That's an understatement ... Trip hop jazz metal is one idea ... ;-)

I have a track called 'I Have A Door' on my SoundCloud page.

I approve.

Is trip hop hip hop in three time?

I drew a blank on the last challenge so hoping this one is nicely vague enough to actually get something recorded. Interesting to think what a "new" sound may be, a fusion, a bricolage, or truly unlike any music you've ever heard? 

Antique_Guitars

Yes I have realised that most people can't take really specific challenges so the more more vague they are the better, also it kinda provides some interesting listening too!

PolarityMan

brilliant!

How about an aircraft .. inspiration for task 8 ...

This one is pretty tricky to approach. I feel like you would need a lot of confidence to put something out there and call it 'the new sound'.

I wouldn't take the description too seriously.

"new to me" counts.

Fretwired

I have an idea .. I expect nil points .. you've been warned .. :-)

PolarityMan

I am seriously considering a wacky genre combination.

Chuffola

I'm stumped! 

But I'll definitely have a go. Looking forward to hearing the various interpretations of this one...

Me too.... Incomprehensible rap through a talk box maybe.

I'm currently scouring eBay for a Pantomime 4. I already have the shoe.

haha nailed it

I have the crab too but he seems far too happy - and, as a vegetarian, I find the idea of encouraging him to top himself a bit morally challenging.

So, I'm resorting to digital modelling - I've downloaded Line 6 Cod Farm and I came up with this ....



Do you think it'll still have that authentic 'vintage' mojo?

Dolphin friendly tone , I was going to make a few more fish based puns regarding bass etc but I decided this was no plaice for that sort of thing..

DesVegas

very heavy ambient?

steamabacus

Queasy Listening?
