    My entry for the month, lyrics in the spoiler:

    Out on the frontier
    You're Floating through the stratosphere
    Right here on the edge
    You're Dangling on the ledge

    Scanning the unknown
    You're Out here on your own
    Where the air is thin
    Where no-one’s ever been

    Living on the edge
    Between life and the mystery
    Right here on the edge
    Of nothing or of history

    Walking down the hall
    Are you two or ten feet tall?
    Who is it you see?
    Who have you got for company?

    Do they wish you well?
    And can you even tell?
    Up here on the peak
    It's not their praise you seek

    Living on the edge
    Between life and the mystery
    Right here on the edge
    Of nothing or of history

    Another great song from you sir, good lyric, nicely sung and a great arrangement too. As already said by many the bass sounds really good. The very start (1st note) sounds awkward...almost like it started just before we hear it if that makes sense. I'd also be tempted to up the drums a little, perhaps it is because the bass sounds so strong, but they sound a touch weak.

    @MonzoPro, great track. Love what you did rhythmically with it, that loping, offbeat feel. Not normally my cup of tea, but this was very cool. More like sonic textures, drifting from one to the other.

    Thanks Rick!

    Bit messy, too long, not a great vocal, but at least I finally, fiiinally got something done...
    I think it comes across better with the volume up. Hides a multitude of sins

    P

    Nice track and very strong for a first entry here.
    I totally get the League/17 comparisons...excellent use of the space and everything nicely balanced, really like the tone of your voice too.
    Can't wait to hear more of your stuff :)

    My entry for this month: Craving -

    Great stuff, love your handling of the axe as usual. Your usual near perfect level of production.
    Nice vid too :)

    Korg Gadget gangsters here B)

    Tried to develop the idea of ​​the last track, and in the end something new was born

    Nice ! Love the vocal interludes...nice sounds...I did feel the track didn't know where to go after a bit though, but then again, does it need to ?
    Snare could be a touch louder too.
    :)

    Hey folks. Creating sounds with IOS has opened a new range of exploration for me -- from an avid 70's rocker playing a mean radio dial, to a hippy percussionist at Rainbow Gatherings around the country, to using synths in ways I've never gone before. My selection for the month of April is something I called Kite Flying.

    Really like the groove and solid thud, I'm very partial to drum and percussion rhythm like this, also like the meandering synth line. Overall though the track sounds slightly muffled...it is lacking some sparkle in the top end. I look forward to what you do next :)

  • @LucidMusicInc said:
    Lots of good tracks here this month. Looks like the season of regeneration is well upon us :)

    Here's the first half of my next EP:

    https://lucidmusicinc.bandcamp.com/album/enigmatic

    By the rules of the club you are only allowed one entry :P so I went for the 2nd track Grace....Awesome production, sounds very well balanced, and made a very nice soundtrack for the sunshine which is out today here in Manchester for the first time in a while :)

  • @studs1966 said:
    This month is a bit of Gospel Soulful House, & a Disco Mix of the same vocal acapella (it's also just been signed up with Disco Balls Records)...... Enjoy!..... ;)

    I went for the Deep house mix.....sounds great as usual fella....I wanted more punch from the bass towards the end though :)

  • @rickwaugh said:
    @crouchie, wicked. Something about the way it started just sucked me right in, that bit of synth bouncing around. Vocal is brilliant, moving back and forth, the bit of harmony here and there. What a mix; percussion and bass just syncopated enough. Break is perfect, and I love the lyrics. I don’t know what you didn’t like, but you’re wrong. :D

    Thank u, v kind comments and v much appreciated

    Thanks Andy... yeah Grace is definitely the feature track. It's been remixed twice now and it will likely get another reboot before I can move on. Maybe May's sing of the month you'll see a more modern sounding electro version.

    Hi guys,

    I’m very excited about this one. It’s a collaboration with a friend of mine from a songwriting forum. He’s known as Jambrains. I wrote the melody,lyrics and he did all the music/production. It’s the first of hopefully many collabs together.

    All thoughts are very welcome please. B) :)

    Nice track, well structured, production is spot on, its not easy getting a good balance with that type of arrangement.

