What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

www.myspace.com/ohthisisathing

I have two new songs up that use parts of the same guitar pat, "Metro Green Line" and "Metro Red Line". This has been my first week in the DC area and I finally had time today to make some new jams.

We have put four of the songs from our recent recording sessions up on our Myspace page:

My label has a new video:

Also I fuck with a velvet underground sample for dancing and then getting all sad and shit for "it's all in her".

bison would you be up for hanging out together on a weekday next week?
we don't have your info so you didn't get invited to U st late happy hour last night :(

Yes, I will be down, I have access to an automobile this week, which guarantees that I will get lost at least six times.

Williamsburg block party: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw2NUc1bC84

Parade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISeosYTy9T8

Israelis. They're everywhere.

(you guys sound fantastic, btw)

And I'm dumb for forgetting it was this week. I really need to keep better track of things on my calendar.

Anyway, this:

http://www.vimeo.com/clip:193162

Thanks dude. :> Where were the Israelis?!

At the end of the mermaid parade clip there's (what I assume is) an Israeli woman speaking into the camera in Hebrew - pretty cute too.

Oh, right.

I met some very cute Israeli women in NYC (also Israeli). :>

Another parade clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYeGrDWJbf0

Liking alot of these, er, keep up the good work people!

I am just plzd I got something halfway decent sounding out of guitar and voice on a laptop microphone. On a shitty laptop, no less.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/vyo80d

Just stuck the two tracks from our newest nostalgia-tinged double B-side on myspace: All-Star Wrestling/Morning Mist

www.myspace.com/sisterdjsradioband1

Here

we have a live set coming up on WPRB this Wednesday on the jon solomon show. http://www.wprb.com
http://www.keepingscoreathome.com

http://www.myspace.com/ohthisisathing

I finally recorded vocals for this 'plucky duck' song, it might be the first time I have used a swear? it is a song about libertarians mostly.

Fuk, I just heard the mix from the PRB show - the recording was completely butchered - it's like you only hear half a mix. ;_;

m bison, I dig those panned background vocal bits, it's sweet on headphones (and weed).

And that's a bummer hurting - was it mixed live and recorded to a single stereo track then?

yup

You can basically hear vocals and lead guitar really well (and lead guitar is mostly single-note lines that sound weird by themselves), the bass ok, the steel guitar a bit, the other guitar (which plays all the meaty chord parts) not at all, and in my drums you can barely hear the snare.

Here's a couple of my tracks, the most recent is more of a demo (the rest are mixed & mastered, newest being "Grunge regurgitation")
www.myspace.com/rossmontgomery
or www.operatorplug.com for more of a bio.

WPRB show can be streamed here:
http://keepingscoreathome.com/?p=295

Sounds better than I initially thought - not the greatest mix but I think the vocals come through really nicely.

That is kind of a weird snareless mix, but I don't think it sounds too bad. I just listened to the tune on your myspace, by the way, and I like it a lot.

This is such a great thread. I get to hear so much great music from you music-making types! As a special shout out though: Andi Mags, you are a genius.

xpost - They had the overhead mic pointed straight backwards to the wall because the mic stand was broken -- that may explain the lack of snare. ps thanks

I've just stuck up 4 demos on MySpace. They're not really finished and some of them are silly sketches, but I like them. Do you? http://www.myspace.com/mightysandyheathtransmitters

Listening to Andi Mags now - nice stuff!

And finally... Four new tracks up on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/exdetectives

sounds good

I can't remember if I posted this before but we added three live tracks to our myspace, including a cover of Hangin' on the Telephone:
http://www.myspace.com/thefakefictionsband

Oh and we're live on the radio tomorrow at about 1 p.m. CDT if anyone wants to listen. The station streams live, so you can listen on your computer. The info is in the newest blog posting on the above myspace page.

btw, all, if you get a friend request from Eclipse Music, that's me in store form.

The above post is me forgetting which email address I actually use when not making joeks on nu-ILX.

new old song, "Sirens" up:

http://www.myspace.com/clonefeed

http://www.myspace.com/anationmournsmusic

Last track of the four (new one)is just me and my jazzmaster - recorded yesterday. A bit rough, but....

http://www.myspace.com/ohthisisathing

song is 'baby when i found it', 10 extra bonus points to whomever can guess the sample

No clue what the sample is, but it's a cool track. I especially like the spacy stuff at the end.

Sounds good m bison! reckon it needs a vocal (preferably vocodered or really prince-ish) and it could be a hit.

We played our three newest songs live on the radio a couple of weeks ago, they are now up on our myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/thefakefictionsband. I'm especially happy with "Radical Movement."

I got drunkish once and made this 10-minute noise barrage in FL Studio (which I chopped in half, putting one half in each channel) but I'm too embarrassed to post it.

