Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"
finished lyrics and most of melody/song structure but still have to actually record most of it. feeling pretty good about it so far though. hoping to be able to spend quite a bit of time tomorrow and sunday to get it down. the good thing about nur ein is this deadline, I need to start giving myself deadlines on other projects I think.

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"
But it does specify percussion using only one hand right?

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"
I'm in. I was running out of time, so my song has no drums apart from the hand percussion (djembe, bongos, tambourine) I used. It sounds a bit unfinished to me. But I am very proud of my vocal harmony.

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"
So, let me tell you about the Last Minotaur...
Vom Vorton put in a shadow. I said to him that him doing it made me want to do one. He said I should. I went about my day. Then at about 10:15, I said to Brookes that I should do a shadow and she dared me to make one by midnight. I did (basically).

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"
Whoops. You're only going to get horrible amounts of tambourine and guiro from me. No drums
I wrote and recorded a shadow last minute today again. I started this with this zither my dad mailed me recently (we bought it on vacation in Hungary 20+ years ago and it's just been at his house since then) but it's not really tuned to anything, it's currently apparently somewhere between B and Bb, so I had to retune the other pitched instruments I added (bass and ukulele) to match it, and had to forgo keyboards, guitar (because I was tired of retuning) and Melodyne. So, uh, sorry in advance to anyone who is bothered by sloppiness, between the 100% human hand percussion, rushed timeline and the many mysteries of pitch, you're probably going to have a rough time with this one.

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"
welp, I'm in. not feeling great about it but what are you gonna do, not compete?
clapping happened in the bridge and outro, but I put effects on it so it sounds weird. just because that was the mood I was in.

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"
In Singapore, some taxis have little signs warning drivers about checking their blind spots. My partner pointed this out when I told her the title. So - warning about blind spots became my theme. But with handclaps instead of taxi signs.

Re: Nur Ein XVIII, Round One: "Blind Spot"
Considering you just said you added bass and uke... I think you're fine. I just meant I didn't want to listen to a bunch of songs with JUST tamborine or something and singing. Hand percussion can be the only percussion if you'd like... I just wouldn't be able to "judge" 21 tamborine + vox songs is all.
