Howdie, iīm new here...

I think it would be a neat idea to just share any tracks, songs, eps, whathever that we made...

I have an EP to share. i made it in some sort of contest where you should make an EP in only 1 week. i kinda like the results, 3 tracks, they told me it sounds a lot like explosions in the sky and gybe. i recorded all the guitars, bass, and stuff. my fave one is the 2nd one.

you can grab them http://www.danteinferno.net/weekep/ here if you wish.

^_^ anyone else has their mp3s to share?

cheers.

[Hatebunny]

I've got a bit of stuff from my new album
(when I say 'new album' I mean fourth CD that I've produced myself, and probably won't ever sell, because no one wants to sign me.)

anyway, a few of the songs are on this website here:

http://mixposure.com/aetherius

and there's a link to my older music related site on there for anyone who's interested in hearing a wider variety and hearing the progression from 'sucks' to 'sucks slightly less.'

It's sort of electronic, but not really.

[Saturday]

i really liked how do you work with the drums and the small sounds and noises, they have nice textures and sound a bit organic.
some songs sounds a bit like they might need some good vocals. a nice shoegazy singing would fit reaaally well in "New hope for the heartless" for example. i donīt like much the pad sounds, but iīm  a junkie for nice pad sounds ( like the one the boards of canada uses )

[MilkmanDan]

That's possibly because Boards of Canada produce perfect songs. So of course the pad work is perfect as well.

Anyway, I liked both of your stuff. I was pleasantly suprised and impressed. Definately orth checking out, and it reminds me that I need to get off my ass and finish a few (rubbish) tracks I've been working on. So yeah. Woo.
I must admit, I wasn't loving it quite as much as Mercurial's stuff, but he doesn't seem to be posting any more, so you can take his place as 'forum members who make good music'.

[Hatebunny]

That first track is pretty good, Saturday. Reminds me of a mix of Radiohead instrumentals, The Album Leaf, and...something else.
I like the second track better, though. Much more oriented toward my style of music with the piano in there, making everything sound a bit sadder.
I like the last track a lot too. It reminds me a lot of sigur Ros or godspeed you Black emperor (moreso the latter.) I'd buy your album, I think, if you sold one. I'd love to know how you pull off that whiney E-bow type sound in the background of the last song. ...Yes, this is definitely my favourite of the three tracks. It'd be nice if you could get the recording to sound a bit more high-end. It's a bit muffled, but I suppose that's what being indie's all about...

edit: might just be my dad's shitty speakers. I'll give it all a listen again when I get home.

Thanks for the comments!... and yup the third track is almost a gybe ripoff...
iīm planning on making an album, but it will be different. It will be a pop-rock album, basically, just all songs with verse-chorus structure, and with guest singers. iīm pretty happy for now with the songs. perhaps all the other instrumental tracks that i make can fill an album of sorts.
The E-Bow type sound in the background is the easiest trick ever.. i use it in the 3 tracks i guess... just using some very nasty distortion with LOADS (i mean loads) of reverb with my guitar. so much reverb that the original (dry) signal is lost. then you play high in the fretboard and thatīs it.
i use a behringer v-amp 2, and use the marshall or mesa boogie models for distortion, then the highest option for reverb, turned fully on, and thatīs it. i guess you can achieve the same effect with any distortion and reverb effect. hope it helps.
about the production: yup itīs not perfect and it needs more of a balance in the highs and mids. i just bought my first studio monitors some months ago and these tracks were the first thing i mixed with them, and also in a short time (everything done in week) so it could be much better of course.

[suicidebears]

i have a couple projects.  i'm a drummer.

my main band is called scales of motion.  kinda post-hardcore, kinda indie rock, just listen.  it's good songwriting.  http://www.myspace.com/scalesofmotion

i was in a band called oxus serves alexander, we were off and on for about two years, and the end result was that we recorded our best song in a recent session for another project i was working on.  the oxus is technical hardcore.  i also did vocals.  http://server3.hxcmp3.com/bands/26550/index.php

my last band is called copycopy.  it's kinda just weird hardcore punk that's just fun and goofy, slightly refused influenced but harder edged.
http://www.myspace.com/copycopy

listen and comment plz.  i'd like that.