IMM HAS NO SHAME

There's no judgment here. This is a safe place.

Oh my god, it's giving me a headache listening to it and it's EXTREMELY loud/distorted and is simply the byproduct of 3 shots of rum with blue-raspberry lemonade kool-aid. Extremely fun to make, but a chore to actually listen to. and the channels are not sync'd properly.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/rtrnfk

to be honest I think I was trying to completely rip off of Yo La Tengo's "Spec Bebop"

Found a new home for rap beat depository:

http://www.myspace.com/chubsmckenzie

One of the songs uses cowbells pitched down to sound like steel drums (probably the only drum sounds I've actually recorded myself).

Hey, I made a new track - "These Once Were Men". I'm gonna add maybe some better drums and a few more lead vocals, but I'm pleased with how it is so far.

http://www.myspace.com/mightysandyheathtransmitters

My band is going in the studio in two weeks! Been waiting for this for, like, five years.

Which band?

Is the 0ptimistic still a going concern?

Digd0wn.

0ptimistic has not been very active at all but is still technically a thing. They played a show a few weeks ago but I had a gig with another band and couldn't do it.

http://www.vietgrove.com/sonix/panthea-01.mp3

The drums (cough) "need work". Like, a lot of work.

The other night I got a bunch of people round and had a drunken jam - people hitting pots and pans, me on guitar, flatmate on bass and a particularly good drummer friend of ours. Made a track totally on the spot, drunk out of our minds. Great fun really. It's up now as "Belligernet Cnt Jam 1" at The Mighty Sandy Heath Transmitters site. Have a listen, it's drunk and a good laugh.

That was excellent!

haha, cheers. Seriously?!

I like the distortion.

haha, cheers. Seriously?!

Yeah I'm serious. I can't hear what the singer is singing though, apart from one word which happens to be "motherf***er"! The distortion is at just the right level.

That was me singing. I was more or less yelping syllables over whatever it was we were making up. It was all recorded on the internal mic of an MP3 player, but it was pretty much as distorted as it sounds on the recording.

The bit with the "all right you motherfuckers" is an "introducing the band" bit, except I asn't actually saying anything other than "we've got duh on duh, duh over there on muuuh and me on mUUAAHH!"

Listening to Andi Mags now - nice stuff!

-- I know, right?, Sunday, July 29, 2007 9:42 PM (2 months ago)

I hadn't checked this thread for awhile. Thank you. Whoa. I'm working on some new stuff lately, so I will post more here when it's up.

We have done another drunk jam, and now it has its own site. http://www.myspace.com/belligerentaunts

All drunk/drinking improv jams

I have also done a Tiny Tim-esque solo cover of I Remember You by Frank Ifield. Forgot to take out the click track or even master it properly, but I think it adds to the jokesness http://www.myspace.com/mightysandyheathtransmitters

Audacity click track! One day someone's going to make a song where that's the only percussion, although it'll probably just sound like "Da Da Da".

Also, what MP3 player are you using? Just wondering as when I try doing field recordings on mine it sounds like garbage.

Creative Zen Vision M. I've only been using it for the Belligerent Aunt jams though. The Mighties is all recorded on computer using Audacity or Acid Pro and a Shure SM-58 for the vocals. I tend to record guitar straight into the soundcard as when I use an amp it gives off a ridiculous amount of hiss and buzz.

just finished a new song! it's really simple but i like it, you can listen here if you want: http://www.myspace.com/clonefeed. the song's called "Jellyfish"

This shouldn't count for "what do you sound like" but it's amusing so I'll post it here. As part of an exhibit on art and rock & roll at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, my band "rehearsed" in one of the artworks on Saturday. The artwork is a replication of the artist's old rehearsal space. It's supposed to be silent, with the instruments running directly into a mixer and electronic drums, and people can listen to the mix through headphones, but as you will hear, the vocals are obviously not silent:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySMKfHEpRh4

what do you not sound like on nu-ILX

I need to sit down and plow through this thread's links sometime. I just opened up latebloomer's "Jellyfish" just to get started and it's great! Love the energy level on all the Clonefeed tracks really. Are vocals in the future? These feel wonderfully like karaoke tracks from my next favorite band.

The Chubs McKenzie beats are nice too. Somehow I keep wanting them to be LODUER, which you'd think would be solved by me turning up the volume but somehow it isn't. Maybe I'm just craving more of the everything-besides-the-drums part of the sound, dunno.

