Project Idea for the Musicians of AP....

[nikaidoh]

I was thinking about how the band The Sounds of Animals Fighting just have different musicians record different parts of a song separately and then send it in to the other members of the project and then they put it all together to make a really atmospheric, layered track.

So what I was wondering is if we could organize something like this here through the AP musician forum, just have people upload their part of a song and then people working around it and posting their bit until it was an actual coherent piece of music. I don't know specifics of it or anything, but it was just an idea that came to me and decided to share it amongst you all and see what you thought.

[OveriseFan]

Sure, why not? I'd try it. Vocals, acoustic guitars, and more simple piano/keyboards would be all I'm comfortable recording for it though.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

I like this idea, I have no access to recording equipment at the moment though:-(

[justcantwait]

thats actually a really sweet idea man.

[nikaidoh]

I like this idea, I have no access to recording equipment at the moment though:-(

That's cool man, if you ever get some you can put stuff up here then. But really, all you need is a microphone and a computer. Just download Audacity for free, hook up a mic through your computer, and then whatever you can record with that would be sufficient, ya know?

thats actually a really sweet idea man.

haha, thanks bro, if you've got any ideas for a song or whatever just put it up here.

Sure, why not? I'd try it. Vocals, acoustic guitars, and more simple piano/keyboards would be all I'm comfortable recording for it though.

Yeah, I'd probably just record vocals, acoustic guitars, maybe a little bass or electric riffs, and I can do some pretty heavy melody stuff for keyboards.

haha yeah, I have audacity, but I'd like it to sound much better then that.

hmmm..... well, what do you play?

[ShimmerAndSpill]

hmmm..... well, what do you play?

Guitar, bass, drums, and I sing too. I have a friend who might be able to help me out, but if anything, I should have a small recording setup within the next few months.

Alright cool, well anything you can record just put up on this thread, that'd be great.

I'll do that. Hopefully this idea appeals to other people in the forums.

yeah, I put something up in the "Music" forum, hopefully someone'll actually check it out

Hope it takes notice, I think it's a pretty cool idea.

[llwilliamsll]

Guitar/Vocals/Bass/Piano

But I don't have access to a piano. I have to figure out the whole mic settings on my computer because anytime I record, it sounds all static and what not.

hmmm, is it just when you try to record with a certain instrument? or is it static all of the time?

[screamoutmyname]

that'd be awesome... i'd love to pitch in, or at least hear the result

[nikaidoh]

that'd be awesome... i'd love to pitch in, or at least hear the result


alright cool, what might you be able to contribute?

[llwilliamsll]

Record anything. I think I have to set up something which I've tried, but can't seem to figure out. I'll look into it.

what do you use to record?

[screamoutmyname]

guitar/bass... my area of expertise is really drums, but unfortunately i don't have the capability to record them very well.

Well if you record something and it sounds like shite (sound-quality wise, not talent-wise) then I can just edit it and level it out, or somebody else can too.

[Esrb99]

I would love to do vocals, and mix the entire thing.

[screamoutmyname]

right... it's not so much that... i've got 5 drum mics and some overheads and stuff, i just have no real way of getting them into my software... my soundcard i bought has only 2 mic inputs and i've got no mixer or anything.

maybe i'll just try getting a decent room sound with one mic and then mic near the bass and snare to give it more character then work on eq, compression and whatnot.

oh! I didn't understand before, I got it now. Yeah, whatever works.

sweet. two things:

1.) What kind of vocal style do you have?
2.) Do you do lyrics?

[screamoutmyname]

i'll keep you posted!

[Esrb99]

tenor, and hardcore vocals.

AKA, tenor singing and screaming.

[nikaidoh]

bad-ass, well if you could post like, a demo or a recording of your vocals like over music or something, that would be cool. Just so I can get an idea of how it could be worked in.

here's a quick snippet of something, I'll take more time to do something serious tomorrow. no instruments, just about 20 sec. of vox.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/af6971g/n/AP2_mp3

[eliselovesmusic]

I can provide lyrics :-)

I can do guitar but I'm probably not as experienced as other guitarists on here....

[nikaidoh]

Awesome.

I can do guitar but I'm probably not as experienced as other guitarists on here....

That's cool, I'm not expecting anything over-the-top brilliant, just whatever you can put up

[lew_1987]

I might be interested. Can do guitar, bass, vocals and sequencing/arrangements.

[nikaidoh]

sweet, that would help quite a bit if you could contribute.

[Esrb99]

one important note for everyone: don't record yourself with 27 effects, and don't record w/ the meters on your pc program near clipping... have it max out round -8 db, never higher. unusable if you go hotter.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

I can do guitar on this for sure, but I'd rather try doing something after a rythmn track is down.

