Make a nude-type song.

Thread value TBD

>>18167889
lol'd, nice.

>>18167889
21 it is!

Now, the key in which the song is in. We won't be constricted to a single key, of course, but the next person to post a key or mode decides which key or mode we will base our song around!

>>18167889

>>18167913
C major

>>18167913
F♮

>>18167921
C MAJOR!

Now let's decide what key signature we will be using. The next person to post a legitimate key signature decides it!

E flat

>>18167941

>>18167972
Correct lyrics are simply "The raindrops"

>>18167960
A song at 21 bpm, in C major, in 7/8 time? Sounds legit.

Hmm, how about a chord progression? Next person to post a progression or set of chords in C major decides what we will base our song on.

>>18167999
I - III - VI

>>18168013
C - E - Am

That resolves to A though, not C. Try again, failfag.

I submit C - Dm - Em - Fmaj - G7

>>18168013
C major, E minor, A minor. Wondrous.

Hmmm, how many MIDI instruments will be in this song? Keep it under, say, 12. Next to post it decides.

9

>>18168044
8, each playing individual melodies.

Yep, voicelead 8 lines.... go

>>18168053
9 instruments? Okay!

The next 9 people to post MIDI instruments choose which ones we will use. Double posts do count! We can potentially have 9 Glockenspiels, so try to be original!

Midi screaming

Midi xylophone

appalachian dulcimer

>>18168079
Theremin

midi phone noises

Midi choir.

Midi car crash

midi frog sound

midi triangle

Midi orgasm

OP this thread is win

So far we have:

Xylophone
Dulcimer
Telephone Ring
Choir Aahs
Viola

Unfortunately, there is no triangle. Pic related to whoever decided not to include it.

>>18168184
Vocaloid doesn't count?

midi harp
only playing glissandos

>>18168184
What about midi car crash?

midi tuba

midi turntable scratching

>>18168184

OP, what program are you making this in?

>>18168198

Unfortunately, these are not available.

We need three more now.

>>18167941
There is a difference between key signature and time signature bro! Key is what sharps and flats the key it's played in has, C major has none. So the key sig wouldn't exist. Time sig is what you wanted. Why am I ever bothering :( Forever alone.

>>18168228
midi I LOVE YOU JESUS CHRIST

Why is /mu/ ruining a potentially god tier thread with dumb instruments.

I hate to blame it on summer, but..

>>18168226
Guitar Pro.

Okay, our instrument lineup is as follows:

Xylophone
Dulcimer
Telephone Ring
Choir Aahs
Viola
Tuba
French Horn
Bagpipe
Harpsichord

Sounds great to me! The next person to post will decide the structure of the song. For example:

Intro
Verse
Chorus
Harpsichord solo

etc. Go nuts!

intro
verse
chorus

chorus
choir solo
tuba solo
harpsichord solo

>>18168267
why not harp?!

Anyway, ABCBCCD

bagpipe solo somewhere plox

>>18168266
It's a 21 bpm song in C Major. this thread was doomed from the first post.

>>18168278

At least split the solos up a bit.

>>18168294
We'll write it off as post-rock.

>>18168278
Sounds good!

Now, we have to decide which instruments will play in the verse, in the chorus, in the intro, and, if you would like accompaniment, in the background of the solos. Next poster decides that. All instruments must be included fairly!

intro
verse
chorus
verse
chorus
breakdown w/ hip hop beat
chorus
intro repeated
bagpipe solo to end

>>18168294
Could the OP not make heavy use of 32nd/64ths?

telephone plays all parts except the solo

>>18168307
tuba intro
telephone and choir verses
bagpipes and harpsichord chorus
everything plays at end, a la tubular bells

>>18168307

Dulcimer intro
Telephone Ring accompanies solo Bagpipe
Viola and French Hornare verses
Bagpipe is chorus
Tuba and Harpsichord play verses and chorus

>>18168316
Does this really win?

Please just add a telephone solo.


Please.

