What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

here's a track from a new project i did with two drummer friends, the idea was to make dance music with just percussion sounds that we recorded together:

http://soundcloud.com/artsextract/calabash-boom-hisarna

the mixes came out sounding a little bit more 'polite' than i intended, but it was fun to make and i'm glad we saw the concept through.

i love it!! esp when the bass kicks in

thanks LL, the bass on that track is this gigantic, rickety, bootleg-looking bass kalimba that one of the dudes got at a thrift store.

that's great!

this is fantastic

awesome
lemme know if you ever find yourself thinking you need just *one more person*

ha, if you want to drive to the wastelands of northern wisconsin, i'll let you know the next time we record. that was the most fun part, it had been awhile since i've had to consider how to mic something.

thanks dudes.

i would definitely consider it!

New synths, new choon:

here's the other track from the percussion project: https://calabashboom.bandcamp.com/track/mbira

new tune, i mumble a lot: https://soundcloud.com/weinventyou/backbone-bending

Hey so did I ever post this before? A quick thread scan says no: I did this cover of a Split Enz song some time back, and it seems to have real good feedback from muso friends, so thought I'd post it here.

BTW Zac that last track you posted is awesome!

thank you! it's kind of numan'd out in the middle but if he sues i will gladly give him 50% of my lucrative royalties

NA and I made this instrumental VU cover (Lady Godiva's Operation) yesterday-today and I like it

yeah, i just listened! it sounds great! i love the neu/cluster vibes in the first half especially

the recorder is my favorite part, sounds really cool with the effects.

We should make an ILX:Duets record

thank you!!! sorry about the posting blitz. i was extra excited about it.

I will do this if surm sings

Woah, that "Lady Godiva's" rules! Really spooky and ethereal, but still rockin'.

LL I admit I was v puzzled coz when I click that link I get five minutes of just drums (upload date last year), but now that I've found the actual one, this is v cool!

I've been musically inactive for ages because I've had the template for some kind of electro ballad in my head but with no ability to realise it, so instead I noodled over the top of its droney foundation and now I can abandon it https://soundcloud.com/eeeeeein/lfsj5

huge whoops there! i went back to the old one to see how it sounded and must've accidentally posted the wrong link. glad you found the right one!

and thanks everybody!! i'm kinda glad i don't know all the rules about when i should be embarrassed about what i've made/shared because it means i can feel genuinely good when i get any feedback. anything is good because 'audience of one' songs are my specialty at the moment.

i struggled with the mix on this one. i mixed most of it while on headphones, and then yelped in agony when i listened to it on speakers. depending on whether you listen to it on headphones, laptop speakers, apple earbuds, or regular speakers, the vocals are either way too loud or buried, and the organ drone is appropriately loud or inaudible. i give up.

i'm excited about a new song again!!
this is me and tarfumes the escape goat playing some instrumental rock music!! http://bit.ly/1umSJH6
not gonna lie, i love it and tbrr i have very refined and discriminating taste so obvs it's super good

pretty rad

^

Thx :)

sounds great!

here's something recent from my band -- just a rough iphone recording... hoping to do something real in the new year!
http://forcesatwork.tumblr.com/post/104877801783

high quality jam! you're fortunate to have jovial people near you to jam with. sounds like a good time!!

i made the beat for this rap song.

i wish i had gotten to have a hand in the vocal mix...on the one hand it was nice not to have to worry about it, and the engineer did a great job punching up my 808s, but i feel like it's overly busy. i would have taken the chopped vocal samples out of my beat and argued for less backing vox during the verses, but whatevs.

that link is broken :(

oops, thx :)

i like it! whoever said it was like taking a bath was otm

i think they were saying the beat reminded them of baths, although it's nice like taking a bath too! :)

great job jordan

oh lol
still otm

thanks guys!

recent updates are all really good and now i know who tarfumes is on soundcloud :)

i made a synthesizer album with this app called kosmiche synthesizer, which is a really cool android app...for your bloopin and bleepin pleasure, name your price ($0.0) on bandcamp

My band just released a free experimental mini album https://discozhivago.bandcamp.com/album/disco-zhivago-great-artery

Opening track sounded like something from The Goon Show. I half expected Peter Sellers to say something like "Ach! No more high fibre diet!".

haha, it's entirely improvised - just one take and one mic with no script. there are some pretty absurd moments on there

Put it on youtube now too Disco Zhivago Great Artery (Full Album): http://youtu.be/CCQerl-kPuU
best heard on your way home after a couple of drinks I reckon

I made a new song and people said nice things about it
https://soundcloud.com/alanmaguire/civil-twilight

I finished this song last week but haven't officially released it yet.

For anyone curious I used a Bass Station II, u-he Diva, TAL U-NO-LX, and Matrix 6 for synths (these and guitar through a Strymon El Capistan), and an MXL V67G for vocals.

Little jam we cooked up on last Saturday.

made this little dancey song with a bobbie gentry sample, a drum machine and some keyboards. i don't usually do dancey stuff like this so i really have no idea what i'm doing.
