I blame my dog for how this improvisation turned out!! :P
Wanted to send you guys a Christmas greeting but he messed it up... :/
..anyway..
blame me for putting it out!! :D LOL
(just to show how stupid I can be when creating stuff...)
Merry and fun Holiday Season to all of you!!
(I'll continue with stuff after holidays)
Tim started it with a guitar riff. I thought mmmm perhaps we could try a Christmas song with it. Set to writing some lyrics, getting a structure and putting some music and a vocal down. Thought we had finished then had the thought of inviting Christine (Buttercup) to sing on it. We got talking about her daughter Emily (Sweetie) who sings also and is aged 11. Then I thought why not ask Emily to sing on it also. Well blown away by Christine's vocals and even more so by young Emily's take on things as I had never heard her sing before. Personally I could not be more happy with the results. Thank you both so much.
There are various versions on the 'files' page, e.g stripped back versions but here is a full mix version.
Merry Christmas all.
Here's To Christmas Time - ecopunk feat. Christine and Emily
Looking to collaborate with professional singers/songwriters who are creative in writing lyrics. I have some song ideas, but I'm not great with writing lyrics. My skills are more with the music side of it. I want to write some hits!! Serious inquires only. I play acoustic/electric rhythm/lead guitar, and pedal steel guitar.
Well my back has been out for 2 days, so just laying around listening to various artists. Came upon this, and was entertained for sure. Really liked the "Family Man" song they did together.
Of all songs on Kompoz I played over and over in 2019 (including JustVera;-), 'Under me' probably is my all time favorite. 'just a rokNrol venture...' Are you kidding? ENCORE GUYS!
How about you?!
Ok, I finally understand what you guys mean when you say there's no way to search for a specific talent. What's the best way to find a producer? Is there a group for that?
Hope everyone's having a happy holiday season! I miss you guys, and though I've needed to separate for a bit on my own, I can't wait to be back here after Christmas or whenever. :)
This is not music related, but you guys are great friends and I've been having this little contest among family and friends. A little coiled-up ball of joy was found in my stockings early this Christmas, and I'm desperately in need of help with naming her. lol
How about - to keep it music related - we come up with a musical name for her? :D
As soon as I can get to my computer today I'll be working on a new project. The title will be To Be Determined/ Runnin' for My Life.
People use TBD all the time when they're not sure what the name of the song will be. In this case, the song is all about to be determined, because the outcome is unsure. Will they run or will they stand their ground? Looking for a producer and some Chester vocals that I can support with my own sweet southern sass. Remember, I wasn't always a New Mexican! :)
Sad news, I'm afraid. Neil Wilson, known as rolf , is ill and unlike to be able to return here for a while, if at all.
He's loved his years on Kompoz, so thank you everyone who's helped create K-Town magic with him.
I'd love do an upbeat collaboration with all the many people who have made music with him over the many years.
My idea is to start a collab called "Thinking of you", that we can share with him, as it progresses, sharing our thoughts. Anyone interested? Please PM me for more details, or if you've got any messages for him.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I've known Neil for almost 40 years, and am still processing this. It would great to cheer him up.

Hey Kompoz,
I havent been around all that much lately but here I am. :)
This is me having a blast with fusing some old dead styles with some newer stuff.
If anyone wants to have a go with the Vocals it would be awesome.
And if there is a drummer brave enough to try replace the stupid drum machine I will be more that happy to create a bedtrack.
Peace! :)
Recruiting hip hop/trap producers for a producer group(like 808 mafia) I?ve been producing for 10 years so it would be nice to have people with similar experience.
