@AlexB Another tune in the classic rock mold, very nice chorus melody and understated guitar and piano parts. Nice simple groove to tap my foot along to, and the gently pulsing bass line rolls nicely along.
The structure maybe could do with some more variety, perhaps an instrumental section, but I really like the way the song lifts in the "I haven't found" vocal section.
Off-topic geekery:
I never thought I would become the kind of man who starts a microphone collection, but it seems I was a poor judge of my own character. And they do all actually sound different from each other, however they don't really help my singing...
One day I can dream of owning a U47.... And a Gibson J200 to go with it
@theconnactic that's one of my favourites of yours by quite a margin (along with the EDM sounding efforts you posted a long while back). Really digging that dark vibe and those long notes, it's edgy and interesting and atmospheric. The only bit I don't like is the shredding at the end - it doesn't seem to fit with what is an otherwise beautiful tune. Love the acoustic guitar interlude, and then the piercing lead that comes in over it - it's a great piece of music with a lot of originality to it - well done. You should explore this direction some more.
@JohnnyGoodyear A simple musical backdrop to a poignant story, the words are very well written - I like the way that only the second and fourth lines in each couplet rhyme, I might steal that trick.
The music might benefit from a little more variety and build-up, but at least the vocal increases in intensity at the end when you add the doubling. The last refrain is really good, very catchy and a nice contrast to the earlier verses both musically and thematically.
It's a little perplexing to see that you've started posting at the start of the month though, it shows the rest of us up a little. I preferred it when you were a reliable straggler.
I like that one very much Johnny Boy. It would make a great track in a Movie actually. Very relaxing. Nice one mate.
Thanks for the note/nod.
the song's music def. needs some, well, music. But I think that's largely/often true and I'm happy to have got the song out, as it were.
As regards the earlier part of the month, I have no idea what happened. Somewhere I must have nudged myself forward. I have been finding (brilliant though it is) that procrastinating til then end of the month also means I don't do much else as well because, well, can't be doing anything else, got that damn SOTMC to find....this new method is designed for me to now have several weeks to freely write any old rubbish. Alternately, I somehow managed to miss watching any of The West Wing when it was originally on and this Texas heat is making me think I should put aside my evenings to simply softening my head etc.
Very kind Mister Studs. Have been thinking about adding some visuals, but kind of hard to beat the real thing etc.
I like the way that only the second and fourth lines in each couplet rhyme, I might steal that trick.
To be honest, almost all of the time (if there's going to be a rhyme) I find this the best way. Seems to allow for the most 'story' while also keeping the ear happy enough.
To the songwriters among us (aint that us all?) here's a link to the New Yorker Radio hour. Pretty interesting interview with John Lewis, but with regard to song-writing a take on some aspects of the craft with Paul Simon who I think we're going to miss when he's gone as much as may take him for granted now...

uploaded an unfinished track - - but its not made on ios though. does that count? if no then i am prepared to be burned alive. yes. first public song i have posted anywhere ever. i feel like a hermit coming out of its cave tripping on its long beard.
Thanks for posting. For lunchtime. Cheers.
That's fine - as I posted on a previous thread, iOS is not a requirement. Ideally all tracks should be feature a ukulele and/or a kazoo, but we're not sticklers here.
@LostBoy85 After listening to your club track, my attempt at something similar this month has now been tossed into File 13. Shit....now where! Last years summer blockbuster "Moraira Sky" will always stay number 1 in my heart but I'm chuffed you've allowed us into your Ibiza zone to enjoy some disco deftness. Perfect music for a Tuesday torso rotation sesh. Sun out, your vibes pumping, go! Glad this was the single version though.......phew!
What do you mean, you wish you knew some more vocal tricks. Are you referring to effects cos you do not need any more magic in that department. The source is already perfect & true. Natural, real. I could see/hear Hue & Cry backing you on this & polishing your mic in the breaks.
An ultra smooth production. Like an ice rink before the doors open. Could there be some lightly scored blade marks on the surface? Possibly but then that's not the point of this dance floor filler. Fun, happiness, parties. Yeah, I get it. Glad you've dipped your toes into a different part of the Med this summer. Brave & inspiring. What next? Where next? Cannot wait until a spin of your genre wheel stops at indie.........Punk! This is very good, very neat & of course very danceable.
"The clubs packed out again." Always will be with crisp, moveable music like this Leo.
Great broody synth track, and I wouldn't guess Gadget had been used. Moody Bristolian cityscapes in a Massive Attack kinda style....
Wow very professional sounding, and don't beat yourself up on the vocals - they sound great.
Nice tune, well put together. As with Halftone's track I wouldn't have guessed the software used to create it.
Very nice, live the simple backing and the tone of the guitar is superb - love to know how you got that. Good lead playing too, definitely something I'd put on and jig about to.
Just a technical comment - I'd take the repating bass note down in the mix a bit - it's pushing hard to the front and making it difficult to pick out the voice and backing. Good song though - playing, singing, the whole vibe is a good un. I'd mix that bass note down a bit though, but the tunes are coming along nicely Captain.
These Gadget tracks are making me realise I should be doing more with it myself. Great track, nice underpiining from the bass and rhythm holding it together. I didn't get Kamata, but thinking I might treat myself after hearing this...
Really like this, has a bit of the post-punk early synth stuff I love - Throbbing Gristle/Coil and all that. Finish this off with some sinister vocals (@JohnnyGoodyear would be a perfect match) and you've got a cracking track. And resist the temptation to over produce the finished version - the rawness really works.

