OLD THREAD/ARCHIVE:
>>61401279
Hey /mu/tants. I'm lonely, a bit drunk, and have a shitty studio to myself, last night i started making an album for /mu/ as a little bit of a challenge to myself and also, hey, to give back to the community, you know? I'm a multi-instrumentalist, and in the studio with my right now I have an electronic drum-set, a guitar, a shit-ton of effects pedals, a bass, and an old casio keyboard from the 80s. You guys decide song names/themes. Are you feeling feelsy? gimme a song-title that fits into what you're going through, and I'll write some lyrics and some musak that'll fit. I write mostly psychedelic rock, kinda in between tame impala and mac demarco. I'm not gonna be a faggot and do "rolls" for shit, if you gimme a good or funny or neat or sad idea, I'll work with it, upload it, and you'll have your song.
Last night we got 5-songs in. You Anons decided the album should be in the "Mac Demarco" style of jangle-pop dreamy psychedelia. The thread had to come to a close as my headphones broke, but alas, I'm here with new headphones and ready to rock. Here's the album in it's current glory:

bump. lets make the rest of the most fire indie album of all 2k16
>>61412731
just came up with this riff.
gonna be posting loads of vocaroos itt
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0TDBBuq7fQn
>>61412774
another riff
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1GkRdR1l2xe
>>61412677
I thought it was the jack?
Also write a song about being alone in a post-apocalypse world.
>>61412950
i was drunk last night. fixed the problem this morning :p
i dont really know how to make that into the style of the rest of the album desu
Make an indie ballad over harsh noise like sufjan mixed with clippings
>>61413019
i'm doing mostly live instrumentation, my production skills are ass
>>61413007
You're Artchan, you can make it work. I believe in you.
A boy looks into his back pack at elementary school and sees the events of his life unfold In a very brief time (the span of the song)
>>61413159
sheeeeeeit thats a golden idea!!
major key? Like sorta a curious thing? or minor key and sad? I dont think everything has to be sad, I kinda like the idea of it being almost happy and neat for the kid.
>>61413209
Yes very happy. In my head its almost like a nursery rhyme, very tonal. But its your song bro you're the genius!!!
>>61413007
Just do it like DeMarco's newer keyboard based stuff
>>61413237
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1B5NOEioTuW
thoughts for this for the chorus??
>>61413253
actually, yeah now that I think of it i can do something neat with my keyboard. I'll work on it after the backpack song
>>61413279
Brilliant! What do you plan on for the rest of the song?
>>61413333
working on a verse now!! keep thread alive plox :)
>>61413380
Noice noice noice. I can't be believe how well this whole thing is coming together!!!
>>61413057
https://clyp.it/dovurfev
here's a noise track for you by me
>>61413380
SORRY ABOUT DISSAPEARING M80S, THE NHL WINTER CLASSIC IS ON AND I HAD TO CATCH THE FIRST PERIOD. BACKPACK SONG ALMOST DONE. HERE'S THE QUESTION THOUGH. SHOULD I DO A KEYBOARD TRACK IN A VINTAGEY SYNTH STYLE, OR KEEP IT SYNTHLESS??? YOU DECIDEEEE
>>61414055
bumpppp
>>61414055
Synth for dreamlike quality pls
>>61412677
do a song about the best ice cream you had
>>61414261
okie dokie famarino
here's a sneak peak recorded shittily of what it'll soundlike. I put my headphones up to my mic to record this so don't judge the final quality based on it
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1zHcDJzLIBc
>>61414307
I like this idea, too. I'll do it after the backpack song I'm working on now. should it be a love song? a summer vibing song? a nostalgic song?
>>61414378
a summer song sounds good with some dreampop elements to it
>>61414378
>>61414409
^seconding this
>>61414491
kk nice
TRACK UPLOADING NOW
>>61414784
the backpack??? hypeee
>>61414858
HERE IT IS, BRO
BACKPAC SONG UP NOW
GONNA GO GET FOOD. KEEP THREAD BUMPED.
Also this might just be one of the best sogns I've ever written. This is really fucking good.
I called it "working out fine"
https://ringostarwars.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-mutants
>>61414956
Also if anybody is any good at making album album artwork, lemme know and I'll use it.
>>61414858
>>61413422
bump. what do you think, anon?
>>61415064
gimmie a minute im watchin the hockey game aha
its end of period now
>>61414978
What kind of art do you want?
>>61415108
>>61415108
Something artsy. The one I've got was made as a joke by another anon. Also put the artist name as "Frank Sriracha" 4 shits and giggles. Think 70s-90s summery vibes. We've got a whole team effort thing going on here, I love it
>>61415064
>I see everything working out fine
>I see heartbreak
>I see day break
so nice
Also how do you get that distant sound on the guitar? it sounds like its under water but in a good way
You should write a song about Death, where he comes to you one night, but instead of coming to kill you, he just wants to hang out with you and order pizza as you watch a movie, then leave
>>61415276
I'm using old really shitty gear. My guitar is pic related, a 1957 silvertone hollowbody. I'm using a vox reverb/chorus pedal through a 1975 fender champ tube amplifier. Basically the chorus and reverb are what give it that vintage sound, yknow?
