Strike a chord - for the one chord fest

[bruno]

Using the chord of E minor - using the bass line to get some movement :-)
I can imagine this with some vocals - I tried some, but it sounded a bit naff - so left them off.
Song built around a bespoke multi-waveform flanger built by Paul. A crazy pedal!!!!

Update 12/Mar ...

Thanks all for the comments - appreciated as always.

Here's the details of the flanger

see http://electricdruid.net/flangelicious-a-super-dooper-flanger/

Technically, all based on the e minor chord - however this is hard. If you change the voicing of the chord (eg the bass note), then it can morph into an inversion (essentally a different chord - damn that music theory) - so is that still an single chord??? This makes this fest really quite difficult - and also, at the same time, quite interesting as a writer of songs. My big learn from this (and I kind of knew this anyway - but it is a great reminder), that you dont always need to change the chord, but change something else around the edges. I'm not 100% convinced, you see, that this meets the single chord fest, although I know that the core of the song was a single chord, as I know what I played   - however why do I have this unease about meeting the fest-criteria, and that is an interesting thought!!!!

Details are three stereo guitar tracks, core track is a heavily flanged track, the second is the lead and very clean, and third follows the lead but is a messed up "Dirty Robot" sound (I really like that pedal), played but tracking around 1 bar behind kinda following the lead. All dripping in delay and heavy reverb for good measure.

So cool - this hums right along and unless I was listening for it, I'd never expect it was only a single chord. Guitar & bass sound fantastic.

[Farrell Jackson]

That was excellent Bruno...and all from one chord!

Brilliant Bruno,
As Cuthbert said if you were'nt listening for it you would never guess it was only one chord..
Well done....

Magical stuff! A really atmospheric vibe on this one. I love the way it's layered & that bass riff & drums just propel it along brilliantly!

Wow, off the charts good. I am so thrilled with what folks are doing with this fest.

Oh man this is so good my brother. Spy movie stuff all the way and so creative around 1 chord. I thought about the fact that with every non chord tone I added it Technically changed the chord but I think if there is an instrument Cleary keeping the rythm and progression to 1 chord the rest is production. When a guitarist writes a melody we don't say it changes the chord progression...except for jazz I guess.
Well done brother.
Rock on!