    I wasn't really expecting to do a song this month, but here we are. Maybe by putting it up here I can stop effing with it and finish my taxes. This started as an odd little experiment in the YouCompose app that I couldn't stop listening to for some reason. Then the boy and I were reading comic books and I had an epiphany. Super weird, but what else is new.

    I shall make all the universe wild and primitive!
    We must return to primitive living!
    We must end democracy and civilization forever!
    Civilization is a failure!

    We're out to get the money
    In all these New York banks
    And the jewels in every mansion
    We'll take over all the wealth in the city

    If we carry out our plans carefully
    It'll be a cinch!
    First, we'll terrorize the city
    When the cops are all out of the picture, we'll take over!

    I shall destroy all the civilized planets!
    My secret ray is working perfectly!
    When everybody has dissappearred into space
    We'll have the whole Earth, and all of its wealth, to ourselves!

    I shall make all the universe wild and primitive!
    We must return to primitive living!
    We must end democracy and civilization forever!
    Civilization is a failure!

    We're out to get the money
    In all these New York banks
    And the jewels in every mansion
    We'll take over all the wealth in the city!

    We're out to get the money
    In all these New York banks
    And the jewels in every mansion
    We'll take over all the wealth in the city!

    We're out to get the money
    In all these New York banks
    We're out to get the money
    In all these New York banks

    We're out to get the money
    In all these New York banks
    We're out to get the money
    We're out to get the money

    Cool track, love the sounds and the child vocal is awesome too. Great mix and arrangement. Kick sounds fine but the other drums are a tad low.
    :)

    Dunno if I should put this in as it was recorded in March and the title mentions February, but my concept of time is about two months backwards anyway so it's probably an apt reflection of where I am now, or something. I think this was a completely AUM based jam session, no doubt with lashing of my favourite new FX Discord:

    You're stuff always brings a smile to my face as I picture you sat there looking like a mad scientist with white lab coat, evil grin and wringing your hands together :D
    I actually enjoyed this one even more than usual, cannot put my finger on why, perhaps that Discord is either adding something you didn't have before or inspiring you differently in some way.

  • @vitocorleone123 said:
    One of my friends encouraged me to post this one, which I finished at the very end of March - it's not my personal favorite of the dozen or so songs I've crafted since getting back into it, but he said it's his, which just goes to show you never know what'll click for other people! I did have a lot of fun making it, though, and it sounds pretty decent turned up loud (the kick has plenty of ooomph down low) so I can dance around.

    Electronic instrumental. Produced 100% on my iPhone 8 in Gadget: Recife, Gladstone, Lisbon, Chicago, Milpitas, Monpellier, and Berlin. Mixed and mastered on my PC.

    I'll start making my way through the (almost intimidatingly good!) other submissions to comment, such as I'm able.

    Good effort ! Nice mix, well balanced. I did feel though that this tune doesn't really have an identity, it sounds like a lot of other stuff out there. I'd like to hear one of those tracks that IS among your favourites. Yes listen to others, but as an artist you also need to trust yourself ;)

    Fascinating! I don't listen to "a lot of stuff out there" and haven't intentionally tried sounding like ANY artist since I first started playing around a couple decades ago. I don't even intentionally pick a genre or subgenre. There's one and only one person I'm trying to satisfy with my music: me. If anyone else also can tolerate it... I'm lucky. I'll take your words as a huge compliment that I can make music that sounds like it could have a market! :D Any similarity to success is purely coincidental, and likely because I've been listening to dark electronica (industrial, goth, ebm, etc.) for a very long time. Now I'm curious to know what other music "out there" it sounds like!

    My typical process is to make a beat, add synths, create an interesting loop, extend it, add a chorus, add a middle part, repeat the chorus with more complexity, add outtro. I just go where the music takes me. Done. I'm also just using KORG right now, which could sound familiar. Other music, other artists, never enter my process. So, I do 100% trust myself, but I'm still fascinated by your comment. On one hand I kinda think I've succeeded in one measure, on the other, no one likes to be called generic. Heh. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

    I wasn't suggesting you were copying, or trying to be like anyone else, or saying it was generic...what I meant was that if I heard that tune among a bunch of others it would have blended in with them and not stood out. This is what I meant by it not having an identity.

