This is for the Basschat November Composition Challenge: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/374053-november-composition-challenge-get-writing/

I try not to think too much about these, but if I had to say how it relates to the picture, maybe the insistent bass part feels like time inexorably passing and the piano and guitar are about what that's done to the subject of the picture.

Drums: NI Studio Drummer, programmed by me, very basic!
Bass: Me on my Maruszczyk Elwood (with flats) through Mark Studio 2
Piano: Me playing my NI S88 through the piano from NI's "Cuba"
Guitar: Me on my PRS through a couple of different Amplitube Fender amps

It is meant to sound a bit "loose" in places - honest!

I'm a total novice at mixing & mastering so this is roughly mixed for levels and then run through the best preset mastering chain I could find in Studio One with no tweaks.

Rust In Peace

My entry for the April 2020 Basschat composition challenge, to write a piece based on the picture.

September Spring

My entry for the fun informal monthly Basschat Composition Challenge, where the aim is to write a piece inspired by a picture provided by the previous month's winner.

Went for a slightly dark moody take on a pretty straight rock song, and then made my first ever attempt at lyrics, vocal melody and some "singing". I know the vox aren't great, I'm no singer but it wouldn't really be complete without something on there.