"Baby When I Found Out" is cool. No guess at all on the sample but it sounds weirdly familiar in a good way.

negotiable, if you're out there, I'm very curious about your Acid mixy project as it sounds a lot like mine! The mainline Doctor Casino recording project is a little bit on the back burner right now, but: http://www.myspace.com/djaktorcosimo , I have been doing little mega-mashups in the Girl Talk tradition as a sort of diversion this school year...I somehow can't focus enough to work on my own songs so this is kind of fun in the meantime. Link from there to the Doctor Casino stuff if you're interested in my keyboard folk too.

Sample list o' samples (from "Hours & Hours")

Generation X, “Ready Steady Go” - Helium, “Lady Of The Fire” - Hall & Oates, “Portable Radio” - Pras, “Ghetto Supastar” - Fats Domino, “I’m Gonna Be A Wheel Some Day” - Jerry Reed (???), “When You Hot, You Hot” -
Paul McCartney, “Temporary Secretary” - Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, “Rag Doll” - Love Tractor, “I Broke My Saw” - Mark Morrison, “Return of the Mack” - De La Soul, “All Good” - Notorious BIG, “Mo Money Mo Problems” - Men At Work, “It’s A Mistake” - Percy Thrillington, “Monkberry Moon Delight” - Britney Spears, “Slave 4 U” - George Clinton, “Atomic Dog”

It's fun!

er...that should be "LOUDER" up there, although LODUER sort of sums it up too.

Hey hey I play bass in another band and we've just got the masters back from our album. You can hear three tracks at the website, or at the myspace.

You guys want to hear a rough mix from our last recording session y/n

I spent an eternity trying to get all the notes just right, but I will be using this from Kirby's Adventure in a song for my NaSoAlMo project. (This is the stage music from the Grape Garden level).

ps - nabisco's music is otm

http://www.sendspace.com/file/b087vf

Okay this is an actual song using said Kirby music, and is the first song on said NaSoAlMo album.

Yes, I recorded this for the Sufjan contest:

it's very earnest

(real strings or synth?)

Yeah, I didn't want to make it jokey. The strings are real.

My band pretending to play on famed public-access tv show Chic-a-g0-g0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTbC4m-7j2s. (Sound isn't that great, sorry)

OMG, n/a, that video is amazing. It makes me a little worried, but WOW that is fun.

I put up a new song (HAH song is pushing it, it's a minute and a half long). So, by tomorrow, when myspace finally processes it, it can be heard at www.myspace..com/andimags

Thoughts/feedback appreciated.

Hey go HERE if for some reason you want to hear a couple of my Christmas songs.

I like the video: n/a. Weren't you the one talking a while back about how your band had no stage presence? B/C you do seem to have it now.

I'm not sure what that colon was for though.

S-, what course is it you're applying for?

Weren't you the one talking a while back about how your band had no stage presence?

i don't think this was me

snoball, Sound Art. It's like painting... but for sound!

And I got it!

I am in a rock band. We have been playing shows for a year and a half or so. Sometimes people see us and say that we sound good but that we need more "stage presence." I guess they mean we should move around more and be more exciting. But we worry about THINKING too much about what we are doing on stage, that it will come across as too fakey and thought-out.
So how do you approach "stage presence"? Can you develop it?

Stage presence = drinking

oh that was back in the day. we have more stage presence (drinking) now.

though there was no drinking in that video because it was like 11 a.m.

but if it was taped at night you totally would have been drinking on the kids show.

The vocals are a bit difficult to hear during the verses. Maybe take off some of the reverb and bring them forward in the mix? Chorus sounds good and I like the piano.

excellent advice, thx

I has new song up: www.myspace.com/andimags

Some of us (they didn't want my glockenspiel non-skills, and our drummer lives too far away) put together a version of Last Christmas. 'We' then decided not to acually tell anyone, although it's supposedly going to be on some indie clubnight's xmas cd. It'd be a shame if no-one heard it though...

www.myspace.com/wintergreenband

nice -- good voice on that (i'm not familiar with your work so i don't know whose voice it is, but it got me all emotional).

Andi I love the spooky space in your piece. It feels like a haunted attic.

new single up at http://www.myspace.com/mamadigdown

that really sounds very good! got my coworker singin

myspace.com/marginz

aaaah pulling the trigger!!!

sounds good!

the songs could maybe use some more development in the drums though? it makes them seem kind of static.

yeah we were at the point of pulling our hair out and just wanting to be *done* with those particular demos so programming took a back seat near the end there. i totally agree that that drums probably need to be redone from scratch on all those tunes

Margins = fantastic. I can't work out if the production is terrible or awesome, in a Russian Futurists kind of way. Any chance I could remix "Never Too Late". It gives me all kinds of ideas.

