Re: Nuns song (14 replies, posted in Songwriting)
thanks guys, it was just a case of plonking out a few chords then sticking different instruments on over dubs. i'd never even thought of putting lyrics on it...something to think about though.

Topic: Nuns song (14 replies, posted in Songwriting)
hi guys, i was sitting at the piano and a chord sequence came to my fingers and developed into this track. i've called it "nuns song" because i had a track on my new CD called "monk song" and anyway i couldnt think of a title. so if you'd like to give it a listen and comment, please follow the link below.
thanks

Re: Ohms / Watts? (10 replies, posted in Recording)
i've been buying and using PA's and speakers since the 70's. as has been mentioned above leave a little head room, eg; 100 watt amp - 150 watt speakers (combined) for clarity of sound and avoidance of blowing the cones. back then we'd try to get the lowest ohmage to be able to push out the greater wattage. but with the last set of speakers i bought it seems to be the other way round?
must remeber that the size of your connecting leads also adds resistence, so the thicker the better.
EACH 8 OHM SPEAKER YOU ADD REDUCES THE OHMAGE ; 1 - 8 OHM SPEAKER = 8 OHMS. 2 8 OHM SPEAKER = 4 OHMS. 3 8 OHM SPEAKERS = 2.66 OHMS (or something like that).
best thing is to check out on-line tutorials if your still confused, i've tried to make it simple.

Re: song titles? (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
hi ark, yes it's true what you say, but how many times have you heard a song on the radio for instance and when you go to find it, it's not called what you thought it was, ergo; the hook! so the song was mistitled?

Re: song titles? (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
jon anderson paints beautiful pictures with his words; "mountains come out of the sky and they stand there..." he is well known for using words that sound good rather than have deeper meaning. though when you first read them they sound soooo deep and meaningful.
i've done a couple of instrumentals which i've dedicated to people rather than named them for how they sound or what they remind me of...

Re: song titles? (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
i had already decided to call the song "any minute now", which is the hook, i couldn't name it after the story (theme) as it hasn't really got a story line. it's not quite "do wah diddy diddy dum diddy doo" or "the birdies dance" it's slightly more intellegent, i just thought it would make a nice talking point.

Re: song titles? (22 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
therin lies the nub! if you have a good hook, the listener will remember the song from the hook, eg "lying eyes". other songs/music use the descriptive "apache" which has that native american beat. on the other hand...beethovens 5th?
