What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

bubble & scrape had the best assortment of songs iirc

like a variety pack where all the varieties are good!

i guess it's not against the law if it's not available for download?

eh no one cares unless you're making lots of money from something

i thought for sure it would be ok but then i read this! i think people bristled bc he was collecting/distributing his stuff but man those folk people are kinda nuts. http://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/columns/bell-labs_folk-fatwas-from-the-trad-taliban

Although Under The Hills And Nearby was an extremely modest release – a handful of cassettes and a Bandcamp page – I worried that Callow might ruffle folk feathers for using recordings without permission. And so it proved. He wrote to Topic to open discussions, and the curt response was a bill for hundreds of pounds plus VAT. The Alan Lomax archive took a similarly dim view and saw it all in financial terms. Then came a threat of litigation from Mike Yates, a song collector who had made some of the original recordings. Yates let off steam in a rant on the Musical Traditions website – “my feeling of disgust…underhand manner…Callow’s horrible work (he can’t even keep in time with the singing!)”.

on the other hand, i kinda get it
those recordings aren't his to modify

I take a very lenient view on appropriating, especially when there's no money being exchanged.

true, you do get the folks who will go in whether there's money to be made or not. for instance my brass band plays a version of 'r3d dress' aka 'h1gh heel sneakers', a blues, and a relative of the artist who originally recorded it is relentless as far as going after license fees wherever it shows up. my favorite live video of us ever recently got taken off youtube because it contained the last few bars of that tune (and unfortunately it was in the title of the video).

here's a track from a new project i did with two drummer friends, the idea was to make dance music with just percussion sounds that we recorded together:

the mixes came out sounding a little bit more 'polite' than i intended, but it was fun to make and i'm glad we saw the concept through.

i love it!! esp when the bass kicks in

thanks LL, the bass on that track is this gigantic, rickety, bootleg-looking bass kalimba that one of the dudes got at a thrift store.

that's great!

this is fantastic

awesome
lemme know if you ever find yourself thinking you need just *one more person*

ha, if you want to drive to the wastelands of northern wisconsin, i'll let you know the next time we record. that was the most fun part, it had been awhile since i've had to consider how to mic something.

thanks dudes.

i would definitely consider it!

New synths, new choon:

new tune, i mumble a lot: https://soundcloud.com/weinventyou/backbone-bending

Hey so did I ever post this before? A quick thread scan says no: I did this cover of a Split Enz song some time back, and it seems to have real good feedback from muso friends, so thought I'd post it here.

BTW Zac that last track you posted is awesome!

thank you! it's kind of numan'd out in the middle but if he sues i will gladly give him 50% of my lucrative royalties

yeah, i just listened! it sounds great! i love the neu/cluster vibes in the first half especially

the recorder is my favorite part, sounds really cool with the effects.

We should make an ILX:Duets record

I will do this if surm sings

Woah, that "Lady Godiva's" rules! Really spooky and ethereal, but still rockin'.

LL I admit I was v puzzled coz when I click that link I get five minutes of just drums (upload date last year), but now that I've found the actual one, this is v cool!

I've been musically inactive for ages because I've had the template for some kind of electro ballad in my head but with no ability to realise it, so instead I noodled over the top of its droney foundation and now I can abandon it https://soundcloud.com/eeeeeein/lfsj5

huge whoops there! i went back to the old one to see how it sounded and must've accidentally posted the wrong link. glad you found the right one!

and thanks everybody!! i'm kinda glad i don't know all the rules about when i should be embarrassed about what i've made/shared because it means i can feel genuinely good when i get any feedback. anything is good because 'audience of one' songs are my specialty at the moment.

i struggled with the mix on this one. i mixed most of it while on headphones, and then yelped in agony when i listened to it on speakers. depending on whether you listen to it on headphones, laptop speakers, apple earbuds, or regular speakers, the vocals are either way too loud or buried, and the organ drone is appropriately loud or inaudible. i give up.

i'm excited about a new song again!!
this is me and tarfumes the escape goat playing some instrumental rock music!! http://bit.ly/1umSJH6

^

Thx :)

sounds great!

here's something recent from my band -- just a rough iphone recording... hoping to do something real in the new year!

high quality jam! you're fortunate to have jovial people near you to jam with. sounds like a good time!!

i made the beat for this rap song.

i wish i had gotten to have a hand in the vocal mix...on the one hand it was nice not to have to worry about it, and the engineer did a great job punching up my 808s, but i feel like it's overly busy. i would have taken the chopped vocal samples out of my beat and argued for less backing vox during the verses, but whatevs.

that link is broken :(

oops, thx :)

i like it! whoever said it was like taking a bath was otm

i think they were saying the beat reminded them of baths, although it's nice like taking a bath too! :)

great job jordan

oh lol
still otm

thanks guys!

recent updates are all really good and now i know who tarfumes is on soundcloud :)