Hey, it's Lynskey

thanks so much lynskey! (although i have to ask, what elements sway you towards 'terrible'? we are always looking for ways to make our music a little less terrible.) you are absolutely welcome and encouraged to remix it; what would you need to do so? the multitrack, or just an mp3? i think you can download an mp3 from the myspace; if not, or that's not what you need, just send a message on our site. thanks again!

EQ is boxy, the attributes of any reverb used seem to be pretty random, separation is woeful, vocals sound like the singer is trying to hide under a table in case anyone notices who he is, the dynamics suck, the distorted guitar sound has about as much prescence as an anemic ghost, that keyboard bass sound needs throwing down the nearest volcano, where's your snares at? . . . .

HOWEVER there's several serendipitous moments where it just seems to work really well, which is probably down to the strength of the ideas present more than anything. If you could send me the bits (and please send the vocals without verb) that'd be awesome. My emails in my profile.

Do you still have a myspace page or something Lynskey? I really dug the stuff you put up here a while back.

I had a Myspace but there's something so inspidly sinster, useless and naff about the whole thing that I got rid of it. Plus some theiving hippy (cunt still has my speaker stand) was plastering it with flyers for his godforsaken acoustic night.

New Year's show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PESn_gvHHyY

Took for ever, but we finally finished our last cd.

http://www.thecontestantsmusic.com/mp3s/08%20Cosmonaut.mp3

last as in "we won't be making any more"?

Oh we'll make more, but the Pro Tools learning curve slowed us up quite a bit. You know how it goes.

Lynskey, where can I hear your music now?

A short instrumental demo I just laid down. Kind of David Axelrodish:

i hope that works

Sounds good, Hurting. The reverbed-out cymbals are awesome.

thx. I was pretty surprised at how decent I could get the Garage Band synths to sound, especially the drums.

I wound up changing the mix a bit - I think the repeated piano pattern gets a little harsh so I pulled it down a little. I may turn it into a multi-part proggy suite I think. It's my first effort toward that RPM challenge thing.

Are the drums live or Garage Band?

i really just love GarageBand, and it surprises me

Drums are GarageBand, inputted with a keyboard (as in piano keyboard) interface

everything is garage band

everything.

Oh, I see, it was only the dynamics that made me think they might be live.

Dan I, Hurting - I've put a load of stuff up on my ftp here -

http://www.bilblio.nildram.co.uk/PORL/Lynskey/

I'd put the whole lot up if I had the room but I dunnae

Surmounter--that's a cool sound! Did you sample the voice or the strings or is everything from scratch?

it's really just from scratch! scratch being anything and everything u can futz with in GarageBand :-)

surmounter, that's pretty awesome, must say.

So wait, did you record your own voice and mess with it?

kinda sounds like burial ramzi

surmounter, that sounds hella indian on the singing front, and dope all around

http://www.myspace.com/ohthisisathing

got baby's first ambient techno (c'lapse) and my kirby's adventure sampling shit (grape garden) up and running now

thanks guys! yeah i recorded my voice and messed with it. and i totally felt the indian thing while recording!

I recorded a cover of Engine by Neutral Milk Hotel today.

mostly finished mix of one of the songs that will be on our album. we're still in the mixing process, which is the part i hate the most. basic guitar/bass tracks were recorded live w/ 2 drummers, vocals/gtr overdubs added later

http://download.yousendit.com/2C5F71C64A620F50

http://download.yousendit.com/D10BC5D62A570919

i sampled jorge ben's "umbabarauma" for a beat

^^sounds pretty cool once all the drum parts come in

Sounds like a great recording, 6335. I wouldn't stress too much over the mixing. You've got good tracks, that's the most important thing.

And that was cool, m bison. I like the stereo hi-hats.

My first (and so far only song):

http://www.myspace.com/stepdaughtersca

Heavy Pet Shop Boys/New Order influence.

Advice/criticism would be appreciated (pls don't be to harsh though, this was done entirely on midi with not very good quality sounds; I'm just starting).

My next song will sound even more Pet Shop Boys.

get rid of those claps or replace with tight synth sound! otherwise the song writing is good!

OK thanks, that makes sense.

i will listen when i get home! and i will be honest.

WHERE ARE MY "MARGINS"???????

i'm really into this song, david. it definitely sounds like it's influenced by New Order.

the synth/bass is completely great. the strings(?) feel right but could do with a little bit of variation. maybe u could blend them with a nice background synth in parts?

the percussion is fine, especially when you play with it, but the drums sound canned. but this might just be myspace sound.

the melody is really nice, and i like the epic feel of it, like it's taking its time until it gets to the chorus. but the vox should be clearer, and they should cut through the mix more. maybe with a phaser at times to vary up their position in the sound. i'd also just like to understand what you're singing better.

also, you could do with a little more oomph on the "i'm gonna be a star" line cuz it is one that can sound tired. i mean, i LIKE it, but at that point in the song, it feels like you could have a little more impact. i do think, though, that this could be achieved through singing the lyric a bit differently, if you're not up for altering the actual words.

maybe u could blend them with a nice background synth in parts?

or electric guitar?

