Music You've Made
 

So I kinda figured there were a couple of people here who write/play music. I like to write because I've been playing since I was little, but that isn't here or there.

Here is a song I've written about an ex that I had. It's pretty basic so don't expect solid gold or anything like that.

My roots are in punk rock, southern rock, and reggae. This is a dub style tune.

Dub is basically a type of dance/jamming music I suppose.

Eitherway tell me it sucks, or it needs this, or it's good.

Here it is.

This thread is to encourage anyone who writes music to post it. Criticism is always cool, but being a dick isn't. lol

I'm building a cigar box guitar. All I need to do is find the right neck.

I feel your song in my toes, MJ.

MattJack, I think that sounded pretty good. Did you play all the instruments yourself and record/mix it yourself or what?

Fathom, when you finish that pixplz.

Well I'm sure you've already heard my comedic music with A.L.E. and other stuff like the "I Will Beat Pacman" and "Dead Backstreet Boys" tunes, but I also did some more experimental stuff a few years back. Nothing amazing, just messing around really, but here it is if you want to take a listen:

its threads like these that make me wish iron mitchell still posted here

iron mitchell sucked he did nto even know zeni geva were a metal band

I rap with my friend craig but its hard to get together to do it, and it's just joking around

noob and sam are supposed to guest star for us some time :O
www.myspace.com/doompatroleum

i didnt even pay attention to his musical tastes tbh, i just remember him having some mad bands on the go. it was this thread i remember - http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/showthread.php?p=245634.

Fathom, good luck on that dood, I wanna see some pictures. And thanks. Drink a beer or 8, then do some illegal substance(s) to get the full effect of the tune


Wow thanks man, I appreciate it. The only thing I didn't write/play was the bassline. My best friend writes all the bass parts.

I played/recorded/arranged all other parts in the song. Instead of doing actual drums, I just made a loop or two and used that for the main beat. I played with a synth to get the electro sounds mixed in too.

maybe I'll put another up one day.

I kinda like it dood. I'm completely new to electronic music, so I listen to everything with an open mind. Is there something you are going for? or is it just you completely experimenting?

You use a lot of ambience in these tunes, which isn't a bad thing. To me, and I mean no disrespect, it sounds like some of these tunes could be in video games. Maybe not all of them, but Weakday, Rupture, and Walking On Fish immediately conjure video game-esque mental pictures. Eitherway, I think it's cool.

Oh lord. I'm always down for mock rap. If you send me the tracks I'll screw it out for yall. I'm talkin dirty south. I'm not down with stank yum yum though haha

I made a bunch of recordings of sounds from different objects. Some of it sounds pretty fucked up ( idid one with multiple radio frequencies playing at one, and static).

I'm pretty sure this counts as music:

Our Love Is a Gingerbread House

wasn't iron mitchell the noise guy? he was the man

me and... fuck, i can't remember his name. me and some other guy on here (used to have the website digitalhorse?) we made some noise tracks before, if i can find them i'll post them.

otherwise i'm in two bands
http://www.myspace.com/georgeorwellthemusical
http://www.myspace.com/slightlyoutrageousneanderthals

the first is a more experimental / metal band and the second is a fun metal band

woo! :love

bigtimecow: Great stuff, i really like george orwell the musical. I always admire people who can scream like that without making their throats bleed. Slightly Outrageous Neanderthals is pretty damn good too. Try and find those noise tracks too, i'm eager at all times to hear noise.

In other news, i uploaded some stuff i made last year for yall's listenin' pleasure (if you fancy this kind of stuff):
Armies
My corroded wench
Scalpelswamp
Rust-drill

The first two i'd call industrial, the third harsh noise (and it really is harsh). The last one i can't categorize.

EDIT: I guess i should also share my tools of the trade. I've been using jeskola buzz (wikipedia entry) for roughly a year and a half now. Before that i used various trackers, like modplug tracker and similar for some time. So basically my setup is a rather crappy windows pc with a rather crappy headset plugged into it.

EDIT 2: I had to remove the last one to free up some CYBER-space.

I wrote and performed every bit of the hit "holiday road" from the national lampoon's vacation movies. I also mentored Danny Elfman (we went to grade school together in what seems like aaaages ago!).

I'm not sure if you can call it music but..
Me and my friend started a band for the sole purpose of destroying music.
We're releasing a full length CD this summer. The insert it going to be an apology to music.
http://www.myspace.com/youfuckingsuckihateyou

As you can tell. We totally take ourselves and our "art" very seriously.

My band's stuff can be downloaded here. We put absolutely no effort into recording those. I play guitar.

I use a music programm (yeah, I know, I suck) and some things haven't even been all that bad, considering that I have next to no musical education. Haven't uploaded them anywhere, seeing how I'd probably be pretty embarassed, but maybe I will in the future.

