Have we done a shamlessly, self-promoting "The Music of ILM-ers" thread with links to download? Because I, for one, could use the feedback...

I think at least there should be a "my work" category in the questions categories.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Uhm, Geir, are the lyrics sung with a wink? I mean if so, it's hilarous, if not it's hysterical!! Either way, it made me smile, thanks.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, I suppose the "Ding Dong" and Monty Python references have quite a wink to them :)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 7 March 2005 22:59 (nineteen years ago) link

This track would not benefit from it, as, melodically, it is clearly the weakest all of all of the tracks I have recorded now. ;)

Well, yes it is. The other two were better. Lyrically, it IS astonishing.

i mustve missed something. where are the threads for the other songs?

I like this way more than Tenacious D for example.

OK. So fire away then ;)

one year passes...

OK, so I finally got my brand new Cubase SE figured out good enough to record another song - the first produced at my homestudio.

This is a bit different than the rest, as it is an electro/synthpop instrumental. In fact, this is the first song I made on the Amiga back in 1988, a song that I have made around 25 new versions of on various computers and instruments.
This 2007 version uses mostly softsynths

The song, "Eggs & Bacon" is found at my Uhørt-site:

There's something of Lionel Richie's "Hello" in the melody.

Hongro, is it me you're looking for?

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 2 February 2007 10:02 (seventeen years ago) link

sorry

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Friday, 2 February 2007 10:03 (seventeen years ago) link

The opening of Eggs & Bacon reminds me of Sabrina's "Boys, boys, boys".

Were you part of the Amiga mod scene?
The only person I can remember from it anymore is Dr Awesome/Bjørn Lynne.

― Øystein (Øystein), Friday, 2 February 2007 13:26 (seventeen years ago) link

There's something sweetly melancholy about it, nice.

"Were you part of the Amiga mod scene?"

Sort of.

"The only person I can remember from it anymore is Dr Awesome/Bjørn Lynne. "

I sure remember him too. I was active at the same time :)

While I am trying to figure out how to record vocals with satisfactory audio, I have put out yet another instrumental. This time it is a cover version for once, and the source is old: "Toccata & Fugue" by Bach. The Toccata is a rather faithful abbreviation of the original, whereas the Fugue is considerably more different.

Get out of the way, Walter/Wendy Carlos, here's Geir!

― StanM (StanM), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 23:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Hopefully this sounds slightly more modern. :)

I love "Switched On Bach" though.

thirteen years pass...

I guess I have gone completely sellout. Or.. well, Hongroe is now on all the normal typical platforms, although I guess I will never have a Hongroe CD or vinyl record I can actually hold in my hands.

I see The Man has put an E for Explicit tag on ‘Do It With You’. Clearly 2020 is still not ready for a hippo in a thong.

Hasn’t got enough rapping in it

two weeks pass...

OK. Thanks for the image of a hippo in a thong. It was useful for these lyrics (Hell, what did I smoke now???!!!???)
