    here's my entry for June. Put together in Garageband - intro synth was a loop I found somewhere, internal GB bass, a Drummer track ... then a couple of teaser GeoShred licks before a tinkly electric piano riff kicks in. And then I had a friend do some lead guitar over top of the track - so real guitar lines from 1:40 to 2:36 and then I came in with some Geoshred licks from 2:36 onwards... I love GeoShred and always though it sounded close enough to the real thing - but doing this project and listening to real guitar vs. GeoShred side by side highlighted how much better the real thing is.

    I also seriously dig the vibe and idea of this piece and I want to play along, although I'd generally prefer a bit more structure and less jam before putting it into heavy rotation. That live guitar lead, though! Nice. And tell me more about those drums...they came from GB? I never use it myself but now I wonder if that isn't a mistake. Finally, thanks for the kind words on my track...inspiring you to go play something similar brings me much joy!

    Poems can be fine things, but have a tendency to the two-dimensional, which in and of itself (if you 'get' them), is part of their power. Mainline into the heart and head. But I've also spent a good amount of time explaining the feeling or meaning behind a poem and by then you're back in the classroom rather than a field (be it force or flowers). Not so good.

    Putting poems to music can be a struggle, properly answering the question of 'is this a song or a poem'. Easy enough if you speak the words, as I have often done, but more uncertain if you choose to have a bit of a sing as well.

    One of the puzzles of (romantic) love is the tremendous and certain power it elicits in people; not always suitably manifested or reciprocated. I hope the music here helps to suggest where the character in this poem is coming from....

    Love At First Sight

    Consider the cornea,
    the shin bones and the thighs.
    The sound in her ears,
    the look in her eyes.

    The heart as it beats,
    her liver in function
    breathing and lungs
    as they meet at the junction

    of all that has happened
    and all that will be
    and none ‘til this minute
    involving of me.

    It's love
    at first sight.

    Here is our's for this month, it's probably as poppy as I ever want to get, but hey the sun is shining so sing along.

    Really loved the song and the voice. I'm very new at this but I wonder if you did a final mastering like the Final Touch app to balance things out a bit more?

  • JohnnyGoodyear Love At First Sight

    Wow, what a fine combination of idea, music, words, and emotional voice. This really "spoke" to me in a moving way... Thanks!

    @LostBoy85 I am impressed by overall quality of the sound and vocals. I played the track 3 times though it's not my favourite "style" and except thumbjam I can't even notice it was really iOS made

    @theconnactic I can imagine this track longer, I enjoyed your style. As for me, I would be tempted to put some more effect stuff on the solo guitar

    @deltAdata wow... great video too. this is how touch interface should be utilized :) the track , maybe together with the video, connects me somehow to metaphysical realms which is I do music for. thanks for feedback, I see myself comparing to this one somewhere at the beginning ;)

    thanks @oddstar.. Yeah, the new Drummer feature in GB is definitely worth checking out. I wrote it off at first, because the old drum machine generator GB used to have (still has too i think) where you rolled the dice to get different beats kinda sucked. But i'd have to say, the Drummer(s) have really grown on me. Quite dynamic in what you can achieve.

  • hey @trackedout :) My little story. First, I was not sure what to comment. I played it over few times, then I put it on hold for later. Now I listened to your 2nd take and my first impression was "Oh now I see". Like the intention is clearer by better mix balance, I was not so overloaded. I kept listening and to the end I suddenly switched back to the first one. And yes I like more the vocals burried or overdriven in the mix.

    Thank you for the review. Yes, I wanted the guitar theme to be harsh and moody like a wild cat, and the improvised solo to have a softer, fluid tone. After all, the margay gat is fierce, but also agile and cunning. Also, I want my songs to be short, so you won't really be bored - not everyone can connect with a pure instrumental song. But a friend of mine asked yesterday for a "DJ Friendly" version, so I see the point.

    Dimitri.

    Hey guys,

    This is a song I've just finished.I wrote the lyrics and the melody many years ago (when life was being a bit shite as it sometimes is) but never really did much with them.I recently rediscovered them and finally took the time that I should have done long ago to produce it.Apps used Auria pro,Isymphonic orchestra,thumbjam, Igrand piano,Korg IM1 & Darcy of GarageBand fame on the drums! :) all thoughts are welcome
    and thanks for listening.
    Leo :smiley:

    @LostBoy85 Brilliant effort Leo. You have definitely raised the bar for this forum both in terms of song writing, performance and production. Reminded me a bit of the symphonic metal band Kamelot, which, believe it or not, is a compliment. Great stuff.

    "Maracajá" is the Brazilian Portuguese name for the margay cat. Enjoy the listening!

    Dimitri.

    @theconnactic Great playing and production as always. I particularly liked it from when the bass riff came in at about the 1.36 mark. A challenging scale for the main theme but after a couple of plays I think it works.

    Threw this together over the weekend and am rather pleased with how it turned out. No vocals as of yet but that's because I am terribly slow at writing lyrics, so perhaps another version will appear in the future. FYI, no guitars were harmed (or even touched) in the making of this little gem, which pleases me to no end even though I love my guitars.

    https://soundcloud.com/oddstar/the-one-instrumental-version

    Created using only:
    Blocs Wave, Steel Guitar, SynthMaster Player, and iMaschine 2 via Audiobus & AUM, sent to Auria for mixing and made shiny in Mastering

    @oddSTAR definitely a bit of a U2 vibe going on at the start, and some great guitar sounds considering no real guitars were used. Ultimately I think its going to need those vocals so get writing those lyrics.