I played a guitar with a crappy sound but then i started to use a program called frooty loop or FL studio to experiment some techno rythms and i found that have some funny drums pre recordered that you can modify. So I create some tunes now have to add some guitar but i am still very lazy about it. I hope to make some dubs miself since a like reggae very much. je je je cheers! have a freaking good saturday

http://www.myspace.com/october31
I helped do gang vocals for all the songs on their MySpace except for the Sabbath cover.
My favorite is "Commit To Sin".

Yeah, I've played around with that too, but you can forget it for anything but Techno or House, or anything like that. All the actual "instruments" sound so messed up. The Piano hurts me, the brass does too, and I don't know what's up with the guitars. It's easy if want to smack some beats together, but that's about it.

Can anyone lone me some beats so I don't have to steal them?

Well, what kind of beat are you looking for? It's easy to make somthing with FL Studio 6, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I made you a beat but I dropped it.

[/lolcat]

Nevermind, I have the perfect one in mind.

lol @ pub

:(

Would it be theft if someone just gives them to you?

I got aboot 5 or 6 hundred, in .wav format

By stealing, I meant take them from other songs. For a mashup or something like that. I don't believe that's illegal. PM me.

well, what kind of beats are you looking for?

I NEED INTIMATE DETAILS

speaking of mashups, I was mashing up the misfits and otis redding the other night, but then I lost interest/will to do it

maybe i'll post the 30 second clip or so file

That sounds bizarre enough to be interesting. I just need any beats and I'll build around it. I don't have anything in mind that needs one and I already have one for a mash I'm making.

just some basic loops?

and what format would you like?

what program(s) do you use for this project?

I'm using Audacity at the moment. Perhaps I'll find something better.

jedi, can you link those beats?

I just found them. 3 disks of ransacked beats and soundbites. I have no idea what's even on them.

I remember, at the time the disks were made, me and friends were playing with FruityLoops, Acid and SoundForge 5.0 a lot. And i was taking loops from borrowed video games, movies, stuff from the library, anything really.

But yeah, let me dump the shit on megaupload

brb

megaupload is not cooperating with me...

I have some generic beats on one disk. The other two, it turns out are all soundbites pillaged from sound effects records checked out from the library.

Anyway, how can I send a folder that's over 500 megs?

Zip that shit up or split them up.

Jeez.... that was almost painful.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FU51E647

These are the beats, and i used WinRAR to compress.

Again, they are .wav files

Cheesy, spooky sound effects soon.

The Misfit Twist

I wouldn't even call it a mashup actually. I was just bored and playing around, and then I got bored with this piece too. I am kind of more into dance and remixes than mashups, but whatev.

I need a beat that meshes with Hold On Loosely.

by 38 special?

Indeed

:lol That sounds fuggin awesome

By the way, did the beats I uploaded work for you?

Haven't been able to download them. Not your fault, though.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=55MN1W8Z

Spooky stuff

Well, sort of

Edit - here's some more


http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7DXA10OT

Fathom, do you need a specific tempo or does it not matter? I am not familiar with your software.

I am totally down with make you some fly ass beats, son

Doesn't matter, I can make it work. Same tempo as Hold on Loosely, if you don't mind.

Here's some random stuff I recorded a few years ago. I was trying to go for kind of a ambient, creepy vibe on this. For the "Voices" recording I put a bunch of radios in front of a tape recorder, on different stations, and later added some echo effects to it on my PC. On "Feedback", I would recorded the (you guessed it) feedback from my PC speakers, and then record more feedback over the old recording being played. I just wanted to see what weird noises and sounds I could make with speaker and radio feedback, fans, and other things.

that was me >:

I made a new song, in like, ten minutes :(,

I messed the soft part though, and I unsure to whenever it's good or not, since it's just chords, and random shitty scaling.

http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/Deadmen/'

EDIT:Yeah, I' pretty shure it's shitty :(

I'm downloading Jediscum's Beets now. I haven't been able to at my joint.

My computer died (RIP BUDDY), and so I have this D*LL an' I h8 it. I promise I didn't flake on you Fathom :(

Did you ever make yer 38 Special shit?

I'm gettin' on with it.

My computers are shit, so audio encoding'll have to wait. But I'm doing stuff.

http://myspace.com/Liebestoter
http://myspace.com/SaintFuckFace

Couple of projects I did.

Reminds me of playing Doom :love

A bit of contructive criticism: they're kinda on the repetive side. A couple more ideas per tune would help A LOT. But still, neat to listen to.

Yeah, I know it's repetitive. That's why the songs are kept to a relative shortness (An average of 3:30). This is due to a broken microphone port on my computer, not allowing me to have any vocals.

They're just projects, but I actually made a Liebestoter album. Not professional, just a "Burn/Print your own" copy, though. My current project (Tar Man) is going to be a lot more serious, and be done more professionally, I hope.

Busy busy busy...

