TGF Do Something Challenge - Season 9 Week 6

[ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ]

​

Welcome to Week 6 of Season 9's "Do Something Challenge". I sure hope you all have not given up on this motivator Challenge! Not a lot of output this week at 9 entries (though we did more than double last week's totals), but I will chalk it up to busy summer schedules! With the 9 this week, we are now at a total of 43 pieces of music submitted in the first five weeks of the Challenge! Great job participants!! Here is a print screen of the spreadsheet (click on it or the link to see full sheet):

​

Kudos to all who have contributed so far to this Season!! Get out there and encourage others to join the Challenge and submit some entries ;~)) MUSIC, it's the best (and best shared)!!

Week 6 will run through August 09, so get on it and make some more glorious noises!

#Original (snippet, work in progress)
I wish I could finish more tunes faster, so I could contribute with more than one tune per season, but the stuff I am doing is not made in a day. However, I am going to post a snippet from a work in progress. That is a first timer and a little anxiety provoking.

Background is that my muse easily runs cold if I make four tunes on the same set up. At the same time I do not click with much gear made beyond 2010 or so. I am a retro hw nerd by default and do not like working 100% ITB. Thus I need different systems to change between, but they better not exceed more than three units or my working memory span and patience start hurting. I am setting up all my gear in such systems, and this is what I have come up with:

1. Miko TSE 100% standalone.

2. MC909 + Pianobox Pro (GM module)+ Boog D.

3. Macbook Pro w. Reason + JV1010 + Keystep bk

4. Macbook Air w. Reason + Yamaha SY77 + Polivoks

In the two latter cases, Reason is sequencer and runs drum samples and medieval instruments not onboard the hardware.

The snippet below is from a test of system 3, all but the guitar emus is made with JV1010. I really like its sound. It has passed my kiss-test by far (Keep It Simple, Stupid).

Thanks for contribution Gothi! If you would not mind, please edit your post above to include a tag of #original-song or #WRLJ (Wank/Riff/Lick/Jam), however you want it classified, I don't care, all up to you. It helps me ensure my count is accurate when I am doing totals ;~)) Great beat on that piece, I look forward to the final product!

Decided to record something on my new GOC guitar today. System of a Down. Atwa.

I just realized this was happening and been so busy with rehearsals and recording others I almost didn't get a chance to try to participate, This is a new demo of a song I wrote quite some time ago that I want the band to work on. It is sure to evolve if we work on it as a group.

Thanks for entering this BROCKSTAR ;~)) After the Season 9 ends, you will be sporting the "TGF Recording Artist" banner as a result of your participation! If I could ask you to do one small thing which is edit the post above and put the tag #orig OR #ioe in the text (read this for explanation of what these mean if need be). It helps me verify my counts at the end of weeks/seasons (not that this weeks input requires much verification but just trying to remain consistent). Great work as usual and welcome to the Challenge!!

Started this one today and finished. Just an experimental track with a little bit of chaos thrown in.