Wow! thanks a lot Surmounter. That's definitely the most comprehensive and IMO best piece of advice I've heard so far!
I had a very limited palette of sounds I could use, yet I admit my limitations are precisely in the beat/drums section and the vocals; I mean, recording vocals is incredibly difficult. Like you did, I also felt like I wanted something else than the background synth strings at some points, but I just didn't know what to use. Overall I think I need to learn to "produce". Again, thanks a lot!

of course :-)

http://www.zshare.net/audio/7838222daa900b/

i s'pose this is just the skeletal version, but these days that's pretty much what comes out. the skeletal stuff.

my dub mix of jaymc's band is up, it looks like. how many other ilxors are on there?

lol I came in second to last place

sounds good though!

I am always afraid to click on the links here or go listen to other ilxor's electronic musics mayhems because I think about what if one of you internet people makes music I like better than my own? I would have to throw my computer out

haha, i didn't know your opinion of ilx was quite that low.

both the remixes i've listened to so far sound awesome (tom's & n/a's).

other ilxors i know about:

michael f gill is an ilx dude
eazy is on there under his government name
promqueen USA is nabisco

pretty sure there are others

based on a quick scan, mine in easily the worst. not being falsely modest, still pretty proud of mine since i don't really know how to do remixes at all. just the quality seems high across the board

The top two tracks currently on my myspace page are from the album I did for the RPM 08 challenge. For a project slapped together just because I could I think they turned out pretty decent.

I have never let other people hear my musicings, even though I feel I'm pretty good at them. I think I will stop being so shy.

Both of those are intended to be full songs with vocals, but for now they are not.

And somehow I naturally left in this little bass bit I tried out and didn't like in one of those. Oh well.

i love Desire. i desire to sing some vox on top of it, wanna let me?

Dear Mr. Chriddof:

It seems clear, at least to me, that you despise most music, in the sense of the word that the electorate holds it. I would, therefore, greatly appreciate the challenge of turning your efforts into popular anthems, were you inclined to offer me the opportunity. My e-mail address can be discovered via the first link on the left below this post. Should I fail in my endeavour, you can at least be sure you did not fail in yours.

Regards,

The Mighty Sandy Heath Transmitters - Sweethearts Of The Fallout

Haven't made a new track in ages. This is one of the first tracks I made almost entirely in Reason (although I had to use Acid Pro/Sound Forge to record the vocals which are all performed by yours truly). There are a few things I wish I could change (sometimes the vocals are too loud, and they come in quite abruptly sometimes). But let me know what you reckon.

Lovin the Fake Fictions!

thanks brah

"Rock Out" needs a better title: "You Listened to This So You Must Be Gay (Your Wife Caught You Jerking Off While Looking at Pics of Dicks)." (cf Anal Cut, the thread on that band that made the album about George W. Bush, etc.)

Hello there, Chriddof here. El Tomboto - you can do whatever you want with my stuff. Sorry I didn't reply earlier.

my buddy gavin made this video, i contributed some music

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2109212391

I wrote and recorded a very quick track "Get Up, Office Boy" last night after listening to the Anthology of Americn Folk Music. http://www.myspace.com/mightysandyheathtransmitters

6335 - tried to watch the vid but my computer is old and it kept cutting out. the 5 secs that i did witness looked very good.

Gooblar - that's the best song that never got released on Slanted and Enchanted. Like it a lot

hurting - listenign to the instrumental, warming - is that beefheart you're sampling?

It's my little brother, not me.

And the sample is Casey Jones

My bandmates and I recorded a demo of a new song, the first one in awhile.

Things I Used to Know

Very pretty power pop Steve - I like the nice tight stops and starts. Good lyrics too. Actually this is pretty fucking excellent!

I was mucking about with Reason, a bugle, a tin whistle, a drum and a hell of a lot of echo and reverb. Left all the mistakes in and did the vocal in one take (you can tell). Still I quite like this one, and at least I can say I've had a go at punk/dubstep (punkstep?!)

The Mighty Sandy Heath Transmitters - The King Of Luxury Apartments

myspace.com/marginz

NEW SHIT NEW SHIT NEW SHIT

that "King Of Luxury Apartments" track is now up on my MySpace site

http://www.myspace.com/ohthisisathing

new song called 'danceparty on the rubble'

this is a remix a friend did of a very rushed track mostly built out of softsynths in reason and hybrid. i don't particularly like it, but it's something different for us anyway

http://www.sendspace.com/file/2k5ta6

We've finished our album at last, only took 3 years. Now we have to find some suckers to put the thing out!

www.myspace.com/theslowlife

congrats maresnest!

