Music - Something different?

rabbitearbandicoot — Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:22:12 GMT

Hi all, I was wondering if there are any Musos on board? Or, for that matter any Music lovers?

I am looking for your favourite tune / song - one that you think would lend itself to being played as an Instrumental on guitars etc.

and secondly, if you are a muso would you be interested in doing a tune together? By together I mean via email and music files - eg if you're a drummer you lay down the drum part, pass it on to the bass player who does his/her part and then passes it on to the next instrument etc. At the end it would end up a complete tune / arrangement.

Anyone interested?

What music program would you be using? Because they would all have to sync up.

Some of the best Instrumentals by far I ever heard came from a band called "Hoven Droven"

I bought the album "Groove" and it blew my mind unlike anything else in existence.

I've got Cakewalk Sonar but as long as it was a digital / audio file it should be OK

That is great Flygal. I'm still listening to it atm, great live performance too.

I was looking for something new to listen to today as well 🙂

well, I try to play guitar but not very successfully now as I have arthritis in my fingers and can't bend them very well any more - as well as that, I get pain after playing for a few minutes. But, I still have a bash every now and then.

Oh pooh that sucks. Although these days there are more than enough ways to put a song together without playing a single "real" instrument lol Have you seen Garage Band on the Ipad? Awesome little program.

Yes, I have Band-In-A-Box - similar to Garage Band. Sonar also caters for other formats - like midi but I am yet to find a good midi file.

Oh Band in a Box, I've not heard of that.

I am interested in your idea though Rabbitear. Just havent been around here much for the last few days.

I wouldn't say I'm a muso but I can string a few chords together on guitar and I can sing (I do make a better backup singer though...) but most recently I've been into rapping. I also have a good sense of rhythm and can tap out beats on drum machines etc Dont have any recording rig set up atm, but have access to ipads etc to fiddle with programs like garage band etc. And recently I've been doing alot of writing, I had ideas for a few simple childrens songs. But my musical tastes are very broad and I'm not that precious about what I play or sing, just to get something down would be great 🙂

Re: Music - Something different?

k0llectable5 — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 23:19:35 GMT

Lyrics and music 🙂 But more lyrics than music.

do you want to send me one? words and chords?

I was thinking more if we come up with something simple maybe we could use some of my lyrics, if you want. Like a basic drum beat, bassline and simple chord progression, then when it comes to lyric time, I already have some written down we could tweak them and see how they sound?

Here's one I wrote about the time they aired the last "Deep spsce Nine" episode. I call it "Trek metal Song"

demilitarized zone!, I call it hell some call it home.

i'm part of the Mackiee, because Bajorans want to be free.
we'll be comin out of badlands, killing Cardassians!..

hide some explosives in an astorid, three gallor class ships destroyed.
beemed over a Cardasian gull he was covered in blood with a fractured skull

dying a slow and horrorable death, giving up shild frequencys with his last breath.

now gallor class ships hiding amoung the stars
will be attacked with the spirit of a Gym-Hadar.
so don't be bound by Federation's rules. Starfleet is lame the Mackiee is cool.

like Edington that dude was smart, fooled Sisco and played his part.
head of security (Deep Space Nine) then betrayed their trust with his terrorists crimes.

Might have to add some to it to make a full song. I was planning on doing so, but never got back to it.
