Facepunch Collaborative VII: One More Till An Octave - General

[QUOTE=Trail Mix;33239053]I am of the dubstep/electronica genre[/QUOTE] Theres an edit button too you know

"I do different genre from everyone else" >Does the genre that is pretty much overrepresented on the album If you have the time and like great music, you should check out the previous albums, there is some really, really good music on them.

[QUOTE=Dick Tracy;33239064]"I do different genre from everyone else" >Does the genre that is pretty much overrepresented on the album[/QUOTE] I lent out my bass so I'm kinda stuck to electronic music right now.

[QUOTE=Pepin;33238821]Here is my song. Plan on getting someone to do vocals, a female I believe. There is going to be more, but nothing to show off as of yet. [media]http://soundcloud.com/pepin/the-plane[/media][/QUOTE] I imagine Kate Bush singing over that.

Pepin, your song sounds like music from final fantasy.

Goes and writes orchestral masterpiece, looks for orchestra, and frowns. Actually, I can export songs as a .wav from musescore.

Actually, I can export songs as a .wav from musescore.[/QUOTE] You can actually get some pretty decent Orchestral soundfonts. They aren't going to sound professional, but they sound pretty decent. Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra is one that I have, but there are other alternatives.

I also could write something for piano, and [quote="pepin"]solos. I can also play bass and piano.[/quote] so that's one way I could get something in. [editline]11th November 2011[/editline] Tried getting it, but it's a .torrent, so I have a feeling I'd need to download something else for that. also, I get [url]http://closed.loopia.se/[/url] when attempting to access the website.

I'm pumped for this album.

I'll probably contribute. If my band and I get motivated any time soon, we may well submit a 30+ minute epic. Otherwise I can probably put something together. I love these things.

For those who make longer songs, can't we just cut them up (for instance Hakitas song can be cut at 8:51, at 16:20 again) and place them with about five songs between them? Long songs can be good, but it can also be really tiring for people who are just listening to the album on a whim, quitting on the album before it's over. For instance, Hakita could have song nr 8, song nr 16 and last song with those parts, I think it could be done and that it would be cool to have that sort of thing.

And I thought about the whole 'getting bored and stopping listening to the album halfway through' and thats the exact reason I want it to be the last song. However, if people want it, maybe it could be done so that Prometheus is the first track, Elysium somewhere in the centre and Return To Cygnus is the last song.

Personally I think cutting it up would be better, the parts all stand the test of being lone songs and I just think it would be a 'waste' to have you as the last song, people sadly stop listening too soon and that would mean you'd probably not get as many listens that you deserve. Plus, it would bring a sort of "theme" to the album, with your song being part of the beginning, middle and ending of the album. =)

Well, I suppose you're the one who knows more about music than I do, so if everyone's ok with this, I am too.

Sounds most excellent.

Should I write some jazz or classical for the album?

There's a third neurofunk track coming for this one, most likely in collaboration with killa101.

If you want to release something that clearly should go on a solo album, then do that instead of taking other people's space. That's my opinion. :v: [editline]12th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Dick Tracy;33244535]Personally I think cutting it up would be better, the parts all stand the test of being lone songs and I just think it would be a 'waste' to have you as the last song, people sadly stop listening too soon and that would mean you'd probably not get as many listens that you deserve.

I'll listen to it. :smug:

[QUOTE=cpt.armadillo;33245475]Should I write some jazz or classical for the album?[/QUOTE] Jazz. Always jazz.

There isn't an issue with long songs as most people typically don't listen to the whole song. Also, here are the current stats. [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Image_27.png[/img] 61 downloads on the album.

tbh I think Hakitas 20 minute song might aswell be one whole last thing. Then it won't take up space, and people who listen through all of the album will be way more likely to want to lsiten to it than people jsut lsitening to a couple songs

Here is a big package. [url]http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1200140[/url]

Thanks pepin. I think I'm doing some jazz with only a piano, alto sax, contrabass, and drums in 6/4 time signature.

I'm in

Lets have a vote! Optimistic for 1 song in the end Useful for 3 songs whereever on the album

I'm going to do an interesting song. It's going to start as an orchestral piece and then half way through I shall turn it into heavy metal.

[QUOTE=neos300;33247473]I'm going to do an interesting song. It's going to start as an orchestral piece and then half way through I shall turn it into heavy metal.[/QUOTE] So its basically just heavy metal. Orchestral intros aren't very rare in metal, you know :v:

No, this whole thing about breaking up the songs isn't a good idea as it would give Hakita more exposure than other artists. This is the reason why people can only submit one track. To go further, there isn't any statistical proof from the last album that Kittenhackers or my song had any affect on the amount of listens (we both submitted long songs). This is because people tend to skip or only partially listen to these songs. Look through the statistics [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1122901/8]here[/url] and it'll be pretty clear that the length of the song doesn't matter. If it did, the amount of listens of the song after should be reduced by some irregular figure. To go further, what if someone didn't like the song? They would have to skip it two or three times as opposed to one time if it were just one song. It's one idea to not have the first three-six tracks to be really long, especially because variety would want to be shown with those, but it is another thing to break up the songs. The only affect that would have would be more exposure for people with longer songs, and that would be unfair to other people. I also really dislike the idea of changing someone's music as it is their music.
