It would appear I forgot to post my second song here.

I came 8th in the first round and 3rd in this one, which is a good trajectory. Although I'm not sure I'll even get a song in for the next round because exhausted, probably hungover tomorrow, busy on sunday. But we will see.

excellent

Post by **dng** » Fri May 28, 2021 11:01 am

by my calculations in the next round you'll come minus 2nd

Post by **blombluss** » Fri May 28, 2021 7:38 pm

I fully approve of Vom's trajectory!

Post by **vom** » Mon May 31, 2021 8:43 am

Next Nur Ein song is up, it's here again:

upward trajectory continues. I must ruin it

Post by **dng** » Thu Jun 03, 2021 5:37 pm

hooray

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jun 03, 2021 6:20 pm

Huzzah! Also, if you want to ruin your music, may I recommend adding that sodding reggaeton beat to your work!

Post by **vom** » Thu Jun 03, 2021 7:29 pm

you may

Post by **vom** » Thu Jun 03, 2021 7:30 pm

maybe that's the key to unlocking this next song I'm writing

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Jun 05, 2021 12:46 am

From Reggaeton to Reggaevom.

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 07, 2021 6:14 am

Song 4 is up. Sadly no reggaeton but it does feature an interlude of my friend Mo swearing in Chinese

also I'm the guest, speaking intentionally bad German on the Lowest Bitter song of the same name (Pleasant Row)

Jolly good, that!

Also - every song should feature a Chinese swearing interlude!

Also sehr gut!

Thank you Davids!

Apparently the next song has to be written in the form of a Rondel, which is exciting because what is a Rondel

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 07, 2021 9:59 pm

its something that is round

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 07, 2021 9:59 pm

that presumably doesn't help much

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 14, 2021 10:08 am

Here's my rondel

https://nure.in/titles/D3F5DB2A29C93896017136E83063396D

I changed my style a bit for this round

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:51 am

excellent. its great

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 14, 2021 11:52 am

so what was a rondel in the end?

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 14, 2021 1:15 pm

it's a type of poem with a fixed rhyming scheme

also thanks!

Post by **endar** » Mon Jun 14, 2021 1:58 pm

Rondel of Blood

Also hooray!

The way most of the competitors are "being judged" makes me think of a Franz Kafka story, only about a trial where the already-found-guilty parties must write and record songs after being woken in the dead of night, and then no one will give them useful feedback

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 14, 2021 4:39 pm

The only thing I'm guilty of if is stealing the drums from Lust For Life

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 14, 2021 4:39 pm

Also many other crimes

Choon Vom choon!*

*Once I'd listened to the correct (Budget Bears) track!

Post by **vom** » Thu Jun 17, 2021 10:49 am

I have been eliminated! I am quite relieved. I had no ideas for the next round and would much rather watch football and drink afternoon beers.

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Jun 18, 2021 1:16 am

Hurrah for football, beer, and relieved-ness, bad luck on the elimination, Sir! Tis their loss, not yours!

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:24 am

this is not a vomsong but it's by my Vowl Sounds bandmate (who is still in the contest) and it is wonderful

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 1:43 pm

Hooray. It really is wonderful

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 1:43 pm

She better win

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 1:46 pm

I agree

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 1:46 pm

the challenge was to make a song that synced up to that particular video, in case that wasn't clear

I'm glad I was eliminated because that sounds like hard work

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 2:04 pm

Also that video is this film (the fall of the house of usher)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxjCWleWXf4

which i once saw with a live soundtrack being performed for it and it was incredible

(by this man, who really loves vincent price: http://www.jasonfrederick.co.uk/blog/ )

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 2:10 pm

hooray

I identified it as that film but have not seen it

apart from this clip

about eight times

Post by **vom** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 2:10 pm

I'm not sure why they used a clip in the wrong aspect ratio with that "retro" logo embedded in it, when the actual film is in the public domain anyway and better versions are easily accessible

Post by **dng** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 2:27 pm

It is the modern way

Slightly Trip-Hop-py/cinematic Shoegaze-y, is a very big win for me - excellente!

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Jun 29, 2021 2:55 pm

And only 19 views?!? Criminal, that!

Nice one!

Post by **vom** » Mon Jul 12, 2021 10:15 am

I played synths and sang backing vocals on the Dadatheque song in the current songfight:
http://songfight.org/currentsong.php

it's an odd one

Post by **dng** » Mon Jul 12, 2021 5:31 pm

i liked that

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Jul 12, 2021 7:22 pm

Odd, but good! *approovs*
