My wife had this sent to her, on her facebook page.

It's an interesting recording project, that I wish I had something to do with.

My wife and I where just talking about this video.

We are looking to see if any one else here is interested in doing a project similar to this one.

Have everyone agree to a song, record it and video tape it. And send it back here.

Is there anyone here that could mix the audio and video together?

And is anyone interested?

How would the arrangement responsibility be distributed? This might be a good way to exercise my studio production course's kung fu. I just bought a sweet HD camcorder too. I would be especially interested if we could somehow make this an advertisement for a mutually agreed upon good cause. I'll do some research if others are interested.

@ Rob: I know a lot more about songwriting than I know about amp mods...I swear, hah.

What a beautiful piece of work.

The mixing of the audio and video would not be that difficult. It could be done with minimal equipment.

#1 most important thing....click track!

Hey Quincy, I think when we find someone who is willing to take on the responsibility. I would imagine that a CD would be mailed to that person. With two files, the video, and audio files.

Beerhunter I was thinking the same thing. A click track set to the time, and a guide track of whatever song that is chosen.

I think that a mutual recording program would be the easiest way to go as well. Something that has a free trial, or download. Same for the video as well.

Love it! We here at the Bulimic Walrus Studios may be interested, depending on the song. : )

I don't think we'd have a problem doing the mixing for sound and video, either.(Sonar does it all) It just depends on the song, really... have to be something the boys are interested in.

Y'a know, we've never been big on covers around here, so I wouldn't know where to begin with the picking of one. Maybe we could come up with a few titles to select from, and go from there? Perhaps if we were to each supmit three titles, and then make a decision from those, or something like that? Any specific genre we going for? Probably something 'upbeat', eh?

And yes, I can mix to video no problems. Both Vegas and Sonar can do that. Editing would be in Vegas though I prefer to use Sonar of the final mix.

I'll have to check out the link tomorrow though and I'll drop back to the thread then.

And as for timing. All files can be broadcast wav and as long as someone doesn't mess with the file by shrinking or editing it it will have its original start and end time intact and simply drop into a piece.

I've worked on many net project's were we all never see each other, and sometimes don't communicate. We simply upload files and send a note when its ready to drop into the mix.

We just weren't sure if there was any other interest in a project like this.

So, Noize. If you do this. You want the video in vegas, and the audio in sonar. Correct?

I love the idea of this project but; I say we write a song. HRC has been needing an original collab for some time imo. Too much talent not to.

Someone write a song on guitar, send to drummer, send to bassist, send to soloist, send to synth guy, then to a vocalist :) If we have too many volunteers we can either make two groups or fill the song out with layers upon layers of greatness.

I would be happy to contribute guitars, bass, drums, vox or whatever is needed.

I have a couple different style songs I would be willing to offer up. Two examples would be a slower moody acoustic ditty and one folk rock tune that is more upbeat (very irish folk sounding).

I have no quams about doing an original, but I thought that the idea was to be more 'mainstream', as to connect better with those who see the video? Just the same Tripps, doing an original woiuld be sweet... maybe doing that after this project would be the way to go???

Besides "down at papa joe's" I have attempted to "not" learn any covers in about 15 years as I honestly find no joy in it. I don't think I'm better than that, it just does not interest me. I'm gonna stick with that little promise to myself :)

Hey Rob?... What exactly would that be???


Also, I had an idea come to mind regarding the song that I want to throw at ya's:

What about covering Black Sabbaths 'Supernaut', and change things up by adding solos between the verse, and chorus-type parts? Er... I don't know, perhaps some other song which is already somewhat compartmentalized in it's design would be perfect for parting it out to different styles, as well as places. That's just the first song that came to mind, besides Megadeths Hanger 18.(long and difficult) Supernaut though, is a good bluesy, upbeat, easy to twist, song that could translate well with other styles, methinks.

That's what made Hanger 19 work so damn well.

I agree on the original song front. I take the same stance as Captain.

What about an original song about a familiar topic...I'd still like to work toward meaningful content. With such a talented group of people, why not leverage that with some relevance and good intentions?

