treesha Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I never entered any music competition before, I was kinda bored of the song I was working on so messed around with the desk bell and made this. The rules are to use only the sounds in the free desk bell instrument, and that it be under 2 minutes. I probably would have made it longer if not for that time limit. You can use fx etc to mess with the sounds which I did. It was fun to do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was supposed to be under 2 minutes for the competition entry but I could always revisit it. I agree it has some beautiful parts to it and did feel it could go on longer.

I do like that song so maybe it was in lurking in the back of my brain somewhere ha. I think its been said there is nothing new under the sun, maybe it was Sting who said it ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fun to mess around with the samples, not something I normally do. Regards back ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antler Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hi Treesha Very creative - I don't think I've ever heard Desk Bell like that before! Nice tune - best of luck with your entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Hi antler, thanks for listening and your positive feedback. I did try to get creative with it and make the sounds different with fx etc. Thank you for the good luck wishes, I enjoyed the process and that's the best part really.

Tim Smith Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Creative use of those sounds. I seen the contest and was tempted to try it. With these things you never really know what they are looking for to win it? I would think having some sort of a melody would be helpful but what do I know? I guess the object of it is to have fun. If you enjoy making it that's probably all that counts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hi Tim, thanks for listening and your comment! I never entered a contest before but was interested in giving the concept a try. I have no idea what would be a competitive entry either ! So yeah it was fun and thats good. I am curious to see what other entries are like and I imagine those who work with samples a lot would be good at this. Still time for you to enter ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My entry's in this thread Something else I had previously created using only Desk Bell is here Comments/feedback about either are welcome, but please do so in their respective threads so that this thread doesn't get hijacked.

treesha Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Thanks antler. The instructions said to upload the entry to soundcloud. I haven’t looked around on there to see if they are available to check out. I will listen to your posts. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I uploaded to both SoundCloud and YouTube, and submitted the SoundCloud link. I generally link to YouTube as it seems (to me at least) to have a higher sound quality for playback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Working to a deadline and constraints is a good exercise I think. Well done, so ?'s are in order. 23 hours ago, treesha said: I have no idea what would be a competitive entry either But On 12/14/2021 at 5:20 PM, treesha said: enjoyed the process and that's the best part 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 That was a fun listen, you got a lot of mileage out of the desk bells! I could hear you different parts coming and going. Would make a nice underlayment for something needing a Danny Elfman vibe . . . hope you win! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