[tellmycaster]

as goofy as this sounds, i think it would be pretty sweet
i am looking forward to hearing the outcome if possible

[Hyp]

If you need any synth or vocals, I'm your man. :) Sounds pretty raw.

[SeeYouSeptember]

I could help with writing music, I'm the man for that

my old roommate is from Rolla, Missouri.

[Esrb99]

my old roommate is from Rolla, Missouri.

I'm sorry for your roommate. shit town with nothing in it.

[splitsecond]

I am down to throw something in. Guitar, aux vocals, random ass instruments. Whatever.

[Wobbie]

I can play the handclapzzz.

[nikaidoh]

I can do guitar on this for sure, but I'd rather try doing something after a rythmn track is down.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for someone to say they play drums, because that'd be the biggest help.

If you need any synth or vocals, I'm your man. :) Sounds pretty raw.

Awesome bro, we definitely need that, and vocals would help as well.

I could help with writing music, I'm the man for that

This is probably the more important aspect of this; I don't want to like, request too much responsibility from you, but if someone posts something on here, maybe you could help work it out with them. Otherwise definitely try putting some of your own work on here if you could.

Can you play any percussion/rhythm type instruments? If not, it's cool, because we need some more guitar anyways.

lolz

[eliselovesmusic]

It feels like we're scouts working together to pitch a tent. haha bad image I know

he he, "pitch a tent"

[lew_1987]

Yeah, I'm still waiting for someone to say they play drums, because that'd be the biggest help.

If we get a song written, I can always do the drums through drum machine (I have plenty of practise at that). Then we can use that to keep us in time for the recording.

[RustyxDrums]

Thats a sweet idea.
All I've got is Audacity, but I guess its better than nothing. haha
I can do drums. Thats about all I'm good at.

[nikaidoh]

alright sweet, yeah try posting like a sample of like a drum lick you can do or whatever so we can work something around it maybe?

Yeah anytime, since the band I'm in isn't cooperating much, I'll just quit that and write songs for you guys.

[Cockstrong]

I have a feeling this would end up a little closer to Bomb the Music Industry. Awesome idea though.

[mybreakingpoint]

i'd be down for being involved with this for sure.

[SeeYouSeptember]

Well, I have a intro, verse and a prechorus written for 3 guitars on one song, would you guys like me to post it?

[mybreakingpoint]

go for it.

[SeeYouSeptember]

It's not mixed at all and I used software for the guitars.

http://rapidshare.com/files/213524360/AP_Song.mp3.html

[SockMonkeyRiot]

Need any Harmonica?

[SeeYouSeptember]

Your comments on the song?

[Burn That Shit]

Rad idea, not going to help because I suck at everything I do but I'd love to hear the finished project.

[SeeYouSeptember]

My sir, blink-182 rocks.

[nikaidoh]

Need any Harmonica?

Hellz fucking yes! That would be sweet.

Well, I have a intro, verse and a prechorus written for 3 guitars on one song, would you guys like me to post it?

Go for it, playa.

i'd be down for being involved with this for sure.

awesome, anybody we can get is great!

What's wrong with Bomb the Music Industry?

Rad idea, not going to help because I suck at everything I do but I'd love to hear the finished project.

I'm sure you won't suck that bad, and even if it does it'll add to the disconnected and layered communal sound I'm looking for, ya know?

[nikaidoh]

Well, I have an intro, verse and a prechorus written for 3 guitars on one song, would you guys like me to post it?





It's actually pretty awesome, what'd you use to put it together?


If we could get anybody to do a drum part for it, and maybe if someone could try to extrapolate on it, that would be awesome.

[SeeYouSeptember]

Fl Studio with a guitar vst plugin.
I also have a drum demo I made too, though myself I can't play drums so I made it in fl studio also.
Post that?

[lew_1987]

Can you send a tab or a MIDI version of this or something? I've already started to get ideas to improve it and to add drums.

EDIT: I say you wait until I've finished writing drums for it, then we both upload our drum ideas and see how they differ.

[xmicxcorex]

Id love to get involved with this. I can add some guitar stuff. I dont have a lot of access to recording stuff right now but the guy doing my bands EP right now would probably help me out so just let me know what youre wanting. I typically play "bro-core" (this A Day To Remember) but was raised on Blues and Country and love pretty much everything. If there are any sounds that you want to avoid let me know, otherwise as soon as i get a couple ideas down ill head over to our studio and lay it down and get it posted.


my email is xmicxcorex@gmail.com if i could get involved in that ring.

[iamyourgodnow]

If we got straight into it, and got as much press as possible,
We could attempt releasing it?

[xmicxcorex]

totally if done right this could be Huge.