>>18168323
>>18168332
Combine these 2, with telephone/choir and Viola/horns playing alternate verses.

Also, Choir ahhs as the background for the harpschicord solo.

tl;dr
So what? Is somebody actually going to have a go at making this?

>>18168338
I think OP should combine these two:
>>18168323
>>18168332
>tuba and dulcimer intro would be genius, actually

>>18168357
>>18168349
combinemind

it's a sign op

also, dulcimer is a much better intro than the fucking tuba.

>>18168357
dulcimer behind Choir solo
xylophone in back of tuba solo.

And now its all covered

aha
ahaha
ahahaha
i love this thread

>>18168357
sounds good to me

>>18168332
>>18168323
>>18168316
I will somehow combine these three ideas.

I see we have a dulcimer/tuba intro. That can be played at our extremely slow 21 BPM tempo and then we can do a tempo change up to something more reasonable for the main song, if you guys would like that. Also, since the verse is using C-Em-Am, next poster decides what chords/notes/articulations/so forth we will use for the intro! Take your time and make something nice, because I'll probably pick the most original/creative piece instead of the first poster. Remember, you're writing for two parts- a tuba and a dulcimer. Begin!

>>18168389
In order to keep that first post about the phone playing every part, have a small ring in the background every beat or something

>>18168399
Thanks for the amazing thread OP, if this comes to fruition it will go down in history.

>>18168399
I will somehow try to incorporate the phone into everything. This should be interesting.

Do I get a solo?

dulcimer strums Cmaj7, Em, E/Bm, F#m7, D, Gmaj7, Cmaj7, Am, G, (Gmaj7, G7)

tuba just plays the bass noted

I will incorporate a phone solo- but, of course, you guys will have to write it!

>>18168445
Sounds good. How about the note durations?

>>18168450
if we're still going by that song structure originally posted, make sure the phone solo is in the same place as that other barrage of solos

>>18168389
Arpeggiate xylophone at 1st, 4th, and 5th on E for the intro, and have an arpeggio a 4th upward kick in over it a few measures in.

>>18168473
Dulcimer and tuba only for the intro, I'm afraid.

>>18168487
have tuba play the lower part and dulicmer play the higher part then

>>18168459
god knows. whatever sounds good. probably like a quarter note for each chord, maybe slightly syncopated. The Gmaj7 and G7 at the end should be playe din quick succession.

>>18168459
Dulcimer strums each chord as a 16th note.
Tuba alternates playing the bass notes as pairs of 2 16th notes and single 8th notes.

e.g.:
Dulcimer: 16 16 16 16 16 16 16
Tuba: 16 16 8 16 16 8

>>18168497
Okay. As a warning, though: at 21 bpm, quarter notes last about 3 seconds each.

>>18168519
fuck it's 21 bpm? faster then

>>18168519
Use 16ths

>>18168536
I figure the intro will be in 21 and then I'll speed it up when the main part begins.

I suggest changing the tempo to around 110bpm

>>18168450
Try to make the Phone solo melancholic and sad

Something poignant and deep

>>18168184
You fucking faggot, midi does have triangles
Channel 10, note 80(G sharp, 2nd octave) and note 81...

>>18168565
It can be symbolic of a deeper need to find true emotional contact - for someone to "answer the phone" the phone rings, and rings, as the writer tries to make that connection, but is never answered, and is left unanswered at the end of the song.

It would work well if the phone was somewhat monotonous and low throughout the entire song.

>>18168607
I think to contrast the monotony of the rest of the song, during the solo, the phone should ring high, in a way that symbolizes something that's insisting; that phone needs you to answer it, and at the end of the solo, it sadly returns to the monotonous.

This sounds like a ton of fun. Is there a decent internet based program where you can create songs? I could at least give this a shot.

Haha, you guys have some great ideas. I've finished the intro chords, and now I'm speeding it up to 110 BPM for the verse. What instruments/notes/chords/articulations/so forths should be used in the verse? Everyone can throw in their ideas, so let's get those creative juices flowing!