Alright, whoever is the biggest control-freak... jus' let us know what we can do. I kid, I kid...

Really, though... this would be new to us... on this 'ground-up' type level. I'm dyin' to find out how we go about writing like this? do we each write a piece relative to the topic, and comp it all together somehow?... do we simply cover an instrument?

How's this weird thing work?

Music is life.

Life, should be music!


I think and original would be good as well. It leaves and open door to cover a lot of ground genre wise. The piece could be an evolving music scape of sorts.

In the last 20 some years I've been involved in a good deal of projects just like this. And to be honest, some have taken a good deal of time. One was almost 2 years in the making, just for fun!

For those that weren't here then when HRC was small. We tried to get a project going for Save the Music. Which to me is one of those foundation's that is very worth while.

The simple fact that we have members from around the globe, as in the video's there make it a no brainer to do something that will evolve not just through genre, but through culture as well.

Since reading this last night and watching the first video this afternoon my little brain has been on overload.

Quincysan and Rob have the right idea. This could, and should be something on the grandest scale.

We are going to need some of the people I have great faith in here. Coolo, Walt, Col. Sanders, Flame, Coco from Scottland, Presley, cinx and several others from various places around the globe.

I am wondering if it is possible, would it be wise to follow and put this toward Playing for Change? After doing some research it is something I think we all might see as worthwhile. And honestly the idea that music can work in many ways to do this.

After watching several more of the video's, ok all of the video's I'm gettin abit of a chubby about this.

I think creating something original that touches on how music is a common thing just as they are showing would be cool.

Do you think we can get Grandpa Elliot to partake?

But indeed, something with the substance of Stand by Me and the others.

Hue, I'm in a project right now that works like that. Each person adds a part. But out of 9 people you only get to hear 2 others parts. There is a general theme and key but its open and makes for some interesting evolving music. It very electronic though.

I would like to see this involve some world instruments as in the video's.

Actually for me that would be right up my sampling alley. But I would truly prefer they be real. Although samples and found sounds being incorporated would be cool as well.


Quincysan, your very right on the talented group here.

Tomorrow I am going to make a list of HRC alumni past and present that could help us make this come to life...

Well said, Noize. I am more on-board about this now, after reading your words, than ever. I see the full scope of what this may be... quite a beautiful thing.

I remember the Save The Music thing. I believe my join date is about a year, or so off.(Remember when everything got reset?) It just kind'a fell off the ledge and lay there. This project, I could see being different.

Oh , and we have manyworld-percussion instruments 'round here, and I know the Cap'n has some as well, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Yep, I think my real since date is like 10 years ago or so, maybe more.

But ya, I know J-bot as well has some. There were a lot of members that had many world instruments. How about the percussion dude, kinda hippie type. dB would remember who I'm talking about. He had a ton of stuff. I have several.

I think Col. Sanders might be able to get us some unusual stuff as well being in NZ.

I know I have access to many different players around here as well. And as I stated, a huge sample library of world instruments as well as a few real ones.

I would ave to track down or buy a video recorder, but yeah, sounds cool.

when zis takin place?

Hue: Hanger 18 is a great song. Could be a tad hard to do it justice though.
especially the leads.

Sabbath songs are always good covers.

might be able to rustle up a didgeridoo player from round here.

Didge and Sabbath? now there's a combo.

Deon, Didge would be wonderful. I know a local player but he is normally out and about and not easy to track down. Besides local player there would be real.

And Hue, Supernaut them wise would be a cool formula to follow with an original.

I was just re-reading all the posts and it struck me with that. I've got to take a listen to it tomorrow and maybe start out an idea of sorts. anyone else feel free if you have a scratch idea started.

i was thinking, to be able to get more people doing something at the same time, you could do multpile harmonies in spots, each person doing their allocated part.

i really dig harmonies, especially double or triple layered on all notes, using a different dude or dudette each time.
great contrast. If the song calls for it.

I guess those involved would post their ideas in their profiles, and we'll sort through the lot as we go.

