Right, this should be awesome!!
On a previous thread, we got into conversation about how it would be awesome to form a Totseans band of some sorts and quite a few people said that they would be willing to get involved in this thread
What Brand of instrument do you play
This type of thing as many possibilities and will be great fun, bringing the community together to work as a collective and in a musical sense just seeing what we can come up with
If your reading this and you play something, post below and tell us what you play!!!! We'll add the instrument to the piece that we're doing and it'll sound even better. We will all have input on this, create parts for ourselves, make suggestions etc. We are not short of facilities either: BK has Fruity Loops, I have Cubase and will soon be attending a music course in Uni (equipment, sound production software etc) so there is nothing that we don't have.
As it stands, the current members of the band are:
- GoingNowhere on keyboards/Cubase drums (good samples),clarinet etc (whatever we're short of or need).
- Bornkiller on lead guitar
- TRX100 rhythm guitar
- Darth Beaver (TDR) Bass
- DementedCupcakes on Flute
- Spinster on vocals
Another gentlemen maybe on the list would be Remade , but I don't know if he plays anything. If anyone plays any instrument (including singing), post below!!
This will be nice and structured though, as if there is no structure it may just fall apart! And please keep an eye on this post, it will be continually updated.
Updates
Just stickied the thread as it's a long term thing.
Structure
First step: Introduce your instruments, how long you've been playing, and what kind of music you play and enjoy (Very Important)
Comments
That's awesome, thanks TRX Neither did I lol, you learn something new about people every day eh? What kind of music do you enjoy playing? Are you more of a rhythm guitarist or lead?
We need to find everyones comfort level plus we need a theme, music style and tune. But meh! Plenty time for that I suppose. We can work a tune out later & sort ourselves out first.
Any vocalists in the house yo?
You may disagree with me, but I think DFG would have a good voice Pity he doesn't sing!! lol
If all else fails, we'll just be an instrumental band
I can help with video, audio mastering, promotions and the works.
Sound mixing would be MF awesome bro.

If somebody needs an audio editor/creator , you can either torrent one like Cubase, Fruity Loops, Sony....etc. Or you can use Audacity which is opensource & does the job reasonably well. (Not sure how it performs in windows though.)

Haha, damn how do you remember that! Only choir though (top tenor), haven't done any solo work
Hmmm....Vocalist huh!
That boom boom club thing is kinda catchy. Funk jazz bass is :cool: shit.
I don't mind playing anything except for black metal and country & western.
I'll try & slap something together tonight and hopefully dropbox it tomorrow arvo. If anyone else wants to add something as well. The more the better.
Just a rythym will be fine. It doesn't need to consist of a shit load of jazz, classical fusion chords. 1, 2, 3 or 4 basic chorder is fine. It just needs to make up a tune & pattern, or something we can work with. And yes! It is possible to create a one chord piece. :thumbsup:
What sorta music you like to sing/play bro?
Sorry about the spelling, too many beerw
I need inspiration. All those involved with this project, please post a youtube vid of what sorta music you like to play. Perhaps we can merge the styles and it would be much easier to figure something productive out.
Just a composition I did earlier in the year. Got a few mistakes in but I'ts the most recent thing I've done.
I did this when I loaded guitar rig a couple of nights ago. This was me testing it. Now this, shit is full of mistakes. Then again it was the first attempt and made up of 2 tracks. The shitty assed lead break is the 2nd. :facepalm: Sorry for the rustic guitaring. I notice I make very few playing for the fun of it but turn to shit when recording.

Totse2s compilation piece. It's not really my type of thing but I liked their originality and thought it was worth saving.

That is most kind of you BK, first time I've shown that to anyone. It's a secret love of mine, composing Mistakes that I guess only I would know because it's my piece and I guess you notice more when you play/compose it. Because most of it was improvised, I had to edit a slight bit that went wrong in the piece and the edit wasn't clean cut.
Ahh, I love that piece. We did it in college and it was such fun!! Lovely to hear an acoustic too You and me both bro, recording turns any piece that you swear you know into something that you hate yourself for. Still, I'm glad we can record at home these days!
Totse2 was interesting to listen to. I liked what they managed to achieve other the internet, and the drums were a redeeming feature of the piece. However, the mixing of the instruments was just :facepalm: (really let the piece down) and I reckon if it had structure it would have been 2x better. The synth aspect was cool, and I reckon they could have brought that out more in the piece. Good go though, I can't think of any more challenging circumstances than numerous people creating a piece of music in different parts of the globe!!
I see a huge potential in this
Fuck! I just spent more time opening a sound cloud account than putting this together. FU sound cloud.
How about something along these lines? Ya? Nah?
I'll post a couple more ideas with different styles & see what ya'll think. They're pretty simplistic as well.
That is incredibly kind of you sirs
Loving the ideas BK Sounds great!