>>18168684
rocket fuel and jeff magnum's dildo

>>18168684
I haz an idea. Use electric guitar and skrillex's guitar riffs for teh verse.

>>18168703
>>18168732
fuck
and it was going so well until now

what instruments are tin the verses again

>>18168684
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNWpZ-Y_KvU

make the choir do something like this

>>18168684
what are you using to make this?

>>18168737
That's up to you guys to decide- you guys can completely construct the verse from the ground up, except it must be mainly in C major, 110 bpm, and in 7/8

>>18168743
he said guitar pro i thnk

>>18168684
is it too late to suggest a kettle drum?

>>18168751
>>18168751
lol
WUT

>>18168755
I'm afraid so. The instrumentation is final.

>>18168746
We already have the order/instruments ect. set, no need to change it :).

>>18168767
ok

i don't know much about music theory, but the tuba should use triplets throughout

What kind of beat should our drums have?

>>18168788
Swing!

>>18168788
Sexy ones

>>18168791

>>18168788
techno

>>18168788

Military that transitions into swing that transitions into slowcore outro drumming.

>what we have so far

>>18168788
since its 7/8 at 20bpm you could go for a 4/8+3/8 kind of beat where the 4/8 works like a regular 4/4 and 3/4 works as a transition. venetian snares style.

>>18168788
garage

Haha, looks like this song will have a "swing" feel to it. Still looking for suggestions for the structure of the verse.

>>18168788

Latin drums would be hilarious in this.

>>18168812
y u no approve of my skrillex riffs and electric guitar idea?

>>18168812

20 seconds, stop-and-start patterns, explosive chorus

>>18168812
"light and airy"
>>18168803

>>18168812

Have it start easy and escalate until it explodes into the chorus.

I though it was C Em Am for verses
Viola should play fast arpeggios and go crazy during the Am

>>18168829
this

>>18168812
C Am Cmaj7 A7 Dm7 G7
C Am Cmaj7 A7 Dm7 G7
F G7 F G7 -> to chorus

>>18168835
The verse is set at C-Em-Am, sorry. We can use that in another part of the song if you worked hard on it!
I'm looking for ideas on how we will play C-Em-Am! Arpeggiated viola coming up.

>>18168812
have lemmy of motorhead do guest bass

I highly suggest you use 32nd and 64th notes in 21 bpm for the purpose of clarity.

>>18168850
i havent worked hard at all, but feel free to use it.
for the C Em Am part, make C go moderately fast, Em almost droning and Am crazy fast on the viola.

>>18168835
but this is obviously better! C Em Am should be chorus.

>>18168850
at any point, will you be asking for lyrics?

>>18168891
Nope. This will be instrumental.

>>18168897
still more proper lyrical content that in NMH's songs.

harpsichord should be playing playing full chords with off-beat rhythm

I've done the arpeggio viola thing, guys. It lasts for 4 measures, how many times should I repeat it?

The choir should be all "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH" in some haunting chord just before the chorus kicks in. Also there should be a drop before the chorus.

>everyone talking so much about real instruments
fucking hipsters

How about you include a nice twisty reese bassline :)

>>18168942
Amens all over it!

>>18168933
2 1/2

>>18168940
something diminished

Alright, I have the verse and the pre-chorus all done... But the verse is only drums and a viola. What else should I have playing in there? I'll put in harpsichord playing full chords, any other suggestions?

>>18168986

Choir Aahs and sparse tasteful xylophone.

I gotta go to sleep, OP. Do you use any kind of instant messaging software? I really want to see the end product.

>>18168986

delayed and reverbed arpeggios with the phone sound

>>18168986
telephone, low, monotonous, matching drum beat

>>18168986
the bagpipes should be the main instrument in the verse, it should sound like it's leading the other instruments into the chords

>>18169006
Sorry, I do not. :(

>>18169031
Who needs sleep?