  • @deltAdata said:
    :)

    @deltAdata Great combination of video and music, I particularly enjoyed the middle segment where the beat dropped out. Only complaint really was that I thought the drums were a little too loud in the mix at some points.

    Hi again, one from me this month

    The core is build around Figure loops, but I added some Alchemy, Drumjam, iKaossilator and Turnado .
    Arranged off iOS since I wanted to get familiar with Ableton. I love to fiddle with Figure but it is pain in the ass to export the samples and I am not quite sure about the quality of the samples and I got clicks too with the full volume set in Figure mixer ...

    I wonder if the track is working a bit without understanding the words. It's from 1977 TV series "Rachotilkovia" when I was 5 and I remembered it forever.

    Some of the words sound like

    The whole world is full of sounds. And every sound has its rachotilko (noise spirit). We can see them (and speak with) only through the glass that once upon a time was made by master glassmaker.

    How many such in the world? Only one. You're lucky that it's You, who discovered it.

    @fRAS not really my sort of thing and the first few minutes sounded like a lot of other dance music from the 90s. However from when the beat dropped out at about the 3.48 mark and things started getting funky I really enjoyed it. Great use of the vocal samples as well.

  • @trackedout said:
    alright guys i really appreciate your input thank you. i have put it all into thought and heres your guyss version!

    @trackedout its great to here all that fuzz guitar man

    @Halftone nice atmospheric opening and some great guitar playing from your friend.

    @JohnnyGoodyear I am going to be honest here and I do not mean to offend. This track is either brilliant or a bunch of pretentious arty shite and I still haven't decided. I am going to give it a few more plays, perhaps after a couple of glasses of red. I apologise if I have over stepped the mark.

    Thank you very much indeed, @orchardman!

  • @orchardman Hey man,thanks very much for your feedback,although I do feel you were being rather generous with me this month!! :smiley:

    I think it's so cool that you and your wife make these songs together.Do you gig? Does she play or write or just sing? Anyway enough 20 questions.
    "Flying Henry home" sounds great to me.The singing is lovely and good work figuring out the harmonies.The title is a good hook in the song and it's a good lyric that doesn't spoon feed you the story,there's room for the imagination...god,I'm boring myself here!! :D
    Bottom line well done on what I thought had shades of "the beautiful south" about it.

  • @fras hey thanks for listening, i can sit here imagining my music playing in diferent countrys and i dont know why that trips me out so much.. im not surr what u meant.. did u mean you liked the first mix afterall?

  • Hey, @Halftone: your friend is really a fine guitar player with probably a great instrument - that made the difference, not so the shortcomings of Geoshred. In fact, hadn't I read the text that explains the track, I'd have thought it was a real guitar, just with another set of effects. Nice song and nice mix: congrats!

  • First of all, @JohnnyGoodyear, I really loved the lyrics of this rather short song of yours. Your vocal performance was better than ever, with kind of a Leonard Cohen way of singing/speaking. The spacious and laid-back instrumental is very good and appropriate to the mood suggested by the lyrics. Congrats!

    I don't have a problem with you thinking it's shit, we're all grown ups etc. Not the most polite way of expressing disapproval, but no offense taken. Pretentious always puts me in mind of pretend, things dressed up to appear -falsely- one way or another. That riles me a little bit. This is a simple poem about limerence, a thing I find genuinely interesting and one I've suffered from (and enjoyed) in my past. That to one side, I've always said I would prefer people to either really like or dislike what I do, to feel strongly about it rather than be somewhere in the middle, so I can hardly start complaining now. :) Appreciate the listen.

    Thank you. I'm pleased you liked the lyrics. That's pretty much always my beginning and end, and perhaps especially with this kind of thing. Technically I'm not on a par with so many people here when it comes to writing music, and as a result I seem to end up focusing as much as I can on a mood. If I can get that to at least 'soundtrack' what I think the feel or meaning of the words is then I'm happy enough. It's for this reason I think, in the end, I'm probably a suitable candidate for collaboration, but that brings its own challenges of course :) Thanks again.

    You're welcome, @JohnnyGoodyear ! I really liked this one, so much that I listened to it a few times, and I'm listening to it again right now. In fact, there is nothing in this song that I didn't like and, if it sounded like criticism when I mentioned that the song was short, rest assured that it's one of its strengths in my opinion.

  • Hey, @fRAS! Interesting song. Indeed I didn't understand the words, but it is kind of expected, I suppose... what language is that? Nice choice of loops and sounds, specially those treble, percussive ones, that indeed sounded a little like glass. Good job!

    @JohnnyGoodyear sorry to have been so abrupt, it had been a hard week at the coal face. I did say it was either brilliant or shite. Ultimately all music/art is there to provoke an emotional response and this certainly did. I liked the the musical arrangement and I think it was the lyrics/poem that I was struggling with but hey what do I know I'm writing songs that were inspired by a silly picture of a duck. Sorry once again.

  • @theconnactic said:
    Hey, @orchardman: did Darcy play the drums? I have, for the sake of constructive criticism, to say that the fade out came a bit to early and proceeded a bit too fast. Other than this, a very good pop song, reminiscent a little bit of The Cranberries. Liked a lot the breakdown where the guitar plays the I-V-IV progression (sounded like a I(sus2) - I7M(sus2) - IV, which is the same thing. Was it the case?) with a very nice chorus effect. The mix is fine, the balance is good, and the singer's performance is outstanding as always. Keep it up!

    @theconnactic thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the song. The drums are GarageBand but they are Mason not Darcy. The chord progression for the verse is d2, a2, g. I have purposely being trying to keep things simple for the last couple of songs but I like the sus2 chords when strumming.
