The NACA Music, Art & General Creativity Thread

[C R]

If I'm posting on this thread, then I've probably got another song to plug.

Well, yes. Yes I do.

So if I can have a minute of your time - well, eleven minutes, actually - stick this on a big screen & big speakers/headphones, and indulge me. I'm very, very proud of this - possibly the most challenging & involved composition I've been involved in and one of the only ones I can listen back to & not think I could do better.

I fücking love this, & hope you will too. And you know how it goes - if you do, tell your frends, if you don't, tell your enemies.

11 minutes well spent. Thank you.

Most excellent. I think you could afford to bring the vocals up a little in the mix and I think there's room for a rocking top line at the end of the chorus which would be cool.

Panorama have done a show about algorithms and how they affect your mind. I haven't seen the show yet, but their investigations are usually spot on.

Shame that CXR didn't stick around long enough to be pointed in the programme's direction, he might have learned something.

Don't be silly.

How did that get recommended to you?

They were talking about it on the radio. National radio no less.

Proof that the main stream media is a deep state cell operating to undermine the noble work of truth seekers and the enlightened.

It's no surprise that "Panorama" is an anagram of "Paranoia" albeit with some letters missing and another added.

Not the finest statue of Her Maj.
I would have no idea who this was if it wasn’t for the corgis and a half decent rendering of Prince Philip.

What are those poor flag shagging monarchists going to cry-w*nk over next?

The full statue is pretty good I reckon. She's looking at things, he's looking down at them, which is generally the impression I got from them.

The quotes from the article are hilarious. Particularly from Cheryl and Gordon.

That said, it must be a slow news day when the Beeb are reporting on Facebook comments.

Edit because "cry-fiddle" while pleasingly ridiculous doesn't quite convey what I was going for.

My favourite is:-

Antrim and Newtownabbey councillor Vera McWilliam told BBC News NI: “We have to be honest, it does not resemble the queen in any shape or form.”

Perhaps she's a David Icke fan and thought they should be displayed in their Lizard form? I did some googling and I'm pretty sure the Queen and Prince Philip were usually photographed as humanoid just like the statues, and often dressed as the statues are dressed etc

 

[Ian H]

There's a vague likeness, but it's still a piece of pointless public sculpture, with all the clichés. Perhaps it should have been done in heroic Greek fashion, with naked figures - you'd have to shave the corgis.

That really is quite staggeringly terrible. Looks like Dave - a roofer who sometimes likes to dress as one of the lay-deez.

If you're going to make statues of public figures it needs to be either a good likeness or abstract enough for it not to matter. I'm not sure getting a bloke who normally does chess pieces was the best choice of artist.

If he'd done her as an actual chess piece it could have been amazing.

 

[AuroraSaab]

Yeah, or an actual chess set looking like that would've been cool too. As it is it's up there with Ronaldo's similitude.
