Awwww glad that you're getting your vocal abilities back and definitely going hard in that video! Now I would like to learn to do scream vocals myself too, but more for breakcore style stuff! I just worry I'll hurt my voice. Do you find that an issue?

Btw are you a furry? You give furry vibes 😻

LOL Well, I never labeled myself as a furry. Honestly, I think that the label is a little silly. But what can ya do? LOL It's all good.

Honestly, there was no real effort in doing it. I just did it. It always tripped people out. This will sound boastful. But I would put my vocals up against any of the bands back in the 90s. I wanted to be a vocalist in a band. But no one knew what I was talking about. Oh, well.

If you aren't dealing with any throat issues, you could find your own way to do it. You just need to experiment, is all. I remember when I had to see an ENT doc, and he snaked a camera up my nose and down into my throat. I asked him if there were any nodules since I had my eyes closed, AND I was covering my closed eyes with my hands. He told me no and asked why I brought it up. I mentioned that I was into Death Metal and I had spent many, many years screaming and growling my head off. He got a good chuckle out of that and said that everything was fine. I was surprised.

Here's a wild idea: The two of you do a collaboration project?

There is a book by Stephen King and Peter Straub called The Talisman. They each did a chapter of the story from their own point of view.

Likewise, Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells, etc.) plays all of the instruments by laying down a track, then listening to it while playing a different instrument and recording it.

What if you two took turns laying down a track, with the other playing accompaniment, then sent it back and forth to add more tracks or adjust something? It doesn't have to be perfect, or even good. It just sounds like it might be a fun project to play with.

It's all good in the hood. Just stay out of the Carson/Davis area. Well, there's also the Get Along Gang fanfiction. When I was on the now long-defunct Noiseguide forum, I drove everyone absolutely insane babbling about this. It cracked me up.

I'm not sure how old you are, and I don't feel right asking. So, I will just say this: I'm old. LOL, I didn't even get on the net until 9/4/05. Why do I remember that date? Because Napalm Death and Obituary were playing up the road, and I had no idea that the tour was on OR that Obituary had even reunited. 9/8/05 was one of the greatest nights of my life. Even when I almost got run over by a crazy driver. LOL That was nuts. Everyone saw it too, since we were waiting on Obituary and getting some air. The place exploded when Napalm came on. It was amazing. But that room turned into a sauna. 250 to 300 people slamming and diving. It was beautiful. I spent 90% of ND and Obituary by the front of house soundboard.

So, yeah, I was well into my 20s when I got online. I think I made my first account here around late June of '06.

I've done that with people before when it comes to Noise stuff. LOL, I NEVER care about perfection in my music. Sure, I might nitpick it later. But I treat each recording as a moment in time. I just throw it out there, warts and all. Especially for the first 5 years. I was using a Sony voice recorder since recording via a computer was way too intimidating. So, yeah, some of the more musical tracks suffered for sure.

I have ZERO musical talent. But while listening to Ambient guitar, I pictured Charlotte's House music layered into it. Not over it, but mixed in so both rise and fall, with each taking turns moving from foreground to background. Add a beat and maybe the occasional vocal (shouts, grunts, or whatever). It was just an idea.

As I said, I have zero musical talent.

These days, you can do a LOT with software instruments. I remembered when I listened to the first Deadform demo, and they mentioned using both hardware and software synths (in addition to bass, guitar, drums, and vocals). Dino from Dystopia is on drums and vocals in that band. Killer stuff!

I'm not mega young and am 45 next Thursday! I first got on the internet in 1997 when i was 16 and left my own devices on there. Those were very intersting times!!

Oh, okay. So, you're only a few years younger than me. Actually, if anyone here is into weird Noise stuff, I can link this, I suppose:

This is a thing that my friend made. It would tickle him pink to know that I am putting this here. Plenty of software noise AND games as well. It blew my mind when he showed me this when I was out at his house.

I heard this on GTA 5 on the LowDown 91.1 station. I was actually singing along to this a few minutes ago, and by the halfway point, I could tell that things were starting to warm up a bit. So, that was cool.

BUT!

This changes from day to day. Especially if I am really snoring (and drooling on Portia. Ugh) Things can be a bit rough. But sipping on some Peppermint Tea is good. There are times when I just sip on hot water if I don't feel like tea. Space 103.2 has some killer jams too.


I heard Conor and Jay back on the first GTA. Julie Wemyss is a massive influence on me when it comes to female vocalists. Brilliant!

I don't know if this was only a single on vinyl or what. This only showed up a few months ago. This would be the companion to "Change" in my mind. That chorus rules!