I put some instrumentals on my myspace.

Fügügüffü - Wandering

now fully accepting the fact that I cannot sing

Some stuff here, including a binaural track ('Piece 2') - make sure you use headphones!

digging the shit out of "Melt," S-

curtis' track up there is kinda the bomb

for all you foolish suckas what ain't checked it out yet

we got new shit right up here: http://www.myspace.com/tenderhooks

sounds good! i guess i hadn't listened to yr band before because this is not what i imagined you sounded like, was thinking you were rockier

thanks, we pretty rocky still i think tho

I made a Hongropop song:

Fügügüffü - Thundercloud

(lol @ url)

new song, called "goose"

http://www.myspace.com/clonefeed

yes, that's a distorted top gun sample at the beginning

Excellent! Sounds like the kind of tune that would play during a boss fight in a shoot-em-up.

The Snickerson Brothers, a fake band me and my brother had ten years ago:

http://www.myspace.com/snickersonbros

The concept was that they were uber-corny American wannabe Anglophiles with delusions of grandeur. Some of the songs are pretty cute though.

All the songs were recorded on a Radio Shack tape deck.

The entire album we made is available for free as a zip file.

http://rapidshare.com/files/124252058/snickerson_bros._-_electric_heartache.zip.html

I made a westbound-ish funk track using nothing but garageband synths. Kind of pleased with it. It's really not a whole song, just a bunch of add-a-track loops. Once the other instruments all cut out, there's just an overlong percussion jam, so don't feel obligated to listen to that part:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/4votk6

i think this is an improvement over my last absurd attempt at a song! :D

the "big" track (ie: long track) from our (carta's) next album. it's not completely mixed yet (this was a five minute mix job basically).

I made a pretend shoegaze band a while ago, then realised that it might be fun to have a real one but haven't done anything about it...

http://www.myspace.com/heywoodr

Points if you can spot the band name ref as well as the song title ref.

i don't think i ever posted new album on here, huh

http://www.myspace.com/theprairiespies

^ album of the year

"blackout" sounds really good

the whole album is great but the peak is really the "It's Not Fair"/"Vigilante"/"Blackout"/"I Can't Stand It" sequence

is on itunes?

i don't think it's on itunes? i don't know how to do that! i will ask phil

which reminds me that i don't even own a copy of it OR krakatoa (actual album of the year, no foolin')

fuck i am so bad about mailing things to people, sorry

cool video, jordan - where is that? was it professionally recorded? it sounds better than youtube videos usually sound.

it was recorded in switzerland by a guy from another brass band, he had what is apparently a nice camera and luckily was interested in shooting a bunch of footage of us (more videos here).

(i think we're making an actual music video next month!)

rough mix of the first thing we've finished in over two years

http://www.sendspace.com/file/4w5eid

digging the prairie spies jams, great vocals

A few ILXors have heard this already but I figured I might as well post it here:

Brand New Toy

no softsynths, per usual

(hopefully improved production tho)

curtis this is awesome

thank u very much!

Yeah dude, this is really great, and I don't generally go for this sorta stuff.

^_^

crutis is that your for real in real life voice if so then awes if not then :/ way to make awes voice tho

I recorded [Removed Illegal Link] with the original depressing lyrics. Please enjoy with your loved ones this holiday season.

Oh no. I meant Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

First two songs from new project The Grown-ups.

I can't get at myspace right now but I like the grown up suk URL

haha yeah I had no choice

I find it hard to believe that grownupsgivegoodyumyum and grownupsluvyoulongtime were already taken

chatting with my brother

me: ps new musical project:
me: www.myspace.com/grownupsuk
(two tracks, no website design)
Jon: kinda looks like grown up suk
me: yeah i know
nothing i could do

heheh. Still not quite as good as www.gotahoe.com though (ok they've renamed & redirected since last I looked)

Can anyone comment on BetaStonerPedalTest_v1.0 up thread^ - before sendspace deletes it (its only 4mb)?

What effects did you use? Sounds like a chorus and/or phaser, and a delay. There's quite a bit of hiss, but when I've tried doing something similar I've had the same problem.

I think the basic pedals - chorus, flanger, reverb, delay, flanger and perhaps phase shifter or hi-gain. I might have been using his wah wah pedal as well. I was quite pleased how it turned out - in a pleasing ambient sound sort of way. Thanks for comments.

