What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

What budo said. I am listening my way through close to 500 of these recordings now. Yours was a highlight.

Re: what I was blathering on about above, I've already gravitated more towards using the middle finger as a primary fulcrum rather than the back fingers, there's more bounce and it's easier to go back and forth with the ride cymbal if I'm playing jazz. But either way has helped my wrist motion a lot, and gives a lot more control & power than relying on thumb & first finger and letting all the other fingers move with the stick. It's hard to explain but I'm still letting the stick move in the hand & rebound, and I'm working on more freely moving between the different fulcra for different situations.

i made this short instrumental alt tuning guitar piece i'm happy with. i tend to not have the patience to see a chord progression through but this one came together nicely. i feel like it could use a soft bed of noise underneath or something. suggestions welcome: https://on.soundcloud.com/Va2jV5iQ2rvZBDdn8

vault stuff. multi-part vaporpop suite. shoutout to js.

i love that!

@heez - way late but that's a lovely song would love to hear more

back on a very tenuous basis, the spectral REprojections compilation is bandcamp-only. overlapping with the philomath material quite often, we nicknamed it "beyond benton." if philomath represents the bustling center of the galaxy from which this music originated, the REprojections are the farthest edges of where you might end up; related by coincidence more than anything.

something tangible+based in reality about all this music is that it was recorded in late 19-summer 20, so right in the initial wave of covid/lockdown. not meant to be sad or depressing, just a statement of fact: it's what was coming out of my brain as the last semblance of any sanity slipped away. sure does sound nice sometimes, considering.

―BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL―

we're so excited to see you again, friend! you must have grown about three feet over summer break! great job, have a lasso! remember to ask if you need help with anything and don't forget to use your shelf marker! have fun!😃

hi. here's a previously shelved project:

idk, ya'll. mental health clinic that was supposed to get me housed is bawking left and right. "mid january" is the word now. i keep getting parking tickets for sleeping in my car. no one will advise me on safer places. my gofundme is still open and even a handful of $5 or $10 donations would help greatly. i was supposed to be housed back in october. my friend is trying to help navigate the hold-up and advocate in the meantime.

anyway, if you can or if you know anyone, please and thank you-

really loving this, no surprise! i wish i had more than $10 to donate, but that's what i can spare right now. stay safe <3

I’m singing Messiah again today:

first time ive recorded a song in like literal years, click here if you like full blown orchestras, 7/8 time signature, and little ditties about socioeconomic class

i don't really follow electronic music anymore so i'm gonna call this track IDM or whatever. it's not something i usually fuck with, but i was on some youtube deep dive into go-go music and found this quote from an interview that i just had to sample

https://soundcloud.com/heez-1/empty-space

es bien vibey, heez

arkoun, bong

That’s “thank you, uncle” in Khmer

i like that

That's good!
Also m.bis I dug that too kinda New Puritans vibes to me

my wife really hates this song. i kinda dig it. it's def not her thing but i guess i am wondering if it's anyone's thing since it's half finished and would require more thinking. what do you say? flesh it out or stop being a weirdo?

https://soundcloud.com/heez-1/the-data

i like it, has a beck kind of vibe. need a big distorted guitar chorus with a catchy melodic hook and you should be set

this song should be 10 minutes long and have lots of lil sections that ebb and flow, you cant half-commit

Yup I hear you both will get to fleshing. Bass line next

The livestream for our Messiah recital crapped out this year but our soprano recorded it and put it on YouTube:

This is my band's new album! We probably did seven sessions overall, including mixing? There are some guests performing on it.

Thanks!

OK wow. That is so generous and sonorous. I love it. Thanks. <3

awesome <3

1aw great job neanderthal u killed it

Great job!

Let me keep the musical theater train rolling and share my rendition of Sondheim’s “Anyone Can Whistle” from last weekend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_8pYG_azxI

That was beautiful! Not everyone sounds good on Sondheim because of how interval-y he can be but your voice is perfectly suited to it, especially on the legato parts. Great dynamics and crescendos too!

damn some folks got some real pipes around here, kudos

Nice work all!

I posted this on another thread but it's probably better off here.

Someone I know put out a remix competition and my contribution got onto her latest EP.

It's he first time I've ever had anything released that wasn't some sort of low key self-release, so I'm chuffed

https://neonpumps.bandcamp.com/track/work-from-home-charlie-stoic-remix

Absolutely loving both Neanderthal and DP's voices! Incredible

A local (to my old hood) label released the finalized version of a song I posted a draft of here awhile back

https://growroom.bandcamp.com/track/goodnight

My first ever release!

Hey this is really nice - it's unusual in a good way. It tricked me into thinking it was going to be some sort of lo-fi dub a la Sun Araw and then changed into a sort of avant-country song. Fantastic work Heez

Thanks!

My band played on a local YouTube show:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW9jPnH8cq4

Very happy that this album is in the world now, it was both quite a long process (since it grew out of a different album that isn't out yet, and also took awhile to release) and something that came together faster and more easily than any other project I've done, mostly because it was made from finished tracks and stems that I had already spent a ton of time mixing. Make an album out of your album, I recommend it!

The label is great too, they take a lot of care and have quite a catalog.

I listened to several tracks. It sounds great. And it appears to be selling rather well too, so congratulations! I see that Dane Law is UK-based (Co. Durham, but one of the track titles refers to Leyton, which is in London), so that's interesting too.

Thank you! Yes, I think he's in Leyton, but we've never met in person.

Leyton - home of soccer team leighton orient - has always had a fourth world skew:

The choice of the name Orient came about at the behest of a player, Jack R Dearing, who was an employee of the Orient Steam Navigation Company, later part of P&O.[1] It was suggested that the name would bring an air of mystique to the club, while also referencing their location in the 'east' end of London.

Haha, how about that. I enjoy imagining all the places referenced in our track titles that I've never seen, they definitely have a mystique to me that would probably seem funny to UK people.

Leyton has no mystique for me. (I know it somewhat, though I always have trouble figuring out exactly where it is in relation to Leytonstone, which I know much better.)

Lake Balaton, on the other hand...

Oh, sorry, I misread the track title. It's 'Balafon' (a musical instrument), not 'Balaton'.

On our next album there are references to Cheltenham and Cheshunt, very mysterious places I'm sure

Just been listening to the Dane Law and Jordan album - vibey as hell! Really like it.

Thank you!!
