Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC060 August 2022 - results in preparation

In that new version there's also an added synth with my first self made Voltage synth preset. The synth is the saw? No, it's wave oscillator with delayed vibrato and some filters, and it goes to guitar amp and tape delays. I was trying to make a "poor man's pedal steel", so my reference w...

... but no matter how many times I listen to the new song from 1:44-, I don't like something ... To be honest, I agree with you (that specific bar). But I don't know exactly what it is either. Now that you've been discussing it I also checked that part. As if the singer and keyboard goes along with...

Re: SONGWRITING COMPETITION - SWC060 August 2022 - results in preparation

Intro is two bars too long. Cut the last two bars. Very true, that's already fixed. From 0:43 – 0:48 I really don't understand the harmonic progression here (”day by day”); the tones from the double bass seems not to fit together with the guitar, the pizzicato violin (if that's what it is) and voca...

Olli H - I don't really have any comments for this one. I like the little plucks that kind of help paint the picture of water drops. The lyrics definitely fit the narrative and feel like they could be a metaphor for someone feeling stuck but also not wanting to change; kind of how people can become...

It would be very interesting to hear somewhat more in detail what it is you don't like, because I had planned to ask Ian to participate again. Maybe I should not do that? If I could ask such a singer, I certainly would. He has the same kind of character in his voice as Red Hot Chilli Peppers' Antho...

I didn’t read any of your submission details. So, with mere listening I may have missed some relevant points. ============ ESTEVE CORBERA Sounds great. This is actually very beautiful. And it can be listened several times in a row without problems. But I would take that water sample away, especially...

My submission Olli H: One Lonely Drop At A Time https://drive.google.com/file/d/15l0GsdQQxeVeq311sBImS08Dz7ISWALs/view?usp=sharing For the lack of descent ideas I had already decided not to attend this month. But then I get this last minute idea. I didn't have time for any production, mixing etc. I ...

While listening these submissions, I wasn't sure if I should have been thinking from the point of view of the "dev team". Actually, about twenty-five years ago there was a period when my main job was to code 2D-minigames to multimedia publications. During that time they were published as C...

In the rules it is said "You can revisit an old production of yours, or remake/renew a several week-old work-in-progress. Including something you started during another songwriting game, but you were limited on time and/or allowed equipment." So I guess it's ok to revisit my old submission...
