It is time for yet another fanciful compilation from YOU, the scintilating xltronicommunity! As initiated by the great nobsmuggler this time we're going for a Classical vibe and I will mix the whole thing. Hopefully. Kind of. What are we looking for this time? Basic word is classical music. This can mean that you can make your own (modern) classical piece, electronically generated. This can mean that you make a thumping dancetrack, using samples from classical pieces. In short: This means you can make any piece of music that is created electronically and is in some way related to the classical music we all love (or, god forbid, hate!). Yes! That is pretty broad! But that's music for you, I guess. We're striving for a mix that will be under 80 minutes, conforming to the usual length of cd-r's. If we receive tracks in total length more than 80 minutes, a small and secret panel of xlt-members will select the appropriate tracks - so don't be disappointed if your track isn't selected.. BASIC RULES & INFO: You can make any piece of music that is created electronically and is in some way related to the classical music we all love. Tracks can be submitted in just about any form but try to keep the soundquality as high as possible - so if you're submitting a mp3 make the quality/bitrate as high as possible - I have DSL so it's no problem, for me at least. Tracks can be e-mailed to me: qrterATtkwsping.nl (also good for any questions, problems, etc!) Tracks can be offered to me through slsk - my slsk-nick is quite amazingly qrter.. A link in this thread to a server wiv your track onnit is ofcourse also great! ENDDATE: Sunday 25th of July good luck! |

good luck! |

I'll submit something if this doesn't end earlier than the next couple months... something quite grand indeed, with a very good possibility of having a real orchestra backing it up... but might not be within that time frame that I can get quality samples with them |

if only those miroslav thingies came through downloading :( im waiting for weeks ah, yay, the woodwind and brass i finally got, now only the solo instruments left and the installation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds good.. but I have to keep a kind of taut deadline - otherwise people'll push it to the back of their heads and nothing will get done!!! WHICH WOULD BE DISASTROUS!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How long do i have? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh ok i read the end of the first post. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like a smashing idea, qrter! i'll get to work as soon as possibly possible! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have not forgotten this =) and im looking forward to it (i havnt done shit yet) the deadline seems fine, i cant promise that i will have a track ready thou =/ i can never promise, sometimes im in a dead hole or something and i cant make any music at all nomather how hard i try, but im sure that wont happen =D good day! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im up for it....lemme find a good one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
electronic? hmmm. I mean, my piece is sequenced, but other then that, its meant to be a chamber piece... no electronics at all. I was kind of hoping it would be meant as a(n) chamber/orchestral comp... but if it isnt... I want to submit a different piece... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it can be sequenced - that would qualify as the track being made electronically. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... I was just hoping they would all be chamber/orchestral. I think that would be cool... a change. oh well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want to leave it up to people. I hate too many restrictions myself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
restriction breeds creativity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm on the case :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey i should have been on that list too... oh well, count me in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for some - you can impose your own restrictions if that helps you! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm getting right on this. this'll be a great comp! |

As my presence here (and my ability to UL to zebox/use SS etc.) will be sporadic for the immediate future, don't count me in for certain, but I will try to get something in for this. What's your prefered method of submission, email, via AIM, Via MSN, Wire.fm, zebox.com? |
||||||||

BAM! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
not to be a pain or anything... but how are we defining classical? Literally classical.... or a catch all term for chamber/orchestral music? just curious... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think we should define it for ourselves... be it broad (everything with "classical" instruments, ie chamber/orchestral) or narrow (mozart/haydn/beethoven). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but they are also saying it can include electronics. I dunno... its just not very clearly defined I dont think. if its a dance track, with a piano, and violin...does it qualify? instrumentation doesnt nessasarilly dictate style. and I think, if there is no true defined style, and you can use electronic sounds as well... its just very very hazy on what the standards are for the comp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why would anyone want to dictate a "style"? why would there have to be a "standard"? there is a concept which everyone can interpret individually, that's what makes this interesting imo. qrter gives us "classical"... and that's all. let's go ahead and see what everyones personal view is with that given concept/idea/whatever. hell, maybe i'll even make a electronic sonata, so just a classical (more THE classical) form... no violin or trumpet whatsoever. we'll see. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's clear to me. It must use classical instruments. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im in |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I mean, when you say "lets have a dnb comp" its rather clear. the comp will have a general adhesive element, because everyone here knows what dnb is. but when you take a term like classical (which is so open anyways... do we mean the true classical style, or as a catch all for chamber/orchestral music of any time period and style) and then say that it can be electronic... to me, there is nothing that would relate any of these tracks together, to truely make it a "themed" compilation. why call it a classical compilation, if the result does not relate to the title. sure, if you want everyone to just interpert it on thier own, fine... but I doubt there will be much consistancy in the tracks, and not even good enough cause to name the comp "the classical vibes" see what Im saying? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri: highest quality possible please! you can find me on slsk under qrter but you can mail me the track too - although I think there might be a max to how large the file can be.. easiest, but certainly not given for all, is to upload it somewhere so I can, um, download it. :) but I see you already have some kind of deal with giginger? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..which is exactly why I didn't want to partake in something like a "dnb" comp. there have been comps before that were even looser than this one (Pomme's "pillow" vibes for example). my definition would be that most (if not all) samples used be of classical instruments. I'm not defining style because I can't ask that - there will only be a tiny group that has the necessary musical knowledge to pull off a classically styled piece. and I'm not in that group! :P that said, if you do have that knowledge and want to use it - great! chances that your track will be on the comp increase a lot, I think. I really can't get worried about this - but we will probably get more than 80 minutes and then we will choose a definitive line to follow with the comp BUT.. the clearer the connection to classical music/instruments in your track, the higher your chance of inclusion. so if it's a thumping dance-track with a violin peep every minute, that probably won't get in.. I do rather want an offbeat Vibes, if at all possible. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alrighty. that clears it up. thanks :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although i'm not really getting what this is all about - I'M IN... like always :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can i do a piano track? If not i will try something else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
almost finished with my track. it'll probably be ready tomorrow. i hope it has enough "classical" elements in it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have an older track where the melody is all strings. i also have some classical-style pieces i made way back when. i'll put the one with drums up first. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alright here it is. e-mail me when you got it so i can take it down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess so..! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and the official title of this Vibes will most probably be "Land o' Classical Gas" - taken from the Pixies song "Planet of sound". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gas fits your avatar perfectly. |
||||||||

Can I play? :(((((((((((((( |

I had one of those moments last night where you wake up with a good idea. I'm so pleased I rubbed my head. |
