Whodunnit?

Besides the excellent and enthusiastic work of the contributors and the half-assed me, who got the ball rolling with this thread, we must give our wholehearted thanks to nicfit, who put tireless effort into upping the blogspot site, coding, and also sequencing the tracks for your enjoyment.

he hasn't posted since the 27th of january, have you tried getting in contact with him?

I used to have his MSN address but I deleted him off my list after he didn't log on for like 4 months or something. Perhaps he just got bored with it.

maybe. There's enough musicians on here to get this going again though!

Indeed. I already have a cover to contribute.

the guy had the wrong idea for the project, he turned down every noise thing people submitted and wanted to mix the music the way he wanted, bad idea.

someone should step up and curate this, i don't know if i can. anyone? anyone?

i'm in and hope the people i was going to work with are still on with me.

Yeah, thats true. He wanted to put a pop-acoustic take on most of the stuff, I think. That's why I did 'Scooter and Jinx'.

As long as we keep an open mind on this thing and we're willing to try different sounds for certain songs this can be a success. I don't want people to start submitting super-accurate recreations of songs though..

yeeeeeeeeah, make this thing live.
I dunno If I'll be able to contribute any decent recording, but I support the idea. Do it, do it, do it.

what i proposed to that guy was to have it as a two cd kinda deal, with one focused on 'rock' versions and the other one being 'noise' (or more abstract takes) so he could manage the rock one and someone else would manage the noise one. in my opinion, it would be better if they were mixed, but for the sake of sequence, maybe the two cd would be better? what do you think.

of course, people should be encouraged to be creative.

The CD splitting thing should really come down to how many people actually contribute. If it's around 20, we'll have 10 songs per CD or whatever. But if it's only 10 contributors, we might as well keep it to 1 CD.

Sequencing one single CD would pretty fun, too.

my name is down

Oh yes, of course, our duet.

Yes, that would be...fun, might you say...

ohh, i propose:

multiple submitions by one person, no.
submmitions of one person in combination with others: yes

(subject to change depending on how many people participate, of course)

I agree.

i want to do cover art and shit like that :)

I was about to bring that up. We should have people contribute art. Should the art have a general theme of 'the internet', or what?

i say : first get the music, then we'll (we="artists" :) :( ) will just be inspired by the songs' sounds. maybe.

Yes.

So Jade and I are hopefully going to do a cover of 'I Love Her All The Time'.

Very agreed, like with the SY collab thread.
