ILX Compilation 7: COUGH PILL NATION - Deadline for submissions is probably mid-April or so

OK, thanks!

I should warn you my contribution might be very long.

How long we talking?

I'm sure it'll fit in somewhere

To the out-of-context thread! -_-

I don't know, anything from 5 minutes to half an hour, I'm still working out what I'm going to do.

Free-form plague poetry over a VCS3 freakout is my suggestion

I'm in!

itt: an excellent bunch of ilxors

hope ideas and inklings are beginning to congeal, or at least offer a glimmer of existence

I have ample time and wherewithal but my ability to make music is perhaps hampered by lack of music-making tools and, well, musical ability. Still, put me down as a 'maybe'.

I've kind of got soundtracked into doing another piece of music for something else, but I'll get round to it eventually... hopefully.

... sidetracked not soundtracked! Wow, that was a good one!

i have finished a song

I started off a Belgian New Beat thing but it didn't seem entirely fitting with the lockdown langour so i have gone glacial and repetitive instead.

I finished a thing, just trying to give it a name.

Keep 'em coming folks :)

I have started a thing, hoping to work more on it over the weekend.

Two submissions so far, both sounding lovely. Hard at work on my track - I hope you all are likewise!

i sent mines 2 u imago

Oh, I should send mine.

hurrah!

Sent!

Reminder that this is still open to anyone, and also that if you want to make more than one song, feel absolutely free!

I'd like to be wrapping this up around this time next week though...

you give us a deadline...i’ll get u a number one record

ok, next Monday 11pm EST can be the deadline

How many submissions do you have so far, imago?

Working on one right now, ended up nowhere near what I started off doing. Should be ready by the deadline.

I have 6 including my own!

Sent!

imagoleuthic at gmail dot com

Just out of curiosity, why do people write out their email addresses like this rather than with the @ sign and so on?

It appears as exam✧✧✧@exam✧✧✧.c✧✧ if you do.

ty paolo!

So 7 now? Anyone else who said they'd send a track who haven't done so yet? Apart from me, that is.

Plenty!

I'd better get my finger out then.

I submitted mine via slack. We’ll see if that works

Will check tomorrow, but thanks!

So far I have thirty seconds of the only song I’ve ever tried to make (teen emo lyrics aside). Got to push myself to add more to it (/loop it for thirteen minutes) but I think I can complete something before the deadline.

iirc ilx comp standards are pretty high. if you can’t master yelling into a looper and converting the results into a normalized mp3 best give up now

i submitted a track!

Please tell me it’s titled [Blocked. Tap to read.]

:)

I don't know if I'll manage to get it together in time after drifting idly for a month... but I finally got some inspiration last night !

submitted!

keep 'em coming!

(ty boxedjoy!)

Sent mine.

I guess you can all have until like Tuesday or Wednesday

Oh that's cool !
I've been working on it over the weekend and have just finished the instrumental parts... but I still have ALL the vocal parts to work on (melodies, lyrics, recording...) and the final mix to do.
Unless the vocal work is a disaster, I should be OK by Wednesday !

we even accept disasters

I miiiiiight have something in the next day or two

i should be done on Wednesday too

Just noticed this thread. Does it have to be something made over the last month?

Not necessarily, if you have something older that directly concerns the COVID-19 outbreak!

Happy to receive interludes, short songs, demos, one-take guitar workouts, anything tbh though

OK, I *think* I've managed to send you something.

Hurrah!

Submitted!

imago is starting the sequencing now (though still anticipating a couple more entries) and it's sounding very exciting. :)

It really is! Tomorrow is an absolute deadline unless you have a good excuse though...

Sent !

Wonderful!

We are approaching LAST CALL territory - Telecom (and possibly CAPTCHAS), you are summoned...

BY GAWD! THAT'S NA'S MUSIC!

OK you have until the morning I guess

Just sent mine!

I'll be done in a few hours - just trying to get my iPad to output digital cleanly to my laptop.

Good good...

Hiya LJ, just wondering what platform you plan to use to disseminate our dynamite hack?

Is there an updated thread with links to previous compilations?

I plan to use Bandcamp and have been converting everything to WAV format - hope that is okay!

That's great, was there talk somewhere of putting all the past ones on BC too? or did I just imagine that?

Sent!

Hurrah, ty! Terminus est

I can send you the WAV file if you want.

Already converted! But if you want your track in imperceptibly higher quality, go for it :)

Eheh, no it's ok, thanks !

And will there be cover art and label art, for us wot still like to make one for our ILX box set?

.. and let's not forget https://www.discogs.com/label/1056692-ILX-Compilations

MG

Ahah, I had forgotten the Lulu I & II with the UYI inspired covers !

Amazed to find out my contribution to that is under the name Virgin Killer (5) on Discogs. One of the others is a female-fronted Japanese Scorpions tribute act, maybe I should hit them up for a collab?

Mark, I don't suppose you fancy uploading all the past comps onto LJ's BC page?

What is that, exactly?