I've got a few ideas that I've been holding onto a while now, one or two of those may fit well for this.

I'd like to see everyone assembled for this project prior to the 'start', so that we can know which peeps to look at for parts. There should be some toleration of late-comers for this, as well though.

Since there will be some assembly required, I propose Noize to be the assembler. As he does have the most experience with these types of projects, and is in my eyes, quite objective. Not to mention, the obvious 'skill-based' reasons. = )

How can we get more HRCers to jump on board this amazing, musical-opportunity???

i would say threaten them with violence...usually works for most, for the hard nuts though, hugs and kisses never fails.

seriously though, i guess it depends on how many you need.
maybe start a dedicated thread.

i agree though with the latecomers thing, if tis not rushed into too quick also, it gives plenty of time to reel in the idea properly, and add touches of cleverness.

I have an idea to get the ball rolling.

Folks with a completed song (or almost complete, just one you are willing to give up control of) record just one instrument and submit it. When all submissions are in we can vote which one to proceed with.

We can then delegate tasks (drums, bass, guitars, ambience, keys, flute!) and simply pass everything along to the mix master who would keep an updated song posted.

Just a thought.

I really want to get coolo on board as listening to The KLF - White Room this weekend gave me some very cool idea's. But we would need his MC skill's in several places. I'm in the process of trying to clear a truckload of samples as well that could be used in this if they fit.

Oh snap. I have disregarded this thread until Hue put me on. If Noize wants me to participate, well who am I to say no!

What I can do. MC. Sing back up. Play congas pretty decently. Maybe some peruvian pan pipe? Synth (though Noize would prolly be better than me at this). I have an assortment of noise makers that might be interesting (slide whistle, tin whistle, guiro, tamborine, duck call, etc....)

I don't really have a video camera, but maybe the video from my digital camera will suffice?

I'm down with an original piece. I saw the video Rob posted on PBS about 6 months ago.

Thanx coolo, I was hoping you would be in. And ya, I'm not equipped for fancy video either, but do have access to good video camera if we really need it. I think most digi's though these days can shoot pretty fair video so that may be most folks best bet.

Hue, I am thinking that having the went edit video might work out well. My thought is he might be a tad more creative then I as well. But in Vegas I can toss in as many video tracks layers as I want and edit that way as well.

Deon, I do have several good didge sample's but they won't compete with the real thing if you can get that. I have an old piece I did for Roland years ago that I'll put up with a Didge in it that might give an idea as well. I'll try and get it this weekend. It was for the Roland Proteus 3 (World) synth which has some prety but kickin samples of world instruments.

I was down and out yesterday, I thought I would get around to it but ended up sleeping.

Wife is taking in a movie and bingo tonight which leaves me and the kid several hours to do some tracks.

My two year old was watching us beat box the other day (joking around) and started doing a simple beat with a "bap bap pbbbtttt", she does it in time but the pbbbtttt sends spit flying. Very funny yet so awesome to hear as a dad :)

And on the filming thing.

I'm not sure that it matters if its inside or outside for us. I'll probably be doing inside as well. Since that is were 95% of my stuff is done. Outside would be cool as well. Maybe I'll set up a drum kit on the roof.

Oh, sweet! So it's kinda like a collage...only musically. Well, maybe that's not the right word for it since I think this pretty much transcends anything a collage could hope to be!

I'm still sitting on the fence as far as involvement, but if I can find access to a camera, and get the time for it between moving to Iowa and job hunting and all, I'll throw my hat in the ring too.

Keys/synths/bamboo flute here. With the various recording setups and techniques it could be a nightmare to mix, but in a good way. Sounds like fun!

Anyway, if you think you can use me, just gimme a holler. Gotta be something I can provide and give back to HRC. :)

J-bot, you have the idea correct. A musical collage indeed is what I was thinking. Only taking it a bit farther with the video addition to it.

As far as tossing the hat in the ring. The fact is that we can incorporate a 15 second spinet of you on bamboo flute in or 30 second or what not.

