LOVEARTH: a new collab project!

LyingDalai · August 2, 2019, 3:12pm

[EDIT]
Here is the current state of the track:

[/EDIT]

————————

So, the previous collab ended pretty well…

Shall we do another one?

Here are the constraints for this collab

Track 1 half-panned left
Track 2 half-panned right
Tracks 3 and 4 center
Drive to 60, release 30
No Master EQ, no master FX
12 people x 30s of sound
128 bpm
your contribution can overlap 5 seconds with the previous entry! So it’s totally ok to “step on” the previous bit a little, if it makes sense musically
share your patches
record on the album the whole track and share it as well
zip the 4 tape tracks, the album side, and your patches and drop the file with order+username in @vehka’s drive

I would like to suggest “lovearth” as main theme, if it can give ideas to the participants…
I’ve been watching Apollo movie with Eno soundtrack lately and I enjoyed being filled with love for this little island of beauty we call Earth…

Who’s in?

@Plainjanefrancis
@Winerz
@Lorddankmemeth
@db9979 ?

Any other operator as well, of course

Here is the ordered list so far:

I‘m in! But since I‘m on vacation, I can’t be one of the first maybe 3 contributors…

Great topic! Thanks for starting this one @LyingDalai !

What’s the BPM this time?

flybry · August 2, 2019, 4:03pm

Me in!

LyingDalai · August 2, 2019, 4:31pm

I suggest that the person designated to start choose the bpm. Unless you have a proposition that fits the theme

motone · August 2, 2019, 6:35pm

I’m in!

vehka · August 2, 2019, 6:39pm

Definitely in!

Just read the original thread, and I think the workflow that we agreed upon was good. Couldn’t think of any improvements, anyway.

TiboDzi · August 2, 2019, 6:56pm

I’m in !

quarantequatre · August 3, 2019, 4:14pm

Sure !

blumquist · August 4, 2019, 11:58am

Don’t be shy guys! Who else wants to participate? Still five slots available.

beefinator · August 4, 2019, 2:54pm

i’m in

anyone else want to consider having tracks 1&2 not hardpanned, just like half left and half right?

also, do we pass on the patch banks? or just master tape? Would be cool for some extra optional continuity

mixrasta · August 4, 2019, 3:18pm

I will contribute to it as well!

LyingDalai · August 4, 2019, 7:56pm

I count 4 free slots !

People, don’t forget to vote for a track name for previous collab

I have a BPM proposition, but not a theme-related one. Since we have 30 seconds per person, why don’t we use a BPM of 128? That way everybody has 16 bars of music. I’m not saying this necessarily makes for better or more interesting collaborations, but perhaps we could try it this one time?

Also, re: @beefinator’s suggestion for panning, works for me!

LyingDalai · August 8, 2019, 11:08am

128 sounds good to me
I’ll write it down together with the panning option in the original post.

Shall we start while waiting for the eventual participants?

vehka · August 8, 2019, 12:48pm

I think we should start already! Just randomize the participation order, unless somebody especially wants to start? Also, we need a Google Drive folder or something to exchange the tape files.

blumquist · August 8, 2019, 8:00pm

Yes, let’s rock! But as I said, I‘m on vacation and took the OP-Z with me, so please make me one of the last in the list.

What is the benefit of the half panning? I think the hard panning makes for a wider sound, so…?

LyingDalai · August 8, 2019, 9:23pm

I’m too preferring hard pan, as you can do half pan with hard pan, but not the other way around.
I don’t think it matters very much, though.

LyingDalai · August 8, 2019, 9:36pm

Operators, here is the result of the randomization:

We’re still missing 2 people, please feel free to join in!

beefinator · August 8, 2019, 11:42pm

Personal preference. I don’t tend to hard-pan stuff, and my own workflow for tracking/recording/dubbing makes it difficult/impossible to double-record stuff to half-pan. Also don’t like the sound of double-tracking a mono thing, when I don’t want the double-tracked image effect

down for whatever in the end

LyingDalai · August 9, 2019, 5:48pm

Ok, I have no real preference, I’m all for trying something different

People please vote for previous collab track name:

I’d love to release it…
