Come on fellas if I can get something in for this anybody can. Took me two evenings after work and most of the first evening was spent messing around with technology as I've recently had to wipe my computer!

Really disappointing that folks don't join in with these

Aha if only

I just don't feel too inspired about the theme otherwise I'd submit something

ElectroDan

Try not to think about what would be sexy to a forum almost entirely populated by male guitar nerds and write something that would get the ladies... er... interested! ">

I think expecting to feel inspired first and then creating the music after is going about it the wrong way round. Try just making some music first and see what inspiration arises from that process.

As Brian Eno said ...

“The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can. There’s no point in saying, ‘I don’t have an idea today, so I’ll just smoke some drugs.’ You should stay alert for the moment when a number of things are just ready to collide with one another… The reason to keep working is almost to build a certain mental tone, like people talk about body tone. You have to move quickly when the time comes, and the time might come very infrequently – once or twice a year, or even less.”

When you hear mine, you'll see that the theme can be very approximately approached indeed

I've had a few ideas in the meantime but I'm struggling to keep the wah wah out of it to avoid making it sound too much like a 70's porn track.

Why struggle to avoid it? Just give in to it. You know you want to, baby.

The way I see it is there are two ways to go with this
Sensual and romantic or funny
I'm plumping for the later
Mine features some choice language ..I assume that's not a fucking problem ?

Just sent my entry and no wah included.

I've chosen to use a language too. I'd like to think mine is both sensual and funny. However I can't.

Out of interest, you haven't covered the bit of The Doors' "The End" where it gets faster have you?

Cabicular

No
I'm entirely responsible for what may follow ...

I had an unforeseen hiatus .. good to see this is still going. I will submitt something.

Effort emailed.

What I wanted was a cross between Prince and Barry White, funky,sexy and soulful.

What your getting however is an overweight balding forty nine year old white bloke warbling about the quiet blissful moments after sex, you know , the nanosecond of quiet before she starts talking about the kitchen needing repainting.

I'm actually working on something right now for a collaborative project, but I think that I'll just finish it solo and use it here. I love it, but it doesn't really fit the prompt for the other thing I'm doing. I'm also totally using a riff from it for RoTM, and maybe another one for RRotm.

Recycling is good for the environment, right?
