Announcing IDMf066 VA - Open Genre Compilation Competition

At least you got to see Cave and Greenwood! I’m not really a Nick Cave fan but even I can look at that and see how much of an amazing show it would have been.Just piano and bass right? Legendary.

#42

@metaside got it!

As a reminder please everyone just keep your tracks up and don’t worry if you don’t see anything hit the download count until subs close.

#43

Yup, it could have been much worse. One weird thing is a guitar (thankfully I didn’t care too much about) started getting mold inside its gig bag (on the neck and some strings rusted). I removed the strings & deep cleaned it. Don’t think the electronics got fucked but I haven’t plugged it yet, we’ll see.

The wall was fixed this morning. Now I have to wait on the cleaning of the carpet before I can move my things back and access music desk & synths… Hoping it’s done by next Wednesday at the latest.

I’m going to try & get some monies from the renters’ insurance. Not holding my breath there.

Thank you and well done to your brother - that’s the spirit!!

#45

Yes. He’s such an incredible performer. He would just get up between songs, talk to the audience and you could feel the charisma from a mile away. One of his recent songs is “Balcony Man” so he told folks on the balcony (where I was) to go wild every time he said “balcony man”. That was epic, as we’d get up and scream or clap as loudly as possible throughout the whole song.

I love his early albums - especially “Your funeral…” and “Tender Prey”. Kind of stopped listening for a while after Blixa Bargeld left the Bad Seeds and caught up a bit with his numerous later records recently.

#46

That’s awesome. Nothing quite like a live show especially if it’s music you love that you can give yourself over to. Sounds like you did.

#47

Subbed.

#48

@Manton received :wink:

#49

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on something for this release! I am torn between one of two songs I’ve done. A pure ambient live piece I did with an OB-6, Sub37, and a Lyra-8.
or
a song built of samples from my library, starts ambient reminiscent of Burial, then changes into something else entirely.
Decisions…decisions…

#50

I wanna hear both!

#51

while mine ended up basically being a bootleg

#52

1 week/7 days 'n counting…

#53

I love the idea of both pieces and would love to hear each one. If you’re open to it, submit both.

#54

I submitted the ambient one already, just checking the peaks on the second submission.

#55

heh, I always feel like my stuff never fits the idmf vibe

edit: honestly just having a little anxiety today and funneling into worrying about this seemed fairly harmless lol

#56

dude this is gonna be an awesome release. can’t wait <3

#57

this needs to be discussed on a side topic. my goodness i’ve been wanting to discuss track length for a long time <3

#58

Dude! Where’s your submission? You got time :slight_smile:

#59

i’ll think about it seriously tonight. but i might pass. my life is not very stable atm. i wouldn’t want to throw something into the universe that i made foolishly. and regret it later. i got to take a long look at my life. and consider alot of stuff. but i want to. i really do. and i may- i just need 2 days to think it over. what really means worthiness ya know?

#60

Of course. Look after yourself. :slight_smile:
