Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
I can certainly hear the influence from The Church. They were one of my favorite bands back in the glorious 80's. I think their sound sort of *was* the sound of the decade. I am looking forward to listening to more of your stuff.

3000,
Just listened to the first 3 songs.. 'Judas', 'Speed', and 'Warning'... some great guitar work and cool arrangements, interesting changes throughout. Good job...I'll listen to more later. -Roy |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
OK ... I haven't posted anything here before although I have projects that are nearly done that I will share, but this was a little gem that I re-discovered recently that made me smile. My old band mates came up to visit me last September (we haven't been a 'band' for almost 10 years now), and we played for a day -- like 20 hours straight. I rolled 'tape' for much of it, and we actually wrote a couple of songs while we drank copious amounts of German and Dutch beer.
This one is called "Labyrinth." The drummer showed up to our little reunion with a drum line and we threw together the rest of what is here. It is an instrumental, but you wouldn't want to hear us sing -- trust me. We worked on it for about a half hour and then played it through. I did go over it afterward to lay down a few more guitar tracks for thickness and to spruce it up generally, but the majority of what you hear is the three of us live. That being said, I realize that the playing isn't very tight, and my solo gets bent all over the place (thank you Grolsh beer). The drums were recorded to a stereo track, so mixdown was interesting because the kick is buried in there, the cymbals are all over the place, and there is very little control of the mix in general. This wasn't ever intended for release, but I thought it would be interesting to share with the DUC. I know this isn't perfect, but it is cool to me because it is creativity in action. It is just a trio of old friends who wrote some music over laughs and beer, and here is the first pass at one of those tunes. Next up is a completely improvised and unrehearsed tune called "Thumbs Up." Labyrinth |

Hey Straat.
Nice stuff, I love hearing live jams. Don't care what it sounds like. The energy you get from playing live seems to overcome any lack in sound quality in my opinion. Gotta love those electronic drums |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hi, guys,
Well, I spent almost the entire weekend rebuilding my site. Turns out I hate web design. So this should be working now, can someone give it a listen and tell me that it works? http://www.byolaf.com/Music/MusicHouse.htm Can you also tell me if the spot sucks? I uploaded a sample of a couple of levels (tracks) for you to listen to. I will have a short spot for low-bandwidth users, and I'll put some more complicated stuff out for you to listen to as time goes on. Thanks for your patience and your ears. I'll listen to some of your stuff as soon as I can. -Olaf |

I am a guitar player and I always like to try something new. My biggest problem is finding a good vocal for my songs. For 9 years, I was in VA for university education on interior designing, TX for pschycology minoring, and CA for recording technology classes. Still a lot to learn and to do. I also like to listen to what you guys record, and just love listening those voices. I will be back... |

Here's another track off the album i did.
The Benny Hymn Crusade The master is really bright, i'll be the first one to admit that.. The band is neoprene. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey Straat...
That's very cool... ..from what you had said, I was expecting '99 Barrels of Beer' or something( ), but I really enjoyed the piece. Those may be the best sounding V-Drums I've heard, and the drummer does em justice. Nice guitar work too...Cool piece. -Roy |

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey, ya'll, I've been listening to some of the last two pages, some great stuff here. I don't know if most of you have been around since page 1 (well, before in the thread that got del'd) but it seems to me that music has just been getting better and better around here. Very good work, all.
I'd give specific comments, but I don't have time, I'm working on bringing my own music up to par!! 3000, I can't play 'wheels' I curious to hear it. -Olaf |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Rabidium/Olaf,
I listened to 'Music House', and though it's a bizarre piece, I enjoyed it. It's good to hear something really different sometimes. You seem to prefer experimental recording/creating to more conventional methods, and that's cool with me. Post more when you can. -Roy |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
DR Loop,
Finally got to listen to 'Why Should I'...it's a good song, and I really like the changes in it. The song itself grows on you in just one pass. I hear some slight 'boom' here and there, but good job overall, IMO. Post more when you get a chance. -Roy Brad Ferguson and Ev, I can't get those links to work. Just repost when they're back up. thanks, Roy |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Richard, thanks for listening to it. I'm glad you liked that, it's one of the more sedated pieces on the album, but I think it's a good intro. I'll be posting more very soon. This is a cool project in that it's easy to get the gist of it from a listener's standpoint. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I really like it, and so I thought I'd put it out there.
As far as experimenting, I like to learn by doing. There's an awful lot to learn about music, especially since I didn't listen to music growing up. I only started thinking about making music when I was about 20 (I'm 26), so I've a lot of catching up to do. I am working on an almost traditional rock album, but different issues crop up which I have to learn to deal with. For example, my sense of rythm was always what is typically referred to as "[bleep]", so this project is a way of working on some of the timing issues. Many of the songs correspond to song structures from the rock album, I'm just getting a grip on how to build things together and create songs organically. But I also don't think that every disc you get should sound like all the other discs in your collection, so this is a way of challenging typically held notions. And now that I'm here, I can always pull back the wierdness and make this more mainstream. But yeah, I think music's a little stale right now, and I want to help it (and me) grow, one way of growing is to do things no one expects, especially yourself! I never expected to be releasing a retro techno album, but if something's good, I'm going to put it out there. I'll put up some shorter samples as soon as I figure out how to summarize a 70-minute album in 30 seconds. Meanwhile, thanks for listening, I hope more people do, because eventually I'll find the target audience, and they will really love this. -Olaf |

