AleXTC, Thursday, 26 February 2009 12:14 (fifteen years ago) link

have the whole instrumental, will have tomorrow night in the midnight hour

Marrakesh and Ashley Olsen (m bison), Friday, 27 February 2009 04:02 (fifteen years ago) link

99% finished, needs a few minor mixing tweaks and i'll send it in around lunchtime

6335, Friday, 27 February 2009 09:32 (fifteen years ago) link

got curtis' tune, sounds nice ... hopefully this afternoon i'll figure out a way to present this to the public. i can just upload the album to sendspace as suggested above and start a new thread for the album release once it's ready; what would be the awesomest is if people could stream the songs too, but i don't really know how to do that unless i upload each song individually to zshare as well

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 February 2009 12:46 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh, guys, sorry for sucking on this -- I've been working on it, but like I said upthread, there have been houseguest issues all week, including a toddler sleeping in the room where I'd normally record stuff ...

We said end of the month, right? Cuz my plan was to finish it up tomorrow now that people are gone...

nabisco, Friday, 27 February 2009 14:18 (fifteen years ago) link

everybody's trying to get theirs in today but I will rep for a nabisco extension due to extenuating houseguests

I'm in final mix mode so will have something to u today n/a

are we taking up dan on his offer to cover gr8080's spot or is anybody in the mood for a lightning round virtual supergroup?

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 18:07 (fifteen years ago) link

just let me know, it will involve some digging through my hard drive but I have 4 -6 tracks complete enough to fill gaps.

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Friday, 27 February 2009 18:10 (fifteen years ago) link

do any of them have the words "moment", "of", and/or "surrender" y/n

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 18:11 (fifteen years ago) link

Note: if I can't get anything finished pretty early tomorrow morning, I will at least send a recording of me breathing into a microphone and saying "bbbbrrreeeaaaatttthhhheeee" through heavy reverb in a fake Irish accent

nabisco, Friday, 27 February 2009 19:11 (fifteen years ago) link

that actually would be a good lead-in to the steaming pile of doom skronk omar, ned, & I are dropping.

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 19:39 (fifteen years ago) link

just sent my track to you, n/a. use the 2nd (shorter) vers if you will

6335, Friday, 27 February 2009 19:42 (fifteen years ago) link

do any of them have the words "moment", "of", and/or "surrender" y/n

n, they are instrumentals

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Friday, 27 February 2009 19:44 (fifteen years ago) link

o wait so any random ilxor could intone "moment of surrender" over them that's perfect

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 19:48 (fifteen years ago) link

if I had a microphone, I would do it myself

maybe we use the instrumental for the initial release than provide a "remix" with vocals?

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Friday, 27 February 2009 19:49 (fifteen years ago) link

or maybe ned could read gabbnebb's last post or better yet lj's infamous orgy story

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 19:50 (fifteen years ago) link

(I'm only half-joking)

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 19:50 (fifteen years ago) link

loooooooooooooooooooooool that would be mean

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Friday, 27 February 2009 19:50 (fifteen years ago) link

moment of suggbander

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 19:53 (fifteen years ago) link

Just uploaded my track and notified n/a!

Chris Barrus (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 February 2009 20:53 (fifteen years ago) link

nabisco could you send a reverbed-out wav of yourself saying "raspberries" in a carol channing voice

Curt1s SʨʧhɍȧǜʞƋʭƪƟƢƴťƦǂƽưʚʛƿɩens (Curt1s Stephens), Friday, 27 February 2009 20:54 (fifteen years ago) link

n/a if you want to stream individual songs, use http://www.fairtilizer.com

expecting nabisco and m. bison's contributions in the next 24 hours or so

i don't actually have cedars of lebanon, if someone could actually email an mp3 of it to me it would make my life a lot easier

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 February 2009 21:52 (fifteen years ago) link

oh and i'm fine with dan taking gr8080's place

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 February 2009 21:52 (fifteen years ago) link

okay so next question: should I submit the spacey 10-minute ambient drone track, the mid-tempo vanilla Rebirth demo track, or the zippy happy house track?

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Friday, 27 February 2009 21:54 (fifteen years ago) link

generally the "sound" so far is kind of creepy synth-pop, so whatever you think will fit best with those

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 February 2009 21:55 (fifteen years ago) link

is there anything like muxtape left that we could use for streaming purposes? it looks like fairtilizer could be ok for track by track, but it would be nice to be able to have them stream as an "album"

even if i get all the tracks tonight or tomorrow, it's fairly unlikely i'll get this whole thing up and running before sunday at the earliest, because saturday is looking a little crazy for me at this point. if anyone is upset about this i can forward all the tracks on to someone else

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 February 2009 21:58 (fifteen years ago) link

Is it seriously still not clear that the final track is Edward III remixing my vocal of Gear's lyric? I mean, just checking and all!

or maybe ned could read gabbnebb's last post or better yet lj's infamous orgy story

No.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 27 February 2009 22:10 (fifteen years ago) link

could you just make a myspace account? might be too much work

k3vin k., Friday, 27 February 2009 22:11 (fifteen years ago) link

xpost

k3vin k., Friday, 27 February 2009 22:11 (fifteen years ago) link

i understand that, but i'm just saying if someone could email the track to me, so i can tag it with the other tracks, i would appreciate it

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:11 (fifteen years ago) link

sorry, i got confused and thought that this track was done but hadn't been sent to me. i guess i was just thinking of ned's original, unremixed track

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:12 (fifteen years ago) link

n/a, I'm gonna send you the ridiculous dubby track and the Rebirth demo track; I'll leave it up to you as to which one you think fits the vibe of the album better

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:15 (fifteen years ago) link

seederz of lebanon is done, I just have to take the final mix for a ride in the car + I'll shoot it over to you 2nite

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:16 (fifteen years ago) link

lol stay classy ned (sincerely)

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:16 (fifteen years ago) link

I have a RapidShare account, so I could just put the whole works up there for people who want to download.

Chris Barrus (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:17 (fifteen years ago) link

I think n/a's cool with setting up a fileshare but he's looking for someplace that will stream it online

I could make one giant mp3 once I get all the individual tracks but most free streaming places have a limit on file sizes

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:25 (fifteen years ago) link

nick i think f0ng could stream it somehow?? isn't that how C______ R_______ works?

i like to fart and i am crazy (gbx), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:42 (fifteen years ago) link

Co-incidentally, U2 are on BBC1 on the Jonathan Ross Show in a bit. Also for extra lols, JR is demonstrating that awful infra-red "Beamz" gadget...

snoball, Friday, 27 February 2009 22:44 (fifteen years ago) link

the thing with fairtilizer is it streams mp3s at their true bitrate. maybe you could make one giant mp3 with spaces? man, wish i had got involved in this!

rio (r1o natsume), Friday, 27 February 2009 22:57 (fifteen years ago) link

kk I'm heading home now; n/a, I should be sending you an email in the next 2-3 hrs

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Friday, 27 February 2009 23:25 (fifteen years ago) link

ha okay, apparently I deleted some of my old mp3s

fuck I hope Rebirth runs on Vista (I still have the one I'm calling "the Rebirth demo")

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Saturday, 28 February 2009 01:31 (fifteen years ago) link

kk email sent, so made I don't have the droney nonsense track in mp3 format anymore

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Saturday, 28 February 2009 02:08 (fifteen years ago) link

maybe you could make one giant mp3 with spaces?

yeah this would not be a problem for me once n/a uploads the mp3s
