AnsweredBapu's (and others) random thoughts for the day.

What do you say drew on an FSF colab?
(of course, I have no idea what we are going to do, but you know.....great minds......or was that fools seldom differ? )  

Since we already hab Am bass player and generally "dueling basses" is unnecessary, I could probably only offer a more textural approach on bass or something that fits between the cracks*, depending on the tune. Of course I hab lots of toys capable of producing interesting (and potentially musical) little noises on any number of instruments in pretty much any frequency range from drones to finger cymbals (if I can find them).
 
Do we have a monkey drum player yet? I have one of these:

Hi hi hi I have a "rhythmic frog", so we could make up the mini rhythms

I'm not sure about a drummer (Zargg (Ken) you play the drums roooight?)......I can't see that pic you posted (at work).....is it drum software (or is it a monkey banging on cymbals :)) ?)
 
So far (from the little I know about everyone here):
 
HamNEgz - Keys
Drew - Bass + lots of toys
Bapu - Bass and then some
Ken - Vocals?/Drums?/Guitar?
James - Guitar +_________?
Me - lead guitar
 
Of course, Juan of you (experienced) guys will have to be the producer......

Zargg's got some aqualungs on himself.....

I'd give it a try if asked

I have nowhere to record drums And you should all be glad for no other reason than that, as I am nowhere good enough for anyone else than just the band I'm playing in...

I've completely disregarded that "hot chick" comment (seeing your avatar is bald with a goatee).....and besides, I'm not sure if HamNEgz has planned a world tour with that comment.....
 

Not sure if I'd make it as a chick

Ooops... Sorry if anyone else was waiting for this

Here's a picture of my "rhythmic frog". You drag the stick across its back to make a "ribbit" sound, or strike it for rhythm.

My brother brought me this from Brasil
 

know, tops 2 ewe
 
well we could use sum loopz or midi patterns and a drum vst,
 
its been a while since i did a collaboration and we used sum kinda file share/drop box  to move the file about
there is supposedly some kind of live collaboration software out now but dont know enough about it
 
maybe before all of this pick a cover to do and agree on it 

A "monkey drum" is probably something you have seen (perhaps as a kid) but don't remember or didn't know the name.
 
It's sort of a little 2 sided drum on a popsicle stick with 2 little strings with beads on each side so that if you turn the stick the beads beat the drum heads.

Nice!
 
I have quite a few percussion toys* (it was a phase), but I don't have a frog. 
 
*Technically I suppose many of them are not toys. At least not according to percussion players.

That dropbox (free version) works really well.....just put your (bounced) tracks into dropbox and the producer will do the rest.....(that's what us Forum Monkeys use ). Drum vst sounds good to me......MM, are you going to be the producer? (ewe gotz da mad Cra$hDawg skillz yo)
 
The song should be something the vocalist (Ken) is comfortable and would enjoy singing roooight?
 
What do you think of Bohemian Rhapsody (acapella)?

I like a challenge as much as anyone (as long as it doesn't include manual labour I've done my share..), so I'll try anything (if so chosen to do vocals), and like a variety of songs / styles. But no Bohemian Rhapsody, please

I've actually been spending the afternoon pondering what a monkey drum processed through a modular synth might produce. Particularly when patched into the Input of my resonator module set to "Modal resonator" mode and tuned to the Am.
 
It might be a late night tonight.

Good on da drop box, I am not sure about the producers hat though, my feelings wood knot be hurt if some one else wants to captain that ship


agree on something Ken would feel good with, Ill start thinking about possible tunes and probably PM him and we can exchange thoughts on the tune and keys.
 
I would like to create a basic scratch tune to convey the idea arrangement etc and then we deconstruct it and build it

I must say that I feel a bit proud to be included in this After all I Am me
PM away, Joe

Thank you, Ken, for considering this venture, I have some projects(non musical) on my plate and as soon as I get a handle on those I i will start the exchanges and see what kind of happy medium we can come up with, most of all I want us all to have fun with it !

I couldn't help but notice that you don't have a manager, so I'll be happy to take that position.  I'd love to get paid for not doing anything. 

This could be fun.  I'm in for some guitar and a bit of synth if necessary.

One forum under a groove, gettin' down just for the funk of it?
 

I've done a cover of that in my dim and distant past

It was dim because you had your cool shades on and just getting down for the funk of it....rooight?
 
I agree, this can be a fun project......an instance where the internet can come to a good use.....people from different parts of the world working on a creative project. Very cool....
 
Any songs you have in mind James?
 
 

Ok Ken, we got your wardrobe ready and took the liberty of getting a few sizes smaller (so you can hit the high notes during the chorus). You're welcome.
 
 

 

 

Oh my gosh!

Could it be?
 

That you guys left me...
 

A Friday TOTP!!!
 

Back on top where I belong.  A good start to the weekend. 

Welcome back on top

It's like King of the Mountain (of dung).

Right on Baps!!

Been thinking about what song we could do and I might be on my own island here, but what do you guys think of doing our version of "I heard it through the grape vine"? (there's a little something for everyone)
 
 
I liked this version:
 

 
 
and really loved the Bass like this:
 

 
 

In the meantime..finally...new Nettlesmith song over at Songs...

That juan works for me.

just popped in to see what condition my condition was in and
 
I like grapevine     if Kens pipes are into it
 
I have no qualms with Bapus ears and hands being the producer
 
I guess the version we do will be the thing so on second thought a scratch version might "lock it in" too much unless its real simples, I am thinking the rhythm tracks first skratch vokals then the icing with keys/guitars/vuvelza/ BU vokals
 
Ill listen to the utube  that was posted to get an idea
 
this is giving we excitement
 
 

George, is we-ing all over it now!!

bapu
George, is we-ing all over it now!!

OH my Cher' like gumbo over white rice wid dem little shrimps in it too, yea

I wuz gonna say this is giving me wood
 
 
but this is a family show

Excellent!!
If can Ken and James also likes this, I think we can have a lot of fun with this!! There's a lot of room to make it jazzy/snazzy/flashy and of course, funkaaaaay!! :))
 
 

I am already thinking about the keyboard parts..
A wurlitizer patch for comping
 
and a B3 for the pads, heck I may load the stems onto a laptop and bring it to to my studio where my 1930s A/V and Leslie 147 reside miking it up, of course, and record the  organ tracks with it
 
otherwise my Hammond SK2 and motion sound , I am already running parts thru in my head

And, since nobody said no to my offer, I'll just stay here and manage things.  Right now I've managed to make a cool dinner by combining Kraft Mac & Cheese, with a can of Spam (sliced, blackened, then cut up), a bag of frozen peas and (naturally!) several slices of becan broken into small pieces.  Makes four meals for me and I like to add some extra cheese to the top after it's on my plate!  Yummm!!!

Sounds...delightful....
 
I think you need some of this.
 

I'm up for doing "I heard it through the great grapevine". It's a song I know from before, so it would (hopefully) be something I could do 
Never (except once before) done something like this Cool!

As the producer, I'll have exactly juan goal.
 
Make every juan louder than every juan else.

As the manager, I'll have many goals.
 
Naturally, I won't convey any of them clearly (or at all) and some will contradict each other...
 
GO TEAM!!!

Did I tell you the name of the game, boys?
I call it "Riding the Gravy Train." 

Does anyone know what craigb is up to?
 
Ever since he joined management everything he says gets sent to my brain's spam folder.
