ILX Pre-covers Grimes's new album

it's for the best i didn't try to secure one of these, definitely would've sampled our lady peace's "4am" for this one

Damn you and your black magic sorcery

christ

ok i listened to world princess II and vanessa
her videos are super cool
i totally dig her dance moves and general look
the music seems ok if a little generic sounding?
her singing voice is not to my liking
now i know what grimes sounds like -- thank you for the recommendations

i also watched "art angels" and definitely like her as a person
i liked the part where she said producers were calling her and offering to do her job for her. that must be super irritating.
i feel like at least i know what she is about now.
what's the deadline?

June 30th!

oh -- ok then. maybe i will try to produce something! what's up for grabs?

The sound of space offered up his spot, for “So heavy I fell through the earth.”

Yes! Have fun, La Lechera!

alright then! that is A+ perfect for me. i like heavy music :)

I can rescind my contribution to "So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth" so a woman can be included in this project.

Please let me know if someone is interested in taking over.

I can also offer my place in a similar fashion.

I was late for this :(

I'm a dude but if someone else wants wants to drop out, can I get on the waiting list?

you can take Cryptid from me, daavid. not feeling it as much as i did the other day when i signed up.

Sounds good! Thank you, ciderpress!

Got it. So:

thats what the drugs r 4 -- Moodles
So Heavy i feel through the earth -- La Lechera
Darq Souls -- ShariVari
adore u (beautiful game) -- flappy bird
Black Swan Blues -- Ross
blaze forever like a useless star -- imago
Cryptid (Heavy metal magazine) -- daavid
4aem -- Le Bateau Ivre
Favourite Psycho -- Mark G
Deth Angels -- whitehallunity
Nymphs at Versailles -- AlXTC from Paris
Last call ?? -- Tom D.
B4 the fever -- Adam Bruneau

And that is FELL through the earth, I keep mistranscribing. But that does make for an interesting alternate title.

Hey lechera check out crystal ball by grimes

I’ve sent mine over - let me know if it doesn’t come through, Ned.

Any?

xpost -- got it!

Mark G I think you're recording it. :-D

It wouldn't be an ILX comp. w/out a Mark G track.

Righto.

Does anyone need help?

I’d want to do something like creating an auto-encoder that predicts the audio from an input pair of word2vec encoded title and song length (or something like that).

She's tweeting out snippets of rough mixes & demos of some of these songs (including the one I'm assigned).

June 30 deadline? Thank the Lord!

How do we know her tweets aren't actually leaked ILM material. I sense a massive lawsuit brewing.

Strange but true. Anyway, just a reminder there's two and a half weeks to go!

must not hear clips, that's some bad juju

I lined all the walls and windows of my house with space blankets precisely to avoid this problem

just a reminder there's two and a half weeks to go!

heh time to stop playing Dark Souls and start thinking about working on this.

^ you and burial too, mate

Yeah I thought I had plenty of time initially but now I realize it will be very short to get things done... (especially with the World Cup starting !)

Considering phoning it in ala Aphex Twin remix style

I had some doubts about finishing this on time but I managed to work on it this week-end (between some WC games !) and I should be able to get the whole thing done before the deadline.

I've had this about 95% done since the day we signed up, but still have a few small tweaks and mixdown that I've been dragging my feet on. Will try to get it wrapped up over the next few days.

realized i already have the backing track more or less recorded. i made something years ago that would be perfect for this, a demo from an unreleased song, looped keyboard/drums/samples. i am going to need to listen to a bunch of Grimes to figure out what sounds and lyrics i should try to add on to this. im going to try to finish a first take of this by the end of the week.

yeah pretty much almost done, stoked to play it for y'all, some grimes vocals in there but not musical

Okay, into the final week -- need the remaining tracks, plus cover art!

Was getting worried for a bit drawing a total blank but finished everything but the vocals today. Will get it in ASAP

Should be submitting this very soon.

aaah busy week but hopefully I will have the final touches done by Saturday !

Just doing the art today. Cartoons

where do i email this again? apologies in advance

ned at kuci dot org

Ned, sent you dropbox links, let me know if you run into any problems with them. My music making computer is about 100 years old and still runs windows vista.

so stoked to hear yall songs!

i made art work for this but i burned it up, literally. it was a red napkin

guys i am very sorry -- i am going to have to relinquish my spot/song -- i truly don't have much desire to do this and i have a bunch of other pressing things to work on this week.
apologies for inserting myself into this project in the first place

You’ll all good :)

Surprise bonus ambient track as a replacement! Featuring Elon Musk. Anyway no worries L.
