoustic guitar to the mix. That bass is great thoughout - you must be a player to come up with those well-placed licks? Woah. The middle has some stomp to it! Does this mean I have to put my drink down and dance? I dig the fuzzy drums. I don't know French Trip Hop from french fries, but this is a very cool track. Lots of interweaving parts and yet another completely unique take on the loop. French Trip Hop rules! (Did I just say that?) Check out my latest song called Loop It or Lose It 9

Bass Happy you noticed the bass. Spent hours on it. I took some lessons years ago, had a great Aria at the time, but I can't consider myself any good at it. I ended up with a combination of upwright jazz and fretless electric, laboriously looped and penned (strings as well). Thanks a lot, chikoppi, and, more over, for creating this gorgeous challenge. Had really a great time doing it. Check out my latest song called Funkaboka

a calm 3AM sorta tune... i like the mood a lot - i also recognized, just a little, some familiar loops, but that's OK - it all fit nicely together. very nice. and, yes, i started humming Prudence to myself at one point. (uggh. sorry, no reflection on your song, it's more a reflection of myself i suspect!) and the pic is perfect! is this really trip-hop? Check out my latest song called One For Me

Prudence trip-hop loop No, I don't think it is. You may refer to the Sub Genre topic I sparkled in the forum for more about this concern. I admit having mischievously choose the wrong box to save the surprise for the break. According to my daughter, it started as a trip hop thing, but, at the end of the day, it is rock, where I'm surely grounded. I realized at the end I was much closer to "Dear Prudence" than planned, and was more haunted by another famous song, underlined by the opening and the outro with the bass. Guess what it is ! A small hint : the title is a remote hommage to it. I thought it was really obvious, but, so far, nobody mentionned it. Loops are probably too much familiar to GB/MJs addicts. I'm still with the standard package, added with some free stuff found thanks to the site. I focused more on the climate and construction than originality. I don't think I'm good enough to fight on both fronts. Maybe, one day... Thanks for stopping by and comments, smokey ! Check out my latest song called Funkaboka

Great atmosphere and textures very patient piece -peace- nice voicing of the loop. I also decided to embrace it for what it is. Woah - the break - cool. Took me by surprise. Like the way you get back to the groove. Nice work! Check out my latest song called try not to think

For what it is Yeah, felt it was a good way to face the challenge. I kept the tempo but played in D to keep the guitar loop (real instrument) sounding nice. I find more exciting, when listening to all versions been made, to really hear the melody. Gives, in my opinion, all the sense and fun of this great game. Thanks for your words and support.

Vocals. I'd love to ! If anybody wants to give a try, I'm all your(a)s ! I still remember your "funky lump" made for the previous contest, one of the first song I downloaded when I turned around (one month, seems to me I'm here since a year !) Glad you liked it !

Nice images created What a nice fat piece with some subtle textures mixed with some harder edges. I think you put the tempo almost where I put the tempo of my entry. Good stuff. Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

Slow Yeah, the tempo was set on 80, first time for me. I enjoyed it a lot, all I did before was stupidly set on 120. Thanks for stopping by and kind words. Your previous comments on my mixes were so useful, thanks for that too. Check out my latest song called Funkaboka

I discovered fun with tempos a while ago and I now find that many of my "compositions" are at a tempos of 100 or less BPM. Maybe it is because I am getting older and am slowing down:-) Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

Welcome to Nowhereland, pal. You got the whole idea. As kinda cinematic song, it's obviously more and editing process (not surprisingly, I'm a former film editor) than a genuine musical creation. In this perspective, the break was answering to a dramatic composition. Seeing the reactions, seems it worked quite well. And, while you're here, you were damn right about electrorock. Entre les deux mon coeur balance. Salut l'ami ! PS : Next time, I may look for a picture of Grenoble. Can be very inspiring. Check out my latest song called Funkaboka

Excellent Moody and very good mix of elements. I especially like how the guitar break in the middle built up. |

You captured the feeling . . . of Buffalo Springfield's "There's Something Happening Here," without the lyrics. Good feeling. I like this tune a bunch Youra. You've got a knack for mixing live and electronic sounds, and you're getting better with each track. -g Check out my latest song called 08nov08

Buffalo Fields Yeap, you nailed it. I tried to play som guit over it, and went for the famous "harmonics", the twiiiing thing when you mute the string on 12th bar, (translation ?) like those played in that song. But I did'nt kept them, did'nt really add anything. Mostly, my main inspiration for the opening was "Walking On the Wild Side". Listen to the bass (A / D). I took off the high strings a the begining, was too obvious. Thanks a lot for your words, greg. Check out my latest song called Funkaboka

a perfect title... ...for this song...it evokes some kind of quiet reflection, perhaps loneliness..until the middle section, which sounds like a kind of urban reality check....uh oh, here I go typing to your piece.... a great soundtrack Youra!

Saluts les copains. Thanks a lot Peacepiano, Warmvox and alfapha. Yeah, Gainsbourg-like voice would be a brilliant idea... This contest has been such a thrill ! I have not yet listen to every challenger, but results are already beyond expectations. How I could imagine two month ago, GB3 first in hand, having not playing any music (or quite) for about 15 years, I will end up chatting with great worldwide people about a 6' song I wrote ? I'm unsure I will progress at the same rate in the upcoming month. I start tomorrow a new film which is going to take more an more space in my life. As always, music is going to be pushed aside, but be assured I will carry on listening my friends and others here, as much as I can, and provide, for bliss, indifference or distress, my unpredictable comments.

Nearly missed it! Wow, how did I miss this one???!! Excellent - especially the pick up towards the 2/3 mark - very cool bass, and yes the Springfield and Prudence influences are there, but generally this is just a very moody, thoughtful piece. Late night Sydney streets circa 1976 for me. I can hear Walter singing on this for sure. Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

Perfect marriage of song and song art. (Did you take that photo? It's lovely.) This has the moody, sometimes-hypnotic sometimes-restless energy of a city that ought to be asleep but really is not at all. I enjoyed the mix of sounds and moods you brought to this piece.
