  • @jim5 sounds very early 90s, especially reminiscent of Orbital. It's a cool piece with an interesting rhythm part (Patterning at play). My favourite part is the second half once the additional lead instruments are introduced, there's a lot more interesting stuff going on from then on. Cool choice of sounds.

  • Mixing now. Where's the Kenwood cos that'll make a better job. Matchsticks!
    Different music (?) from this stable.....I dunno.......dance? Only I can apparently! Will see at 10.

    interesting tune with lots of different sounds and textures, and a slightly odd mix of ethereal melodic keys and found sounds. The pieces don't really feel like they belong together...

    thanks for listening Richard, you nail it pretty well - sometimes these pieces seem to alter my perceiption of timing and make me chase an idea that isn't even there yet.
    Listening to the stuff a couple of days later often ends in an 'omg' :o
    I had hoped to add some vocals to the slower section, but then duty called - and wasn't that motivating at all... I'll consider your hints when I continue :)

    cheers, Tom

  • Think i will use this as my SOTMC one year anniversary tune. Blood sweat and real tears so it makes sense.

    Thanks for your encouragement during this 48 hours challenge. Kept me motivated. Thanks.

    The rock n roll note inspired music idea, thanks to the only geezer that had the patience to teach me the one finger, one note version...my dead old man....(middle part and right at the very end, if you are tuning in from.... ) For the lyrics.....an ex, who would quake in her fur lined boots. Especially the "fuckin news at ten" line. The killing Joke. ;)

    All played live on Cyclops. No loopage involved...haven't tried that one yet. Wanted to feel Cyclops come crunching through my finger tip....Still on one finger dad! Drums..the usual and spat into the iPads guts through it's internal throat! Must get a mic sometime soon.

    Two nightmare parts. Changing the drums time between 0.25 and 0.32, and "Brea - king point" at 1.30.

    May need some volume (2 clicks down from max) mastering issues. I am fried....fucked....emotional. Would i do it again............course i poxy would. Love a bit of musical pain. Good for the soul.

    Cheers all.

  • @Bluepunk wow. What I love LOVE about music is how we can make things that if put in a box and given to any therapist would send them immediately to the cupboard for the straitjackets and horse pills. "So, Mister Punk, you seem to have some unresolved anger issues..." :)

    Good for you for taking on the Cyclops beast (and it is a beast). Powerful thing. Also found it funny that our understanding of language is far more exact when it comes to any of the main words in the swearing section of the dictionary.

    Was fun to watch you dive in over the past two days and especially well demonstrated by the yellow legal pad lyric sheet with full smearing. I will never understand your atavistic need to include that odd football shirt, but madness must be given its own head I suppose....now, just think, by the time we're banging on your door for next month's the season will be well under way and Citeh will have already won two or their first three games... :)

    I think that past 48 were incredibly therapeutic hours. Bitch! ;) . All out now doc. A couple of days R & R including a visit or two to Petronella (fantastic Swedish massage therapist) will ease the throbbing ears..........Yes, ears!

    Now, as for the football............ I haven't been this excited, buzzing for a Derby in a long time........ I'll be there (if Frank comes up with a ticket. Better do or his missus WILL find out about what happened on an away day last year!) chanting the usual to Ibra....."your just a shit Andy Carrol." No, he's class. Getting on a bit & mad as a hatter so he should fit in well with zee reds.

    Thanks for your support. Bath & bed. The wife can now have her house back. No one allowed to enter over this period. I'm gunna miss it in some strange way. It took me over.

    If I don't put this place back together very quickly, my football days are numbered. Picture the lady in Tom & Jerry......maybe.....I'm knackered.

    "Where's my deodorant?" Great pretend mic size. Hair brush too small. Threw it. Break - King point line frustration. Bin.

    "Where's the TV remote?" I really do not know! Why did I need that?

    "Where's the new deck chair?" Fuck! ;)

    Cheers.

  • Sorry. I've only had two dogs for quality control (& briefly Pete the Pill to see if it's danceable or not....never, ever again) & after a couple of others who've drifted back through the front door have listened, they were shocked at the amount of swearing in this song......even by my standards. Sorry. Detention & lines again for me....... Fu....no better not!

    Sleep.

  • @Bluepunk great to hear you branching out into another genre, this one is a bit of a contrast to the poppy band demo you posted last time around. I thought the Cyclops playing was epic, and really like the musical backing to this one. Drums of course are excellent.

