The SY Gossip Music Game- musicians look here

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 04.29.2006, 07:25 PM

Here is how it works, here is an MP3 that is 3 minutes and 42 seconds long. The first person to claim it can add one track on top of it- guitar, vocals, keyboards, bass, drums, recorded sounds, whatever. But only one instrument. Then they repost the same thing with their layer and someone else can repeat the process. Once 4 people have added something to the original sound file, the last person to modify it makes a new MP3 for everyone to play with. The only rules are that you have to claim a track so that nobody else starts working on it, and you can only make volume changes to the previous work.

You can take each track in any musical direction you want, you don't have to follow the flow that the people before you took it, and listen to the finished "compositions" 1st, and try to make the composition you are working on not be like it.

The first track is a digital noise loop I made. I discovered that if you open up a zip file full of MP3s in audacity, it give you some really cool noises. the loop gives you a very very odd beat to work with, but that is what will make this fun!

finding nobody · 05.02.2006, 07:17 PM

I too fail to have the right electrical knowledge to partake. I tried a very similar thing a couple of years ago. Sent out a load of CD's to a load of musicians, the idea being that they add something and send it on. However, not a single person got around to sending it back to people, which was exceptionally annoying. Still, best of luck.

finding nobody · 05.03.2006, 03:45 PM

i'll have mine up in just a bit

this is a just a demo sort of thing. i didnt want to mix it right now, because i wanted someone's opinion. the guitar playing i put down is VERY free-form. and i can understand why someone (a bass player in particular) would want a do-over. so don't be afraid to ask me to do so. and as soon as i get the next guy to tell me they can work with this, i'll post the actual recording

hellotwentyfifteen · 05.03.2006, 11:03 PM

its starting to sound really slice

i wish i had turned down the original track a bit though when i kmixed my drums

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.03.2006, 11:07 PM

Ooh. I'm excited to hear it so far.

Audacity is free software, and is decent at mixing. Plus you can export as MP3.
