Frost* Forum Collab Song - the Discussion thread (TDT!)

[gr8gonzo]

That's why I posted on this thread and not the official one. Just a bit of silliness, sorry. Not trying to upset anyone. =)

I'm just messing with you Gonzo!  :lol:
Sorry, I didn't try to upset you! This is indeed the thread for talks and sidetracks!  

Oh, I'm not upset. Just making sure you weren't. I understand and respect the need to keep the project serious if it's to be productive. And I'm nothing if not serious. =P~~~

Pedro claims "stickies" aren't part of his "moderator toolkit". Shouldn't every musician carry duck tape (and condoms) with him as standard survival material?!

It's prolly best not to give me too much power...I don't want responsibility for the grate.
'Tis surely enough to have a dedicated topic for the serious stuff which, if collaborators are keen, will bump along towards the top of the page wihtou being too sticky.
If you, Ron, keep updating the first post in the topic then the current state of the project will be easy to find. N'est pas?

I've not visited this part of the forum for a while....




GOOD LORD WHAT IS GOING ON?



Have I created a monster? Incidentally I was just writing some tiddly bits for fun but think they can be fired squarely at this project now.

Wil work just fine me thinks.

Yes and yes!

You've certainly given mine the jump(har!)start it needed!  

EDIT: Ooops, innuendometer glitch...recovered.

HAR! You forgot the HAR!!  

[Pedro]

Good point!

Slightly serious question, is this project going to contain lyrics? If so I think they should definitely be introduced where Pedro's theremin comes in. Possibly even replacing it with "ohhhhhs" and "ahhhs" ?

[gr8gonzo]

I like to think lyrics are more my forte than actual playing (or lead singing, for that matter) and I'm more than happy to write. However, this seems to be starting off more like an overture, which wouldn't necessarily call for lyrics. That said, who's to say we can't combine segments of overture with segments of original material with vocals? Could be the coolest song structure ever done. No rules, right? I want steak.

[Pedro]

If someone can make a vocal part work then my vote would be "why the heck not?". It's not something I have ever done successfully but that's prolly just because my singing voice is terrible anywhere other than in my head!
As the thing gets longer (har!) I'm sure there will be more song-like passages, as people who can write that way join in.

I ensist on it! We have vocalists among us don't we?!

[ich_bin_besser]

A song with lyrics always gets more attention and appreciation, I'd say. So go for it!
Working title: "The Steak"

Just uploaded a clip starting from just before the 12-string lead-in and with my drum track removed.
This is so that the drummers out there can play-along and develop their own drum-track(s) to share.