    The vocal is pretty raw, but then it's a pretty raw song, seething with anger and spite. It reminds me a lot of Firestarter by The Prodigy, with the gritty electronic backing with the crazy bass line and the punky shouted vocals. The lead synth sounds are really good as well, it's very rare for me to like noisy non-melodic sounds but those work really well.

    I think this is a really promising musical direction. I'm glad you're trying new things, and this kind of gritty electronica suits your style well. It's still punky, but with a more contemporary edge, I think you should keep going down this particular rabbit hole.

    You're a bit of a conundrum really, when you post feedback of other people's tunes you're the sunniest sweetest person to ever post on the internet, and then you post your own music and you're the angriest man alive. I guess all those years of following Citeh have taken their toll...

  • @TGiG Congratulations on posting your vocal debut :) I can say with absolute certainty that it was way better than my own personal vocal debut, which was wildly out of tune.

    Comparing this to the original I would say it's missing some of the manic energy in the Devo track - the synth lead that comes in before the vocal is much more intense on the Devo track, your version is a bit more sedate, almost laid-back. The vocal also doesn't have the intensity of the original, but it's a pretty difficult thing to pull off, especially on your debut. Your voice is mostly on-pitch though, which is the main thing, I think in this case it would have been just a case of trying to get the right performance, maybe just trying again on another day would nail it.

    Now that you have taken the first step of posting a vocal performance in public, you should commit to doing it again every month. I reckon in six months time your voice will have blossomed and everyone will be commenting on it - you've got the raw material there, it just needs some more practice.

    Thanks Richard. I miss my make shift studio already. Like waking up on a Monday after a weekend on the lash with the chaps...memories. Not very clear but you know it was a buzz. There's that ache of wanting/needing to know what actually happened. Good & bad.
    My missus can see what happened. I'm off to get replacements this morning!

    Haha, you got me! I like my "real" life to be as loving & beautiful as it can be but in art, books, music, comedy I want it to challenge, hurt, mess with my darker senses. It used to be the other way around but this is a much more healthier way to exist. One minute a safe, normal family grandfather, the next a raving psychopath! It's those extremes again. Story of many a life! I enjoy it.

    Thanks gaffer. No lines this time. See, I keep telling Blues fans that there ARE some wonderful, caring reds out there! ;)

    Well, that was like watching old Baumgartner fall to earth! All weekend watching and waiting, the buildup to this momentous occasion and you didn't disappoint Bluey. As your year on the SOTMC anniversary this is a fitting love letter to your musical spirit, I have the word blooming a few times and it suits perfectly. What I love about this track is that live feel from having played and reacted in real time to song progressing. Looping wouldn't have given you half the immediacy you get from trying to push those buttons or pixels on the screen at the right times. And where the first quarter is about getting warmed up, the second section where the music and vocals fold in on each other is pretty damn exciting.

    Technically, there were places where I missed the lyrics, had to go and hunt for that 'news at ten' line, but on the whole the lyrics worked well so it would need a bit of judicious work to bring out some of the more muffled lines. The timing of the playing was a bit loose in places but I'm not sure the track would benefit from getting too tight anyway. And the fade out synth line would have made a good intro sequence just before the onslaught. All fairly minor criticisms for a track that I have already listened to half a dozen times and will happily listen to again.

  • Baumgartner.....haha. Maybe not as momentous although the neighbours WILL not forget it! I've bought the card shop out of "Sorry" cards & am posting when they are out!

    Thanks Joc. The live feel is a lucky accident & Johnny mentioned about a real band feel on a previous song. Thank you. Is it the drums? Ah....got it...still hazy.....cos I'm a loop virgin, maybe that's it. I've GOT to play it all live.....you're right. It helps being a self confessed tech div/shy/allergic numpty sometimes. Forces the "natural" out of you.

    Yes, there's some blurred lyrics in there & I couldn't unblur them. Volume made it worse so it's the source (like you have wisely said before) that needs more attention. The timing is loose (well picked up) but when I listened back I quite liked it so left it that way. Added to the attitude of the piece.

    Onslaught. Great description of the whole process. Cheers. Now onto a love song with an acoustic Guitar (ism) .........hahahahahahahahahaha :)

    @Jocphone Sorry. Not sure what I'm doing here. Button bereavement process.

  • Blimey, I've got a bit of catching up to do. @richardyot - are all the tracks and up to date versions still on the Soundcloud page or do I need to shuffle through the thread?

    I haven't updated the front page or the SoundCloud - let me do it now.

