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!

― 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.

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.

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

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.

It's not one of my tracks, but I took on a recording project for a local metal band we have played a few gigs with that didn't have a demo. It was a chance to record and mix some stuff that I had never done before, including a huge double kick kit and a band tuned down to I think Bb.
You guys like the electronic music more on this side of ILXor, but you might find this interesting. I don't think the production turned out too bad for being recorded in a living room in suburbia with a couple mattresses against the windows to keep the Romanian neighbors from calling the cops.

lots of cool stuff everyone
earlnash, that link just sends me to my own page so i couldn't listen
here's a new thing i wrote, this is about right when i got the structure nailed down so it's kind of halting performancewise, i'll need to play it a lot better than this...but overall i think it's pretty good. more folk/fingerstyle instrumental stuff recorded on my phone

Dog Latin, that first track sounds similar to the 'Bicycle Rider' motif from Heroes and Villians.
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 18 February 2013 23:42 (eleven years ago) link
Er, and that would be why it is called Bicycle Dub. Silly me!
― Chewshabadoo, Monday, 18 February 2013 23:43 (eleven years ago) link
Anyway, I like it.

been starting to go through the gear i've been accumulating over the last while and made a couple of demo tracks using nothing but the titular synth

There's a really fun album from Andy Meecham of Chicken Lips called Monophonic Volume 1 where each track is completely comprised of a particular synthesizer.

Should have some actual finished "proper" music up here quite soon, as opposed to these little sketches I've been posting up since time began.

Captain Ahab - I've been doing things here and there with breaks in between since I was about 17. I used to make a lot of tunes with DOS trackers under the name Autofire from about 1999-2004. Then I took a bit of a break from writing any music for a couple of years. Rediscovered the guitar and started playing around with Reason and stuff circa 2006. Recorded a sort of weird bedroom pop album during a bout of redundancy in 2007 under the name Mighty Sandy Heath Transmitters. I'm now in a band called Disco Zhivago, been jamming around together for about a year and a half or so but we've just played our first couple of gigs and are about to get a two-track single together.
