Ok, I think I may have mentioned this before, but I can't remember what people thought of it. The basic idea is one single acoustic instrument several times: you play with yourself (naughty boy). Each line recorded should be a different melody (though notes may, of course, overlap at times), and you should have at least three lines (though not necessarily all the time). Percussive elements needn't be from this one instrument, but it'd make it all a bit more interesting. Also, since some or most of us don't necessarily have real acoustic instruments, you're allowed to use synths with the restriction that it sounds like or is supposed to sound like an acoustic instrument. To illustrate: I did a track for three pianos a while back , which, if it were to be played live, would require three piano players on three different pianos. I'm also working on another one, but it's got more of a.. rough feel to it, and I don't know what it'll turn out like in the end. Anyone up for it? |

i hate to be rude but .. every note ON THE BEAT. it's like jazz never happened. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
? This one is out of sync because it's originally one long take without metronome that I just cut together after... I didn't remember exactly what I'd played (it's a loooong take), so I didn't bother re-recording each line.. mostly because I liked the feel it got. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway, the point isn't that song, but rather if people are up for it. I'd love to hear some more compositions with the same idea, and the more diverse the instruments, the better! Maybe I should do one with didgeridoo? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what? the same intrument, 3 different players? at the same time? overlaping melodies? on the same intruments? 3 differrent players?b *head explodes* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
quickly! record it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so we're only allowed to use one vst, but 3 different melodies on top of eachother? or 3 different instances of the vst? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but only if the vst sounds like an acoustical instrument, and it would be better if you actually had an acoustical instrument. Your voice is a good one. |
||||||||

i have no recording equipment unfortunately.. i'll have to use a piano vsti.. will post later today. |

I'd participate but I have no fucking clue what to do. |

record yourself reading three different speeches, add 1 to 2 to 3. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'm thinking of 'line' as one horizontal tracker-like row. I guess you mean a verticle line such as one wav file played to its entireinimininity. So basically have 3 simultaneous melodies? Any rules regarding how similar the melodies are? same tempo, notes, note placement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At least three simultaneous different melodies at some point in the track. Acoustic instrument or at least something that mimics one such. The rest is up to you, dear Noll. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's nothing more than polyphony, as done on just about any piece of music. But I will make something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the restriction is one single instrument guitars aside, there aren't many pieces for only one instrument, and, basically, only one player (just at different times) around. Have you ever heard a song for 8 same-tuned harmonicas with a different melody to each? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can you cheat the sameness by having each seperate melody a different octave? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aren't you just talking about a three-part invention, as Bach wrote? Or even a three-part fugue? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This isn't really that great of an idea to be honest. In fact it sounds like a dumbed down version of a lot of old ideas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no idea + not necessarily. I'd really like it if people used as many melodies as possible at the same time without it getting out of hand: three is the minimum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm gonna use my ultra phasing techniques + mustard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bach once wrote a fugue for eight 'voices'. That's getting to serious headfuck territory. Anyway, I'll make a piece featuring several intertwined melodies on one 'acoustic' instrument (ie a vst emulation of one) :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would be very pleased if the song was made out of three layers of mustard and nothing else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eight different voices performed on the same instrument? the most I could find the last time was seven pianos, which I thought was awesome considering the size of a piano, plus some of the music was truly awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, I'd like people to.. well, I wouldn't really like you to experiment in that "do something that sounds weird" way, but rather in that "you are free to do whatever you want within the limitations" way. In other words, as long as it's the same instrument and three times, do anything you feel like. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..and I'm looking forward to hearing yours: your music usually makes me go "mmmmmmm, feel good." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes just some times I masturbate to your music |
||||||||
|
|

sssshhhhh!!1 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha thank you very much - I'm flattered :D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
sounds a bit pretentious... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your asshole is pretentious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here's mine nothing fancy atm.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
= 4 chords repeated over and over (each cord has 3 notes, ie. there are 3 seperate melodies all playing at exactly the same time intervals) Then I took each seperate melody and made more intricate seperately, then played all simultaneously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i shlikit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh odd track w M w.. getting autechre vibes.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For it to be pretentious I'd have to claim some sort of excellence, especially one the idea isn't worthy of, but I'm just saying that I'm interested in hearing what people make of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds nice! It could somehow end up in the category "cute," as far as that applies to music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha! awesomeness from noll! part of it makes me think of bluegrass or country or something for a second. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe aye.. thanks :) |

Why is your reflection upside down in the concave area of a spoon. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE MAN! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have pondered this question many a time, dear Noll, and I can only tell you what I know from rigorous research: It's magic! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is simultaneous melodies but the first goes only on rows 0,4,8 etc, the 2nd on 1,5,9,etc, etc so the individual notes never play at the same time. Plus I made it suck as a bonus and not really even use the rule of whatever I just said or something. And stuff. Or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Universe: uh oh, I forgot to program what would happen to light reflecting off a concave area of a spoon... um, I'll just make it upside down.. yeah, that'll work I guess. (before that bug was fixed, you would see a swirling purple and black dimension hole. That's how jesus got HIS power) Maybe if you shine a rainbow off the concave area of a spoon the dimension hole can be opened up again somehow. Most likely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, I knocked out a in A minor, although it ends "a piacere", ie on the major chord. Hope you enjoy it, it was fun to compose! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I do this alot with my music currently, but then I add a bunch of stuff over it...usually with guitars and pianos, really tough writing the main melody line, but writing the 2 other accompaniments usually is quicker |

It's damn excellent now. The slight weirdness of the first listen is gone. |

CX: Pretty awesome - reminds me a bit of Eno's Deep Blue Day for the first half: quite relaxing :) w M w : Bad Idea Submission was the dope: like little explosions scattered upon a rolling 8-bit hillside; very neat. 2nd Suck has that clavichord kind of sound; I preferred the first one, although I like the way this one finishes :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe cheers :) yours is good i liked the ending a lot too.. it's slightly weird yeah, sounds like classical guitar mixed with an rpg soundtrack somewhat if that makes any sense.. :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I was pretty pleased with the ending too :D I had ended it after the first "strummed" chord (B7), but thought, no, it's too short, so I extended it and added the coda with the double-syncopated melody in treble and bass, and the little flourish at the end really lends it a baroque feeling! About the RPG soundtrack, all the music I make seems to be tinged with some kind of video game atmosphere/sound! And the irony is, I hardly ever play video games! :D |