>>18168986
one of the instruments should be panned left playing the opposite rhythm the viola plays, so when the viola is fast make it slow.

>>18168986
the french horn should be just throwing off discordant sounds like man made of macbooks at a pabst blue ribbon distillery

>>18169045
throwing off hipsters, that is

>>18169031
you could put it up on soundcloud?

Or if you upload it here, someone else could just put it up

for example, just make an account if you don't already have one
you could decide the name now so people can save it for later
e.g.

soundcloud.com/mu18167878
soundcloud.com/thesongthatmumade
something like that
or anything else that isn't taken

that way, people can write down the address and when it finally gets uploaded they will still be able to go have a listen even if the thread has died

I am a genius

>>18168986
DONKS

>>18169055
this this this this

Alright, next poster decides the name of the Soundcloud account.

>>18169074

>>18169074

http://soundcloud.com/poopfist

The song will be uploaded there when complete.

poopfist it is I guess...

Also, heres an idea. You could tl;dr summarise everything that was said in this thread. then leave a description of what the song has to be like, and then other people can make their own interpretation of it and send them to you to upload on the same channel
If anyone can be bothered, that is

>>18169097
lol at how fast that account was created

>>18169097
Is that a picture of you?

>>18169108

>venture into /mu/ completely by accident
>this is the first thread I see
>best first impression ever

THIS THREAD NEEDS TO BE ARCHIVED

>>18169116
chill out, it will only become worse

Verse 1 is finished! Any ideas for the chorus?

this is going to be the greatest song ever btw guys

>>18169116
Sadly, you actually got a very bad first impression of /mu/
/mu/'s overall quality is way, way lower than this thread.

>>18169150
catchy phone riff

>>18169150

Call me a liar
Call me insane
Just call me tonight
Just call me tonight
-phone noises-

Give it a funkier beat during the chorus

>>18169150
It should be introspective

we should have someone screaming "I WILL RIP YOUR GUTS OUT" in a solo

phone should, be high, and insistent during the prechorus, with a gradual crescendo.

>>18169150
is there a chord progression for the chorus yet?

>>18168897
should get some /mu/tants to vocaroo some vocals.

>>18169184
>>18169196
FUND IT!

>>18169184
in a solo or a drop, and guts sounds kind of cheesy, something like skrillex did with equinox, the whole CALL 911 NOW scream, but something like, someone shouting/screaming THE POWER OF CHRIST and then repeat that getting quieter and quieter, kinda skipping the christ at the end, and then when it sounds right just COMPELS YOU and before the YOU is even finished someone else, another voice, screaming I FUCKING COMPEL YOU.

Just what came to my head..

>>18169217
>>18169217

dat gay lol like a emo

>>18169217

Meh. It's not a bad idea, but I think for this particular project if there should be vocals it should have to do with large groups of people / togetherness / etc... how, I don't know.

This is potentially the greatest thing /mu/ has collectively done since the original Listen Along threads.

So our idea is a catchy phone riff with a funky beat. Any ideas for chord progressions? Very simple ones would be preferred, 2 or 3 chords. Also, any specific ideas for a catchy phone riff?

>>18169249
C A7 Dm G7

>>18169244
One person could sing it or make the vocals for the draft copy, then get 100 people to send in tracks and layer them shits together

>>18169249
just wondering,how long do you think it will actually take

>>18169257

That's more like it. Submissions should be accepted over the next few days to give people the chance to participate. It would just be figuring out the actual lyrics, and how to deliver them.

>>18169244
not quite

>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk4V7RqWWtg

>>18169257
i feel like this symbolizes the collective creativity of this group, so someone could write lyrics that represent that collective

>>18169272
that is nowhere near as good as the king of carrot flowers

>>18169272

Yeah, but... that's NMH, so minus points. Plus it's a cover. This is totally new and completely off the wall.

>>18169282
it's still something that /mu/ has collectively done together

>>18169278

It would help to hear the music first.