[iamyourgodnow]

We could probably get an EP or an album, with everybody taking different duties?

[xmicxcorex]

and maybe jumping the gun.... but a tour would be sick. APnet sponsors the whole thing since its the birthplace.....i dunno, im just tossing this out....im gonna try to get a couple clips up real soon....

[TooShort4]

Hey there, I can help with vocals, but I would love to help in any way possible, even if it be promoting.

[xmicxcorex]

i have one guitar part down, very simple....if someone else wants to write some "leads" over it, ill get it recorded in the next few days and send it to you....i do have a drum piece i wrote for it on FL....can send that file too.

[lew_1987]

I think I'm going to drop out. This whole thing just got a lot more stupid.

[iamyourgodnow]

What, because more people are posting ideas?
Or because your a ambitiondead fuckwit?

[lew_1987]

What, because more people are posting ideas?
Or because your a ambitiondead fuckwit?

Fuckwit? Ambitiondead? I think you've just proved my point. If I wanted to make shitty bro-core with 15-17 year olds, I'd go to my local college and hang out there, making sure to tune to drop-C on the way. I was all for this thing, but... you're talking about touring and press? What, SERIOUSLY!? We have ONE song idea (which isn't much of an idea yet), and you're talking about releasing music, touring, and thinking this could huge? It's hardly an 'idea'. Do you have any idea what being in a 'band' is about? Just fuck off. I left people like you behind in high school, and for good reason.

Talk to you later, I'll be off writing music while you coordinate your outfits.

[iamyourgodnow]

Hang on, did I say anything about fucking bro-core?
I didnt mention touring, I just thought that realeasing something would be something to aim for.
So dont try and piss on other peoples ideas.
Ah, alright then.
Go and write music/whack off to obama's lectures.

[lew_1987]

LOL, what the fuck has Barack Obama got to do with any of this? And even if I was doing that, it'd be more worthwhile than talking about touring, press, and releasing EPs before even writing half of a song. How are they 'ideas'? If you're thinking about things like that now then you have it COMPLETELY the wrong way around. I don't know if you've ever been in a band before, but writing music usually comes before press?

This also goes for the other guy, not just you.

[iamyourgodnow]

Im currently in a band that's been on tour with azriel, and are away to see about a tour with suicide silence.

[lew_1987]

Oh, and here comes the brag! That means pretty much nothing. I don't care if you're in a band or not... even though the fact that you are in one actually makes you look more stupid.

How about trying to answer my questions instead of trying to shut me up with crappy brags?

[iamyourgodnow]

If I wanted to shut you up with crappy bags, I would throw your mom at you.
What questions?

[lew_1987]

Fuck it, don't bother. You clearly don't understand discourse.

[iamyourgodnow]

Exactly.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

:hitself:

[iamyourgodnow]

Self-harm isnt the way to go!

[SeeYouSeptember]

Fuck it, don't bother. You clearly don't understand discourse.

If you would still like to do this with people that aren't into that shitty bro-core music can you post your email so we could privately discuss ideas and etc?

I'm going to go with what SeeYouSeptember said. I really don't see why people are dropping out of something that isn't even that tangible, and it's really just something I thought would be cool to work on with other musicians as a way of expanding the musical experience of people involved, and it seems like overnight you've all flipped out and gone at each other's necks like fucking idiots. To people who were talking about this being huge and getting sponsorships, that's not what it's about, and I wouldn't want to be involved with any of that anyways seeing as how it's practically impossible. It's just an exercise in creative expression, and to lew, I'd hate to see you go considering you were helping out with the whole musical process with our one "idea", and if you don't want to deal with people making shitty music then you can just work privately through other people's emails. TooShort, whatever you can do to be productive would be great.And to miccore, just try to be productive with this if you're going to do anything at all.

I don't think I have been an idiot whatsoever. Yeah, I probably overreacted, but only because I am serious about music and stand up for what I believe when it comes to creating it. You are right though, it is practically impossible - which is what I was trying to say, I suppose.

To both of you:

For now I'd like to carry this on through PMs if that's OK. I don't want to get too involved at this stage, but I'm still willing to hear ideas and see what happens with them. So if SeeYouSeptember wants to send me those files, then I'll see what I can do.

Sorry to make this all serious suddenly, but as I said I stand up for what I believe music is about.

We all stand up for what we believe music is really about. But some people's opinions on it differs from others. Those bro-core guys up there are in it for the fame, but I don't believe fame brings joy, I believe joy comes from the time spent making music that I love.

Also, gonna need the email, it's easier to send files that way then use rapidshare or megaupload.

Edit: Maybe PM is a better idea.

Pm is definitely a better idea.

