anyone want to sing a few songs for me? pretty PLEASE?!

I have 2 in the can and one in the pipe so far.... techno-pop stuff, but not trite:

the new one(has a vocal melody but no lyrics, will demo a vocal this week though):

and the last one

if you can sing it better than me (which I am sure most people can) then reply... I would love to hear your version.... lyrics are definitely not set in stone

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

now its 3 tunes... I will probably wind up with 9 to 14

Great song! Numan is a bad ass! Have you ever heard Leather Strips remix of Are Friends Electric? Its pretty cool. Great job with the tunes man!

yes... my late wife was a huge laetherstrip fan and I am a huge tubeway fan, so it was something we could agree on prior to the separation!

thanks for the compliments.... I think fellow moderator Nik Farr is going tot ake on singing/lyrics duties for this project.... I have like 3 more songs in the pipeline now. Here's the draft sequence for the latest:

it soudned so good to me with mainly plugins and no ambiance that I posted it to soundcloud.... now the one I am working on in 6/8? not going as smoothly arrangement-wise

any thoughts on things I should change in the arrangements or structures before Nik ahs at is?

sure, why not.

I kinda started working with someone, but it doesn't mean I can't have a different singer or a mix of singers on each track... can you link me to a recorded example of your singing?

are you interested in writing your own lyrics or are you more comfortable just performing?

I don't have any studio records with my voice. But I can do something with your tracks. I don't have a superb voice, but I love to sing.

Btw, I can't see your tracks at soundcloud.

do you have a decent mic and audio interface?

that's odd that you don't see stuff on soundcloud... I get plays all day, so everyone else is seeing them... is it that the embedded stuff on this thread isn't working or duid you go to my profile and fail to see them?

I think Nik is singing, but heres another one:

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

it's ok. I can see the songs now, last time I was behind a firewall, (the good ones).

okay, cool

again:

do you have a decent mic and a way to record?

some of these songs have vocal melodies written as I typically write melody or riffs out and then add the rest... are you cool getting demoes with nonsense vocals singing the notes as written and then making them your own?

do you want to write lyrics? because I don't, every line is a struggle

GEAR:

I have decent mics and ways to record.

I have no problems in writing lyrics, but it would be helpful that you suggest me a topic for every song.

okey doke... I am thinking I could give you a broad topic and a guide vocal to work around and then we can bounce ideas back and forth. With vocals/lyrics I am a better editor than author and performer. All the sogns are vaguely 'about something' or inspired by some life events (I have had an eventful decade right up to being widowed over the summer, so that accounts for the mopey nature of the recent stuff)

my music email address is [email protected]

we can take this collab to email moving forward

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

ok, my email address is [email protected]

I'll get mp3s with and without guide vocals out to you. I need to do guide vocals for most of them still and there are actually even more songs than I've posted so far. They're just not all this developed.

I am hoping to get to scratch vocals and finish the demo for another song today, but so far being a dad on my Friday off is superseding musical concerns. I have however devised a list of band names:

Narrative Device

Funk Monkey

DC Offset

Negative Voltage Supply

Audible Product

Action Film

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

one more
