    OK then … that's mine sent!

    Was trying to wait until I'd shifted this cold before doing the vocals but, if I didn't do them today they would not have got done before deadline, so they are what they are.

    No big solo in this one as I've still not got my hand back to 100% … hopefully get to rip in the next one.

    oh and the photo is entirely unrelated ... it’s just how I’m celebrating finishing that beast

    Once again I'm unlikely to get anything in for this one as I'm studying for my chartership assessment this Thursday, but did manage to jam through a version of the Gnarls Barkley one during a break in revision the other day, in the style of Jamie Cullum's cover of Pharrel's "Frontin". However, with a cold the C above middle C was not quite reachable therefore I'd need to dig out my keyboard instead of using my proper piano as I need to set the transpose down a tone or a tone and a half which will require more work than I suspect I'll have time to complete (it's covered in other stuff and a delicately balanced tower of unopened shirts in packets).

    But, if anybody would like to imagine a slightly nasal vocal rendition of that song, in the Jamie Cullum style, roughly a tone higher than is achievable with said nasal voice, they are welcome to award me in return the nil points that I'd get even if I did record it for you
    Please note my communication is not very good, so please be patient with me

  • I think I might be able to submit something, as I made some big strides today. It's another instrumental and I'll come last again, but who cares :)

    It's not a competition.

    It's got nothing to do with divas but lack of available time so far. It will be done though sweetheart... Perhaps if you could do your own proper vocals you wouldn't need to rely on others... ;) 

    Speaking of which, I'm hoping to get an entry in but foolishly based it around a female vocal - Gnarls Barkley but in the style of Phantom Of The Opera musical. Hopefully I can get the wife to agree on a key and record her part in enough time

    We should all collaborate on a cover as a one off, maybe as a Christmas treat.

    Great shout . A Christmas collab is a must. Winner of this challenge ( @IMC1980 no doubt) gets to pick.

    So do we divide it into sections recorded by entrants or take on different roles within a single track?

    If that's the case I guess I'm on the Djent / Noise metal bridge to Silent Night?

    Either way will take a bit of planning, sections may be a bit inconsistent; if everyone does a role, then it will be one mix etc.

    I'm sure the world can wait for my latest creation. Don't get your hopes up.
