Getting promoted + attendant work insanity + not knowing anything about Garage Band before I agreed to this + not having any musical ability or understanding beyond a listener = this was a very bad idea. Maybe this album really needs to broken up by a brief interlude track.

it'll be mostly interludes at this rate
submitted, btw (not an interlude)

Got the backing track ready ('ready'). Now all I gotta do is the vox! I'm kind of pissed at myself for not spending more time on this. I wanted to do an epic sounding track and ended up doing something very minimal. Also, I'm pretty sure I stole the chorus from somewhere, I always do that. The verses too, probably.

Just about to send.
I wanted my friend to sing on it but we couldn't manage it, which is a shame.
I tried to make it sad, which it is (kinda) but it's nothing like PSB, perhaps if they were on ECM.

My "Happiness" turned out more sinister than happy tbh.

I woke up with the awful thought i'd forgotten to have a bassline. There is a weird bassy phrase but ... is it still sunday, should I fix it?
― bert newtown, Sunday, 28 February 2016 20:36 (eight years ago) link
Totally fine for a last minute fix! I'm pretty tired today -- yesterday was busy with a lot of things, including two shows -- so I might not get around to actually putting everything together until tomorrow.

Submitted!

just got to do a final edit ... they should rename ableton live, ableton lol

What I originally planned as a sequel to "Paninaro" ended up being a google-translate italian spoken word melodrama. Oh well
― daavid, Monday, 29 February 2016 08:03 (eight years ago) link
Okay at this point I have nine out of twelve -- sorry to not be more up on this, completely exhausted yesterday. If you're still running late, get them in to me by tonight if you could!

Okay a quick update -- I'm missing Tomboto's song (but he's here in SF for the week so I'll check with him) and Gubke's.

Still waiting on Gukbe and Tombot here...
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 7 March 2016 03:52 (eight years ago) link
at this point the thing to do is two spoken-word interludes and done tbh
― Laertiades (imago), Monday, 7 March 2016 08:00 (eight years ago) link
and by that i mean 'take your time, it's fine, don't replace my own track with a spoken-word interlude, sorry'
― Laertiades (imago), Monday, 7 March 2016 22:02 (eight years ago) link
i will do a track with a computer voice reading imago's greatest ilx posts
― sarahell, Tuesday, 8 March 2016 01:57 (eight years ago) link

can i make changes to mine?
― sarahell, Thursday, 10 March 2016 21:22 (eight years ago) link
If you like. At this point if I don't get anything by Saturday I will release it over the weekend. (Sorry Gubke and Tombot but the time is nigh.)
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 March 2016 22:48 (eight years ago) link
I have a zombie bikers ride thru town sounscape itching for a voice over if gubke or ned would...or anyone really. It'll work along the lines of able ton.fuckno as earlier described.
― bert newtown, Friday, 11 March 2016 13:27 (eight years ago) link
No last-minute drama?
― Laertiades (imago), Sunday, 13 March 2016 19:18 (eight years ago) link
Nope, so I'm going to give what I have a last listen through then upload later this afternoon or tonight.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 13 March 2016 21:19 (eight years ago) link
please do spoken-word interludes for 'groovy' and 'undertow'* if you can :)
*the liner-notes to the tool album maybe?
― Laertiades (imago), Sunday, 13 March 2016 21:32 (eight years ago) link
My apologies for not being able to help with Bert's request -- fuller last few days than expected.

Well, I didn't get around to this in a timely fashion, but I did end up with lyrics. Maybe this will end up as a series of audible waves one day.
