who here actually makes music?

maybe a couple of dozen i would like to record. mostly quite different.

as to whether i ever record anything, i cant really afford a 4-track recorder and forming a band is proving to be extremely difficult, so those ideas are gonna sound very bare if its just voice and guitar. not what i imagine them to be.

i think the best thing to do is get out doing shows if you want the chance to get those songs sounding how you want them to sound. practice makes perfect, and money helps.

not that i'll ever do that. too scary.

but hey, i'm only 18, there's time yet.

"yctc011 - sean-fuck tape : **coming soon** solo electronic punk no fi action? glitch-core too and a helen love remix. its a heck of a responsibilty to take on"

www.youthclubtapeclub.com or email me, it's crap but cheap.

Anyway, yeah, me too.

In some ways, yes. But, generally, no.

Dan Perry to... oh.

that's lovely. I did always want to organise a gig by descension, which i always liked to see.

Zesty.

I have no proof of this whatsoever, so you have to take my word for it.

one year later and it's still being born. goddamn

We have done some fun recordings and are currently struggling to try and afford to release our new ep.
But its all fun!

I have tons of ancient 4-track ridiculosity still stored here, but the newest recording on that site is possibly 3 years old now.

I'm recording on a digital 4-track nowadays and hope to have summa dat stuff ready to ear-peep before the month is over. Like anybody cares ha ha.

(you can ignore the Humectant Interruption track on that page since it's not us, tho perhaps you _should_ listen to it anyway).

Still have not posted any although I have burned a few cds for friends.

The icefrosted realms of letchworth are killing the false!

I laso quiver gingerly on stage playing a tambourine and wearing a large bulb on my head for this band:-

but I guess that doesn't count really.

Nothing is online because I don't have a good way of transferring audio into my old, ancient, USB-deficient, 5-gig computer.

I play in a band with my roommate and our friend who lives downstairs. We aren't very good, but we sure are loud and noisy.

Reviving this ancient ILM thread to share ancient music of mine I've revived via Bandcamp, for the purpose of donating to good causes:

'The Irish Sea' is an album of improvisational music I made 20 years ago:https://t.co/wVEKsx9RYt

All sales donated (and I'll double them in full) to community bail funds, mutual aid funds, and racial justice organizers here: https://t.co/PmLe0JwWJg pic.twitter.com/yql2K42LuQ

I'm doubling all purchases (before Bandcamp takes their 15% cut) and donating here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd. As of 10/27, that'll be $226 so far.

It's gorgeous! Will definitely be grabbing that this evening.

Thank you, Evan!

It's funny, I made this music so long ago--literally half my life ago--and haven't made music since, such that it's not even really like I made it. Weirdly, has allowed me to like it, now; whereas I was almost embarrassed that it's what came out of me instead of some cool Brian Eno-esque thing, when I was 20.

Made my first new music in 20 years. Have to be in the mood for something quiet, melancholy and very simple--but I like it, to my surprise.

Made a new album:

Dark, thick, slightly unsettled ambient/drone but hopefully the emotion put into it comes across.

Feel free to grab it for a name-your-price of zero

I'm making a CD version of the album I released digitally a few weeks ago (previous post), with the addition of a cover of Low's "Laser Beam," and want to give it a new cover.

This is the music: https://ianmanire.bandcamp.com/album/evensong

I've narrowed down to these two options:

Option A: conveys reverberance, unease, mystery of the music. "Cooler," more graphical

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F6uTO4cW8AAqe93?format=jpg&name=large

Option B: captures organic vs inorganic, beauty in decay, slightly chaotic quality of the music. "Warmer," more abstract.

For reference, rear cover and inside cover:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F6uTiadWkAAcHkc?format=jpg&name=large

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F6uTZqWWIAAkqd5?format=jpg&name=large

Any thoughts?

Yeah, Option B seems the better choice. The shift in mood between Option A and rear cover is jarring and they seem to work against each other.

Thank you!

Yeah, much as I like the under-the-bridge album, I think it's ultimately too clean and a gular for this music, which is more breathing and messy.