[xmicxcorex]

A) I AM NOT in music for the fame, I am passionate as hell about music, but I am also the kind of person who will push whatever I am involved with as far as I can. Music is my life, whether performing or recording, i dont care how big my name gets as long as I live my life with music in my heart and on my mind. Can a person not bring up a random, more than likely futile idea just for the sake of it.
B) Because my current band plays bro-core, does not mean i was going to even remotely try to involve that in this idea....my apologies if thats how i made it seem. Quite frankly, my favorite bands of all-time include The Get Up Kids, Say Anything, Thrice, The Early November and The Honorary Title...and especially TSOAF, which is what drew me to this...these are also my main writing influences for when im not working with my band....I've been dying to find some people with whom I could share some of the ideas and maybe try to make something happen.

But its whatever, if you guys are so closed minded that you cant look at moderate humor no matter how poorly worded, then i have no desire to try to involve myself with this idea.

Cred isnt based off of what kind of music you play, its how hard you work...and I really dont feel like i need cred from the people who have shunned any idea tossed out (whether as a joke or not) so quickly.

Good luck with the project, it IS a brilliant idea, its just too bad so many people cant open their eyes and minds up enough to see past something this dumb.

[lew_1987]

[TooShort4]

we just need to take this one step at a time, and definitely get more organized. Maybe open up a actual site/forum for all of us to join and discuss it on there. That way we can be more organized and stuff.

Tried to do PM, sent it you lew, didn't really understand the BCC thing though but I put nikaidoh in it.

Erm, proabably the wrong time to contribute here, but I'd be really up for helping out as well. I play guitar and bass, and I could help out with the arrangement. Cheers.

[Sigur Ros]

Very cool idea. I could kick an Ondes Martenot part if you want, I also do lo-fi guitar recordings if you;re interested.

[11:11]

When I get my recording equipment working, I can do guitar/vocals/ukulele. The last one isn't really relevant, but I thought I'd add it in there anyway.

This sounds awesome, I'd be willing to contribute anything.

Drums - I can contribute low quality drum tracks, any style.
Guitar/Bass - I can contribute basic.
Vocals - Clean vocals are ok, Screams are ok.

Check myspace to see if anything I have is wanted:

[lew_1987]

I am trying to find time to work on this, but I just have other things I need to do right now. Hopefully I'll be able to sort something out soon.

Okay while I see this as an amazing idea and would love to do what I can it it, I think we need to establish a few things before we put anything together. These things should be...

1. A solid chord progression/key that it will follow. We need to all be on the same page as far as that if we are going to layer anything.
2. A basic structural template, i.e. intro, verse, chorus, bridge, crescendo, outro, prechoruses, what not. This isn't so essential, but you should get what I mean.
3. For the most part, a general tempo applying to the structure, once again, for layering purposes.

I don't think we should focus on a distinct sound for this, because we all have different preferences, and blending those is what will make this amazing. For example, I like psychedelic, hardcore punk, noise rock, lo-fi, shoegazing, and folk. Some guys on here like pop-punk, emo, metal, and whatever. Maybe an epic psychedelic-pop-punk-shoegazing-emo-noise rock-punk epic will be the best thing ever made. Lets not put expressive and creative limits to this.

And for any haters as to this idea, fuck off. Music has no limits. Music has no rules. Music has no guide lines. Thats what makes it music.

Music is art, not science.





Anyways, I play guitar and bass proficiently, I can work the keyboard and the Ondes Martenot, and I am getting a 1960's Wurlitzer 200A sometimes this week or next and would love to utilize it.

Anyone and everyone, let me know whats up.

Whoa, you own an Ondes Martenot. How much did it cost you? Where'd you get it? Please and thank you.

Haha, well actually its the French Connection Analog System. Its a synthesizer that replicates the function and sound of the Ondes, with the slide ring and control panel and all. It sounds almost exactly like the real thing, which I have played; a guy I like in Madison has a real one. I got mine luckly of Craigs List for $900, but maket price for one is about $1500. They're relatively hard to find, but if you want one I suggest in the most to get one. Its the same thing Jonny Greenwood brings on tour. Great stuff.

Man, that's ill. I've actually checked out the Analogue Systems website before. Those things look sooo sweet, but I've never played one. Being a huge fan of Radiohead and Jonny Greenwood, I've always wanted to put my hands on one. "Where I End And You Begin" is one of my all time favorite songs.
I just bought a new guitar recently, so I don't have that kind of scratch laying around, but maybe someday. :-)

Great job snatching one used. You hit the CL jackpot.

So, what's the status of this whole project right now? Is there a song being passed around? Gotta get my hands on a file of whatever we're workin on, I'm in.
