    Thanks for the kind words!
    The secret to the growl is working from the chest and back of the throat. I recorded the vocal at whisper level at 3am with the missus fast asleep beside me.
    Edit: Also, liberal doses of Squashit.

    Sounds like cough linctus cordial....

    Or Chuck Berry's preferred after dinner cocktail...

    @JeffChasteen hey dude,wow! Yeah this is a wild one for sure:D its not my usual barrel of biscuits mate but I can tell you had fun with it.I struggled to pick out what was being said and I think Richards right about the dynamics with the guitar (though I'm a fine one to talk)
    I think it's always fun to try stuff you wouldn't normally do...haha! I would call this song the

    Here's goes then.

    (Your first track) Love the angelic/harmonic sounds that come in after 0.30, very nice, and very much my cup of tea. After about 1.20 it seems to drift a bit until picking up again a minute later. Very melodic, great rhythm and production as always, but feel that middle section minute needs something extra. Love those lead sounds though.

    @LostBoy85 said:

    Cool song construction, very poppy, and great instrumentation. Inspires me to whip my uke out some time oo er missus.

    This forum has been a lot of help to me recently, so I guess I should throw my hat in the ring here for the first time...

    Great to hear some politics in a SOTM tune - great late 80's/early 90's synth octave stuff going on too. Could sound more deranged IMHO...great tune, and love the synth work. Clean and crisp.

    @gburks said:
    Coincidentally, I performed it on ukulele, so I think this qualifies for the ukulele walkman challenge :)

    Sorry to hear of your loss - lost my dad to cancer too a long time back. Great track, reminded me of They Might Be Giants for some reason...great to see a video too. And real instruments.

    Starting a side project called "Infinity Flames", geared toward a harder, moodier sound yet retaining some atmospheres. Drawing from my original influences from Detroit and euro techno from back in the day

    Nice techno track, strong beats and a sci-fi edge to it - good driving music and tight sounds. Accomplished.

    @NoiseHorse said:
    Okay, here's a quickly thrown together mindless piece. Used Patterning and Fugue Mahine and other stuff. No singing, no melody, no destination, just jamming I guess.

    I like a good jam, in fact nearly all of my stuff on here starts out that way. Has a nice vibe and atmosphere, uplifting and breezy, would get my washing dry in no time. Could probably benefit from a bit of breathing space in the middle, but then jams are all about capturing the moment.

    Here's my entry for this month. As usual, created entirely in Gadget, mastered on the desktop - Har-bal, FLStudio, Loudmax etc.

    Strong rhythm underpinning an otherwise unpredictable melody line. Nicely produced - yeah I'd e happy to have this on while I'm working...

    @richardyot said:
    My entry for this month. It's more experimental than usual, and although I don't think it's necessarily all that successful there's some ideas in there that I might develop more in the future. I don't think it's a great song, but it has been a good way to play with some new ideas.

    I'm not as struck on this one as your previous songs, which tend to remind me of the Canterbury scene songsters (Kevin Ayers, Robert Wyatt etc.). I'll always applaud experimentation, but I'm a bit put off by the vocals - I know you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism so I'm sure you'll take this as honest feedback. The recording and playing itself though is top notch, just the vocal tune not quite to my taste.

    @mrufino1 said:
    Ok, I'll admit right off that I'm cheating slightly... This was a song of the month but it was a month about 7 years ago. Never saw the light of day though. My shutterwax partner Jeff wrote this song to test out his korg digital studio that he had just purchased. I liked it and we redid his original recording until we arrived at this. I'm playing bass, (on his 70's Ibanez artist bass that weighs 13 pounds) and I engineered and co-produced, everything else is Jeff.

    Made me think of Frank Zappa for some reason - could be the lyrics, and They Might Be Giants again for the vocals. Good bass playing!

    @JeffChasteen said:
    I give you my word that I will provide comments for all submissions at the end of the month. Promise.

    Oh yeah, demonic gut sounds to make my liver tremble. Difficult to pull this sort of thing off (I know I've tried) but this has got several balls, and hair where it shouldn't grow.

    Another punk tune for this month ( Just ) Ideally I would have liked an intro but this mess is long enough.

    Cracking stuff, and more complex than previous entries. I like it, bringing Crass more to mind thatn Inner City Unity (though the guitars have an ICU feel). Do you listen to much Sleaford Mods?

    Late to the party, this month has been busy. I finished this up at the beginning of the month and wanted to contribute something else, but haven't had the time. It's another iOS/OSX hybrid track: if you listen closely I think you can hear the click track from GarageBand iOS bouncing around on the acoustic guitar track:

    https://m.soundcloud.com/bvsmv/the-lights-go-passing-by

    GarageBand iOS on iPhone, main melody was Xynthesizer, iMaschine for drums, GarageBand pads and bass, ikaosillator for some flourishes, and some acoustic and electric guitar.

    Comments are coming as usual. Happy thanksgiving for all of you in the states.

    @BvsMV really sweet. Great vibe and mix. Love the guitars!

  • AlterEgo_UKAlterEgo_UK

    @rkmonkey I like it. It is a bit rough and ready but that is part of the charm. It's like a blend of Chuck Berry and 60s garage rock :)

  • BluepunkBluepunk

    @BvsMV Beautiful. One minute I was sat on my sofa pressing play, the next I sprouted white wings & gently flew off. I landed softly on a perch way above London Town. As I peered downwards, time sped up & a whole 24 hours was crammed into the three & a half minutes of your very well constructed & played tune.

