  • I wonder if I could write an entire 3.5 minute song on one note?

     Spin it out to 4' 33" and you might have a winner, but you'd need to use less notes.

    It's not a competition.

    I'd rather play nothing at all than that

    Ask the Edge ...

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

  • I have an idea for a little 'project' for this incorporating something that's taking most of my musical energies at the moment. I don't want to say too much in case it doesn't come together but it'll be a bit different from my usual entries and could feature other musicians. Shock!

    Well, yesterday I finally managed to get a drummer and bass player together to try and get a real rhythm section recorded for this.

    Er ... lets just say I'm now trying to work out what to do instead. :#

  • So, this afternoon was spent recording my own DIY rhythm section ...



    There was also a whole lotta shaker action!

    It's good to see a real percussion instrument being used. These days I inhabit the virtual world, apart from guitar and the occasional bit of bass.
    It's not a competition.

  • Hopefully there'll be some more entries. Just two more days to go.

  • Sorry for the slightly grim challenge but I'm definitely not feeling the music love these days and I need people to bring it back for me :-)
    I can't remember if I added a picture with my track.  If not let me know, I'm sure I can find something inappropriate on short notice......

  • I've been working on it today. I shouild get it done in two days. Just a bit of leasd guitar to add and then the final mix.

    It's turned into a bit of an epic. :)

  • I recorded two one-take e-bow and lead guitar parts today and I have a track.



    Now I've got until midnight tomorrow to get it mixed which should be ok as I've been rough mixing as I go along as usual.

    I'd describe it as psychedelic krautrock in the vein of Popol Vuh. It has a proper title - 'Krauty Mark' is the title of the droney sketch by my friend Mark that I resurrected to spark off this idea. I'll document the long and twisted creation process (which stalled several times) at some point.