>>18169272
OP here, I actually organized that several weeks ago! I'm glad to see it reposted here.

>>18169257
reminds me of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e-BgnZY5qg

Jean Michel Jarre

What instruments should be playing the chords during the chorus while the phone does its thing? Also ideas for a phone riff would be nice!

>>18169308
definitely viola

>>18169308
this would be a time to use the bagpipes, and the dulcimer should go along with it as well

french horn and tuba tagteam bass

phone riff should be
C6 Bm7 G C7 G C

>>18169294
>>18169294
yeah op that was mad fun, we should do it again sometime.

>song guy confirmed for tripbro

>>18169320
or this yeah that would work

Shit. I need to go to sleep. I really want to see how this pans out. OP - I'll be checking that soundcloud, and hopefully there will be some plans/discussion for the (potential) vocals later tonight/tomorrow morning?

>>18169326
The phone sounds quite bad with chords- single note riffs would be preferred. :)

>>18169308
can we have some mad phone phasing sort of like what is done in pink floyd - sheep? anything that sounds like that

>>18169308
in standard tuning on guitar

>>18169373

>>18169373
actually, forgot it was 7/8, so scratch that last note. or make the 7 5 7 bit on the G string into a triplet to make the time work.

>>18169373

>>18169373
are we still in 7/8 or what?

>>18169419
>>18169397
>herp
sorry didn't see that post. I like the triplet idea, it sounds nice playing it out

>>18169419

see

>>18169397

I forgot for a second.

Just the intro was in 7/8- Sorry guys. I can put in the solos or the outro in 7/8 as well but having the whole song in 7/8 is a bit overkill.

>>18169419

What are some songs in 7/8 for comparison? I know how to count it but I am having trouble completely visualizing something in my head.

Actually, I'll put half of the chorus in 4/4 and the other half in 7/8.

>>18169429
If you have a DAW just make up a basic drum pattern in 7/8 and then play it for a little while. then quickly you get into the flow of it and can write some decent melodies etc

>>18169429
Off the top of my head,
Alice in Chains- Them Bones

>>18169428
OH in that case, make that riff above into 4/4 like how it's written.

Well, this is a project made by /mu/- How would you guys like the time signature to be?

>>18169466
I like 7/8 but it could be awkward for the entire song. maybe throw some 4/4 parts in between bits. I'd like to see what everyone else thinks though

>>18169466
1 bar of 7/8 followed by a bar of 17/8 followed by two bars of 4/4.

7/8 7/8 6/4 4/4

we could have a 6/8 bridge? (are there any bridges?)

IS THE FUCKING SONG DONE YET, CUNTS?

JESUS CHRIST (i love you)

Chorus done- It's 4 bars of 4/4 and 4 bars of 7/8.
Time for verse 2! Verse 1 was in 4/4. Should I change it to 7/8 this time? Should I leave it the same? What should I do?

>>18169466
Have most of the song in 7/8 but then some of it in 14/16

>>18169554
This:
>>18169556

2 bars of 3/4, then 3 bars of 2/4 and then a bar of 7/8

>>18169373
http://vocaroo.com/?media=vXeAVFn4Uc0um5fl8


im a bit rusty this morning

>>18169582
holy shit 5/5

>>18169554

Well, like poetry, with the words rhyming, so should certain other things. Have the verses be the same time signature, things like the bridge, the intro, the solo, those can be in different time signatures, but the verses should be consistent, it's the Melodie that you keep coming back to in your head.

>>18169594
hearing my beautiful riff butchered like that...I'm disappoint. Hey, op, chec out my soundcloud, feel free to steal whatever you want music wise, I don't care. I'm the first guy that started following you, initials NK.

>>18169599
this, with bagpipes playing a slow Dm arpeggio in the background

>>18169678
him being a dick?
Hes trying to contribute something to the thread and people are being huge faggots to him, what do you expect him to act like

>>18169710
Put your name back on.

