      DV Musicians Unite!

      A looooooong long time ago I posted this Topic, like 2 years ago or more. A DV search yielded nothing however so I made it again.


      My idea is to gather a couple of musicians here and together make an entrancing, long MP3 suitable as Lucid Dream Aid. Either as thin red line to focus on while WILDing, or as Trance inducer to facilitate MILD-suggestions.

      If I make the first "underlayer" of a song/ambient sound, I could pass the file on to another musician, who does his/her contribution to it by making a small addition to the sound. Maybe a gentle melody or another background voice on top of it. And in turn he/she might pass it on to the next musician who adds yet another piece to this song/ambience.
      Bit by bit untill it becomes a fairly long, rich MP3/WAV file that can be played all night on Repeat and allows you to focus on it yet also fall asleep on it.

      I myself play some instruments but prefer to use synthesizers for this MP3.
      I have Reason 4.0 and Audacity 1.3 beta (unicode). The first for making beats/rythms and synthesizing melodies and the later for recording and editing sounds(Guitar, Vocals, Piano, percussion...)

      I can send people Reason 4.0-files, MP3-files or WAV-files of pieces of music/ambience so they can work with it.
      Anyone?

      i would really like to try this, i think it sounds like a really good idea. The only problem is that i work with Fruity Loops 6 and a couple of external VSTI kits such as FM8 and Eridol Orchestra.

      I'd be interested. I don't have any kind of home recording setup, but I can use my schools recording studio whenever, I just have to drag all my shit up there. We've got reason 4 , digital performer and a few other programs. I play guitar, piano and a few other things.
      157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

      Perhaps There's an option for converting Fruityloop files into WAV files.
      Also Reason 4 is easy to get. Easy to work with.

      I made a really nice ambient sound with Reason 4 just now. Of a forrest with crickets, birds and owls, swamp sounds, mysterious sounds. Just like a magical forrest by night. The mysterious sound is a sample of a submarine I added occasionally. It sounds like a forrest spirit or something. Then a storm, rain and some thunder.

      I could pass the Reason 4 File on to anyone who ahs Reason 4 and is interrested in making it longer by adding the next part to it. Like telling a nonverbal story.
      I can convert the Reasonfile into WAV or MP3 files also if that's workable for anyone without reason 4?

      i'd be interested in doing this, i've been playing guitar for 5 years and i play alot of melodic heavy metal, but i love to play slow clean music and do my own trance like music. I think it'd be really good.
      I've got my own recording software on here for wav and mp3 files.

      My band is on myspace but we've only got an instrumental teaser for one of our songs.
      We play heavy metal, but it's an example for ya.

      Nice stuff smcmaho,

      I especially liked "the Waiting". Did you write it note for note(The Violins) or did you sample it from an existing classical violin piece? If so can you send me either your song(WAVpreferably) or the original classical violin piece? Because I find it really lends itself for improvisation and in my head I allready had a great alternative version with Low Cello-bass going aswell as a mighty cool Reggae-style alternative with guitar accents and fat, deep bass.

      Please allow me to work my magic on this melody.


      Juicyfruit, if you can play some slow, dreamy guitar pickings, clean or with alot of reverb and/or delay and record that, maybe at one point we could put it into the track. ATM I have my accoustic nylon string guitar here so I could record some guitar too. We could play some guitar, electrical and accoustical, together perhaps.

      Thusfar I have Ambient Sound effects of a forrest, then of a thunderstorm and rain and then of a swamp. I imagine we could put in some mysterious guitarpickings/melodies there somewhere.

      I can play anything you'd like really.
      slow or fast, melodic or heavy, trancing or dreamy.

      Hey if you PM me your MSN adress I can send it via MSN messenger. Or your Gmail adress if it can handle Reason 4.0 Files.

      I have the forrest-storm-Swamp reason file made of Sampler's Sound FX, which is suitable for sleeping on and helfull in visualisation. I can send you that to work with for the Lucid Dream Aid MP3.

      I also have a couple of other files, reggae, ska and rocksteady loops, some loungy some trancy loops. If you want to do other musical collaborations that'd be cool too.


      Anyone else who has Reason 4 PM me your MSN adress or Gmail adress so we can pass on Reason files and add more sounds, ambient melodies, basses, beats..etc to the track. As long as it stays a track suitable to sleep on.

      I mailed the reason file to Stoned Ape. He will extend the track with his ideas and pass it on to someone else with reason 4.

      It will probably take forever before i get to work on it. Im just going to start my own track; i got some ideas that will sound really good.

      this is completely off topic; but about a month ago i had a dream, and in that dream i remember hearing one of tupacs songs at a friends house (this was a regular dream btw). When i woke up the song was still kinda playing in my head, and i remember thinking "i never heard this song before". So i then turned off my alarm and went on with my day

      I feel like an idiot because i never wrote the dream down, nor did i record myself humming the song. So now i kinda made a promise to myself, if i dream about a song; first thing im gonna do is record myself humming or singing it. then im going to try to remake it.

      So stoned ape is probably not gunna work on my Reason 4 track soon. Haven't seen em online here in a while.
      In the meantime I made a bunch of new loops. Really mystical, easygoing loungy music suitable for dreampurposes.

      So if anyone else wants to let me know and PM me your email adress or MSN adress so I can send it.

      Ska, the file you sent me won't open in reason. It says the are a bad format. Sorry I didn't say this sooner, but I didn't find out until earlier tonight. I've been busy with exams and other things.

      Send me another copy if you can think of what might be causing the bad format. Or maybe send it to someone else and see if it works for them. I'm done with school for the semester now, so if you can send me something I'll have time to work on it.
      157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

      I've sent you a Reason 4 file. Don't see why it wouldn't work.
      I could also send people Wav files if they don't have Reason 4.

      I have some files I can send to those that PM me their mail or MSN adress.
      If anyone's got some Reason 4 tracks they wanna send me to work on they should PM me.