[Saturday]

i dug the bass, drum and guitar work, but i find that the voice is lacking a bit. nothing serious, but maybe it sounds a bit too 'average' for my taste.
the rest of the band is really tight which i dig. the passage between different parts is well done too.

[Hatebunny]

heh, Saturday, I'd love to collaborate with you, somehow on some instrumental style stuff. I'm not that skilled a guitarist or anything, but I've had about 5 years of experience in terms of digital music and recording. I could program some crazy drums, or ambient effects, or just...throw whatever on...and I could do some digital editing and mastering as well.

Just a thought...*Shrugs*

Oh, thanks for the instruction on the E-bow...It just doesn't come out the same way on my guitar. :/ My amp doesn't have it's own reverb effects, so I'm running it through a zoom607 Bass effects pedal, which is quite different, but it still sounds cool. I might be using it sometime.

[yipjumpmusic]

saturday: can't seem to get onto that site

hatebunny: not my usual stuff though not outside my range.  Overall not bad at all, good in fact, and I agree the first is my favorite though a couple others were at least up there trying to compete for 1st


suicidebears: only this much cause you asked for comment

honestly not into your current band.  The first lyrics for the first song seem kinda pretentious I mean that in an all constructive criticism like attitude.  The music itself does not do much for me either though that is partially just personal taste.  Also, not sure if I can explain this right but I like the music in a way...but not what was done with it, hmm...did not feel in touch at all with the attitude projected by the songs which would include things like the singing, song structure, so on.

Not into much hardcore but that one is my favorite of your music.

The third listed kind of the same feeling as the first though maybe I was slightly more into it.  I do like that middle part in Inca vs Aztec where the accordion or whatever it was came in.




Some day I will post my music and get my criticism but nothing is done so guess that is postponed.

hmm saturday I like.

[La Creme]

If I had recording stuff, I would do a shitload of recording of all the stuff I make with just my guitar and my DD-6. God bless BOSS.

[Kai]

If I had a cheap microphone (My old one broke) I could record a bunch of shit. Basically, imagine a mandolin, a guitar, a bass, a keybaord, and an accordian rocking out.

Thanks for the offer, i love to work with other people but iīm actually without time for myself. i have a 9hour work, iīm currently recording an album, going to singing lessons, and doing some freelance work, so doing just another proyect would be way too much for this moment.
For the E-bow Sound, just any Distortion + Delay/Reverb will work. It might be possible that your bass fx pedal dont have some big delay reverb.. any guitar fx pedal could do the trick. or even a Boss Distortion + Boss Delay/Reverb thing.

[KharBevNor]

I've done stuff in a few different genres, all of it vaguely electronic though.

Cybergrind:

Eye Socket Sodomy

Kinda-Industrial/EBM (I have more generic tracks, just not online.)

Ich Bin Das Nacht

Empire of the Daleks

Neo-Folk:

Endless Pagan Forests

Soundtrack/Ambient:

Vinland

Oceanus Procellarum [Lunar Midnight Version]

Post-Black Metal?:

The Wasp Factory

Goa/Stupid:

Deathcrush [Genocide on the Dancefloor Version] (A Mayhem Cover)

Experimental/Multi-genre:

Death No More a Casket [Demo Version]

I'm considering splitting up into a variety of different projects, especially when I start getting my act together on more folky and drone/sludge stuff (All my drone/sludge tracks are too long to put on soundclick, but are some of my favourite). But for now it's all Halo of Flies. There's a whole full-length demo floating about somewhere, I'll dig it up if I can be arsed.

And a few more

[Hatebunny]

hey saturday, when you say 'play around on the fret board' what exactly do you mean...apart from like...playing notes...

i was saying "play high in the fretboard", trying to say... play above the 12th fret.

[KharBevNor]

Hatebunny, I like some of your stuff quite a bit. The Piano in particular is particularly fine. It's obvious you can actually -play the keyboard. I don't have a keyboard and have to rely on sequenced synths, which tend to sound a bit stiff, and of course my theory isn't so hot. FEATIAEAOR in particular is damn nice in that way. What do you use for drums?

Oh, btw also, one thing I can do if anyone's interested is design work (cover art, photoshopped band photos, logos, whatnot) for anyone's band/projects if anyone's interested. I'd only want a fee if you were planning on selling the result, as exposure and the fun of doing the deed is easily enough for me otherwise.

[Hatebunny]

Unfortunately, I'll lose a bit of credit here, because my drums aren't real. heh. They're all programmed. My percussion is often a mix of recorded samples of real drums that I've made from friends, chopped up beats that are already out there, and recordings I've made of me just banging on whatever the hell I can find. Then I tend to add a bit of compression so they sound a bit less cruddy and a bit more industrial/grainy/boomy and distort them as I see fit. I just like to fuck around with stuff from everywhere I can find it.

Also, I'd love some semi-professional artwork, but It'd be a shame to waste it on me. heh.

Thanks for the comments, KharBevNor.

[KharBevNor]

Programmed drums are the only way to fly :p

I really need to record a good set of samples off of a friends drumkit, right now I just use virtual 808/909 and some other stuff. Oh, and a bit of found-sound. I have a Bodhran that's worked it's way into some tracks (Endless Pagan Forests for example) and I've used sticks, knives, claps, breathing etc. to create other effects.

[Kai]

sounds like 'They Might Be Giants' minus drums

TMBG rock out?

And if I were to put it under a genre, It'd totally be Thrash Polka.



Also: Khar, if I ever get around to recording anything and whatnot, I'd love to get some free cover art stuff! awesome.

[KharBevNor]

No probs.

On a related note, where's your avatar (which you have now changed) from? It bears a disturbing resemblance to my mysterious masked musical alter-ego Quietus:

Haha well...
I can say I take my music seriously but then again, its not serious music. I guess if you want to say who I sound like, Deerhoof would be the the closest thing. Deerhoof gone acoustic. Haha yeah! Well, want to hear some ACOUSTIC/EXPERIMENTAL? Enjoy!

hi byebyepanda, please take the image out of your sig.  we don't like them around these parts.  thanks!

It's actually the Nash the Slash logo emblem thing. Check him out if you want Canadian Prog Rock goodness. He plays a mandolin and a violin rather than guitars!

Also: I want a gas mask.

[MuggleFX]

I have a few aliases that i go by:

MuggleFx(drum&bass, breaks, noize): This is the project that I'm really focusing on- http://www.soundclick.com/mugglefx]Mugglefx

2+4=OK (rock/funk/jazz): Making organic music with a computer
http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3JE3496626QNR07SS4E653MWAM "Asskick Can"... an uncompleted track, don't know what to add

Cloey Montez(very new)= chilled varients of hiphop/drum&bass/ambiant (looking for a female vocalist): no tracks yet

I use Reason 3 for everything (except samples and some fooling around with a cool prog called Tu2)

[yipjumpmusic]

MuggleFX, not my usual stuff mostly but I liked it.  My favorite was Close Calls & Landslides.  The drum beat in Redemption sounded familiar at one point *shrugs* Don't really like funk either but I liked that one track.

[Hatebunny]

Oh, I also have some really horrible emo/bizarre rock excuse stuff up over here under the name of 'lagomorph'

It's all pretty lame, actually.

I recommend 'Sara' for anyone who...wants to hear the same four chords over and over.

[happybirthdaygelatin]

I've showed my crappy 12-bar blues to Ray, but that's about it. If the drummer and I found a guitarist that doesn't ditch the band a couple of weeks in, I would record and show youse guys.

To Saturday: The 1st track was my favorite.

It wasn't crappy.  As far as I could tell.  So far I listen to Panda's, Saturday's and Khar's tunes and liked them.

[yipjumpmusic]

hmm hatebunny not bad but just did not get into it.  Yeah, repeats so did you just not feel like making it go anywhere or just can't think of where to go with it, or wha...my songs (which are not finished at all as i said)  run into the, hmm so...what now...

[Hatebunny]

The driving force was the lyrics at the time, and I'd JUST got my electric guitar, so I was all 'OMG ELECTRIC GUITAR!' and so, not muhc imagination went into it. I may redo it in a completely different style...but probably not. It's just a stepping stone on the long long road to non-suckage.