That is kind of my point. We know that just with the few of us involved so far we are covering a truck load of possibility there. Now imagine if we double, or triple the number involved. Even if they simply toss in samples, or a lead track or sorts. It all eventually adds up.

So wOOt, again.

Although for many of us that might do the recording indoors you can simply record the track live to video and eliminate the actual video tracks audio and use only the proper audio.

But ya, outdoors it is going to be a lip sync thing for most I'm sure.

Ok, I damn near cried watching the other videos, especially their latest episode, 8. How are we gonna get this started? Should I throw out a bpm? How about 82bpm?

Unfortunately, noize, I'm not coming out this summer for the family thing.

82 BPM should work to start off with for sure. If I can get the one sample I'm after at the moment I will have a cool start.

I'm still debating subject matter. Kinda waitin on Quincysan to get back from Hawaii as I think he had an idea in his head on subject matter. I'm thinking we can find something to go right along with the Play for Change theme. Keeping music and how it keeps us all in one world sort of. Even though we don't all think alike or agree on everything, music is the one thing that keeps us all here somehow.

And ya, that is what completely sucked me in. The emotion of all the music video's and the rest of it just completely reached in and jerked my innards right out and tossed em on the floor here. The first one Rob posted completely blew me away. And as I got farther into the others the thought just kept getting more embedded in my head.

we all have one thing in common around the world, we all love music, its a universal language, no matter who, or where you are, you can relate.

its an understanding thru feeling not linguistics.

Life is music-Music is life, is so correct on so many levels.
we all dance to the same tune and we all die for the same song.

makes me feel closer to my fellow man.

you know what would be cool when the song is written, just to drive that home a bit, have harmonies in different languages behind the main vox.

Oh damn, I recorded a guitar riff last night for this and forgot to post it. It is very moody and slow (a hint of rock), would probably work well as an intro and is simple enough to let many other instruments have their space.

I'm not thinking it was at 82, but now that I have it down I could retrack it pretty quick.

Tripps, don't worry about your BPM matching the 82. I'm only going to use that for the intro and transition's from each segment.

I know we will end up with several different themes going here so I was thinking this could be a collage of sorts.

So nor worries on the BPM.

Just try and make it a nice round number though. :-)

Since I have to save the project with a filename, and there are no females working on this with us, I called the first one "sausage fest" bpm 120 - starts on the 8

The second one is poppier and upbeat. Is called "The Nooners" bpm 82!!! - starts on the 4

Both are under my profile in the "HRC Collab" album and are downloadable. They are simply ideas that could be expanded off if anyone likes them.

Hehe, the 82bpm thing just happened to be about 2bpm faster than I was already playing so I went with it :)

I kinda figured the upbeat would be more fun to do. When everyone replies and if all agree I will go ahead and borrow and acoustic to redo it right (I broke mine). I personally am jealous of who gets to play bass, cause I was hearing fat bass lines while recording the double track.

I did a video take as well but will do a new one in a nicer locale. The ux8 is somewhat mobile, but my buddy has a UX2 (usb powered) that I am gonna borrow and just record to my laptop. Should allow me to record in the old metal chair sitting next to the lake as long as I can do it under 3 hours :)

Ditto on Nooners. I like the peppy but casual feel to it, and I have a Bb key flute that works well and is in tune with the key pretty well. (I have a couple lower key flutes, but they weren't as in tune)

Have to practice the smaller flute though. It's a little harder for me to play hehe. My tone's still a bit airy on it.

I also like the modality of Nooners. Leaves a lot of room for improv and changes to keep things interesting. I can totally see some weaving in and out of different feels and throwing in some bluesy or jazzy vibes now and again. ^^

On the tuning, my guitar was in tune but I usually play that on an acoustic. I think I was being to agressive playing it on electric bending the strings on some chords which results in a few spots that sound not so tuned to me.

So, for the end result, is the length fine? I don't need to add anything, leave it as is and let our dedicated engineer chop it up as he sees fit?

I like 'em both Cap'n, but I think the Nooners-one has the most potential, as well as the the 'upbeatedness' that we're looking to get with this one. I played around with it a bit while at work here... fun arrangement, for sure! It leaves alot of room for interperetation, too.

