24 Hours, May 2009
fish across face:
Must be quite a different thing doing 4 x 6 hours (or 6 x 4 or whatever) compared to however many you can manage within one 24 hour period.
Thrillho:
Originally we were going to do the 24 hours thing, but we had other commitments, so we're doing it in different times.
To be fair, we reached the 20 minute time limit yesterday in just the six hours. We thought we lost everything we did yesterday but it turns out we didn't; we're leaving half of it off anyway because the album evolved into something else today. But I might put up two albums - the finished album and the 'deluxe edition bonus disc' with all the outtakes we don't use on it.
Christophe:
I think breaking up the 24-hour limit into chunks would actually be beneficial. I might do it too-start off with an hour and a half of drum tracks, then actual songwriting...
fish across face:
Yeah, not being critical of it, just thinking out loud... you're basically guaranteed much better results and a more chilled out time of it.
Trying to get something done in a given 24 hour period means you can't spend 24 hours on the music, for a start... although if you don't sleep, eat, fap, poo, etc. it could be pretty exciting to hear the results. :lol:
Also you've got much less opportunity to reflect on what you're doing, nut your way out of apparent impasses, take a break when you're fucking over it, etc.
I'm thinking I'll give the 24 hours real time version a go, because it's the constraints of that particular challenge that sound like the most fun to me. It'll have to be the last weekend of the month if I do it.
StaedlerMars:
Crap, I've snapped my high e string, but I have plans for sunday with a friend to do this. We're booking the student radio station's recording studio, because neither of us has a mic. Yay plans. I am bringing in everything that might be an instrument.