  • All updated now.

  • @MonzoPro A warm welcome back to you sir. Looking forward to experiencing your musical delights once again. To get prepared for this event, in addition to my headphones, I have a worn, torn red leather dentist chair ready (with extra padding & shuttle seat belt) & all drills sizes have been left out to blunt off & rust badly.....on purpose! Mouth open wide.........OUCH! In a good way, of course. ;) What!....No mouth rinse?

    Thinking about death lately (no need to reach for the phone, more of a philosophical line of inquiry). And thus this: In The End Grace. I capitalized Grace in case she's a woman I've yet to meet, but I suspect it may be another matter entirely.

    Yep, liked that one. A 3 piece suite of a tune, clever and inventive. Would've liked the kick in the second part even heavier, maybe using it to duck the rest of the tune to give it a really in-your-face compressed atmosphere. But it's great, and I really liked the first part, reminds me of Waits or MC 900. Great stuff, and the singing's really coming on, eh?!?

    Hi

    My first contrbution to this link.

    Drums : pop kit cubasis
    Bass: gadget madrid
    Synth pad: morning pad cubasis
    Guitars: ampkit
    Piano:korg module ivory expansion.

    I hope you like it!

    Well done mate, and welcome to sotmc. Lovely little tune that, bit brief is my only criticism. If u used some of the guitar as a break and separated the vocal out it would make it a little less dense, give it a little more space and time, and I think that it is certainly a good enough song to warrant that. I also thought the instruments were really well mixed and balanced. Great stuff!

    @jim5 said:

    Yes, I got quite into that. Nice dense feels to it, and I loved the bubbling bassline, kept me hooked. Lots of little variations in there, nicely arranged so that each layer blended well. Great stuff.
    Edit: just watched the video - loved it and very impressed. I have no effing idea what I'm doing with Modstep (and most other stuff, truth be told), but that was v instructional! Brilliant.

  • @Telefunky said:

    first loop by Loopseque (drums, bass, percussion), 2nd loop is from Sparkle iirc a mangled Casio synth
    filled with guitar recordings (mostly Telecaster/JamUp/Fender model) and the horn of a locomotive
    (these engines were called warbonnet for their design and the first loop has a tiny bit of a tribal touch)
    I collect such acoustic sceneries as (short) song sketches with a start/middle/end 'theme' to be extended later

    cheers, Tom

    Curious little number that, but I loved the evolving, bizarre, glitchiness of it. The train sample worked too, and it built enough for me to want another minute or so. I liked how it kept me guessing. Great!

  • @TGiG said:
    Hey guys, I look forward to checking out the entries for this month! For my contribution I decided to cover one of my favorite songs of all time!

    I had a blast recording it and enjoy the gritty, synthy, distorted flare that I injected. It obviously can't touch the original but is a fun listen. I can't wait to hear what you guys say as this is my "vocal" "debut". Thank you :smile:

    Liked it, and the vocals are great! Intro a bit long, and it kind of needed to build more, maybe with even more grit cos it just felt a little smooth toward the end. Must admit I don't know the original, but great stuff.

  • @richardyot said:
    I need to catch up with the latest entries, but in the meantime here is my effort for this month. The verse works better than the chorus.

    Lyrics here.

    Liked that, but actually I preferred the verse to the chorus. I like the vocal, but in the chorus I would have preferred you to keep the melody lower, not climb so much and thereby strain your voice. The tune has a really atmospheric vibe to it, and I got in to that in a big way. I would've tried to just made the vocal a little more restrained and moody. I think that's why I prefer the verse. The backing track is one of my favourites of yours. Slowing the drums right up in the verse might have given it even more impact and variety. It's very good though, no complaints!

  • @fauxen said:
    First submission in one of these threads. This is more a jam than a song, but it's plenty long enough.

    Apps used: Cyclop, Blocs Wave (with a Cyclop loop in there sometimes, "Steppin' Out" by Joe Jackson looped by Yamaha's Kittar and cleaned in Audioshare), Audiobus, Final Touch and Auria Pro.

    You, I bloody loved it when that speak and spell-like vocoder sample came, it really bought the rhythm of the track together. I wasn't quite getting it until then. More bass please, this would really kick off with a more meaty low end. I hear what you say about it being a jam, and so I know that ideally it might be edited a bit in length. It's certainly got something though. Like that Joe Jackson sample in there! It just needs a bit, thick kick in there for me. Great stuff though.
