Gulliver Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Here is a new track of mine. It's not the final mix yet, but I hope it's getting close... Abracadabra - Electric Tentacle My "tribute" to Ozric Tentacles. Looking for your comments and critique, as always. Quote I am back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Well I've got a ruff mix. Where the heck can I upload a wav file for you to hear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DafDuc Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 www.recordingproject.com has several forums that allow uploading, including a Listening Room, and a Collaborations forum. They also have a radio station for members with over 50 posts. No deep linking allowed for any of these, but you can post the page link here. www.nowhereradio.com allows you to set up an artist page and use up to 25mb (I think) free. Deep linking and additional storage cost extra. Again, you're allowed to link to your artist page for free. Daf Quote I played in an 8 piece horn band. We would often get bored.

Tony Bennett Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Looks like my singer fellow set up a little site. Be nice now, this is a ruff cut, slapped together with a free download of Krystal. We're heading up to Minneapolis tomorrow to get some better recording equipment. This is piano and organ off of my rd-700sx. http://www.myspace.com/fellows3trio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBM Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I just finished (well, missing few things) Artist page at www.onebluemonkey.com , page where you can post your bio, photos, setup, music. For example, Ive posted myself as Jazzosapien, so you can see how it looks like in real. BTW, my music sucks big time! I know there area tons of things to add on, but I need your advice and expertise to see what are your needs and priorities? Its free of course, and you have plenty of space to use for photos and music. Also you get your own link, like mine www.onebluemonkey.com/jazzosapien I need your critics to make it better and you are all welcome. Sincerely OBM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Ok, here it is again, a little less rough cut I hope. I think we're about 70% on our way to having a decent sound. I'm starting to dig this home recording deal. http://www.myspace.com/fellows3trio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzman Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Tony the song on the whole sounds real nice. Vocals are clean and up front. I like the keys in this, done well. A really good job. Take care, Jazzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Bennett Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Thanks Jazzman! We've been plugging away in the old basement, hope to have a cd done with in 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 While perhaps not as interesting as a discussion of where one sticks his wanker I've been plugging along in the basement. The new web site is http://myspace.com/fellows2trio and we have added a new song. The mix down needs some help and back up vocals will be added.

K K Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hello, Just to say I added a new MP3 on my site. So besides the usual serious classical stuff, there's now a funny Maple Leaf Rag version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you mention stride, as I didn't know this term, so I'll look into Wikipedia to search what's the difference between it and ragtime. By the way, I really like your avatar.

Here's a little trick (see pic below)... Although that's also the cause of the dozens of little mistakes, but I thought it gave the piece an entertaining feel. http://www.logis-montifaud.com/images/1_bottle3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Maestro Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 When I go to any of your links to hear your music I get MP3 homepage sorry unable to locate 404 error. I think its because my Norton Antivirus is preventing certain programs from running. Anyone have any ideas. I would really like to hear all your music and maybe post a piece or two of my own.

Tony Bennett Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Are you using Norton Antivirus Internet protection? Sometimes I have to turn that off for a bit if I want to do something. I haven't had any problems with myspace though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigT Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Tony, I just listened to your Fellows2Trio demoes...really good stuff. What would you call the style? Folky pop maybe? On the It's Time To Run track you've got some organs in the mix. What are you using for your organs? And your piano for that matter? I seem to recall you have the RD-700SX.

poly Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Progressive keyboard CD release..... After a year and a half of a LOT of hard work and my hard earned money , my CD has been released. It's in the vein of older Genesis, Yes...etc. with just a touch of pop. Analogue synths are the focus. There's pics, audio samples, links, etc at my site....poke around. http://www.sonicmusic.net My CD is officially up at CDBaby http://cdbaby.com/cd/sonicmusic Cheers!!!

Trill Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Okay,its time to expose myself for the fraud I really am . The band I'm playing with put up a one page site and some demos. Here are some covers, Of Zoot Suit Riot, Get Down Tonight, and Vehicle. I played some basic keys on the the first two and covered the trumpets on Vehicle and sang backing vocals . Can I use the "I'm just a guitar player who started to learn keys 5 years ago" excuse at least one more time Paul Micheal Band Don't ask me about the dress code Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Thanks Craig, I keep asking myself what the heck it's called, I'd say folk/pop would be as close as anything. Both the organ and the piano are from the 700SX. I used the 600 grand piano sound and whatever the first Hammond sound is on the keyboard. I'm not a "techy" person, I just find one I like and go with it. I was just in the process of putting new songs up on myspace. I got two up before the site started to disagree with me. Our cd's will be printed in a few weeks.

linwood Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I think that this is the first time I've ever put any music up on this thread. I did this yesterday, it's the second one of these I've done this week. I was asked to do 10 cuts for a library and started on it Monday. My job is to give them 10 cuts @ 2.5 mins of "smooth light generic wallpaper", as they put it. You can copy/paste your butt off to make the 2:30. If you had to write/produce 2:30 of linear music, you wouldn't make any money. As you can hear, I only wrote maybe 24 to 32 bars and paste it all over the place. At 1:15 I paste the whole thing again to make the 2:30. No solos..they want changes with a pleasant melody. That's it. With this type work, just do it, mix it, and move on to the next piece. Commit and let go.On this one, I was going for a Laws/Klugh type vibe. Something you might hear in an elevator. That's the gig... elevator music. Here's a breakdown of the sounds. Kick/snare - scarbee hats - clearmountain crashes - rmx bass - trilogy clav - scarbee perc and nylon gtr - samplecell stuff I'm playing in machfive rhodes, flute,piano, strings,everything else... - motif es8 here\'s the tune...

Steve in KS Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Originally posted by gangsu: Originally posted by linwood: "smooth light generic wallpaper".uh-oh Having been in video production for more than 30 years, I understand the need for music that is "wallpaper." I know a lot of musicians hate doing this kind of thing, but it's really needed. It's also not something everyone can do. You have to hold back on your desire to 'take it somewhere.' A lot of times this music has to be mixed with voice overs that go in and out or crossfade into music of a dfferent mood altogether. We have tons of production music that is totally useless because it is too dynamic. The composers just couldn't hold back from having strong accents, solos or extreme dynamics. A healthy way to look at it is that production music is to 'real' music like commercial graphic design is to 'real' art. It requires talent to make it, but isn't something that can really stand on it's own or be looked at too intensely. This is a nice and very useable piece. It also sounds real. A lot of production music uses fakey synthetic orchestral sounds that always sound cheesey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Thanks Steve, I'll take that as a compliment. I've done a bunch of these things. The weirdest title for me that I did for firstcom was original children's tunes. Stuff like you might hear on Sesame St. and I had to get children to sing all of them. I earned my money on that one. Try teaching pre-schoolers songs they've never heard and record it and make the client say..."yes, that's what I wanted". If they don't, you do it again...As sad as it is, I enjoy it. Beats playing in the lounge and I've got something new to write everyday. I'm not too judgmental on the production music I hear either. I know how fast everyone has to work on the low budget stuff. Like yesterday, I did that and two sessions. You know the drill....There's no time to do your best, or money.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
