There seems to be a few musicians here..... vol. 2

[Arete]

I remember the thread on the old mod forums, so I thought we could do with a new one

So if you're making music, be it in a band or solo, covers or original works, put some of them here. It's always fun to hear what people is up to

I can start off with some of my latest:
Arete - Tushta - soft electronica piece akin to Arovane/Aphex Twin/Boards of Canada.
Arete feat. Compute - Patchwork (beta mix) - This is more of a lo-fi pop/electro song, with vocals by me and Compute, a very cool electro girl
Arete - To the Sky - Soft electropop song with an ambient touch, vocals by me.
Arete - Keep it to Myself - A bit weirder song, heavily processed drums. Probably my best vocal performance to date. Closest musical reference would be Coil.

So don't be shy, post some of your stuff too :-D

 

[Rossa]

Your stuff is good as always, and I especially liked the song Patchwork!

Maybe I'll post some of my songs tomorrow

 

[Arete]

Thanks Rossa :-D

Will check tomorrow, I want some more of your piano stuff, it's great

OCh Rossa, kanske jag kan locka dig att titta in p

 

[Bret]

I play the guitar too, ill post some mp3's later.

 

[Rossa]

@Arete - Cool sida, registrerar mig direkt

Love and longing - from the korean comedy My Sassy Girl (see it if you get the chance)
My Funny Valentine - oldie
Matters of the Heart - Something I wrote a while back

Please bear in mind that I'm still teh n00b when it comes to playing the piano, and I'm only fooling around when I need a break from real life studies

 

[Arete]

And that's an example of swedish modesty people Rossa kicks ass on the piano! My funny valentine was a really nice piece

some mediocre ebm-stuff me and a friend does when we are drunk and stupid.

 

[Arete]

Haha! EBM, we've all been there at some time or another
Didn't sound that bad, a bit unpolished and a wee bit too slow for my taste, but not bad at all. Reminds me of Run Level Zero.

Might aswell throw up one of my old EBM sins too then ;-)
Arete - Technicality

[Hellecaster]

My first homemade music

My first homemade music

Here is a pice of homemade music made on my new porta.
It's still a "trash" version where almost everything is un-tight played but it's for learning to handle the studio and recordings tech with I know zero about but learning more each day.

I sang the low harmony, played the bass, two rythm guitars, leadguitar and even played the banjo in one mix but I don't think you can here the banjo on this mix.

I have gotten me a new mic so I can record the acustic guitar more properly. On this recording I used a mic for vocals and where not able to avoid the soundhole of the guitar as much as I wanted.

But next version will be better, I hope.

I called the project Ole and the woodpickers because the singers name is Ole and Woodpickers may sound corny but I think it reveals partly how it sounds.

The lyrics by the way is written by a guy from Kentucky but lives in Sweden nowdays. This recording is for him.

West Kentucky road

 

[Arete]

Damn Hellecaster, that's very nice from a recording standpoint Some deesser on the vocals and it's good to go :-D Very very nice performance. not quite my style of music but it's a very impressive craftmanship. What brand of porta did you use, and what mic's?

 

[Xancerman]

i have to agree, very nice and clean.. a little deesser could be well in hand.. good panorama on the instruments, and good if not awesome separation between the instruments.

 

[Hellecaster]

Thanks a lot guys!
I'm gonna use a de-esser next time for shure!

What brand of porta did you use, and what mic's?

The porta is a "Roland VS-2480-CD" but on this first project I haven't learned to use all the functions for mastering and writing to disc yet so I just took the signal from the headphones output and put it into a "Boss 1180" porta to write on disc from there.

The microphone I used for the vocals and acustic guitar is a cheap "MT87" (condenser), but I had some severe problems to point it away from the soundhole on the acustic guitar because it's picking up sound in "omni" mode.

more stuff from Kejsarsnitt

after this song we started a new band with music much inspired by the intro of the song above.. i think we are going to call ourselves "Choirs of Judgement"

 

[WickedPenguin]

Here's some tracks from my on-again, off-again rock band - it's called Musidora. The name comes from a silent movie actress who played the first female film vampire.

We've all got really busy careers in many different backgrounds, so we don't get to play much anymore. The guitarist is a fine artist and graphic designer, the singer is a theatre producer and actress, the drummer played timpani and mallet percussion for the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, and I (bassist) work full-time in web and multimedia design, so music is not exactly our day job.

Studio recordings:

• Rain
• Everything She Said

Live recordings:

• Stand Strong
• Push the Moon
• Contrition

A few pics of us playing out:

At the Wallflower Gallery in downtown Miami:

At Miami's Metro Zoo as part of a Halloween festival. Hehe, playing hard songs about the singer's mother trying to drown her to a bunch of kids. Yay!

---------------------------------

Hellecaster: Man, that is a great recording! As with Arete, it's not the kind of music I typically listen to, but the production and musicianship is first-rate.

Arete: I really like Patchwork. It's the kind of music I listen to while working, in the vein of something like Yoko Kanno's mellower pieces for the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack.

 

[Xancerman]

Not bad at all WP. good sound on the studio recording - im studying to studio engineer, so i know how much work its behind it ;D