Some feedback:
@Halftone
I liked this one, I like how it builds, ebbs and flows. I'm not that wild on the sample, but it does add 'atmos'. Nice minor key feel throughout.
@LostBoy85
Odd one for me, I'm mindful of how formulaic this kind of thing has to be to fit into a very constrained /defined genre and it's not quite there, in my view, in terms of the production. The vocals are well done though. Perhaps developing a style as opposed to doing something in the 'style of' may be an avenue worth looking at. I have to say I will have to keep my thoughts on the lyrics to myself...
@AlexB
A pretty cool song and good vocal delivery, the instrumentation perhaps needs some work (in parts), regarding timing. Perhaps that's not so important as the song is the primary thing (in my view)
@theconnactic
An ambitious effort indeed. I have to say, it sounds like you are pushing your technical limits regarding some of the guitar solo stuff (which can be a good thing). The dead stop to the drums at 1:00 is a tad sudden and the structure is a tad incoherent, to these ears. Imaginative effort though.
@JohnnyGoodyear
Evocative as ever, I'm wondering is the lyrical side of things your primary thing and the musical side the more secondary - as an accompaniment for your lyrics ? Not being a 'songwriter' myself, I'm curious.
@perestroika
Pretty good first attempt, I'd say. Certainly has a certain charm.
@Snekula
Excellent video and a good track. I'm not usually that keen on the 'glitch aesthetic' side of things, but this is well done.
@Igneous1 That's a pretty impressive and creative use of mostly one synth, and some of the patches sound really cool. There's a cold digital feel to Kamata, but in the right hands that can yield some really nice sounds.
The track has your distinctive short jazzy-sounding phrases all over it, but the choice of sounds and synth patches gives it a completely different feel, more contemporary and interesting to my ears. I'm trying to figure out what it is in your melodies that makes them sound the way they do: is it the choice of scale? They really have the feel of 60s or 70s Fusion about them.

Thank you, @richardyot!
Thank you, @MonzoPro! For the guitar sound, I used a very cheap Washburn Lion (my Stratocaster had a broken string and I was lazy at the time) with a RAT, an ElectroHarmonix MemoryMan delay, plugged in the Apogee One using OverLoudTHM (Auria's) for amp sim.
Thanks for the info - sounds superb
Thank you, @Igneous1! As for technique, it is a rather simple melody; the only tricky part to record was the fast picking scale at 2'11'', but then again it was an very short passage. If you want to listen to me really "pushing my technical limits", voilà:
There is a literary quality in your reviews, even this one (shorter than usual). Thank you very much, @JohnnyGoodyear. Yeah, it's kind of a Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde song. Glad that you noticed, and that you liked!
Shhh. @richardyot lured me in with the promise that all I'd have to do was play that Kazoo but one thing's led to another. My main instrument has always been the pencil, everything after that is noisy window-dressing. The only problem is I've found I enjoy the fiddling about with sounds more than the pouring blood on to the page, so the music has become something of a procrastinatory enabler.
Truth is, if I go back a thousand years, I was used to writing lyrics, vocal lines, singing them, poncing about up front etc., while, you know, musicians, figured out the music bit of what I'd brought them. Old story. Musically today I'm not looking for anything more than the 'feel' of the song, if I can get that mostly right I'm pretty happy.
Just back from the Costa del Sol so a little bit late posting this month but in true Blue Peter spirit here is one we prepared earlier. More guitar and organ music from us, this time featuring my good lady wife on keyboards as well as vocals. I will try and catch up with my feedback over the next week or so but it's back to work tomorrow
@theconnactic Hey Dimitri,this is one of my faves of yours man.I just love the dynamic of the soft with that crazy lead and man,when you go off in the second half,wow! I got chills mate!! 3 mins is a great length aswell,it makes it easier imo for people to hit replay...which il be doing.
Excellent work mate!

First ideas done entirely on iOS, with cubasis.
Not really very good but hey I am finding my way through the windy road of figuring out the iPad thing. Not the best wok flow but enjoying it anyways.
I am planning on sampling lots of this and doing more to it.
Cheers
Thank you so very much!!
That's certainly pretty nifty - not quite in 'Malmsteen territory', but definitely 'surf speed'. It reminded me of the Pixies Planet of Sound era on speed ! I take it you've heard 'Sails of Charon' by Scorpions ?
No, I didn't, but I'll surely do, @Igneous1!