Olaf, I have to ask you....who's Richard? |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
<backpedaling> Sorry, man, It's just that you rock so hard, and you're so talented, I felt a three letter name wasn't enough to contain you!!!</backpedaling>
Naw, actually it's just that there's a Richard Howell on the other board I read, so I swapped you two. Sorry! You're by far the better RH, he's kinda a dik, and you're so helpful and talented and attractive and nice and well built and handsome and affable and myopic and musical and mysterious and vivacious and.... Am I out now? 8o) -Olaf |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
I was just wondering, that's all... ...I figured Richard was somebody in your psyche somewhere. Usually, my mistaken name is 'Ray', and I just let em keep on calling me that for the fun of it. But with 'Richard', I had to ask.
On what you actually said, just keep on creating your interesting stuff. I admire that you dare to be unique. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Ray, you are vivacious?

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Wow..those look really good. Albertsons carry them?

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Oh, they're worldwide, Ben.......worldwiiide.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
And they are really good too... especially the hot wings flavor.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
3000,
The 'Hot Lap' link isn't working... |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Roy...thank you for talking the time to listen. I am glad you like it. I hear the slight boom from time to time also. I believe the acoustic guitar is the problem. I think maybe a little EQ will do the trick. We will be posting more songs in the future.
I enjoy your guitar playing Roy. Big fan of Z_Mudslide Blues. I hope you don't mind me jamming over the top to pratice my chops Bob |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey Roy,
I just recorded an open mic in Minnesota last weekend and here is a really neat piece featuring a flute duo, one of them being a Native American flute. http://s94545301.onlinehome.us/music/RJ0405_19.mp3 Take Care, Gene |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Damn, Gene, that's some damn fine Flouting! Are you one of the flutterers? or that drum?
Anyway, great track, thanks for posting it, it's good to hear something so accomplished and different now and again! -Olaf |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey Olaf,
No, I was just there to record the event. The whole night was full of really accomplished musicians. I have never heard a Native American flute played before, it is quite a nice instrument....of course in the hands of a skilled musician...in my hands I could probably kill an elephant at 100 paces after the first toot ! Thank you again for listening ! Take Care, Gene |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey all...
I'm new to the recording world... been a musician for some time but just bought an MBox to play with recording... Here is my 1st attempt... I used leafdrums to create the basic drum pattern; recorded the bass from my Kurzweil PC1x and the piano as well; and my solo voice as a start. I think, if i remember, I compressed the drums a bit, added some EQ to my voice but other than that it is the live, raw tracks. http://www.confuoco.net/music/allinall.mp3 Thanks for your constructive criticism BTW this is not an original song, is a song that we sing on a regular basis at my church You are my all in all by Dennis Jernigan Aaron |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey Aaron. I managed to Dload and play your song. From these little computer speakers at work, it sounds pretty good. of course, I have no bass at work, and i am A/B-ing it with a Cure CD from the early 90's, but it sounds pretty good. Did you play your music live? or is it sequenced?
Also, just out of curiousity, do you have any original music youve recorded? It would be interesting to hear. Good Job, Keep it up. =-Ben |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
You have a very nice voice. I enjoyed listening to this. I agree with Ben, I would like to hear some originals of yours. Regarding the recording, the drums are almost inaudible. If that was your intention then no problem. I didn't know if they translated as you intended. Hope this helps.
--joe |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Thanks guys...
Ben, the music was recorded live... with the exception of the drums which were thru a drum machine software... Joe, I did bring the drums down a bit just for a bit of support... I had thought about bringing them up a bit, however... Thanks for the constructive criticism guys... And once I get some originals online, I will definitely post them here Aaron |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Well you guys...I'm off to do some canoeing on the Little Red River in Arkansas for the weekend. Griffin and I will canoe, and my friend who lives there will kayak with us. I'll catch up with you guys in a few days...

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!

Latest stuff!
OK, here is the link that works and goes to my files!
Also I have new power metal song: Lost Spirits and the previous Hot Lap On The Wires Enjoy! |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Have Fun Roy. Kayaking is one of my favorite things to do. Of course, I do it oceanfront, which is a bit different than lakes. But, just as fun.
