Oh yeah, mine is done, too. Well, it was done weeks ago but I'm still contemplating swapping a siren synth sound for a crumhorn after the medieval music workshop at Lewes Castle last weekend. Should we pop them on Soundcloud and just add them to a group or something?

i wanted to do Super Bass but couldn't find an acapella :(

Broken Record (Madrigal Breakdown mix):

http://soundcloud.com/karendtregaskin/broken-record-madrigal

No idea what sound quality that is at (probably pretty poor) let me know if you'd rather an AIFF version and I'll toss it on YSI.

(My original demo is on that Soundcloud, too, with the metallic siren synth and sounding a lot more like the original but Lex actually suggested taking it off - I'd scored out a string quartet and it was occupying exactly the same sonic space, too busy)

my laptop has been acting wonky, and the new one i ordered hasn't shipped yet. in the meantime, i will pull this together the best i can. send links to j o d y . b e t h ***at*** g m a i l ***dot*** c o m

high-quality files appreciated: aiff, wav, 320kbps mp3, as long as it's nothing weird that i can't open.

rather than repeat the list from upthread about who was gonna submit what at the time, i'd rather know where you're all at now, if you still plan to contribute, and what song you're going with ultimately.

are you are missing whiney (get bent), Monday, 6 June 2011 00:26 (twelve years ago) link

I need to send a new version. I adjusted the mix a bit.

Spo-Dee-O-Dee-Dopaliscious! (The Reverend), Monday, 6 June 2011 01:18 (twelve years ago) link

I still plan on contributing. I am ruminating deeply over "tik tok".

I can have something for sunday 26th june, and it's now likely to be "Nothin' on You" by B.o.B.

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 13 June 2011 14:50 (twelve years ago) link

or that song about barbra streisand

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 13 June 2011 14:52 (twelve years ago) link

NO I CHANGED MY MIND I WANT TO DO "BARBRA STREISSAND" BY DUCK SAUCE

maximum biker daddy realness (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 13 June 2011 17:05 (twelve years ago) link

hahahahahaaha

are you are missing whiney (get bent), Monday, 13 June 2011 21:57 (twelve years ago) link

stevie D are you really doing it?

maybe we can all collaborate somehow by sending in our bit... i want to hear ned say barbra streissand.

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 10:19 (twelve years ago) link

I'm gonna liberate my 4-track!

I can do any song, because it won't sound like the original anyway - was thinking maybe of doing "Born this Way" - i only will use my casio pt-10, toy accordian, rap and sing keyboard and cardboard boxes/water bottles to make the sounds.

resonate with awesomeness (jel --), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 15:29 (twelve years ago) link

Or maybe I'll do GaGa's "Hair".

resonate with awesomeness (jel --), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 15:30 (twelve years ago) link

casio pt-10

I have one of these! I can recommend the 'fantasy' preset through a big reverb.

wtf is wrong with people? (snoball), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 15:51 (twelve years ago) link

I can recommend swirling it over a microphone with the keys held down for UFO sounds!

resonate with awesomeness (jel --), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link

how we doin'?

are you are missing whiney (get bent), Sunday, 19 June 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link

pretty good (although still awaiting to hear which song stevie d decided to do!)

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 20 June 2011 10:32 (twelve years ago) link

at this point my life is p crazy and despite decent effort I don't think I'm going to be able to ACTUALLY get anything done/finished, so feel free to do "Barbra Streisand" (or that Daughtry song I claimed earlier)

brie on crüt (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 20 June 2011 13:35 (twelve years ago) link

mine is pretty crazy too - will try my best to make a good version!

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 20 June 2011 13:36 (twelve years ago) link

I have the instrumental part p much done but I haven't had a chance to record vocals yet!!

151 bieber gang (absolutely clean glasses), Monday, 27 June 2011 09:11 (twelve years ago) link

i can have this finished around sunday this week.

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 27 June 2011 09:37 (twelve years ago) link

I've been at an impasse on mine for several weeks now. I have one idea that might salvage it, but I'll need a few days. Otherwise, I could maybe make what I've done so far available for someone else to tinker with? I dunno, I probably shouldn't have even bothered with this.

Don Rickles on the Dime (jaymc), Monday, 27 June 2011 13:02 (twelve years ago) link

i'm cool with an extension. i haven't received that many tracks yet anyway.

feta coulis (get bent), Monday, 27 June 2011 13:10 (twelve years ago) link

I started my track but yeah need more time

people are posting on the internet moonship (Edward III), Monday, 27 June 2011 13:29 (twelve years ago) link

I'm *almost* done -- just tweaking a few things.

jaymc, Sunday, 3 July 2011 16:47 (twelve years ago) link

same here. almost (watching pulp got in the way last weekend)

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 4 July 2011 15:52 (twelve years ago) link

two weeks pass...

is this still a thing? cuz I've got a rough mix now.

Any one can have ketchup for their food, I don't care any more (Edward III), Saturday, 23 July 2011 06:55 (twelve years ago) link

it is still a thing, even if we have to put it out as a mini-LP instead of our usual night-of-a-thousand-ilxors.

the table is the do the standing still (get bent), Saturday, 23 July 2011 15:46 (twelve years ago) link

St Swithins Day has been and gone, and we will have 40 more days of ILX0rs be finishing their mixes, I guess?

Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Sunday, 24 July 2011 14:32 (twelve years ago) link

did you ever get jaymc/ken c's?

After much anguish, mine was sent and received.

jaymc, Sunday, 24 July 2011 22:47 (twelve years ago) link

hi guys my mac exploded last week and together with my recording on garageband. i can do it again but it'll take a couple of weeks (and try and find a good PC program to record on my laptop), so don't wait for me if you're all ready :(

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 25 July 2011 13:54 (twelve years ago) link

spent days trying to fix a digital glitch in best take of main vocal track, if you hear it just smile and pretend you didn't

big triffid in my backyard (Edward III), Monday, 1 August 2011 15:10 (twelve years ago) link

orinoco flowbee (get bent), Monday, 1 August 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
