i havent run this by the "higher-ups" yet, but i plan to soon. perhaps they will weigh in on this thread. i have been wanting to start a compilation on here for a while. pretty much since i first joined. and ONE concept has haunted me the whole time... the telephone game. it's a simple concept. everyone should be pretty familiar with it: one person whispers a message to someone, then they whisper it to the next person, and it keeps going until the end of the chain. at the end, the last person announces the message. then they all inspect just what was said and have a good laugh. well, this is a little different. i think i have most of the procedure worked out. here's what we're gonna do: i am going to compose a track. it's not going to be TOO overdone or saturated. an appropriate source, basically. then when i'm done, i'm going to send the next person a sample pack (zipped folder) and the finished track, so they can create theirs. then when the next person is done, they will do the same (and also send/post me a copy of their finished product). hopefully, this will go fairly smoothly. of course, all submissions will be strung together in order of creation, so as to create (hopefully) a constant shift in the track; melting from one into the next. i'll say this right now: DO NOT join in on this thing if you arent going to do one. im serious. if i dont think you're being productive, or stalling, ill skip you. i dont want this taking eternity, because one person is jerking around. at the same time, dont sacrifice quality for speed. i dont have any way of doing ftp, so unless someone wants to host this thing, it's going to have to be done via email and zebox/mp3.com/etc... webmasters/mods: i would like this to be xlt vibes #6. ummmm, lemme think... is there anything else that needs adressed? any questions, etc. before i start taking names of people interested? |

|
|
ill do the 7th then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahahaha well, lets make sure everyon is clear on stuff before i start taking names. i gotta do the track, too. i just wanna see what reaction im gonna get to this, but you're more than welcome to play our little game here. :) |
||||||||

|
|
ill do it... however i wont be able to do anything next week :( but if theres enough competitors its ok with me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this will take a few weeks just to get started, so (assuming you arent first on the list) it shouldnt conflict with any comps/prior engagements/etc. like teapots radio comp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a cool idea and I'm up for the challenge ,.tho I think it could be very timeconsuming,. if I want to get something right I'mma spend serious time on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, like i said, as llong as you're actually working on it, i dont care if it takes a while... though i think maybe there will be a timeline made up here by me pretty soon. it will take awhile to complete once started (waiting on tracks, arranging, etc.), but im hoping people will realise while doing it that doing a 16 year long track is gonna hurt the flow of the compilation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*puts up hand* .. i'm keen .. sounds like a grand idea. nb: down here we call that game chinese whispers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i figure giving people 2 weeks is good. if a person needs more time, ill give it to them, but i want to know peeps arent sticking it to me like with titsworth's (i think it was his) comp. i am actually intending for this to see the light of day. |
||||||||

