Composition Challenge #7 - ' Tripped out bluesy psychedelic weirdness'

hobbio

Aah, but when will you be putting the "psychedelic" in?

steamabacus

It's hard to keep the psychedelic bits out with me.


Also, I've just realised I've written a thirteen bar blues!

hobbio

Nothing wrong with that, not many of the old masters stuck to 12 bars rigidly back in the day

I'm enjoying this one. I have some weird tripped-out vocal ideas (courtesy of Ralph Richardson and Fiona Fullerton, no less!) and it's sounding very  .... er ... interesting. I'm not sure if it's terrifying or strangely erotic? Or both??

Erotica sounds good

I've written something really trippy that im considering entering for this but its like a minuite and half too long  best get editing i suppose/.

....recorded something on Sunday which after a bit of editing I quite liked.  Listened to it on Monday and hated it.
Did something today and it's far to widdly and not nearly freaky enough.... might enter it anyway or have another go at the weekend.  Seem to be spending to much time trying to learn how to record multi tracks and edit them.

If we are freaking out on this, how are we defining a blues track?

If you are freaking out then you've got the psychedelic weirdness part sorted and don't need to worry about the blues bit.

I'm seriously stumped on this one ..

hobbio

Yeah, me too. Nothing I've done so far seems right now.

That's because its not the due date for sending something in yet. All will be fine when there are only three hours left till entry is closed

Me too, anything I've tried so far sounds like BB King with a fuzz pedal

That can work!  Look up the Muddy Waters album "Electric Mud".  Recorded in the 60's, his record company convinced him to use fuzz and wah etc....If you can get a copy of the vinyl record the picture inside the gatefold is worth  the price of admission.

This one?

Done some Googling and found a wacky US band for inspiration ... ;-)

daveww

Just sent mine in.  Made me cringe but sent it before I changed my mind.  Not nearly psychedelic enough.  I'm sure everyone elses will be more orginal and can't wait to hear them :-)