First experimentation with a near identical setup to ILM Saint Ian Crause...

http://rapidshare.com/files/183087413/760-1.mp3.html

Here is my band's site, just updated today with newly-mastered songs:

http://www.californiarocketfuel.com/

Bored wednesday experimentation = corny dub-techno with Lyn Collins break!!

http://soundcloud.com/bacchus/220109-1

my band has a new free ep that is streamable or downloadable from our website. go to the mp3 page, click on the square in the upper-left corner, enjoy

new ambient album, Music for Various Twilights

This is the first time I recorded a new song since I last posted in this thread. Yikes.

Shutterbug

Another new track rounds out the CD I'm bringing to SXSW.

1. Shutterbug (demo)
2. The Garden of Forking Paths (demo)
3. Things I Used to Know (demo)
4. Summer's Ending

Rabies up in punx! I will so regret this, but here's the band I played guitar in (I should be mostly left channel..first thing you hear in the first song, anyhow) before we broke up and we all moved away.

Music was live and sloppy in a basement, recorded for posterity in like a few hours the afternoon before our final show. Vox in post.

And fyi we named the band at the very last moment before our first show. It was something the other guitar player's brother had spray painted in all caps across his skateboard ramp.

So yeah.

Have a laugh, not an audit trigger. It's free.

The Internal Revenue Boogie

put up a couple of new songs (pre-mastered) here, incl. a terence trent d'arby cover: http://www.myspace.com/mamadigdown

(uh i took down the d'arby one for the moment, wasn't the final mix)

I heard it and it sounded really good!

Would cut 1 rug.

sloppy Cabs cover: http://www.last.fm/music/Spitfire+Parade/Live+tracks/Nag+Nag+Nag

I like. Would totally see you guys if I get a chance to visit Australia in the next X months.

The venue streams over awdio.com - that was recorded by a friend in NYC. I'll let you know when we play there again.

Cool. You should do the same if by some circumstance you wind up playing NZ.

http://www.myspace.com/snickersonbros

"new" songs "Leprechaun Luv In Da Shower" and "Baby Bird"

my band has another new EP up for free streaming/downloading online. as before, go to http://www.thefakefictions.com, click on "mp3," then click on the ice cream cone. it's called "oja kodar"

Hi guys, I dont usually post here and this isnt stricly my own music but I'm plugging my other half and his two awesome latest EPs which you can download here:

http://rooftopaccess.bandcamp.com/

Either free mp3s or miniCD limited runs. Awesome ambient guitar, I recommends.

Band should be live here in just over 3 hours from this post.

some silly nu-wave shizzle we made in my friend's bedroom. lotsa fun: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=309078269

i made a video for one of our new tunes

http://vimeo.com/4538133

I tried to watch that but streaming video keeps crashing my computer :(

(NB I don't think it's anything wrong with yr video or anything, no cause for worry. I'm havin crazy technical difficulties over here)

Works OK here, good stuff BTW

I remixed a Title Max commercial using free audio software. Unfortunately I didn't have the sound file for the actual commercial. I found it today on youtube.

Anyways a couple years ago I went ahead and made this remix without the real "got your money" intro which inspired me to make it in the first place: http://www.divshare.com/download/7361316-0f1

Another live cover, this time of AC Newman's 'Alone'

http://www.last.fm/music/Spitfire+Parade/Live+tracks/Alone+(live)

New EP streaming here: http://fairtilizer.com/playlists/15695

first proper track with serious effort made in many, many months: house jam with all sorts of percussion and piano samples. Unmastered, and heard on two computers, but only one set of speakers, so I haven't how it'll sound elsewhere. Hope it's good.

my new orleans jazz band (not the brass band, i play kit in this one): http://www.myspace.com/kidjordansecondline

put up some songs recorded at last week's gig.

Nice Jordan!! Also, lol@kidjordansecondline

Because I can't convince myself I sound any good, I am putting this extract up for yon perusals. This is from a rather longer instrumental called "Winterbell", in which I sing a verse at the end of the piece.

The music is by Rooftop Access (aka me bloke).

http://rooftopaccess.net/audio/winterbell%20snippit1.mp3

I'm a bit too buried in reverb for my liking, but eh.

nice, reminds me of alison's halo

We did a cover of a Cranes track in a similar vein too. Dont have the file handy though.

sounds great, esp '880,000'

My solo project, Marmoset Rebellion. The song: Dust Mites. From 2005.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/wzd99u

Thoughts?

Is it supposed to be only 13 seconds long? Nice guitar sound, what gear did you use?

Yeah, it was a half-joking "punk" song I wrote during my senior year in high school. The gear isn't great, but isn't awful.

I used:
falsetto
black Fender Strat (Mexican) in dropped D tuning
awful, awful 15watt Crate amp with built-in gain turned up
Audacity (for recording)

And that was it.

I need to buy a Jazzmaster, basically.

The spree continues

Hi guys!

