yeah, this is great, like some epic kraftwerk shit

That's sorta my goal. Heavily influenced by first generation uk techno/IDM and the prettier side of vintage Detroit/Chicago techno and house with Mir of a new wave/kraut rock vibe combined with a bit of experimentation and incompetence.
― dan selzer, Friday, 28 December 2012 14:52 (eleven years ago) link
incompetence is always a good seasoning when used lightly
― Rolling "2 chainz" draadje (The Reverend), Friday, 28 December 2012 17:48 (eleven years ago) link
I gave an old track a bit of a mix, sharpened the arrangement and put some hats at the beginning (for DJs). Lots of pianos/electric pianos and a little Justin Timberlake vocal. You can download it if you so desire.

Can you tell us a bit about how you recorded that? Synths? Guitar feedback? Contact mics on a motorcycle? It sounds kid of like all of those but I can't figure out how it was done.

Contact mics on a motorcycle?
ooh i like this idea
we recorded some engine revs not long ago and it was a very satisfying result
― trayce war (electricsound), Saturday, 12 January 2013 10:22 (eleven years ago) link
I clipped one of these cheap clip-on contact mics
http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop_image/product/4351-korg-cm100-contact-mic-for-tuners-large.jpg
onto a sabian china cymbal on a carpeted floor, with the mic sort of squished between the cymbal and the floor. I ran it through some compression + distortion but didn't do any knob tweaking during; the sounds you hear are just my doing different things to the cymbal. The rapid-fire engine sound is just me twitching my hand near the mic/pressing the cymbal lightly into the carpet. I ran it through my bass amp and propped up my Zoom H4n so it was right in front of the subwoofer.

for those of you who like motorcycle engine sounds I recommend Un Chien Catalan by Vagina Dentata Organ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv2pbF77S0U
xp great stuff.I recorded this in the middle of last year. A homemade contact mic taped to an inkjet printer, put through effects, including a pitch correction plug-in that outputs MIDI notes, controlling a soft synth.https://soundcloud.com/snoball/track-8

Well, it ain't printer music (cool shit snoball i like your stuff) but here is a dubby techno house song my partner and I made last year that I've recently come back to. It samples Nico Fidenco and a finnish folk tune.https://soundcloud.com/archaeli/sotto-voce

― tylerw, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 18:39 (eleven years ago) link
can't listen while i'm at work, but nice song selection! it's a stone cold classic that relatively few people have heard
― Z S, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 18:41 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, and it is just two chords, so that helps too! i think our version turned out OK, it's an iphone basement recording gussied up in garageband, so nothing fancy. listening to the thing crackle box posted, kind of great!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 18:44 (eleven years ago) link
nice tylerw, you the singer? sounds pretty good for an iphone recording.
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 19:07 (eleven years ago) link
yeah the original recording is just me on guitars/vocals and the drummer, but i added bits and bobs (and a doubled vocal) later. i too am sort of surprised at how nice the quality is! we just put the iphone over on the washing machine and play. modern technology!

I want it to have echo and atmospheric stuff
― Brian Eno's Mother (Latham Green), Friday, 25 January 2013 19:07 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i hope to use a recording device that isn't a phone in the future! but yeah i agree, i think if i try to *really* record i'm going to have to do some sort of distinctive production, my playing isn't good enough for a straight-up "close mic'd acoustic guitar" sound
― mh (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 25 January 2013 19:40 (eleven years ago) link
you should just throw the iphone tracks in Garageband (or whatever DAW you have available) and experiment with some mixing/effects/background textures. i'm a big fan of lo-fi, carelessly recorded elements mixing with clean in-the-box synths or whatever.

i have access to protool....i can't use it very well though...good idea

sorry to spam on this again but i redid the song i posted the other day a few times and came up with this instead: https://soundcloud.com/weinventyou/call-and-response

that's very cool, a bit the knife meets xiu xiu (ON ACID!!!!!!).
i just tried to upload something but soundcloud blocked it because it thinks i've plagiarised this

new remix out today, juke-meets-bounce vibes. i'd been wanting to mess around with Triggaman samples in another tempo/context for awhile.

video of my band playing last night.. obv it's just camera-quality sound but it gives you an idea:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgtB0m6uG-c
You can only barely see me in this video since I am off to the right lurking in the shadows. When the camera pans my way you mostly just see my hands.

old project but was reminded of it by the cd vs vinyl thread, sounds much cooler on cassette! this song is partly about zool.

I just downloaded most of your tracks. I dig them. They're just weird enough to be interesting.

― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 16 February 2013 15:22 (eleven years ago) link
I try to straddle a line between my stream-of-conciousness indulgence and something which could hopefully work on the dancefloor. It’s hard to talk about your own music without sounding pretentious isn’t it?
― Chewshabadoo, Saturday, 16 February 2013 15:24 (eleven years ago) link
I feel like I can relate to it. I'm attracted to certain kinds of music that not only sound like I like it, but sound like something I would want to do. A few of your tracks have that vibe for me.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 16 February 2013 17:01 (eleven years ago) link
I stayed 3 months in an uninsulated cabin (ala Boniver) recording house music with my buddy. I'm proud of this track but I have no idea if anyone would actually dance to it. At the very least, if you give it a listen, I thank you.
