Hey there, I am normally not into Trip Hop, more a Blues and Rock Guy, came to your page through Mary`s recommendation, I have to say WOW, so creative, sounds amazing, voice extra great, your Video is really amazing, never saw that ball before, simply hillarious, the whole video is very entertaining and shows a lot of your talent. I am a fan, thank you for sharing...Greetings from Germany

@@RachelKCollierRKC I think you nailed the rapping because you half sang it, which probably felt more natural for you.......and it short bursts too.

sooo great - as always. Great to see how you adapt the Trip-Hop Concept and make this really cool track. Now...showing the other participants... Good Luck Rachel Ableton Collier

Of the four genres in this competition/event, this is definitely the one I am least familiar with, so I was worried I might not be able to enjoy it as much as the others - I can categorically state that that is not the case. That was a bloody great tune - nice one

Wow. That's a full production. Nice!

Hey there! 47 year old Dad of 2.. just signed up for your course.. i play the guitar (a bit) sing and write songs.. just found you and love what you do, so much so its inspired me to realise i can get playing again and create a full sound.... without the band! im assuming an launchpad mini mk3 is ok, oh, and have a jupiter xm too, been learning and practicing the keys too.. very excited old guy right here lol..

Wow - the entire journey with the ball to the final result was so fascinating. I have one more entry to see, but absolutely had to say that I enjoyed every second of 'To Be Or Not to Be'. Absolutely fantastic! I'm shocked I haven't seen a spoiler alert yet of who won the competition.

[@epic_fil]

I listened to all four wonderfully fun and quite British video entries, but I was chuffed to bits to vote for your lovely piece! I have some pretty good memories from the 90's that are powered by Portishead and Tricky, and your track was a proper homage and awesome song, so this was an easy call to make! 🙂

[@bluesmasterelf]

I watched all four productions, and I think this is my favorite track by a long shot. But not necessarily the most British sounding (as an American).

i think the vocals styled like sampled vocals would have been even better with some bitcrushing and akai style timestretching, though maybe that was never part of the trip hop sound i dunno

[@novataverner9238]

[@SoundslikeTunesTV]

Just enjoying your artwork. Video full of fun and passion. Please do not be mad I long for ANNI Wagstaff back up singing the hook with a very deep reverb and Sir Maxi Jazz "attempting" to rap. Please see it this way: You sketching the single parts impacts that professional I immediately hear the absolute voices matching on these parts. I really, really love your art and listening your voice on the verse causes absolute smile ;-) That peace right here is pure RKC Trip Hop!

[@RachelKCollierRKC]

Thanks! That would sound pretty cool 😎

[@DavidBeddard]

I really like this! I would have absolutely loved it if you'd peppered it with a few samples of your "oh gosh" here and there, with a little gramophone distortion and scratching. That would have elevated the track towards the heights of most British sound ever for me. Some other very British phrases like "nice cup of tea" or "calm down" would also have worked thematically. Love the overall vibe, though! And the lyrics work very well too.

[@RachelKCollierRKC]

Really love your stuff .. Music & films plus overall Vibe is really inspiring .. I think your Voice has become better & better with increased confidence etc & yes I know you use Fx .. I am old & have some slight physical disabilities .. so a lot of what you do is " beyond my personal comfort Zone " I have to have bigger controls & large screen .. But that does not stop me from loving the Sounds you make .. ( I think that ball thing need's an " Find my Ball " app lol ) Having been House bound for almost four years now it is lovely to see the outdoor films & I love the sense of Humour .. Although I don't think you should put yourself down ( self deprecating ) there are enough people who like to do that without giving them ammunition .. Just my personal suggestion .. Lot's of people like Humble / Humility ... I have been working on my studio for years now & have yet to produce anything I am really proud of yet .. maybe soon .. Anyway all the best & No reply needed . Big Love to you & Mary Look after yourself .. Bye from an old Scot's / Irish Muso Recluse in the Backwoods of Ye Olde Forest of Dean ..

Hi Rachel What a fantastic musical production and put together so fast. For fun try putting the ball in cardboard boxes of different sizes and rattling it around. A wood box would be great if you can find one. Or make a giant rattle with the ball in a box on a stick.

[@RachelKCollierRKC]

Thanks! Good idea will have to try that! 😄😄

[@stephenrussell6074]

@@RachelKCollierRKC I thought of a way to make it even more fun. Once you had it in a box go and visit a theme park and see what sounds the rides produce. You could catalog the sounds according to the ride and even compare theme parks. May give you themes for songs like roller coasters or spinning tops. Would get you some great B roll as well. You could go with friends to the different parks. If you let them know what you are doing you may even get additional access. I am sure the odd ball makers would find it interesting.

Push the vocals underwater a bit. Think of any track by Tricky! EDIT: Just got to the final version. Not very trip hop but definitely Rachel K Collier. But it's good to step outside one's comfort zone. Trip Hop has this alternative melancholic trap sound. Like moody female vocals in the background with spoken word verses with this slow beat and hats over everything.
