The IDMf supergroup project


#21

Okay, we got a melody guy! :stuck_out_tongue:

@nose and myself are currently working on something, and @jazzyspoon is on board but hasnā€™t started yet because Iā€™m waiting for nostromerā€™s part before showing him. I was thinking I was going to have to entice people once we got some stuff done, but if youā€™re on board, I will send you the layers to the WIP that is being worked on (itā€™s only three layers, nothing crazy).

Trumpet would be amazing.


#22

Going to be laying out all the drums this weekend, stay posted :slight_smile: I think they will turn out awesome!! I have it all laid out in my head <3


#23

I can play regular styles of bass, guitar and can sing in a few styles*, but what Iā€™d really be more excited about contributing to something like this is either

  • I have a crazy amount of effects pedals and can get some real wacky Tom Morello style bits. Ring mods, wave table resynthesis, expression pitch and stuffā€¦
  • I have had a decades long habit of sampling random sounds, from carrying around a Zoom recorder to elaborate multisamples of a junk pile, washer dryer set, stuff like that.

For the guitar, it would be best if you already had the chord or riff structure. I guess you may if you have a bass, but maybe it is not roots.
For the percussion and trash atmosphere, best if I had the basic kick snare hat/whatever high thing, because I think most of these work best to accentuate those things.

*This is all me except the female vocals.
higher and smoother

lower and grumblier

More of a talking style


#24

The WIP weā€™re working on now has this classic rock riff breakdown thing that I made, which kind of reminds me of Rage, but no proper guitar (I tracked a midi guitar over it for the time being). Iā€™ll send you the track and see what you think of it.


#25

Hey, I d like to check it out too if thereā€™s no objection.
Or maybe add parts once thereā€™s guitars done.


#26

Alrighty, Iā€™m finessing my WIP before I start a proper private chat. Nostromer has an earlier version, but it wonā€™t affect his part.

Iā€™m messaging Jazzy right now telling him that I was eyeballing you for possible mixing and mastering. :wink:

Let me get this thing started a bit before adding TOO many members. Dayum, this thingā€™s heating up! :stuck_out_tongue:


#27

Mixing and mastering! Me?
Nope, Iā€™ll do guitars tho!


#28

Whoops! I had you confused with @TvMcC.

Sweet, we got two guitar guys. :+1:


#29

I hope the :guitar: amps go to eleven!

or no bed time snack for you!

Thanks fort the mention? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:


#30

Hmm this does sound like fun.from your point of view,what could i contribute?
im pretty good w/melodies and rhythms. dunno.but i am interested!


#31

I can do bass if you guys want. If real bass is even needed.


#32

I could do lo-fi (or not very) glitches and processed foley things


#33

At the moment, Iā€™ve got a private group thing going with enough members which is still taking baby steps, so I will restate what I said before: Even though I started this thread, itā€™s not only for my project, so donā€™t be afraid to reach out to people who show interest. Go get a project going! :metal:


#34

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

If this is still happening, Iā€™d love to offer some drum editing and attempts at melody to something. Possibly keysā€¦just sayin

EDIT- The aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa stays because I was apparently hitting it as I hit whatever.


#35

How about we merge this project and the IDMf ā€œdate nightā€ in one single release?


#36

I got no problem with that. :+1:

I think I should have named this thread ā€œForm your own IDMf supergroup!ā€ because Iā€™m still waiting to see if other projects get off the ground. :stuck_out_tongue:


#37

Haha! I keep telling myself I want to start one of these project threads, but not sure if we have enough interest for another project.


#38

I donā€™t know when, but I wouldnā€™t mind being involved in some kind of bass music group project at some point. At this point it would have to be after July 2019.


#39

You got it man!

Just so people knowā€¦ I am down to also write/be part of things that arenā€™t agressive/bass heavy! haha


#40

Here I am trying to pigeon hole your talent :stuck_out_tongue:
