ILX pre-covers Aphex Twin "SYRO"

I will assemble and upload the tracks this time. Here are the guidelines:

* Covers doesn't have to sound like Aphex Twin. They can sound like whatever youwant.
* I would like to return to the Lulu precovers guideline of having the covers match the running time of the actual song. I think this is a fun restriction, though it will be challenging since some of these are pretty long. Running times are on the tracklisting below.
* There will be a strict deadline of 11:59 PM CDT on Monday, Sept. 15th. I would like to get the album up on Sept. 16, a week ahead of the official release date.
* Completed tracks should be sent to me at: naamme at gmail dot com

Here is the tracklisting. Please claim tracks below.

Dude, this is NOT a hornet's nest you want to poke, trust me on this one (personal experience).

(But if no one else claims it, I'll take 12 aisatsana [102] 5:21.)

:D

I'll take 9 syro u473t8+e [141.98][piezoluminescence mix] 6:32, cheers

Do we have to do it at the same BPM? That would be a lot of fun, actually.

Ha, thank you for taking the bull by the horns on this one, NA. But shouldn't this be on ILM?

Oh I didn't think about that. Let's not make it a requirement, but it can be a recommendation or a bonus challenge.
xpost

Should it be on ILM? Are there enough people who only look at ILM that it matters?

yeah good shout. any way to amend the OG post with BPMs?

they're already there aren't they

The BPMs are in the original post. They are the numbers in square brackets immediately following the track name.

I'll take 4 bit 9d api+e+6, thanks

Anyway, threw in a link to the ILM Aphex thread, that should take care of it.

See y'all in a few weeks.

Yeah, you know someone's gonna have to send a motorcycle courier round South London to pry some unrelated DAT out of my hand the day of the deadline...

I have hundreds of hours of pre-covers of this album just sitting around at home. Some may make it out on a future album, other stuff may never be heard.

How do I shot sanding disc to Web?

o

is this album going to be mischievously circulated on the deep web under the false pretence of being the LEAKED actual aphex twin LEAKED 'syro' album?

Missed this :(

this did a good job of keeping me out of beautiful weather over the weekend

Guys, I'm just going to acknowledge that there is no realistic way I am going to actually do this.

There is no amount of staring at an empty DAW that is going to make music happen in my life any more.

So I'm just going to throw this one back in the pot and someone else can have a go at it instead.

Very sorry for wasting your time.

i'll have to give up my spot too. sorry :(

i'll take "180db_"

actually i'll grab "aisatsana" i think i'll need the extra two minutes

i'll take crut's spot ("180db_"), if no one objects

fyi the DJP entry is actually going to be DJP/jjj/EZSnappin

so expect a nice calm ballad obv

i expect it to be syrobonkus

sent!

Is everybody using the appropriate BPM?

ballparked it... my beat making thing doesn't have a bpm readout

i'm trying to stick to bpm and length.

^^^

As will I

K. Me too.

sent

uploading what I'm telling myself is a failsafe draft for now. but will probably end up being final.
this was difficult! my track is still a jumble! but, fun to make anyway.

submitted!

*collapses facedown in pizza*

rough sketch done, mostly happy with the first half, gonna tinker with the second half

So, how many in and how many left?

I burst into tears when I heard the finished version of mine. I had it on full volume and barely heard my neighbour knocking on the door. I told him I couldn't turn it up any louder no matter how much it reminded him of his mother.

Hey all, I've been dealing with a family emergency for the past couple days and I haven't had a chance to work on this. I might be able to throw something together tonight but if anyone else would rather take a shot at it, please feel free.

I believe this is what I have so far:

10 PAPAT4 [155][pineal mix] 4:18 - CHINAVISION!
12 aisatsana [102] 5:21 - DA CROUPIER

This is what I'm missing:

2 XMAS_EVET10 [120][thanaton3 mix] 10:31 - CRACKLEBOX/SEAN CARRUTHERS/ME?
6 CIRCLONT6A [141.98][syrobonkus mix] 6:00 - DJP
7 fz pseudotimestretch+e+3 [138.85] 0:58 - STEVIE D(EUX)
11 s950tx16wasr10 [163.97][earth portal mix] 6:01 - CWKIII

Oh oh oh, I was just lamenting that I wish I'd been able to do it, just so you are not waiting around hoping I might actually be submitting a track 2, unless you really want something crappy I throw together in a panic tonight!

CIRCLONT6A will be delivered tonight.

looking forward to hearing this now.

I'm psyched for this. I'll go ahead and cancel my Aphex Twin preorder.

I guess the advantage of me trying to work on the longest track is that if someone else does it, I can cut mine down to six minutes and take CWKIII's spot if necessary.

excited to hear fz pseudotimestretch+e+3 [138.85] 0:58

N/A, make sure you speed it up to match the BPM first! Should wind up about the right length that way anyway

Oh I forgot about that. Good point. I don't know if I can since I've been recording on tape, but maybe.

I haven't listened to any of these yet. I might not listen until it's actually uploaded and released. Or I might never listen.

I bet this is what it's like when Rick Rubin's your producer.

Steve Albini played Scrabble on Facebook almost the entire time [we were recording]. I don't even know if he remembers what our album sounds like.

i'm almost done!

i basically tried to make it sound like if stereolab were listening to "freak" by lfo a lot when they were recording peng! and had also literally never recorded a single song before in their entire lives

so

oh and also if they recorded and mixed and exported it entirely on their iPhone

Well, then

C'MON, I REALLY WANNA HEAR THIS NOOOW!

YEAH WHAT GIVES

ugh wake me up in 14 years

11 s950tx16wasr10 [163.97][earth portal mix] 6:01 - CWKIII

If Cracklebox, Sean, and/or CWKIII can check in and just say if they've got something coming or not, that would be appreciated.

Also if I can check in and say if I've got something coming or not, I would appreciate me.

C'mon folks. NA isn't asking for much.

just fyi DJP track is DJP/EZ SNAPPIN/JJJUSTEN

also i have offered (via DJP) to edit one of my submitted "songs" down to whatever length to fill a missing track if needed. not sure they have a BPM per se. break glass only under desperation.

OK cool. I'm not doing anything with this until tonight anyways so hopefully we'll hear from dudes today.

at the end of a labyrinth that can't even be discovered without highly leveled perception skills, there's a chest marked "Plan Z" - inside it you will find a 6-second clip of a dog panting heavily that can be looped to fill in for any tracklength

it miiiiiight be pretty avant garde to use 10+ minutes of dogpanting for the second track, just saying

fuck maybe I should have added more bathos to mine and made it a good lol :-/ sorry every1 i've failed us all

you made the deadline, though! clearly not a failure

As of right now I have nothing coming.

push harder

save us, n/a!

OK cool. I'm not doing anything with this until tonight anyways so hopefully we'll hear from dudes today.

what timezone r u in & when is official sundown

j/k ;)

So at this point if someone has a 6:01 track of anything they want to send me that would be cool.

sarahell just gchatted me (after i alerted her to this) saying that she will have done something by the end of the night west coast time

Rad thanks.

that is "night" defined loosely -- as in before 6am

imago if you're still reading, if you are able to send me your song in smaller format (like mp3) it would be appreciated.

xpost that's fine! thanks

done :)
