Re: Song Fight Live Online 2023

Hey Ken, I treated this kinda like a normal song fight deadline and just finished a single song "set." I'll fill out the form and send it if you give me the go-ahead, but no worries if not. Earlier is better, but I can keep adding videos until Wednesday night (Or Thursday am at the very l...

Re: How do you make hushpuppies? (Friday Fish Fry reviews)

Night Sky : You said you borrowed a traditional melody here but I can’t for the life of be tell you what it was! It reminds me of something that I’ve heard in maybe a Doobie Brothers song or something? Maybe it just has a “traditional sound to it”. I personally would have liked to hear a bit more d...

Re: What's for dinner? Oh yeah ... (Friday Fish Fry prefight)

In with something ridiculously simple and repetitive (even just ripped off a traditional melody), but at least it's mercifully short. Didn't manage to get a video done, though :(

Comrades! Seize the means of distribution!

This is Dark Tourist, by Night Sky. A bit more stripped down than phlub’s.

Re: Circle of Titles 2022

I turned in something for Night Sky. We went a little dark with our title, but both of our options were dark, so we leaned in and tried to work some stuff out. Hope it's not too heavy for the title-giver! Steve is not to blame for the rather rudimentary drums.

Re: We met, became friends and then (Like Turned To Love reviews)

Knight Skye - Okay, this vocoder business actually works great for the genre. Maybe cause I’ve been jamming a lot of Roger and Zapp lately, but I’m all about it. Opening groove makes me expect some “doot-doot-doodoos, flyyyy like an eagle!” coming in. But the funk here is infectious. And I seriousl...

Re: We met, became friends and then (Like Turned To Love reviews)

Night Sky : 70s jazzy funk vibes. This kicks off with a nice arrangement of e-piano, organ and choppy guitar, though I think maybe a less-is-more approach with the latter may have worked better. Interesting choice with the vocoder vocals - the jury’s out on that. Noted the optional challenge of syn...

Re: We met, became friends and then (Like Turned To Love reviews)

Great fight, everyone. I’m hearing a lot of boxiness/excess reverb, but that may be my listening situation or my general aversion to too much reverb. So if I’m the only one who says things are boxy/reverby, please factor that in. I took a pause to listen to some reference tracks and I don’t think it...

Night Sky is out. We didn’t manage to come up with anything I could turn into a song.
Such as shame :(

but... clouds & silver linings... does this mean you're a sax-worker for hire for the duration of Nur Ein?
Solos or sectionals?

I'm definitely less inclined to get on a plane, which for me means if it's a west coast affair, I remain interested, but still a little wary. And of course, odds are the west coast will be on fire, so who knows? Edit to add, what if we did a couple regional SFL's that, to build on jack's idea, conne...