>>18169710
But yeah, OP. What do you need done next? I'm really glad to help.

It's time for..... Choir solo! Followed by tuba solo! Followed by harpsichord solo! I'm taking ideas for the solos, the background instrumentation, the drums, etc. Tell me what you want this to be like.

>>18169730
remember to keep that phone going in the back ground

>>18169730
What type of choir patch are you using? individual voices that you get to customize the hormony? or the whole group at once singing the same note?

>>18169730
the harpsichord solo should be a in F#minor

>>18169743
It's individual voices, so we can be creative here.

>>18169747
i like this guy

>>18169730
Still C-Major?

>>18169730
What about the phone solo?

>>18169759
For the solos we can break those bonds. You can write them in any key.

>>18169766
Phone solo will be the outro!

>>18169771
Have the dulcimer echoing the choir in the solo.

>>18169730
Harpsichord solo on this chord progression:
F#, Bm, E, A, D, G, F#7, Bm
Then go right into the next solo, in Bm

>>18169730
Harpsichord solo should be a four-handed triplet based idea with both left hands in B minor, one right hand in B major and the other in C# minor.

>>18169774
i think the phone solo should be in D minor, since it's the saddest key to write in

have the song end with

"doo doo da doo doo... doo doo!"

played by all the instruments at once

>>18169771
How about a Chromatic progression downards form F#?
Triplets.

>>18169802
You mean shave and a haircut?
Anyway, I agree to that. Finish with Shave and a Haircut, with a flattened sixth.

swing feel mon

put in a little riff from each of the big 6 /mu/core albums

>>18169753

Hmmm, I suggest a 4 part vocal harmony,

2 parts (or choir sections), one singing the root note and the other singing a 5th above, over the song's base chord progression.

then the other 2 voices will do two things:

one will be a male voice (i'm hoping you have this option) this voice will start on the root note of each chord and proceed upward in the ionian mode of the particular chord you're on, in an alternating 3rds lick. (Ie, 123 234 345 456)

then the Female lead voice will belt out over the top of this the 7th not of the chord you're on, and half way through the duration of that chord, start a vibrato of a half step up from the 7th chord, making the undertonality a major 7th alternating with the 7th, this will have an almost "haunting" feel, and with the male's part, it should sound quite good.

then the second time through the progression, have the male lead's voice do that same thing, but alternating down from an octave higher than his original note, descending in the same patern,

the female's voice should end here belting out a really... powerful note. Idk. I'm spent


where's my cappuccino?

Archive this!

>>18169839
I can do this, but unfortunately, I don't have a gender option for the choir. Honestly, I can't tell whether the voice is male or female.

>>18169849
hmmm ok. Can you have the male voice be c3ish and the female voice be near c5?

Requesting permission to do the vocals

I can sing like a mad cunt.

>>18169868
>>18169868
Do you think you can do that vocal harmony the way I've written it? or maybe add a little twist? I'm a composer, but I aint no singer, so it's really your game there bud.

>>18169868
>>18169878
He already said the song was an instrumental, faggots.

>>18169864
I can do that. I'm not exactly sure how you want this to sound though. If you could send it in the form of notation or tablature or some other way that would be grand.

>>18169868
if you sing, i want to write the lyrics

>>18169884
>>18169884
>implying the voice isn't an instrument.

>>18169878

I can do anything.

>>18169888
Don't start doing things like that, it'll take too long. Just try your best and see what it sounds like, nobody except this faggot will care if you get it wrong.

>>18169904
Say "Quote" at the beginning of the song and "Unquote" at the end

Sorry, but I can't get the choir solo suggestion to sound right- But I'll leave it in anyway. Our failure will bring nostalgia in the future. Any more ideas for the harpsichord and tuba solos?

>>18169939
the tuba should sound ridiculous
hit every note from A2 to A4

>>18169939
Just do them yourself and finish the song, we need to hear this!

>>18169939
the tuba plays a waltz tempo phasing in and out of meter rhythm with the pieces time signature!

the harpsichord should be loaded with trills and other anachronistic ornaments!

