Calling all the musicians!

[RobRideout]

Shooting up the town, boys...

Nevermind that, to business!

Sorry if you've heard this before, but I recently put together an albums worth of songs from my dailyjams. All the songs have been handpicked for juiciness and polished to a lovely ripe sheen, and are ready for re-recording whenever I have the necessary resources.

All I need now is people to play the songs! Since the only credit I am really concerned about on this album is the writer and producer, I have decided to forego(spelling?) the traditional standpoint of playing all the instruments myself and I am appealing to other beautiful and talented musicians to put the audio down. I'll then be sending the tracks off to be mixed by our very own Mouse, before attempting to get the album released on iTunes and Spotify.

I thought a prog rock forum would be a brilliant place to advertise for this because prog musicians are generally considered to be quite adept at their instruments. At least that's what I hear...

So here is a link to the track listing and some demo recordings of the album tracks, and I'll do another post after this detailing what I still need, and if there's something there you fancy doing, then bagsy it!

I'll be doing most of the communications and audio transfers by dropbox, so you won't have to travel up and down the country, all the work can usually be done in your own home. I'll be collecting DI tracks for bass and guitar and re-amping them myself, and in some cases MIDI files for drums and piano (but if you have facilities to record yourself, by all means, do!). If you have means of recording vocals, then let me know and you can do some wailing

There's loads of styles available, so there should be something for everyone!

THE LINEUP SO FAR!
Right, I have an excel file (well organised, me!) of who's doing what, so I'll recreate it as best I can in list form!

Thankyou! Sorry about the ridiculously long post

[E.S.]

Sounds fun. I'll have a look/listen when I have a moment to clear my brain of any other musical disturbance. Maybe I can throw in a keyboard part or two.

[RobRideout]

Thanks, E.S I remember you mentioning about helping last time I brought this up, but I'm a bit more organised this time, I have a spreadsheet and everything!

So if and when you let me know what you want to do, I'll write you in

[Mikey]

and everything!

Quelle expense  

[johninblack]

I will need:
Bass for:
Overtime
Time Makes Fools of Us All
The Bird that Never Flew
Attack, Attack
I
Shut Up and Drive

Once I've done some more of the FFCS I'll have a look at contributing some Bass to one or more of these. So long as there's no desperate hurry?

[RobRideout]

No hurry of any kind, John. Not even a tiny smattering of urgency, I'd be glad to have you on board, though. The world is perilously short of good bass players...

In advertising news, Simon Godfrey just helped get the message out via facebook This has made me CHUFFED into bits. Little iddy biddy tiny bits.

[Mordwin]

The world is perilously short of good bass players...

Something I don't expect to be helping with any time soon. Rubbish or mediocre ones on the other hand...

Good luck with the project, I'm sure with all the ridiculously talented folks that hang about here you'll get it all sorted, and a gold star for Simon!

[BrizzleRocker]

If you're in no rush (I'm doing up a new house, learning 30 songs for a new band and working full time currently) then I'd love to do some guitar on

Overtime
Shut Up and Drive
Crossroads
The Bird that Never Flew
Wake Up

And happy to play bass on Attack, Attack!

But feel free to use me as backup!

B

[Mooncat]

Couldn't see the tracks that require drums - am I missing something (as usual!!!)

[sawtooth]

I'm up for keys still. It'll give me something to do in all those luvverly Christmas holidays!

[Pedro]

I'm up for keys still. It'll give me something to do in all those luvverly Christmas holidays!

Is that after you finish your "Other Me" remix?  :twisted:

[E.S.]

Ooh, I'd love to remix that too. Are there stems somewhere out there?

[Mikey]

Ooh, I'd love to remix that too. Are there stems somewhere out there?

Out there, There's a world outside of Yonkers, Way out there beyond this hick town, Barnaby, There's a slick town, Barnaby
Out there, Full of shine and full of sparkle, Close your eyes and see it glisten, Barnaby, Listen, Barnaby...
Put on your Sunday clothes,There's lots of world out there, Get out the brillantine and dime cigars
We're gonna find adventure in the evening air, Girls in white in a perfumed night, Where the lights are bright as the stars!
Put on your Sunday clothes, we're gonna ride through town, In one of those new horsedrawn open cars.................

Todays quiz, was I ?

Cornelius or Barnaby

[Pedro]

Ooh, I'd love to remix that too. Are there stems somewhere out there?

All we have is the Other Me vocal track. I can try to send that to you (I say "try" because my PC shuffled off its mortal coil a while ago and I've been unable to afford to fix it yet).
