What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

Trayce, thats v pretty.

Dog Latin, I notice I can sing Spirit of Radio along with your song.

heh, i don't know that song - i'll give it a listen at lunch.

You're in for a real treat.

that's really nice Trayce, what did you use to make it?

I was playing around earlier and decided to record the loop I'd done, then I took half an hour looking for the right cables (and failed, dodgy recording instead) while it looped over and over, driving me mental. Now you can be driven mental too (with some noodling in the second half): https://soundcloud.com/eeeeeein/skzu

Thanks guys! I used FLStudio for the synths - mostly with the Sytrus plugin - but theres also bass that I (rather clumsily) played myself, plus my vocals.

...oh, YOU are eeeeein! I did wonder which ILXor that was heh :D

(I've probably said this before, I'm senile)

maybe! it is quite difficult. my apologies to all the people on twitter i followed because they're ilxors but whose ilx identity i've since forgotten.

more art shit

Thats ace, love the slow shifts.

The Weeklybeats site (anyone else having a go?) has really helped kick me into gear.

Behold my admittedly rather blatant Eno/Budd rip.

new remix, pretty happy with how this one turned out:

Here's what happens when you've got a practice room and a bit of time to kill. A three minute pop song with a twenty-minute improvisation in the middle of it https://soundcloud.com/discozhivago/pistols-in-the-sun-special

Seriously, this is how we write 90% of our songs though...

sloppy and aimless noodling over a drone but i quite like it for some reason.

Sat up very very late on Friday night working on this, at great expense (oh lord the hangover). Friend added some drums cos mine sucked. It came out pretty damn good. Cocteausy.

i stumbled across a folder of recordings i made between 2003 and 2008, occasionally interesting often boring, quite curious as to what 20-year-old me was trying to do on this inscrutable rhythm experiment https://soundcloud.com/eeeeeein/when-yr-256-11-06-2005

*not one of my long droney things, i promisx

Meant to say so earlier but I really love that one Sash!

I've been channeling some sort of moosh of Siouxsie and Savages with this thing that I did. I like the drums I programmed. Its been fun singing in my natural loweer register again too.

(see Jim I fixed the fuxed URL even!)

haw

I like it!

yeah! sounds good. I like the creepy synth chords.

Thanks! :) Yah I had that sort of slightly goth 80s new wave thing in mind, I suppose. Sytrus has some really nice synth pads built in (which is what I use for most of my synth work at the moment - nice FLStudio plugin).

Love your voice Trayce

Was just listeining to this anyway as it happens - its good stuff.

This is a mash of some old electronic tracks I made back around 2001-2003. I always seemed to get caught in a box on my tracks and couldn't get them to change, so I would end up with all of these fragments.

best bit of 'walkabout' cover is that i always thought the original could've gone another minute longer. now our versh does!

got a Blue Nessie mic and been doing some recording when the mood strikes me.

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/4a8k4qv94ax0xoz/Ehh_-_Nothingman.mp3 <------- two take version of Pearl Jam's "Nothingman", recorded on a day when I was feeling particularly emo

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/6vac7m124m193p9/Ehh_-_End_Of.mp3 <------ acapella first verse and chorus of Boyz II Men's "End of the Road". never finished because it took so long just to get this much done, but perhaps some day.

First release in quite a while

https://iceageproductions.bandcamp.com/album/bereitschaftspotential

first playing session in a couple of months, ages spent fiddling around heading nowhere but i think i ended up somewhere 'nice' if maybe unexciting. (also some volume problems messed up the recording a bit, bah.)

https://soundcloud.com/eeeeeein/gtr7

Cool stuff! Kind of reminds me of some of Keiji Hanio's dreamier outings.

ah, thanks, a very flattering comparison!

I recorded a Varnaline cover: https://soundcloud.com/scarequotes-1/the-hammer-goes-down. Rough and dirty.

^^^ i like it!! i listened to it twice.

i decided to post a song i threw together yesterday on fb (mostly so my far-flung friends who are too busy to ask what i'm up to can see/hear that i am doing something without me forcing myself on them)
i'm guessing that most of my friends would either outright hate it or find it repulsive in one way or another, but i wonder how many made it to the end? it was fun to play. the drums parts/cymbals are me; the rest is three themes from the "days of our lives" soundtrack. it sounds like sleazy incidental music for a 70s movie. i like it! i don't expect very many other people to like it though. it's an admittedly rocky start but gets better as it goes. at least i think so. i'm learning! i can't learn without throwing myself out there like this so please ignore me if you hate amateurish things.

I listened to the whole thing & thought it was great! I like cheesy library music though.

me too -- i was trolling through the albums on iTunes and stumbled on days of our lives and thought why not?! i feel really at home with cheesy library music for some reason.

also thanks! i think i'm a little overly proud of this because i had never played those three songs together before, so i somehow managed to make that happen after i had pressed record without trying very hard, which kind of made me feel O_O even though it's probably not a big deal to most ppl who play instruments.

Really digging this, LL. Your drumming adds a lot of mystery and tension.

Thanks! There's one spot that is my favorite part because it's the part in other songs when I would always feel like "aw yeah" when I was walking down the sidewalk. What a pleasure to make my own! Thank you for listening and for feedback!

i've ruined another song by adding an unsolicited drum part -- this time it's a 14th c dance tune! I think it sounds kinda cool though. Ruining songs is my new musical hobby until I have some new songs to play.

ha, that sounds quite cool. your contributions don't sound out of place.

i don't know when to shut the hell up but amidst the sloppiness i think there are some quite nice bits in the first six minutes or so of this: https://soundcloud.com/eeeeeein/lofivol

thanks! i think i understand why people go away into the woods to record things in cabins now -- isolation helps nurture crazy ideas?