My guy has done another Peter Gabriel remix for the Real World website. You can download samples of various songs and upload remixes to rate.

This is his version of "Games without Frontiers" and like his usual best stuff it's ambient and moody and pretty damn good.

http://www.realworldremixed.com/remix.php?remix_id=0kMlgkYb6PAKYF5R

You have to have a login to be able to vote on it/comment, but that costs nothing. Listen and rate if you want! Its v good.

someone should start an IMM soundcloud group or something. Would be cool to send tracks at each other.

http://www.myspace.com/clonefeed

new song "Release!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E912Cce61Po

latebloomer that almost sounds like some speeded-up john carpenter score

awesome, i take that as a compliment!

i've been posting solo home recordings at http://scarequotes.net. i'm especially happy with 'quick-change champion.'

sounds good nick, haven't heard you sing like that before.

yeah i wanted a song i could sing in a lower register, and then i actually worked on it until it sounded the way i wanted it instead of just banging it out

been having fun hearing what people sound like here. tylerw, i esp. thought the Love cover sounded
~nice~!

binaural field recording over fading drones, giving way to tape manipulation and hiss

http://automating.bandcamp.com/album/misc

Thanks, outdoor_miner!

here's Say It Again, a new thing i just finished. http://www.zshare.net/audio/66296113ca474bf7/

!!!

haha. it's v rough.

Your voice!

For real?? Doesn't sound like it at all!

yea it's been out of practice! : )

surm your voice sounds great but those claps on the downbeat are slowly killing me

ok... should i get rid of them completely ythink?

yeah, although it does sound unfinished to me without percussion. i think some better-sounding (probably real) claps and/or tambourine on the upbeats would go a long way to keeping things moving.

yeah i was thinking upbeat too. thanks!

http://www.myspace.com/lordgodbird

droney/metal/spacerock - we broke up a couple years ago. i'm not really a motorhead at all but it was fun while it lasted.

Rough draft for a portion of a full length piece of background music, Satie / Eno etc. inspired.

http://automating.bandcamp.com/track/soundoffsound

damn surm i gotta hear a house mix of say it again, like the vocal

someone should start an IMM soundcloud group or something. Would be cool to send tracks at each other.

def up for this, have set one up: http://soundcloud.com/groups/ilx-makes-music

let the mayhem commence

lol @ Suggest Band

CRUTIS STEVENS 5-SONG GREATEST HITS EP ONLY DOPE SHIT NO FILLER!!!!
http://www.sendspace.com/file/k1jqdu (48MB)

Fügügüffü - Brand New Toy

1. (Shiny)
2. Brand New Toy
3. December
4. Boys Go To Jupiter
5. Poppyseed

this is the final time I'm going to be repackaging these tracks (I hope) - is this good enough to send to a label?

fuck yes it is, i say that as someone who regularly listens to your jams

bimble sure thought so

if you are feeling dangerous, you should include wandering/good night, its a banger

that would work actually

poppyseed is A+++

I'm putting December on a b-day mix I'm sending home to my gf, and it totally sticks out like a sore thumb among the likes of Tom T. Hall and Red Sovine but I have decided this and it can not be un-decided.

That's a lie I may in fact un-decide and go with Boys Go To Jupiter.

This is an early sketch for an instrumental track (though it might not stay that way). I recorded it on my own, but might alter it a bit with the band. See if you can spot the sample (drums n horns)....

http://www.sendspace.com/file/x3e8lw

sounds great!

Very nice, indeed! Don't know the sample.

yeah i liked it, are the samples from the same source? no idea really.

me and the guys put toghether a new "album":
http://stalar.bandcamp.com/

^^^ dope

yeah sounds good

been working on this song, my first experiment with reason ... can't tell if it sounds cool or if it needs more stuff in the instrumental bits or if the mix is weird

http://scarequotes.net/mp3/crowdsurfing.mp3

sonderangerbot is there anyway I can d/l that w/o going through weird flash stuff? It doesn't wanna play nice with my browser or broadband provider or something or another, not sure what's up really.

(xpost)

That's a really great song! I think it would be perfect as an album closer.
Probably doesn't need more instrumental bits. The mix sounds OK, so I'm kind of nitpicking here:

- the drums could be panned out a bit, at the moment they're all concentrated on the left
- maybe have the kick drum on the right and the bass guitar on the left?
- the synth that comes in at 2:30 needs to be a bit louder.
- maybe increase the volume on the acoustic guitars during the final chorus to add a bit of interest?

As I said, nitpicking really.

hey thanks guys

rabies, sorry about that. i was worried that flash thing could be a hassle. if you still wanna download it you can try this link right HERE

staler is noizetastic!!!!

thanks for the feedback, snoball.

sounds good nick
