Scratch

I finished the guitar parts for procrastination, All4one, could you just record your vocals while singing along to it so the timing is correct, then upload it? Also whoever's doing the drums, if you could make the drum track.

Then I'll do the final mix, and possibly redo some of the intro bits (because of some crackling), and add a better solo at the end, and we're done.

I liked pinni's music, but it would be more suitable for a game or similar, than for a rock band album in my honest opinion. 

Oh, and if you do the vocals and drums in a week, that would be awesome. Also, try to export it as a .wav .aiff or .flac file, so that it is uncompressed and we have good quality. If you must use m4a or mp3, try to use high quality.

Awesome, don't use a Scratch project though. Use dropbox or mediafire.

Ok then. I just finished my guitar solo and redid the intro, so the song is ready as soon as your vocals and drums are ready 

Unless Neil wants to do some bass for it

I did say weird and inventive. You're lucky I didn't get my little keyboard out if you thought that was strange.
You can build around it can't you? If rock bands like this don't need poncy spaniard guitars or saxophones, or even patternmusic bases, let alone weird little lyig around synthesizers that are playig through five feet of dust caught in the speakers then there's not much I can do.
I tried my hand at songwriting and it didn't turn out well   

If you can't do anything with my patterns then I might as well leave and only get involved anymore when you need a saxophone (they come in handy sometimes). Rock is very very hard on patternmusic.
Not impossible.
But very very hard.
And I'd only end up with a weirder version of what you guys can do with real instruments anyway.
I might get a synthesizer (proper fm one) soon, so if you don't need me now, and I leave until further notice, I'll check again once I have that.   
if I get that.

I spent a long time- the end of my Easter holidays on those patterns, so if you can't tell, I feel a bit put down. 

We could definitely make songs that incorporate both sax and classical guitar - it would sound very much like a King Crimson song.    I haven't yet gotten the chance to listen to your patterns but I will soon for sure.

Meanwhile, I finished the drum track, and I shall work on my vocal track and song demo later on, and hopefully post them on Friday.

I can try, but I won't have my computer until Friday - and that's obviously my main source for uploading. Still, I'll try to find a way to upload it mobilely (I can't find an adverb for 'mobile' in the dictionary  ).

I don't have skype. I don't even have a handy webcam either.
I have one webcam but it's for stop motion animation, and really, it isn't the same thing. It'd be quite funny using that for skype actually come to think of it... Lol. It looks like a ladybird.

I know what you mean about software pieces. It is only meant to back. You can cover it up as much as you like. All you need is to do is replicate the drums.
Apart from that, I do like building  a bridge over the rock/classcal divide.
Saxophones are easy enough to add into something. Just give me a scale and a feel and I can improvise a solo.
If you haven't heard of impro solos, it isn't like *
because the musician made it up as they went along. They did make it up like that. But that makes it the opposite of rubbish. But you'll all know what improv. Solos are like anyway. You're all good musicians.

No can do to skype I'm afraid though. I play kingdoms at war though if that's any help, but it probably isn't. 

Hmm, that sounds pretty interesting. Maybe "Don't Wake Me Up" would be pretty good for that. I added a sort of U2-ish sound to it, and it sounds pretty anthemic. I'll try to record the demo for that soon.

So you can't play an actual bass then?

You can also make sine waves using render tone I think 

But I was hoping this band would be more of the good old rock and roll band rather than the electronic music band...

It sounds awesome. It sounds a little thin though, what do you want me to do for it? I'm writing a 'i want you' style heavy rock thing, with sparse lyrics and heavy riffs. I'll look forward to the drums. Vocals ready at all?
