The pat on the back is worthless, it's much more worthwhile to get the advice which helps you improve
Which brings me to:
A problem I also suffer from
and not just when singing. It's a lack of basic musicianship that hopefully will come with more practice. The underlying song in this case is good enough that the small flaws don't detract from it.
But that's what's great about this exercise, all the mistakes are out in the open and nothing to be ashamed of, we can all improve in so many areas: writing, playing, mixing, vocals etc...
And the more you take on, the more work there is and the more areas in which you have to learn. Adding vocals increases the difficulty of creating the song in first place by a huge amount: lyrics to write, melodies to conjure up, far more difficulties in mixing, more scrutiny of the performance.
When I look at the progress that everyone has made in just a few short months I really think we'll see some exciting stuff if this keeps going. A year or two down the line those who have stayed the course will be writing some great music.
Thanks for the listen. Timing/delivery is all over the place TBH. As mentioned, really need to sing it a hundred times, but that's not hard to do. Carnegie Hall/practice etc.
As for David Byrne, I thought the same thing as soon as I heard myself doing the "I - I - I....." thing. There are worse masters
All I know for sure is that I have made some things in areas and ways that I would not have made. That's enough reason (beyond all the other reasons). If you're on the fence (half this damn Forum is ALWAYS on the fence about something
, get off and start punting something OVER the fence.

The bass line reminded me of "Road to Nowhere" actually.
Nah... the best is definitely yet to come...
More punk is predicted. Angry old men.
Good nudge actually. It IS June 28th after all. The bell tolls for Tuesday etc.
I am currently striving for completion of my offering...
@Igneous1 Good, gender-neutral person. Need something to look forward to over here. End of June and the wood stoves are whistling in Maine...
Okay here’s mine:
although at 12 seconds it’s not really a mong of the sonth, it’s an in-sting for my video series on how we’re all going to lose our jobs to robots, then never find another job, then die. But it was done in Widget. (the graphics are Apple’s Motion).
Anything that elongates my brief efforts into Tolstoy Territory -as regards length, not content- is always very welcome.
The music here is certainly very robot-ey (technical term); albeit in an Orwellian (they're going to grind you down and eat your shavings) kind of way, as opposed to my own guess which is more Huxleyian (they're going to soften what's left of your brain with leisure and pleasure until numbness is the only country you recognize).
Perhaps we will/do need a video/graphic effort of the month.
It has its strength and its weakness; its strength: it is not too long: its weakness: it is too short.
You should have heard it before — it was over twice as long before I cut it down.
Don't think I'll have a second offering this month, struggling with my setup, as ever. Tried adding some Cyclop to the JG/Monzo track just now and Auria was acting the giddy goat as usual (or it could be Cyclop, or more likely Audiobus). Practiced a few runs then went back into Cyclop to record and all sound gone. Had to reboot everything to get the sound back. Then the recording levels went haywire - first part, lovely, second part the recording level seemed to triple of it's own accord and ended up with a distorted mess. Took the levels right down, recorded fine, but loud pops and clicks apeeared in the recording when I played it back. Gave up.
I'm starting to reconsider using the iPad for anything other than a silly noise muck about, as it's becoming as much fun as trying to post on this forum via aDRAFT SAVED 23:53 hone 6 (iosDRAFT SAVED 23:53
I feel your pain Mister @Monzo, in all respects. Particularly irritating somehow on a Sunday night when loins are already girding for the onslaught of required/paid activities and their own inevitable frustrations. I would suggest a long holiday. Take two and call me in the morning.
I thought I would add a second entry this month. I was hesitant to enter it because it was mostly an experiment. I am open to constructive critism. Used BeatHawk, SynthMaster and Cubasis.
I have updated this link to a newer, revised version:
Sorry for the quick notes, but I'm due an early morning and am fighting what will be a late bed. Like the drum sound. The first lead sound seems a little played especially at the beginning of the phrases, a little off time perhaps. The second lead was, to my ears, too loud in the mix. Some nice sounds in there. I haven't recorded anything directly into BH yet (having troubles with the update), but I can see (hear
it might be a good choice. You have inspired me to have a go. Just not tonight....
@u0421793 not really a song, but that's OK.
For me this is a good example of how a "difficult" piece of music actually succeeds in communicating an effective message. Since the music is really a soundtrack to the ident/visual it communicates something dehumanising about robots, and in this case the noise/dissonance has a clear purpose and a message for me it really works. Of course without the visuals I wouldn't have been able to make that association.
I've updated the list in the second post with the latest entries.
What's happened to MattFletcher2000 this month? I hope you're not slacking
Not a song, hardly a track (although long in comparison to some!), I feel that SOTM is a purging for me. I have so many ideas, so little time, and eventually I need to give up and move on. This is where this group comes in. This is my experiment with keeping everything within Gadget. Like some others I'm thinking that Auria Pro will be the answer to everything (ish), iM1 has given me a way in to Gadget, so....
Maybe "struggling" rather than "slacking". Real world stuff etc...
I have a couple of basslines, a drum riff and some melody and swishy parts - but that does not a song of the month make
.
I have 2 days though...
I also have to listen to every else's - which I will do...
@Fitz it could be accused of being a little muzak-y mostly because of the choice of sounds, but there is a lot of melodic invention in there. Some repetition or call-and-response though would have helped to give the melody more structure, but I liked to overall evolution of the melody itself. This is probably a case of too many ideas that need more structure to really be able to take off.
One area that could have been developed more to great effect is when the ensemble strings come in at 1.05 the tune could have made more use of that idea to enter a new more dramatic passage, that shift would have given a lot more emotional content to the music IMO.
@bsantoro nice fusion of beats and jazz sounds, and musically I can't criticise it, there's plenty of musical invention going on and it feels very much like a late 60's early 70's jazz piece with some modern beats.
I would have liked a little more emotion in the music though, to me this tune sounds like a musician enjoying playing music rather than an artist trying to communicate an emotion, message or state of mind, and I guess this makes the tune feel a little bland despite the excellent musicianship and production.
I also have to listen to every else's - which I will do...
Prioritize the making over the listening, you can always save the latter for next month.
@Fitz, very nice pulsing guitar sound as part of the rythym. Good mix with appropriate use of reverb. Maybe develop into a full song? richardyout brings up a lot of good points.

He's absolutely right.
Thanks guys... have a hit a bit of a... thing... but will get something in i'm sure...
@LostBoy85
Great production values. Great song writing (quite catchy, good lyrics, like the 80s song references). Really pro sounding mix... Your voice is great. I have no criticism really. Not massively my genre, but very well executed in all areas tbh... Looking forward to you making more of your own sounds and breaking out of the "launchpad" / "sessionband" loops... I think you'll find it easy.
Here's my entry, it's called 'Discerning Space'. It was created entirely in Gadget and mastered in Final Touch.
It's pretty much finished, but I'II probably revise it later as it will be part of a 16 track album titled 'Fon' - which will be all done in Gadget.
I've done it under my 'Formbank' electronica alias, hope you dig it !
@AlterEgo_UK
Honestly... not really my thing... Felt quite long to listen to. It's great guitar playing but I just felt it meandered a bit and with no lyrics or anything I got a little bit bored TBH. I preferred your other tracks - they had a bit more bite to them - or something.
However, I liked the bit where the guitar was kind of screaming (the harmony you put in)...
Anyway - ignore all of that since I already said it's not my thing. And forgive my honesty, too tired to write anything sugar coated