    When you posted you said this wasn't one of YOUR personal favourites..it was one of your friends favourites...I am interested in hearing one of YOUR favourites to see if that has something about it that stands out and sets it apart, that is what I meant by trust yourself. :)

  • @MonzoPro

    This one is almost chill-out, I really like it, it's got all the weird sounds we've come to expect from you but it's also got a lovely laid-back vibe that makes it really pleasant to listen to. The weirdness keeps it interesting and gives it a nice edge, but it's also approachable. Great job.

    Ah. Got it.

    I wasn't taking your feedback negatively or being snarky - it can be hard to tell online so I like to make sure I say that. I really value the feedback from anyone that takes any time to listen to anything I've made (again, since usually I'm my only audience). I've been thinking and did remember one track I've heard long ago that had something sounding like a flute in a beat driven song (ABBA's "Man After Midnight").

    It's still kind of an accomplishment in my mind for a total home hobbyist to have a track that blends in rather than sticks out as something awful B)

    It's not necessarily the detail, it's the overall feeling I get when listening to something. There was nothing wrong with the arrangement or the mix, it just didn't hit me.

    Cheers Richard! I seem to be getting a lot of plays and follwers on my SC account, so I think it's taming my output a tad.

    My entry for the month, lyrics in the spoiler:

    I think you've got this song right where you want it. Always a crit to be had, though...

    For a downtempo song, the start strikes me as abrupt. I like when slow songs ease you in with fewer instruments at the start, or fade in like you're walking into a large hall. It can help ease the listener into the mindspace. This may be why I kind of want some parts to pop out of the mix more— slightly livelier drums, or having the accompanying organ jump up an octave occasionally for flavor.

    Or maybe I've just had too much coffee this morning.

    P

    Compared to the soup I traffic in, I think it's a tastefully poised arrangement. Especially appreciate the tempo change in the middle, though I'd like there to be more happening with the background vocals there— perhaps two choruses panning and sweeping together in a harmonic fashion. Last third could definitely be shaved by a third— just ramp up the complexity more quickly and you're good to go.

  • @theconnactic said:
    My entry for this month: Craving -

    Solid as always. Glad to hear some vocals, but there is a bit of a whistling resonant thing going on there. Is it from a poor source recording you're trying to improve, or artifact from a phaser effect? Can't tell. Also, the "to" in "want to lose..." seems a half note off. I'd use the pitch shifting in my desktop DAW to play with it, but I don't know what you have available to you.

    Lastly, there's something about the organ I want to change. I'm not sure whether the chords should be widened, inverted or perhaps it should be layered with another sound, but my interest level dips after hearing the phrase too many times. Rhodes is used so often, perhaps I'm just burnt out it generally.

    Enjoyed it.

    Collaboration is good. Got a good 80s-90s pillow punching song out of this one. Couldn't be further from my own musical tendencies, but it certainly sounds like it should be pouring out a radio somewhere.

  • @Eriko said:

    My first post here. Nothing vocal, but I like this one a lot!

    Sounds good. It's successful as a series of variations on a theme, but it doesn't work as a song for me. I'd say take your favorite few parts and stick some new sections in between them that carry the listener into new corners. If you create a lot of songs like this, consider them all as parts to play with and start snapping them together

    Very nice matey. At the beginning it sounded like the beginning of the old Sega/Nintendo "Splatterhouse" games. Very inventive. Nice one. ;)

    Good reference. The squeaky lead sound is from a vintage 80s musical toy, so you're not far off.

    Nice. I always dig a low-fi sound and this puts me in a good mood. Since your roots are the 70s, I'll give you a pass on the duration. Just do me a favor and layer some tripped out found-sound spoken word passages over the top. It's the only thing that will keep me from wanting to hear Stephen Merritt singing something droll alongside it.

    I usually enjoy your stuff more, but I don't think it's anything to do with you. This is a dense one, and the combination of SoundCloud compression and the fact I can't find my good headphones leaves me lacking. The last minute or so crystallized enough for me to start getting into it. Will have to try it again another time.

    No worries, thanks for listening. It is a bit busy, lots of fx and layering in AUM, and as it’s recorded live, I can’t go back and edit it. I’ve started using Reason now though, and as well as the built in synths and VST’s, I’m recording the iPad via a line in as audio. Did some today, and it’s really nice to be able to go back in, mix and tweak. Hopefully I’ll have something a bit easier on the ears next month :)