I recorded myself playing greensleeves on my bass

some stuff i did a few ages ago:

www.fakeacid.com

newer stuff is not online

also http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00565/ i did years ago.

i did a river city ransom mix of the boss music i liked a lot better but it was not accepted :sleep

that's the shit I'm talkin bout right thurrr

Soundtest, I'm def all about that mess

nah but srsly I just listen to that shit 3 times rapid fire

Metallica vs. Led Zepplin vs. U2 vs. The Butthole Surfers.

Another idea I have. Now that I have enough ideas, I'm ready to put them into practice.

You could call it "Hairway To Steven" or.... hell, I don't know

Haha, yeah. That is a reference on multiple levels.

I'm scraping a beat out of St. Anger. :rolleyes

so i just mashed together my 1st mash. took me about an hour I guess?

I know it's all over the place, but hey, I was just trying to have a lil fun.

http://www.mediafire.com/?ygwnlmznjtl

It feels off.

Then again, I haven't done much. I really have to up my game.

yeah I feel the same way, but oh well. I didn't put enough time into it :\

I'm trying out a new method of sequencing too, so I think that had a large part in it :(

I made some beats, i know i suck but making this is like a therapy to me, also it's seems that a new FLstudio 8 has come out, i didn't try it yet, these ones were make it with the 7th version.

http://www.mediafire.com/?dxcujyte13b
http://www.mediafire.com/?dmdiuljmcwt

I think I'm gonna get one of these:

The sequencers are bugging me 'cause I can't feel it.

http://boomp3.com/listen/byq73lqju_2/woah

cchchchceck it out :x

http://boomp3.com/listen/byq853euf_f/woah-2

changed it, oh man i wish i could edit posts still :x

it sez file deleted :(

the 2nd links isn't deleted, the first one is 'cause it was just the unfiinished of the second :x

You can see some of my guitar/vocal work at www.theotisjonesproject.com for my current project. Some of my older guitar work can be heard at www.myspace.com/bulletforbetty for the last band I was with. Enjoy.

I just formed a band called "The Boons". Pyschadelic Noise stoner rock. So far we only have one song.

I have just realized that I have the time, the money, and the experience to record music and have been a lazy fuck since playing games all the time :(.

Sharing is caring >:

Does anyone here have something like a 4track. I'm looking to buy something to record on and I don't want to use the computer. I've used things like cakewalk and soundforge before, but I really like the simplicity of a dedicated recorder. I don't want a 4track, I'm just looking for suggestions along this line for the price of about $1000.

I just got Fruity Loops from a friend so I plan on posting some of my TASTY LICKS and PHAT BEATS soon :hat

You know when I get the free time to actually fucking learn how to use it :(

What version do you have? Do you have any manuals? What do you want to know?

A/S/L?

Pics?

Fruity Loops is not my friend.

I don't know man I just spent like 45 minutes of my time on what amounts to 20 seconds of gay noise so don't tell me it doesn't have its merits

MUSIC I'VE MADE:

http://boomp3.com/listen/c0otyc4g2_w/untitled

A WHOLE NIGHT WASTED ON FRUITY LOOPS :(

Someone name it for me

Industrial RE-Evolution

It's kind of annoying but catchy at the same time, it would make decent bossfight music for a 2d game

This might do what you want for about a grand.

That's what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Does anyone have any hi hat samples? I rly rly need some.

Looking for hip hop/breakbeat hi hats.

tanx

Here are my earnest bedroom recordings about being a nerd with a guitar. Tracks from the imaginary album "all my friends are bartenders." http://www.myspace.com/perroscantantes

BUMP

Anybody got anything new?

Me and a friend recorded some more songs on http://www.myspace.com/100yearsofboxing over the course of two days last christmas.

Look on ThePirateBay for drum packs. I got a giant pack of them.


Also,

http://myspace.com/lightsoutgodhelpme

Yeah I've picked up some samples since then. Thanks though.

Nice man!

Mainstream is my favorite.

Do you use a bit crusher plugin or what?

A What-now?

PS: I'm uploading some new tracks right now.

WRONG THREAD SHERLOCK WHAT A BAD SLEUTH U R >:

I know a guy who does Industrial and he uses a bit crusher(and I do to some extent) for some of his sounds. It's basically a type of distortion that you can put/layer on/with sounds that wouldn't normally be hard sounding (soft synths, 8-bit, drums, etc).

Anyways just wondering and cool tunes man. Keep it uppppppppp

Haha, believe it or not, everything on that page is made in FL studio.

I'll check out finding a bit crusher app. Know anywhere I can find one?

FL Studio is a really powerful tool, so I believe it :D

As far as bit crushers I just utilize the one built into Native Instruments' Massive app. I'm sure you can google FL Studio Plugins, and then find a site that has one.

You should also check out the aforementioned Massive app. It is very impressive, and well, massive in its capabilities. You can plug it in through FL Studio as well, so it will fit right in for you.

I should note I know nothing technical about FL. I know how I want shit to sound, so I fuck around until I get it to sound the way I want it.

I'll figure something out. Thanks.