    The blurred car headlights from thousands of commuters were like a colony of ants, nipping in & out of streets going on their journeys to find something new to investigate. Your song was the only sound I heard amongst the chaos, hustle & bustle of daily City life.
    As long as your tune was on repeat, it would remain that way. Thanks for the break sir.

  • BluepunkBluepunk

    @rkmonkey oh yeah! Nice bit of ruck n roll to delight the masses. Your guitaring is marvellous & certainly dirty enough to satisfy my distortion loving lug 'oles. Catchy song with a great riff that propels your track along to one of those endings that I love. Kerrunch!

    Well done on singing those high, ball splitting notes without a murmur of hesitation from your voice. I get the reference to Chuck Berry & garage bands that @AlterEgo_UK commented on. I'd like to add a third component to that list if I may. Any of the "pub rock" bands from the mid 70's. Good ol' barn stormin' rock with a pint of Forest Brown Ale for company. Can I have a chaser as well please!! :wink:

  • AlterEgo_UKAlterEgo_UK

    @BvsMV Good driving beat with dreamy electronic sounds. Nice for listening to on a bus when it is dark and rainy outside or just generally watching the world go by :)

    Thanks. Glad to get on the board for the month.

  • richardyotrichardyot

    @rkmonkey a nice rough and ready blues, a lot of energy and variation in the track. Some nice guitar playing.

    I think that maybe the vocals are mixed a little too high, and also the vocals would probably benefit from being practiced more before you do the recording - I know from my own experience that if I sing the song through as many times as possible before recording the vocals the results are much better. So now I've taken to practicing the song with an acoustic guitar several times a day for a couple of weeks before laying down the vocal track. It just takes time for the pitch to settle, especially with new material. You can clearly sing, so I think a little more practice would really lift your voice and give much better results.

    Thanks for the feedback and advice. SOTM has me, at least, thinking about songs and ideas. They are early and rough versions for sure. Thanks again for starting this thread and the encouragement.

    Thanks! That was definitely the vibe I was going for the title came as I was listening to a mix really early going to work.

    Wow! I really appreciate that. I work in a downtown area, which is pretty mild, but you can get a nice view from the freeway. That's totally what I was envisioning with this track. Glad you liked it.

    Thank you! My guitar playing leaves much to be desired, so I appreciate that!

  • richardyotrichardyot

    @BvsMV sorry I seemed to have missed your track, just caught it now. It's a nice piece of downtempo elecronica, I like the guitar when it comes is, it gives a nice contrast with the other elements. I also like the fact that the guitar is more textural than musical, it's cool. It's a pretty subtle piece, but with lots of elements and textures.

    @Bluepunk Hey man,Sooo...the "difficult second album" or single in this case.Well it's another great entry imo.Nice work with the vocal levels mate.I love the lyrics.Cheery as always!!;) like a musical Care Bear!!:D the breakdown was good and the drums were excellent.Keep up the good work man.

  • LostBoy85LostBoy85

    @BvsMV Hey man,a nice subtle chill out track.I really like your stuff.My only critique would be that I found some of the squeaky bits especially in the first minute quite jarring/distracting and it did for me kill some of the chill.Otherwise another great effort mate:)

  • LostBoy85LostBoy85

    @rkmonkey hey man,cool song,good lyrics,GREAT guitar playing,nice melody,but the vocals a bit too loud on this one and I felt the drums were a bit too quiet.

    If you just enjoy writing songs and getting them out here then of course that's fine and you're doing a great job of it mate:) but if you're interested in "polishing" your songs a bit more then may I suggest spending a bit more time attacking the mix.(I still have loads to learn on this) I just feel that a few little tweaks here and there would really take your songs to another level.I have found http://therecordingrevolution.com really useful for loads of free mixing tips.

    Keep 'em comin man!:D

  • rkmonkeyrkmonkey

    @LostBoy85 thanks as always. I appreciate the guidance and suggestions. I am forcing a bit just to get something out and do want to work on the polish part at some point. Will check out the link.

  • JohnnyGoodyearJohnnyGoodyear

    @BvsMV I feared that @bluepunk's hyper-lyrical review (nicely done Mister Punk) had my expectations set unreasonably high, especially as I am a tremendous tart for a good dose of mellow wist, but no, lovely stuff. Always interested in drums/beats in ambient-ish work, as I find that tricky to figure myself, but you do an excellent job here. Just enough, not too much. I can almost hear this as a long outro to some unwritten late-period Police tune. Keep up the work etc.

    Another punk tune for this month ( Just ) Ideally I would have liked an intro but this mess is long enough. Sopping wet flags and balloons are hanging from the front door, to celebrate me managing a few more chords and using the bottom two strings of guitarism for the first time. Look out Billy Duffy.

    Apps used: Guitarism, Slash amp, ifretless bass & Finger banging AM drums in Cubasis

    You, sir, were born a slight sliver out of your time.

    Loved the terracotta pot to Royal Doulton culture list. Great lyrics, put me in mind of JC Clarke, but, you know, so fucking what?

    Also liked the middle piece that floated off (relatively). Can't give the whole thing higher praise than it had me drifting back to Catford (which I'm absolutely certain isn't the same now as it was then, or maybe it is, surely not everywhere in London has been gentrified...).

  • richardyotrichardyot

    Catford's still a dump.

    That's probably a good sign. I've found the ones I'm least sure of go down better than the ones I'm pleased with. Or I might just be saying that to persuade you to post it.
