and I see singingboy can do some vocals..... words words words....

I'd love to take part, if only I was an artist...

But as a music lover, I'm waitin' for something to happen in here...

There are plenty of you who are willing... Get it on already...

The "most' willing participant is knockin' himself out in the meantime!

Sounds like a cool idea!! Maybe we should start with a nice beat, nothing too nutso, just a tight groove. So whoever is the king of that here could get it started, then the bass dudes each play a couple of bars (in whatever key is the consensus choice). Whoever is the king producer here then lays out the bass lines in an order they see fit. Once that foundation is set everyone can chip in as little or as much as they like. Leave it to the producer to lay it out again, then the whole cycle repeats until we've got a long ass jam that everyone can be proud of
how does that sound?

Hey I like nutso....

lunapark



but please..... lets just continue talking about doing somethang.....

If it helps get anything started, feel free to use the following lyrics. I always planned on using these for a song, but I hadn't been inspired to write the music yet. The lyrics are very personal, if anyone is interested please go ahead. Let me know what you think.

ERASED

I'm the one never spoken about
I can only be whispered on a mid-summer's eve
The clouds over me are far too many
For them to ever stop and think of what I believe

I'm the one who is the outcast
Because I decided to stray too far from home
I never really deserved their love
So I don't exist and I deserve to be all alone

They've all made it clear that they're ashamed
That we share the same blood, the same last name
There are family pictures, but they don't bear my face
Like dust from the rain, time and again, I've been erased

I'm the one fallen by the wayside
Unnoticed because of religion and race
There are no phone calls and blind eyes are turned
As it turns out the invisible man needs his space

Hearts can't be traded like tokens
Conditions shouldn't be placed on someone's love
No olive branch of sincerity
Could stitch the wounds and feel no healing could ever be enough

No turning back, because things can't be the same
Even though I share their blood, their last name
I'm now gone and there isn't any trace
Of the life I've been living, the love I've been giving
I've been erased

No eyes to behold my long-forgotten face
Their backs turned cold on this lonely soul, I've been erased.

Hi TheQuest

I wouldnt want
to recreate the
experience you
have written about

so....
I have to ask...
how flexible are you
with having various alterations
made to these words by members here.... ???


1 more question that is optional for you....
- How long ago was this piece created?

Hi,

I'm not against various alterations of the words to fit the musical theme as both the music and lyric should reflect each other. The only request that I would make is that no curse words or sensitive material are added and if interested we try to stick to the theme.

Otherwise I'd like to hear how others interpret the lyric to bring it to song. Also, in answer to your question this piece was created within the last year so it is fairly recently created.

Thanks.

Firstlight should be back in a minute..... PLEASE HOLD




thanks for the reply TheQuest

ME 2. OR PRINCE IF UALL WANT ME 2.
PS.- I'M NEW, @ LEAST ON THIS FORUM.

This is very cool and actualy easy to do.
I have a machine that can quantize everything, even the key,
so if someone is out of key or time, i can warp them into time and key.
Drums at 100 bpm with bass in the key of C is no problem,
You mean low c? As in off a 5 string bass?
I can post a MP3 in here by friday, then, you guys add to it, Ill down load it and repost the quantized piece, as people keep adding, Ill keep bouncing tracks, and quantizing you in and posting the next segment. Its actualy easy if we aint lazy....

I was just talking about this in another thread..
I Could care less about rights or $$ , its about the jam.
I could care less if i hear it on the radio next summer,
wouldnt be the first time...
wont be the last.

If I post a Mp3 of a minute of funky drums and bass
will you guys add to it? Ill Q it all in , make it sounda gooda
Then do what I really do and throw some rhythm guitar in....

Thats should be o.k. with Firstlight... possibly...

So did anyone start with this yet?

Yes, I got several drum beats for everyone to pick from
I have practice tonight, Ill be recording the bass lines and
then posting them on a server for everyone to goto listen from the pieces and pick which one we want to move forward with, if you guys think they all suck, you can fire me, or ill post some new ones next week. But I plan on having some beats and bass in the key of C at 100 BPM as instructed By tomorrow Night Midnight central time.
If I am stepping on toes or anything, I do not want to be, this is just totally fun to me...

Great! Really looking forward to your stuff. I don't know if there's a list with contributors here or if I'm even good enough to help with anything, but maybe I'd like to put something on it, too. On a completely non-spectacular level, though.

happy happy!

How come everyone is so set on this happy key of C? Especially with lyrics that are so somber?

TheQuest said:

Like those lyrics a lot.

calldapplwondery83 said:

Thank you very much. The lyrics are very personal and I'm looking forward to hearing this collaboration. There are some talented people here.

Where is First light?
I got a lot done on this but dont want to continue
without them, it was thier idea first....
I got a way to post the clips so everyone can hear them, for free ofcourse
and vote on them so everyone can be involved.
in a way that wont keep hogging this forum by popping the thread up on top all the time. More to come....
Where are you First Light? Need your blessings to move on....

Mine as well put this here now so the moderator can check it also. I promise, there will not be any pop ups, nothing for sale, no log ins, no cookie tracking, Ill be a good little orger, I promise, this is just to advance the love of the idea of this project of a ORG colaboration... Please check it out.
www.tonejoint.com This is to k...well, check it out...
[Edited 9/1/06 11:45am]

Firstlight is the overlord...
he'll be back to put his name
to it again when its finished...

these sorts of threads should be bump'n
to the top all the time...

some people like to share...
and others just wanna give it to ya.... HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

Ok, cool
Well, I did what I said and then some,
we got 5 beats posted and a track with bass and
a experimental track with some electric geetar.
You can hear me mess up the drums In the second roll
I think, But, its all good, once we pick a beat and stuff, Ill clean it all up.

For the record, I do not have a degree in mpls funk, more like a Diploma, ok, more like a GED, I lived in Minnesota for about 8 months, and jammed in minneaplois, but, I had to leave, tooooo cold!!!

So, here it is, Officialy, 5 beats and a way to vote on them...

Hay.... theyre wav's

What happened to MP3's????

Personally... I like WMA...
coz ya can vary the speed really easy with the player....


still at 44% of the first beat.... and waiting....

I figured for now, wavs are easy to bounce trax down to and
everyone pretty much uses windows and it is automatically set to use quiktime which is a default for windows for most, so, just about anyone should be able to hear them...
Let me know if the wavs present problems, Ill format them to 3's
I gotta go, Im beat, I went to work early, set up the tone joint on my lunch and
played all that stuff tonight and then posted it. Its a holiday weekend so, Ill be around...


Thanks be brutal...
they are live beats, so, I can quantize to a techno type of beat but....
Prince uses a real drummer Live.....I do everything live and Mic it.

Gt

Good night to all!

here try this

This reminds me of the beat NPG was playing
that saturday night n chitown on musicology when
P came out and said "Welcome to the party"
everyone went nuts!!

guitstoopid said:

Whimp! Don't ya know the cold preserves your brain??

I plan to listen to your tracks too since this is what this thread's about
and all...but later when I have time to do it justice...

And for the record...I'm a music lover, and not a musician....

So I'll be all "ears".....
[Edited 9/2/06 19:16pm]

Yea, Im into preserving my brain, but not cryogenecally!
For anyone thats never been to MN in the winter time, COLD does not describe it.

http://www.tonejoint.com/...kymama.mp3

anywho, there ya go, Bass drums and guitar, I did all 3,
its a tad sloppy and on the reserved side, And I did it in Mp3.
It was like 2 o'clock in the mornin.....
