Music making!!!

[Sweet Blue Girl]

I hope not!
Anyway I will try to not make it happen.

I did some pms to keep the project alive.

I  guess everyone makes music or likes to play could be interested in having a part in this, it's just a start, accepting doesn't mean you have to work on every song, it's called collab for this... A way to put energies togheter and talk of music, sharing our music fighting the shyness, and even asking help, or giving help.

I just want to say that the first part of this little thing ( called love... Uhmm Queens rule ) was a success, we can start with yet 8 people wanting to play the game ( Queens again uhmm ).
From the ones I contacted  still 2 components are missing but in few days I'll send the first mailgroup letter, if someone reads this post and find the whole thing interesting, pleas pm me and we can start to ride the wild wind!

I make electronic music, generally "experimental" with elements of ambient, glitch, powernoise and other things.   You can find some of my stuff at fallsastar.com, but none of it is less than a couple years old.

I took a break from it until recently and joined a semi-pro taiko drumming group.  However, our rehearsal studio does not have adequate acoustics for recording, and borrowing and transporting equipment elsewhere for recording isn't feasible.

I do play hand drums, mostly frame drums.  I'm not an expert but can keep a beat, or sample and manipulate.  I have a few other instruments I do the same with (alto and tenor recorders, guitar, theremin, etc.)

As far as collaborations go, I can provide some rhythm tracks, pads and ambiences and noises, etc., or take your tracks and go nuts with them.  One of the albums I did used vocal samples from friends in every track, heavily manipulated, though they were entirely my compositions and not really collaboration per se.  Could be fun though.

Nice!
Welcome! You should just pm me your mail and I ll add you to the mailing list!
As you see the collaboration will come out very freely with just the original author of each song choosen, each time making the integration of the work of the persons avaiable and involved, we can have fun just playing on basis made by others till adding our help and see it included in the song...
Drum parts are always welcome! As much as fx or even more manipulated track!!!

Hi.  I play bass, guitar, and keyboard.  I'd love to help out, but it's going to have to wait for a bit because I'm rather busy with life in general at the moment and I'm trying to work on my own collaborative project.  If everyone's itching to work on something right this minute, I'd love extra help on my project, which is all ready for people to join in.  You can download the work files at http://www.mediafire.com/?0dcak9mudwaps9l if you'd like.  As far as my recent work, you can hear it at http://soundcloud.com/mayazimmerman

I have been checking out everyone's music today.  There's clearly a lot of talent here and in my experience, getting people with varied styles like this together can result in some amazing music, if done right.  I'm excited by the prospect, if we can get it all going...

As far as .wav vs. .mp3, I go with .wav all the way.  Back when I had a good interface, I recorded at 96 kHz and 32 bit.  Aside from having masters that will sound better as audio technology improves in the future, your filters applied at that rate sound better when the master is mixed down to 44.1 kHz and 16 bit.

As far as minor vs. Major keys, music theory is a tool, not a set of rules or commandments.  The keys exist in their forms for structural simplicity.  There is a valid harmonic basis for just about any combination of notes and a lot of open guitar chords use both a Major third and a minor seventh, because they're "good".

I'd go with 44khz and 16 bit wavs maybe 24 bit not more, just because i would have to convert them to open them in Logic 9.

Glad to have you here!

If you pm me i can add you to the mailing list! We're completing the team in all the required fields... We have more than one mind and a lot of creative potential, with a bit of introduction we could start to share and add to our music the thing we always missed, the collaboration no synth can give, the human touch we search in every composition!

I'd go with 44khz and 16 bit wavs maybe 24 bit not more, just because i would have to convert them to open them in Logic 9.

Yeah, keeping it at that rate will make it pretty accessible across everyone who would be working on it. Not to mention it will avoid massive file sizes.

[Maya Zimmerman]

Yeah, I don't expect anyone to do 96 kHz and 32 bit for collaboration over the internet.  That would be ridiculous.  I just mean that we should go with .wavs over .mp3s.  44.1 and 16 will be perfectly fine.

I've listened to the first couple of songs so far, I like your sound!

Thanks so much

Thought I would bump this, but I mentioned I would post a song when I did one. So I ended up doing one for the channel I'm in. So here it is hope you like.