Hand-percussion should do well with the 'hoppyness' it offers.

Back from Hawaii, I've read bits and pieces of how this thread has progressed since I left. Sounds like things are rolling!!!!!

Yes, Playing for Change sounds like a perfect fit for this project. Recently I was hanging out with my most trusted songwriter buddy. We were disagreeing on politics (he was trying to tell me Fox News has an incredibly liberal bias). The mood was kind of awkward, then we put on Moody Blues Days of Future Passed. Days of Future Passed is an album everyone agrees on, the argument didn't matter any more. I felt like that was somehow significant, and now this Playing for Change project puts a global scope on my personal experience...neat.

I read everything. I play the didgeridoo, as a matter of fact. The didj I have plays a weird G#ish tone. I will need some mic'ing advice. I'm not experienced enough to know; could we bend that G#ish tone to a usable pitch without getting an unnatural sound? That would make things easier.

I am not opposed to going to Lowes for a pvc pipe or two and cutting them to the correct pitch if that's necessary.

Come to think of it...I like the idea of using several different didj's with different harmonic pitches. I definitely want to do that...

It just shows a screen with a 'click to close in 5", then counts down, and then you can close it. No real pressure, just a small mention that it's not freeware.

I would have to bet there's a ton of people that don't pay for it. But, Jason didn't want to punish the people that pay by making it harder to use.

There's even been cracked versions of Reaper floating around. makes you wonder since you can keep using it for free.

There's pitch bending in most software. if you pitch your version of the song up (or down) to G#, then Noize (or whoever mixes this) can pitch your tracks down (or up) to correct pitch again. I know reaper has nice pitch changing, without changing tempo.

In fact the didg can be off slightly and still be made to fit pending on what we can come up with.

That'd be dependent on how your system is set up, i'd figure. If you're using mme drivers, or your soundcard isn't a recording type interface, then you can have much latency.

You may increase or decrease the buffer sizes, if you are able.

Also, you may try asio4all interface driver (google for it). This puts the faster asio protocol to use for generic soundcards.

Otherwise, i've had great latency on my systems w/ R. My audio rig is very low, like 5 ms w/ 256 samples. My laptop w/ US122 is around 7ms.

I was thinking that I would have to knock down the amount of samples.

I have the sound device USBPre. I almost has zero latency. And that is why it's good for Smaartlive. I'll see if taking the samples down to 512 does.

Sorry I've been MIA lately. Been super busy and they blocked the end of the tunnel so there hasn't been any light. I'm still working on a couple things on the promo end of this and trying to get some ties to Play for Change for this.

My son Ray has also sat and listened and watched all of these with me and knows what we are trying to do. He stated he has an idea he will share with me this weekend as well for this. I'm kind of shocked, but at the same time elated that he is showing interest in something musical since he is a budding guitar player and still in the infancy of beginner lesson's.

Tripps, I may have a beat that might work well with coolo on your guitar bit. I'll try and work it out a bit this weekend as I'm off from now until Tuesday.

My opinion

I think we should make a list of who's playing what so we avoid doubled efforts (some will be cool i'm sure). Perhaps a new thread so the instrument list, info and latest upload is at the top.

Also, the nooners is a verse chorus. I would think some sort of cool bridge should be added as well as an intro/outro. I was planning on letting another person cut it up and piece it together how they see fit but could definitely work on a bridge to make a more complete song if yall like.

I have a feeling some things (mostly vocals) will not come about until we hear others efforts and are inspired by them. As Noize said, many contributions here would be awesome.

I think the safe bet at this time would be just jamming around with the riff, when things start fleshing out you will be ready.

Edit: I am all for mailing footage to keep the quality high for the editor. I think I can handle sending one package.

To my knowledge:

We've decided on an original tune that will have a music video similar to the video posted by Rob in his first post. The lyrical content is TBA, but we know that our goal will be to raise awareness for the Playing for Change non-profit. The organization builds schools for children around the world (I'm pretty sure Bono did something for it at one point? Noize is working on establishing a contact with the non-profit; I assume to make sure our vision is cohesive with theirs. Thirteen of us have expressed interest in actively participating.

Logistically, I would like to see a project outline. Deadlines obviously aren't necessary, but a general order would be helpful. I think an FTP site would be a fantastic place to keep an updated copy of the document. I think most have decided on a guitar track by Tripps to outline the piece, but I have yet to hear it.

Anyone want to add to my 1/2 project description?

Go to Cpt's profile. In there under the music tab, you will see the nooner MP3.

So who is going to be the overall engineer in this task?

I suggest that person start a new thread so they can edit info in the intial post, they will also have good knowledge of the goings on to keep it semi-current. We can get our info there and have access to the latest upload (link to ftp).

I believe that Noize has decided to take on this task.

And Yeah, I agree that an mass email should go out to all involved to get everyone up to speed.

I think that noize has stated that he is a little swamped at the moment. So, I guess that he will get to this soon.

I checked out the track! Awesome man! That gives me the feel I had envisioned. Two thumbs up.

Putting a didj on that will be a challenge.

Also a general statement of purpose: I definitely want to be involved vocally. I wrote all the vocal parts on the recording in my profile. I didn't sing or write the first verse, but I wrote and performed the rest. I've got more stuff I should probably get around to uploading too...

I want to try some melodic acapella. I think that might be more fitting than a didj but I'm going to try with the didj too. I can 'Bobby McFerrin' it pretty well. Nothing overpowering or egotisical, but I could get a nice atmospheric piece in there. I do everything by ear and I am not worth a damn when it comes to theory or technical music bits, but I've been told I have a four octave register. I've also been told that's good, but I don't know.

OK, I"ll start a new thread in a bit and post it here as soon as I get the FTP set up with a password that will work, having issues at the moment.

As for doubled efforts on instrument parts. I highly suggest anyone who has not done so go to the PFC web site and watch and listen to the video's. You will note that there are some instances of dual instruments being used. Again the morphing thing can come into play. Blending multiple bass tracks back and forth or even together in some instances can be really cool Same with other instruments, no matter what they are.

Quincysan, as for the Didg thing. Well we do have Deon on board and being in Aus. that puts him right there for Didg players. As well Colonel sanders is back and being in NZ he could as well have access to some Didg players as well.

As it is now, you guys have my email link right here. Feel free to email me so I have your preferred email addy's and I'll drop them into my HRC folder to keep track of who is in with what.

Rob, while high rez mp3 will work I'm thinking 16 bit 44.1 wav would give me less headache. I'll decide shortly after I check how much bandwidth I've sucked up this month so far on my server.

ON the video, I agree that mailing higher quality would work. I'll check and make certain I can do HD or what not. I know Vegas can work in several different formats.

But I'm starting to think we might be better served by having Hue and The Went work the video end for safety sake. I do have access to a local guy that does video so that can work also.

OK, the FTP is up and looks to be working. Quincysan has already emailed me and has the info so he can check it and make sure it is working. I've tried it with IE7, IE8 current rev and Firefox current rev as well as the Powerdesk internal ftp applet. It all worked good.

So as soon as ya all email me to confirm I have good email address for each of ya I will send the ftp info out to ya.

Peace, Luv and Bobby Sherman.

(edit)
Do we want to start the new thread in talking smack or in Music and Composition?

Agreed on the Music & Comp.

Also, my e-mail is in my profile, so just drop me a line.

I have these keyed bamboo flutes:
Top to Bottom:
Bb (Piccolo-ish range)
G (mid-range)
Eb or E (depending on how well I'm pitching up or down on it heh) Which is a lower range flute.

I'll try to get some examples up at some point during this next week to give an idea of pitching and intonation.

I'm primarily on keys usually though, and I don't really play trumpet anymore.

Allrighty then, the new thread in M & C is open and can be had here.

We'll keep this thread going for general chit chat and use the other thread for the detailed stuff I guess.

So far I've only received and email from Quincysan. I need the rest of yer emails to get the ftp info out to ya.
