The Alien Genre Challenge 2020
Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra:
Guess this is all about done barring a late flurry from Canada or Hampshire.....
Well I enjoyed the challenge to do something different and I would say I learnt something from it though I probably won't be going any further down that particular genre path. Might lead me to go to some different places in the future but it isn't quite yet. Interested to know how it affected anybody else on that score.
Putting together the song got me out of that peculiar lockdown semi-coma for which I'm grateful so good on ya to the organisers and I'm always up for the challenges if not much else. Strangely enough a song I'm working on which will be my only real song of the year probably was born in a way out of my failure to come up with a song for the New Year comp which I may be able to explain some time before the next new year hopefully.
Thoroughly enjoyed evrybody's take on their genre pick and hope we all got something out of it.
I'm not going to bump up my song post so will take this opportunity to thank all who listened and commented.
For anybody who cares, the sampled soul song was The Spinners 'I'll Be Around'
The backing in the chorus was from Funkadelic 'One Nation Under A Groove'
The extra drum bit for which the prize was a 12 week quarantine cruise on The Diamond Princess was from the intro to 'Power Show' by Fela Kuti.
That's all folks!