>>61415325
that's actually a hilarious idea. Taking a little break for hockey, but hell yeah that's a great idea.
Make a song about when you wanted to write a song of socio-economic importance but all she wanted was another love song.
>>61415108
You workin on something anon?? I'm breaking from music to watch the game, but can still do stuff like update bandcamp and arts and stuff
Just changed the bandcamp name to Frank Sriracha. The links remain the same.
>>61415719
Sounds a lot like the big band singer "Frank Sinatra"
>>61415801
That's uh
that's what I wsa going for, matey
Hey this is actually some pretty good stuff, you have talent. You should write a (somewhat humorous) song about how my parents left to go to walmart 3 years ago and never came back
>>61415971
BOTH OF THEM??? damn dude that's rough! thanks for the compliments brosef
looking through wikimedia for potential album art pictures.
How are u artchan
>>61415598
I might have something soon-ish
>>61416397
I'm doing good, senpai.
What do you think of this album art?
Also go habs go
>>61416449
It suites the album much better!!
imma make a few different versions for you ( you dont gotta use em)
>>61416449
change the color and font of the name and you're good to go
A song about a man who can talk to people and be sociable because he feels like a new person but he freaks out when he brings people back home because he feels like the anxiety ridden man he always was.
>>61416449
post the pic without the name and I'll see what I can whip up
>>61416449
>>61416972
be sure to download it. I made the album free for you guys and so far nobody has downloaded it.
No need to pay for it, though any ammount that's paid will be put either to charity (paying my rent which I'm already late on) or used to buying better recording equipment
>>61417472
THAT SHIT IS DOPE. I LOVE THAT.
a song with all the guitar pedals, a really fast drum beat, heavy bass, swirly keyboard, and beach boyish vocal harmonies please haha.
>>61417564
>that shit is dope
Thank you! I do it with my album covers too
ALRIGHT I'M STARTING SONG 7. WHAT SHOULD IT BE ABOUT FRIENDS.
>>61417668
dude that psychedelic look is cool as hell.
>>61415325
i like this one, i think immah use it for the next track.
>>61417933
vump
>>61417933
>>61418028
hey give me a minute ill give you a song idea.
A man meets a beautiful girl at a hockey game through a mutual friend, they hit it off and have great conversation, but when he takes her back to his house, he hits his hip on the coffee table and his entire body shatters into a million pieces
"I don't know if its the ice
But you look awful nice"
>>61418096
This is so fucking good
>>61418096
using this for next track. brilliant.
>>61418884
Hey this is cool shit, thanks for doing it
>>61419112
Don't mention it dude. Giver a download, it's free for you guys!
Artchan, what about my apocalypse track?
About the girl in your life that you form into a sort of trophy you want to achieve in your head, and the unhealthy frustration that causes you to go out and do things to embarrass her and upset her in some perverse hope that she realises you're doing it because you want her with you.
>>61419227
oh shit totally forgot about that one. Got totally distracted. my bad mang.
>>61419342
I don't know that feel, though anon. I have a GF
"I don't know if it's the ice" is uploading now
>>61419368
So do I, just comes from a time a few years ago when I sent a load of lads to some girls house on her birthday party to cause trouble in the street. Evil as fuck but it was banter an all
Alright anons. It's been fun. it's been an odessy. We've had ups and downs, but in the last 20 hours I've written and recorded 7 songs. I'm emotionally drained.
>>61418096
Here's your song, matey, amazing idea!
https://ringostarwars.bandcamp.com/track/you-look-awfully-nice
EVERYONE ELSE: HERE'S THE ALBUM
https://ringostarwars.bandcamp.com/album/for-the-mutants
Frank Sriracha - For the Mutants
AOTY??? YOU DECIDE. SPREAD IT AROUND. YOU HELPED TO CREATE THIS, ANONS. TELL THE TALE OF BRAVE ARTCHAN, WHO TOLD HIS GIRLFRIEND TO FUCK OFF UNTIL THIS AWFUL, WEIRD LO-FI, DREAMPOP ALBUM WAS DONE.
WAS IT WORTH IT?
HELL FUCKING LESS I LOVE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
ENJOOOOYYYYY
Every song on this album was inspired and written by you anons, LIVE on /mu/

Peace &Love
--Artchan
>>61419616
one last bump
bye folks
OH SHIT ITS BACK UP!!! Sorry I'm late.
Are you here artchan? I'm so sorrry, I went out for a movie. Thank you so much for the song (I was the ice guy and the backpack guy) and I was the guy that got your email for Chicago fire suite
You are really exceptional, I'd even say you have a touch. Stick around and keep coming back here man
>>61419616
legitimately think this is a pretty neat album, good job!
https://ringodeathstarr.bandcamp.com/
>>61422399
Hence why I changed the name lol.
Anyone wondering I'm pretty well done with the album for now, but I wanna do another soon, maybe more shoegaze or psychedelic next time?
welcome back
>>61422593
I would listen