>>18169946

Patience, grasshopper.

>>18169888
>>18169888

well, I think the first 2 parts are pretty straight forward.

Ionian mode is basically starting on the first note in the scale.

so if the chord were C major:

E|------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------
D|-----------------------------------------7
A|----------7-----7-8-7-8-10-8-10---------------
E|--8-10----10-----------------------------

also make sure you change key with the chord progression, I know it sounds wierd, but it's harmony.

so if you switch to Em, it would look like

E|------------------------------------
B|------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------
D|-----------------------------------------0
A|----------------0----0-2-0-2-3-2-3-
E|--0-2-3-2-3----3--------------------------


etc.

from there it should be able to see how the descending part goes, keep in mind, those are not the octaves for it to be in, those are just the notes in the progression.

for the female vocal part it should be farely easy

for example if you're on the Cmaj chord

(032010) or something similar. this is on guitar, btw.

D|---8~~~~~~~898989 kind of thing.

I really suck at explaining it through tabs and normal music notation is too hard to type, with ascii code and such.

but I think I've communicated what I need to with this and the last post.

Give me the chords for the choir solo and I'll work it out in standard notation.

I still don't get what rifffag meant by "undertonality", but the rest's simple enough

>>18169815
What the hell is this SHIT. There's no clef, you stemmed the noteheads in the middle, and put an accidental to the upper right of the note.

>>18169976
>>18169976

I didn't mean anything. It's just random music giberish that you really only need to know if you're writing a report at uni or something.

>>18169984

>>18169813

Yep, I meant shave and a haircut.

>>18169993
>It's just random music giberish
Yes.

>that you really only need to know if you're writing a report at uni or something.
No, I've never once encountered that term - explain it and its relevance to your suggestions or I'll continue to regard it as inane gibberish.

>>18170018
It's a bullshit way of saying "the subtle feel of a piece". rather than the general feel.

>>18169839

>then the Female lead voice will belt out over the top of this the 7th not of the chord you're on, and half way through the duration of that chord, start a vibrato of a half step up from the 7th chord, making the undertonality a major 7th alternating with the 7th, this will have an almost "haunting" feel, and with the male's part, it should sound quite good.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

>>18169939
Have any instrument (except the harpsichord) play a counterpoint during the tuba solo. Any counterpoint you like.
And then, compose the harpsichord solo as a variation of that counterpoint.

>>18170051
>It's a bullshit way of saying "the subtle feel of a piece". rather than the general feel.
Kinda like how "vibrato" is an inane way of saying "trill", right?

>>18170076

>>18170235
Because you're music theory knowledge is insuccifent.

>>18170158
trill is with actual notes, i.e 'e-f-e-f', etc whereas vibrato is just vibrating the string subtly to go +/- a few microtones in pitch to give it a humanistic feel

>>18170235
Because you're not funny

ITT: A cool guy who wants to do something fun is surrounded by mad people.

I have the MIDI file all done. I don't know how to convert it to mp3 without making it sound completely bad, and soundcloud will not allow the upload of midi files, of course.

>>18170341
>>18170341
what software are you using?

>>18170360
guitar pro, which only allows me to export as MIDI. I know of several MIDI to mp3 converters, but they completely alter the sound and make the whole thing sound bad.

>>18170341

play it and record with audacity

>>18170379
>>18170379
do you have cubase? or aberton? anything like that?

you can load the midi file there, then export as mp3...

if not then just do the midi to mp3 converter, we've come this far, it'd be a shame to shit out now.

You guys can just download the MIDI for now.

No shit, sherlock.

See post No. >>18169839,
>start a vibrato of a half step up from the 7th chord, making the undertonality a major 7th alternating with the 7th
where rifffag calls a semitone trill upwards "vibrato" - inane.

Op it is beautiful thanks so much.

>That feel when you here your little ideas.

dude that's so good

please do more in the future
