The Great Biweekly Artists of Musicbanter Song Off Act II

I'll vote for Janz's, I know we both like Tipper a lot and his track sounds a lot like a dark, brooding track Tipper would make. I love all the little details that are scattered throughout, and I think you nailed the theme better than anyone, so you get an A+ and a vote from me!

I'm gonna go with Frownlands. Location, location, location.

1. Frownland - 1
2. Plankton - 0
3. Janzsoon - 1
4. YorkeDaddy - 0

For the next theme, since it's the 2nd day of summer, "Sun"

**Janszoon** · 06-22-2014, 08:07 AM

So we are voting in this? If so, I'm voting Frowny too. His would fit right in on Sun Ra's Strange Strings and I love that album, so high praise indeed.

1. Frownland - 2
2. Plankton - 0
3. Janzsoon - 1
4. YorkeDaddy - 0

^Yes the players can vote, but not for their own tracks obviously. But I probably didn't have to tell you that.

I like the weird bent on YorkeDaddy's track a lot with the marimba sounds, but I like Janzsoon's track better because of the interesting textures it keeps on laying down. Plus it fits the theme quite well.

1. Frownland - 2
2. Plankton - 0
3. Janzsoon - 2
4. YorkeDaddy - 0

And you guys have until July 6 to submit your track for the "sun" theme.

Non-players can vote too, right? I'd like to place my vote for Plankton's. I know the word hollow also means empty, which isn't always a good thing, but it can also mean something positive. As in hollow = empty = release.

I got the feeling that the track was about someone who had to go through hell, made it out alive, and can now literally feel nothing else except relief. I felt that there was some sort of release or resolution going on in the track. Almost as if that person is now exhaling all the struggles/bad things he experienced down there - which is where the hollow/empty part comes in.

That's why I think his submission fits the theme perfectly. Kinda weird how I got to that conclusion, but there it is.

Also, that bass is hella funky.

Do we need a ruling on whether or not voters should have a certain number of posts? I know I've lost a few 'contests' from having people have their friends register on a forum just to pad their votes (which is not the case here... homey don't play dat).

Thanks Da Funk. I like how you picked up on all that. Much appreciated.

For the "Sun" theme:

Here's one done out of pure ****ing anger. I'm pissed about ****ing myself up on a god dam mini bike. It's about when the sun ****ing shines through the ****ing clouds during a ****ing hurricane.

Drum track was from yootoob, the rest was painfully done by me in 3 one takes (rhythm, then bass, and then lead).

YorkeDaddy · 06-24-2014, 09:23 AM

For some reason my first thought when I saw "sun" was "apocalypse"

My submission:

Peaceful Thoughts as the Solar Flare Engulfs the Earth

Plankton · 06-24-2014, 09:36 AM

Sounds good. Maybe it's the power of suggestion, but the song does capture what is described in it's title.
