Because a friend of mine scoffed at the notion of a solo in Adele's new song after telling her the potential for one (and therefore the neeeeed) was strong. Challenge accepted!

      Haven't even heard her new song! Very clever and melodic, lovely!

        Missed this, cool!
          Thanks guys ?

          Eagerly awaiting a phone call from Adele about joining her on tour.

          One can dream...

            Dig this track. Reminds me of the hours of childhood spent on the megadrive playing sonic.

              Something new. Inspired by Ellie Goulding's "On My Mind" of all things.

              The chorus is just a rearranged version of the Sega Sway melody.



              Its kind of a weird arrangement, but I dig it for now.

                Cool to have a full song!
                Come on - add some bass now?

                  I'm starting to dislike some of the bridges in the song so I may end up rearranging the whole thing first.

                    I would agree with that _ I admit to always trying to be an "ordered" sort of person and I did get a sense of being "lost" while listening to the song (or is it that I simply rely mostly on the AABA.... form for a tune?)

                      I quite like weirder structures but I think this is actually quite a regular one.
                      Verse-->Bridge(A)-->Chorus-->Bridge(B)-->Verse-->Bridge(A)-->Chorus-->Solo-->Chorus

                      I don't dig the way Bridge(B) came out.

                      But anyway these are just to lure in a vocalist and eventually other members so it'll all probably get stripped, washed and flipped anyway.

                          Thanks! I've got a nice vocal melody figured out for the verse but its all gibberish for now ?

                              The Dreamscape Saga -- LOVE this! Couldn't find a decent bass tone on Fruity Loops though. Sounds weird...


                              Sunday -- Had someone particular in mind while writing this.

                                    Thanks! I use preset tones on my computer through a program called Gearbox. Looking at the tones I used for those two tunes I see there is a Sine Chorus mod/pedal and a bit of reverb on both so I suppose thats what you're hearing? A tiny bit of delay on the Sunday tone.

                                      I'll have to check it out. Great sounds man!!
