i just wrote and recorded a song, it's not fully finished, and it only a demo, as four people are going to sing it and there'll be a bunch more instruments.
but would anyone like to hear it? it's very poppy, but i'm really really proud of it. 4 part harmonies ftw.
please?
constructive criticism would be appreciated.
I will listen.
send it over to gossameralbatross1@googlemail.com
or if it's streaming send us the link.
it's shit!
Oh, you want us to listen to it first? LINK PLZ
linkle?
i'm doing a yousendit
thing.
that means everyone can get it, right?
put it on zShare
then we can stream it OR download it or both
do i have to?
yo udon't HAVE to do anything
and certainly not anything I tell you
but there's viruses and shit out there y'know
I just like zShare
well, if you want me to zShare, just for you
then i shall. would you like that?
I'd love it
:)
bosh!

listening
Is anyone resisting the temptation to delete it?
It lets me delete it from this link as well http://www.zshare.net/audio/15618309017673be/
Should you be allowed to delete other people's content, I wonder. The answer is no.
please don't
i need to show the rest of the band!
It's very good by the way
I listened to it a whole four times, partly to try and figure out which elements made it sound good.
(the bit hat sounds like the start of The Universal
and the major to 7th shift on the guitar while maintaining the vocal tone)
;)
<3 for major to 7th shifts
It's nice
a good start
has lots of potential
I hear a couple of more interesting verse melodies than the lead one you've gone for in the first one
perhaps you could develop the melody for the 2nd verse bit which is just instrumental at the moment
and there's room for much more long notes/swells in the chorus which you probably intend to have played by instruments but I think would be nice and euphoric with voice
the 4 part choral bit I think would be better suited to a staccato string quartet arrangement or, better still, some analog synth fake staccato plinks
but that's just me
:)
excellent!
thank you very much. i'll take this on board.
yeh, i'll develop the vocals in the chorus more when i'm not in a full house and have some privacy.
no problem
I look forward to hearing the finished product
also, major love for the Love quote
on your profile. what an inspired lyric.
it's a great lyrical statement
I even used it as a subheading for one of my University dissertation chapters ! (all those years ago)

i just realised how poppy it is, upon listening to it again.
What time is it?
It's poppy time! (I'm downloading it now)
ONE MORE DISCLAIMER!
there's an instrumental bit in the middle because i haven't written that verse yet. it gets better afterwards.
i like the dum de dum dum de dum de dum bit
yeah thats a nice song - not sure it would benefit from having oodles of instruments and vocalists to be honest,a decent production would probably be enough.
i can't do dum dee dums all on my own!
it's written for my band, will probably have violin/penny whistle in it and some ladies singing some bits.
you dee
let the ladies dum - it's all they're good for.
oh my!
the ladies might actually be the singing proper words in the chorus/verses.... i'm sorry to have disappointed you.
Don't you think
the dissers who post music undersell themselves HARD? Yeah, this bits crap, yeah, I did it when I was asleep, and you know full well it is better than quite a lot of other music.
well, i'm not sure
i was just really stoked on looping some harmonies. i've never done that before.
it's better than overselling, i reckon.
It's one of my top 6 pet peeves
Why would anyone with a brain want to hear anything that was..
a) unfinished
2) supposedly crap to begin with, so says the guy who wrote it
d) unfinished and crap
Wait until it's done and then be proud of it. Jings.
a), 2), d)
LOL
It's from Home Alone :D
btw, this is about Jag'rz in general, not about the guy who posted this particular thread.
Listening now and it's quite nice, but not really my thing.
what is your thing?
Loads

it's alright
I see your profile rankings
angular, bubbly and slightly or more than slightly political
neat
Also
just in general
I think it takes a lot of guts to post an unfinished track - not because of the risk of it getting a slating (everyone has different tastes after all) but because of the risk of it just getting ignored
i never said it was crap
i actually said i was rather proud of it.
wanted to see if it was worth developing.
^ see above
Sorry dood.
that's ok, sir
i wasn't angry or owt.
:)
It's lovely
I kinda prefer the verses, but it's ace.
But this is lovely!
It reminds me of the Wave Pictures a little bit, simple and poppy and lovely vocals.
I'm all for some girly dee-ing and dum-ing but don't swamp it with too many other instruments.
it's good
but could do with a few more layers, i reckon you can get that 'Be Here Now' quality over-production if you just put in that little bit more effort.
I like it
this is all :)
also, to clarify the 'Delete Link' thing: you can't delete it unless you have the 'Removal Code' (or unless you complain, I guess). you don't get that code unless it's you that uploaded it. so you can't delete it, unless you're neecho.