|
|
btw: anyone got a suggestion for the subtitle on this one???? "xltronic vibes 6: ...?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
xltvibes vibes 6 : what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know who id like to ask to be on this, if they will... and im sure they know who they are. i encourage anyone and everyone to join in. doesnt have to be long, in fact maybe shorter pieces are they way to go on this. id like to get as many people on here as possible in 80 minutes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahahahahah |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha .. ;P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think xlt should start up a xlt rhythm vol. 1-33 series |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that might be appropriate for this, any higher ups who might read this. this would make a rockin' cristening of some new branch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll play your game, you rogue... Lemme know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahahahhahaah "you sometimes drink champagne from this..." "what is a leather glove?!??!!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, im going to go try and start this track, so that when the time comes, im not holding it up. anyway. any questions, suggestions, comments, etc... feel free to email me about them or post on here. we'll all work this thing out to the best way of functioning for everyone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah cool, im in bro... how many mp3s and files are we looking at here??? i dont have a huge amount of room on my ftp, but ill host what i can... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, im hoping to make this thing cd length, so 80 minutes at the longest. you wont have to host the packs, those peeps can make, send and dispose of on their own (plus it'll keep in mysterious; ie: the only person other than me who should hear my track before its done is whoever is next in line, etc.) basically, its for their convenience. me, i have no prob doing this all email and zebox, but i know some people will complain, or will need us to work around it. anyway, thanks for the offer of help. ill keep everyone posted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm in..if you want but it's gonna take a while downloading and uploading the sample zips on my 56k.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll do 'er. that is...if you'll have an outcast gang member like myself. *sniff* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahahaha ambsace, id be happy to have ya! Q4Z2X: its fine. not a problem. ill probably do more fact-finding on who is in this thing, and have the people with 56k connections going near the end (if this is acceptable to all parties), basically to keep momentum going and everyone working. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i shall participate! >:D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok. just so everyone is clear here, i am going to have you guys fill out this simple form (in it's entirety) and email it to me. do NOT post it here. compliance with this will help me to organise this thing more fluidly. it's relatively painless. ;) * nickname on xltronic: * artist name: * email addy you wish to be contacted through: * internet connection speed: * a few short questions 1) can your mail client handle the transfer of large files? 2) list any/all URL's i should know about (zebox/mp3.com/etc.) 3) do you have ftp capabilities? 4) do you forsee any difficulties on your part in participating in this project? (time constraints, cpu problems, etc.) i appreciate you guys filling this out. i am looking to make this thing simple and fun for everybody, but i need your help in this matter, considering some of the unusual tasks this project entails. thank you, and i'll keep you all posted as thing become more concrete. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is probably better i go near the end, because after i get done with the track it wont resemble music really! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dingdong youve got mail |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i sent it too.. you should have the people arranged in a way so that the songs on the cd get progressively more abstract, like have the artists kind of arranged by strangeness |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm too easy youve got my details tibbar |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there should be something in your inbox. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
run by this, higher-ups.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
call it xltronic phone tag |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like fun.. I'll join.. sent in The Form. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll sign up.. i can't do it know, but i see a lot of time in the future |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm-mm-mmmmm. cordon bleu is nummy. ok, i had some 'net problems the past 36 hours, but i just now recieved my emails... WOW! the response to this has been VERY possitive! i have recieve alot more forms than i anticipated. i hope we can all have alot of fun on this project, and the results should be VERY interesting. kinda like that michael jackson video where those peoples faces morph into one another. hehehe but i digress... i am working on the template track now, and am waiting on the go ahead from the powers that be. hopefully, i can get the participant order and send out my sample pack to contestant numero uno sometime this weekend. i'll keep you all posted. those who submitted forms, you'll get word when i get word. those who haven't, you can still join in. |

infinite amounts of time, perhaps..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what if someone makes a track, and he calls the next member, who records the track as he plays it through the telephone.. and repeat it as much times as we have members. We will then send the noised up track to Aaron Funk, who will make a track out of it and pay us cash for the idea. |

JAroen: it is interesting that you mention this, considering NO ONE is going to do that very thing on this comp, or ill personally show up on their doorstep to beat them with a mallet about the groin area. now that THAT bit of business is out of the way... i have catalogued all of the forms i recieved so far. i have had support on this idea from 2 knights of this here round, and i will be emailing mr. zero personally this very day!!!!! hahaha as you can tell, im pretty psycked about this, and alot of you seem to be too. there seems to be some caution on some members parts, which i understand. its a somewhat lofty idea, and perhaps a bit more grand than the standard compilation. but i digress... there has been concern expressed about the bitrate of soem of the data being degraded as this goes on down the line. let me be a bit more clear on some of the "rules": 1) if everyone works in higher bitrates (above 128k. prefferably 192k, if possible) corruption of data shouldnt be a problem. i might be wrong... does anyone know some cold hard facts on this issue? 2) you CAN make your own sounds/parts from scratch. it is SUGGESTED and RECOMMENDED that you try to make the stuff thats handed to you the meat of the piece, but condiments are nice too. 3) not everyone is working from the same sound packages, as items are added or subtracted from the pieces. for example: a drum track from song A might not even make it to song B. therefore, it cannot possibly make it to song C, as that member "has blinders on" to anyone else's work. thall those things considered, i cant see bitrates becoming deteriorated in any pertinent way. like i said, i might be wrong. if so, someone please speak up on this. anyway, im going to go write phob the "official" plea to sanction this project under thee shield ov thee confederation of XLT! good day... to YOU. |

Sorry, I can't spare the time to do this at the moment, but I'd like to as it's a great idea. I agree with you being strict about the time limit.I'm still pissed off with whoever is holding up the XLT massacre. I'd be even more annoyed had I done something for it and a person after me caused the death of the project... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that sucks, i was really hoping you'd be on it. ah... cest la vie. there will be other projects, my friend. btw: listened to tibbar b-day snooze the other day, still SOOOOO good to trance out to. |
