What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

you're not like them ,but you can pretend

Got to it. Turns out I AM dum.

Someone posted a song from a concert my group did in 2015 today on Youtube:

V cool.

Just saw this today: https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/04/ibrary-of-congress-open-source-hip-hop-dj-citizen/

Gonna try it out tonight.

got another noodley kraut-y stoney quarantine jam for ya

https://pimm.bandcamp.com/track/gh4k

Downloaded the free trial of Izotope Ozone 9 and I'm really liking it, esp the vintage compressor. Remixed/remastered the recording I posted a week ago and think it sounds a lot better; also mastered two other pieces for the planned album.

The band got our first quarantine song/video done, apparently we're going to keep doing them:

Very happy with how it turned out, although it's not fun at all to record drums in a small room, by myself, with a headphone cord that's way too short.

And then we did another one in a day, because someone wanted to make a Mother's Day thing, this time with a muppet:

Those are great! Did you guys all record to a backing track or click or something? How did it work?

I started off recording bass drum to a click (just keeping the form in my head), then snare recorded to me, and then the horns one at a time. So one person was creating mixes as we added parts, and sending it to the next person. Maybe not the most efficient method, but it's working for us.

Of course most civilians think we're recording over Zoom or something, but I just don't see how that would be possible in terms of hearing each other, latency, etc.

Also that way we can put little things in for the next person to play off of, to make it feel more live.

That’s so cool! I’m impressed your band has been together so long. That’s really something.

I made a new recording by myself w a field recording of humming insects that I recorded last summer when I was super sick. It’s melodica, maraca, recorder, drum set, and bugs. https://m.soundcloud.com/marshmallowy/may-2020

Nice bugs! Thanks.

I will say, the secret to the band's longevity is that it's not a democracy.

That was awesome, LL. Props!

thank you! it's not professional or perfect but i feel like it does what i want it to do. it feels like sounds i made, and that's satisfying :)

From over a month ago, "Planet Caravan". Didn't record enough guitar riff so i had to end a few lines early

Hellz yeah! The split screen is a nice touch and kind of mirrors the album cover in my head.

who wants some -iso-australiana-junglism

coupled with WDYLL and feat former ILXor MCDKeith

I’m pretty happy with how this turned out

https://mixcord.co/acapella/p/8e0yfw0URMnKJM8h7U6AyQ/

that is GREAT

says you arranged it? if so, I really like the arrangement, the chord choices, the part writing. great intonation too throughout.

how is that ACapella program? i've been looking for something like that.

Thanks! I had the option of singing to a recording of the accompaniment from the Burleigh arrangement but my Mac wouldn’t render the two audio tracks together when I tried to put them together in iMovie, so this route ended up being easier. The Acapella app is pricy but worth it, especially since I did this for my church gig and can write it off. My director suggested I start a YouTube channel called I Am My Own Barbershop for maximum Covid-19 SEO, which I think is hilarious

that's a cool idea! would watch. post it here if you wind up doing that!

lol sometimes going a capella is the easier route when technology fails.

i'm gonna check this app out as I used to do these types of recordings and keep finding programs that can't sync properly :/.

You can do 30 sec videos in the free version to try it out

I did these about six years ago, when I still had a dope USB mic. I'm not much of a producer and levels confound me at times, but here they go:

Neanderthal - In the Still of the Nite (a capella)

Neanderthal - End of the Road (a capella)

Nice job! Those harmonies on End of the Road are TIGHT

thanks! i always wanted to do this arrangement with a live quintet. i need to find where I put the sheet music.

these are really nice! i can't sing at all so quadruply impressed!

dan and neand bringing the vocal heatttttttt

Good stuff

A CD I sang on my freshman year of college is going to be broadcast on Sunday at 11: https://memorialchurch.harvard.edu/event/whrb-broadcast-special-music-service

i recorded a cover of the sun ra song "springtime again" and ilxor la lechera played drums on it: https://cutternumbers.bandcamp.com/track/springtime-again-sun-ra

i did! and it felt like the jam i had been waiting for. very fun & genuinely relaxing to play that song

some recent beat collections... https://open.spotify.com/artist/4EQsGHYHOhFIyzpl3vJsh4

been working on this album for a couple years with sometimes ilxor cbesinger finally out today, I did all the music myself he did all lyrics/vox. all proceeds going to the West Broadway Coalition in North Minneapolis

dickin' around on Soundgarden's "Mailman"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNEVbNYXPGo

didn't wanna share this one cos the mix is fucked up and i couldnt find an app that would do what i wanted. just...don't play on high volume, if you play at all (also Soundgarden, "Beyond the Wheel").

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydamjax7zIQ

Nice scream in "Mailman".

Thanks!

Super rough and informal video of Villa-Lobos's Prelude 1 from the apartment tonight:

Happy Juneteenth

Sund4r, that was awesome!

great work DJP, as always.

been putting the more recent austinato stuff on my youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/austintayeshus1

most recent thing was this quickie ep deal which is most likely going to be that last new recordings for the foreseeable future as all my gear is now in storage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4Z9xD0Jjns

it's also all on my bandcamp(s) for free if you want to download* along with a shitton of older stuff i haven't put on youtube yet. links in the video descriptions.

*but why you would want to potentially do that is a complete mystery to me. thanks everyone for sharing your musics. i'm sorry i don't have specific thoughts, but i feel like everyone who posts music in here should be a lot more known by a lot more people (except me of course; my music is the opposite of remarkable and unique and made by a talented person).

Thanks, Neanderthal.
