That's pretty damn good, man.

Geszing, is that you playing/singing? I love that song.

its me singing.
If theres no places for main voices i would be happy to do some harmonies.

Wow, you're an awesome vocalist. How long have you been singing for? I'm guessing awhile, considering the young tone of your voice.

Ok guys, I have a mix of my music with Joseph_Stalin's music and Oneironaut music.
If you like it then we can just keep adding more and more tracks if others wish to put their stuff in too go ahead.
If not everyone likes this version then we can change things around and do whatever.

While Listening think of a scene from waking life to start off, then transition into the dreaming world. From there imagine a dream scene and as things progress, more of the dream world becomes apparent.
You could think of the contrast between Lucid dreaming and unconscious deaming.
Then witness as the scene changes back to the waking world.

Enjoy!

Peace,

Holy crap, that gave me the chills! Excellent, excellent work man! The part starting at 1:35 was particularly awesome. Great as far as it is now

Hah, and I love the part at around 3:00 where it sounds like you're toking up, hahaha.

Very good! I was just wondering why you were "counting" (1,2,3,4...1,2,3,4...)

someone's head's gonna roll if they don't include you...

Joseph_Stalin, I'm glad you like it, man!! The piece that you have made is beautiful, I really like the feel of it.

The counting was to keep time on one bit that I was recording. When I had done it it reminded me of counting when trying to WILD, so I left it in.

Oh, man....that was pretty badass, Tom.

I like all the little ambient elements in there in the background, too. And I agree: that part at about 1:35 where it sorta "descends" into the dream is awesome. You threw that together well, man.

Oneironaut, man. I am happy to hear that you like it too! I must say that I love doing this sort of thing. I love making music with other people.
If anyone has any other ideas feel free to add more and more!

Thanks a bunch man, and you've more than done it justice.

I had figured the counting was either for the feel of a WILD-induced dream, or, as you've said, to help you keep time. A fugato in 3/8 time doesn't help either when you're trying to record parts over something.

well I wasn't even trying to keep perfect time or anything it was just a rough guide for me. In the end I thought that was perfect for a WILD style counting thing, when you try that technique you find that your counting goes all over the place. (I just made my self a coffee milkshake, taste central)

I play drums and I also sing, yeah.

And one thing I could do to this is like, make it sound dreamy. I have a sexy wave editor.

I hate to sound like an ass but I used to be a lot better at singing before my voice broke -- if you want to keep singing so well, you're going to need to put in a lot of work. I didn't realise this to a while after mine broke, like a bit of a prat.

ok thanks.... i think.

Mmm it was advice but I thought it might come across as sounding like something else.

This is a good idea!

I'm a metal/funk/rock drummer - unfortunately I just sold/ gave away all my recording equipment.

Due to my equipment change, I can't do anything at the moment But Tom's doing well I hope I'll fix my problems asap.

Had a little fun this weekend messing around with the tune myself -> DV song-TJmix

I like the idea of taking one concept (like Tom's piece) and rendering different versions and takes on it. I got a couple other genres I might try, but this one still has some refining and work left on it.

PS- Tom, I wasn't able to get to that piece you posted on the 25th - could you update it? (maybe take out the spaces in the file name?)

That's pretty cool, Joe! I like the part were you hear Tom's voice "Here it goes" then the music jams.

Is it possible to record guitar with nothing but cables and a PC? I might be able to put a mic right up to the amp, but I'm not sure if that would work well. I'm not sure if I can contribute much, but I want to do something.

Sure, just a cable with a male 1/4" prong on one end (for the guitar) and male 1/8" prong on the other.

Does your amp have headphone jack? All you'll need is some way of getting your guitar signal into the mic input of your PC. This usually just requires a cable with one end being a male 1/8" prong (to fit the PC input). Most guitars are 1/4", so you might need a 1/4" > 1/8" converter.

This way you go from guitar (1/4") to PC (1/8")

OR

guitar > amp (1/4") then amp headphone (or "output") jack (1/4" or 1/8") > PC (1/8")

I'll look for that. Even so, I'm not sure what I can contribute. I can do relatively easy solos, and backup guitar is fine, but David Gilmour I ain't.
