Time for round #31 of the Fretboard Composition Challenge.

Every few months there'll be a composition challenge. It revolves around individuals or groups of forum members composing and recording music.

No prizes for this challenge. It's just for fun, a spur to creating, sharing, discussing music/recording and learning. Plus a way of testing the water with your creations and getting some feedback.

GUIDELINES -THEME
Just compose a tune, or recycle something you've composed previously.
Feel free if you want to create your own theme.
Picture: In addition to the music, try to create your own picture that relates to your selected theme/title. This isn't mandatory.

DATES AND VOTING
The submission deadline is midnight 8th March 2021
Voting will start soon after the submission deadline and run for about two weeks, with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.

First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point
The entry with the most points wins.
The order and scores of the three people with the most votes will be announced soon after the voting ends.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
All recordings and pictures need to be sent via email to Compositions@theFB.co.uk
Songs to be submitted in mp3 format.
Pictures to be in jpg or png format.

I'll post the entries below as they arrive:

    Careful now....I may just have to dust off my old ocarina specifically for this challenge. 3rd place in Swindon's talent show in 2001 I'll have you know   

    seriously though I may just have to incorporate the kazoo somehow just for a laugh. will be interesting to see you fit one in one of your dark electro tracks.

    Last time I played an ocarina, my granddaughter passed on chicken pox.

    Ocarina makes me think of a weird Spanish dance

    I think that might be Macarena. Which is now a cue for jokes about maracas.

    ha, now there is a challenge. Kazoo plus distortion plus crusher - you've got an excellent nasty drone!

  • Strange how one can get distracted. Over the past couple of days I've spent a good few hours with Massive X, working out how to get sounds like an Ocarina, Kazoo and Jaw Harp (I think that's the safe term). At least I've learned a lot more about programming Massive X.

    Now the challenge is whether I can weave the sounds into a composition.

    It's not a competition.

    Excellent stuff mate. I'll be getting the upgrade to Ultimate 13 at some point, so will be able to have a look at Massive X.

    I've done a track for the latest challenge. I'm just working on the final mix, debating a couple of things to add in. Might use Action Strikes, not used it at all yet.

    Its the usual, dark moody affair, usual uplifting stuff!

    I've ordered a tin one, and knowing my luck will discover I'm allergic and end up with lips like a footballers' wife.

    I'll update K12 Ultimate to K13 Ultimate Collectors Edition, when it's on offer. I'll probably get Omnisphere as well at some point, having heard the sounds in your creations.

    As I'm starting to run out of hard drive space, I was worried about the pain of moving all my libraries to a new bigger drive. So I did a bit of Googling and found an answer to my question (link below), which was actually asked by me about 4 years ago It's scary what you forget.

    It's not a competition.

    I'm waiting for the 13 offer too. I started with 9 ultimate, and got the upgrade to 11 ultimate on offer for about 160 quid, so if can get similar for 13, that will be great. Bargain IMO. 
    Omnisphere is a constant revelation mate. I love it. I've not even mastered audio import yet, which looks a bit mind blowing too.
