ILX Pre-covers Grimes's new album

"4aem"

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

A woman will definitely be included in this
idk why but this made me laugh

we have received reports of female inclusion

WE HAVE CONFIRMATION OF FEMALE

LL, u should listen to Grimes

maybe i will! what is the best grimes song?

a bone of contention

no results for song title "a bone of contention"

imo world princess pt 2 but I am the only person who thinks that, try kill v maim.'realiti' (demo) is the popular choice but i much prefer the subsequent album to it

Realiti (demo)
Artangels
Easily
World Princess II
Butterfly
Vanessa
Flesh Without Blood
Genesis
Oblivion

infinite love without fulfillment never gets enough... love. imo

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

This was my exact thought as well.

I’m in

Ya want "Black Swan Blues"?

Yup!

Done. And the sound of space's offer is noted, should La Lechera want to pitch in. Otherwise for now, the tracklist is complete:

thats what the drugs r 4 -- Moodles
So Heavy i feel through the earth -- the sound of space
Darq Souls -- ShariVari
adore u (beautiful game) -- flappy bird
Black Swan Blues -- Ross
blaze forever like a useless star -- imago
Cryptid (Heavy metal magazine) -- ciderpress
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

Again, deadline June 30, and as always we'll need artwork. Send all submissions to ned at kuci dot org as always.

i'm really excited, but i've never participated in one of these. what are some good examples from the past?

These are the gold standards still

Also, the Aphex Syro one, but that's somewhat different..

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

Good things come to those who wait:
