The e-Collaboration Thread (Prayer, Little Bird, Soulful Old Man Sunshine)

Yeah, but the idea would be to have no-one else on your section but you, so it becomes a mad-libs kinda deal. Lets see if everyone's up for it before we lobby out parts.

Reckon I might take Al in the Little Bird stack, if Letsgo is taking Dennis.

[EgoHanger1966]

One cracking idea I had, and I can't remember whether I mentioned it, is for each of us do a section of Heroes & Villains (let's say, the BWPS/TSS sequence, and we've already got Prayer, so Gee/Verse/Chorus/Cantina/Children and Sunny Down Snuff/Prelude to Fade - there are 6 of us, right?) each, then link them together in a fine homage to 'modular' recording. Anyone game? Points given to how nuts you can make your own section.

Oh god sounds tough haha, i'm up to it if you guys want?

I still think (instead?) we should cover Amusement Parks USA but sprinkle H&V/Worms vocal parts throughout.

If you want Dennis, you can have him!
I can take Al!

[hypehat]

I've already started!

FOTM, what syllable does Al sing in the 'bom-bap' bit? (if that makes any sense at all)

[hypehat]

Here's Al - god some of those bits is high. I got them, I think. Funny how it works, I couldn't get really high bit before the last chorus, so I gave up and recorded the bops which proceeded them.... then nailed the part just casual like on one of those takes. Bastardly vocal chords of mine.

Awesome idea! I'm in!

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

Are there any parts remaining for IWTS?

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

It's not all the way done, but here's most of my Dennis part for Little Bird. Sound okay?

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

Okay, it finally processed!

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Letsgoaway, the Dennis part I mean isn't the lead there's a Dennis harmony in my soundcloud.

But sounds good everyone! Thanks!

[Don't Back Down]

New vocal bits with fixed line/longer fade, as you mentioned making it longer anyway.

(also another harmony at the end I always sing when listening to 'Til I Die, wondering if you can use it)

Feeling the urge to do another track.... the question is, what?

I'd be up for it! I'd love to take the "Gee" section

[hypehat]

OK, so if I make this post here, and we agree on that sequence, you all mention what you want and I'll edit it to reflect it.

Then, go, you crazy cats. One ground rule I think we have to follow is, go as different as you like (and I'd really like you to all go crazy, don't worry about it being exactly as long as the single, if you want to turn the cantina into a country ballad be my guest), but keep it all in the original key. Or at least, finish in the original key.

I have an idea for the verse, so I might pre-emptively claim that. If someone else really wants it, I'll happily take something else, or they can have the second verse.

Heroes & Villains

Gee - Don't Back Down
Verse 1 - Hypehat
Chorus  - FOTM
Verse 2 - Still me?
Cantina - Zach
My Children Were Raised -
Sunny Down Snuff -
Chorus 2 - Still FOTM?
Prelude To Fade -

[Don't Back Down]

Sounds exciting! Looking forward to this

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

I'll do the chorus, what BPM should I aim for?

Anything you like! Remember, hard edits are a BW trademark.

This has the potential to be the greatest disaster in musical history, or a crowning triumph of collaborative musical endeavour. I will accept either.

I didn't delete the vocal? It's a private link, but it's still there when I click on it. Made it public, see if this works https://soundcloud.com/samblack-1/and-smiley-smile-if-you-call

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Sounds good! Already had an idea I tried in a mix that didn't work so i'm doing that!

And oh thanks! adding!

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Okay here's my newest masterpiece, Bicycle Rider 2.0.

This amazing H&V Chorus piece includes many familiar parts, but also features some very new touches...

What (or who...) fell deep inside the mix?
What is that bassline.... or the other bassline?!?

All questions that shall remain unanswered, until now: https://soundcloud.com/#mikeleroymusic/heroes-and-villians-chorus

I've had this playing in my head for a while now, good to finally get it down!

[hypehat]

That was quick!

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Like I said, I was just waiting for the time to strike
