BACK TO BASICS - A four min track of me thumping a pile of books for anyone to add to!!

Right this is a blank canvas for anyone to join in on.

 I'm a bit worried that some people think that they won't be able to do anything "good enough" to put on here.....so if those backing tracks were a bit daunting, here's me thumping a pile of books, which is about as basic as it gets!! I looped it to make it 4 mins long.

  Imagine this as a casual jam.... what you record doesn't have to be perfectly recorded, or perfectly played. Lets just have some fun!!

 This track was was used in the infamous "Bed Warmer Blues"!!!....and I actually bruised my hand doing it, so it would be good to get a bit more back from it!!

   IF YOU WANT TO ADD A TRACK, right click, then choose "save as" to save the THUMP to your computer. Record something along to it then post your track back on here.

  If we get enough tracks I can mix them together...or anyone who wants to can do that once the tracks are up here. We might even be able to make several songs!!

    This is the first discussion I've ever done on here, so PLEASE someone add something, otherwise I'll feel like I've thrown a party and no one has turned up : -/

deja vu...

Right I've put some of the stuff from Penny and bug together with my THUMP...added some words. Just a light hearted thing about us starting off in no particular key!!

   I sang it just to get the idea across, but anyone else is welcome to sing it, and in that gap we need someone to do an instrumental break. Also need people to join in singing on the Choruses!!

    I think the end will fade out, but I haven't done that yet so people can sing along up to where I have.

    I'll also add the files I made that you can loop (not proper loops as such, but you can just copy and paste them) so anyone can play around with them....there will be some more of them when I get round to it!

    This doesn't have to be just one thing...several things could spring up from it. Take it where you like!!

I like this between th notes idea.  I added a couple lead track.  Kind of rough but I had fun doing it.

Attachments:

and one more loop of Penny's boug! 

 Oh and here are the lyrics in case you couldn't hear them. Let me know what you think...I thought it was great late last night, but this morning I'm not so sure : -/

                BETWEEN THE NOTES

                        CHORUS

We're sitting in the corner hiding between the notes X2

You can't join in with a keyboard

You can't join in with a flute

cos we're sitting in the corner hiding between the notes

We're not going to play in a user friendly key X2

We're not going to tune up to DAD

 or even down to GDG

we're floating around between Bb and B!

      CHORUS

So if you want to sing along with us

or if you want to play along with us

record yourself or your CBG

upload it as an mp3

yeah come and join us hiding between the notes

    CHORUS a few more times, then fade out....

Attachments:

found it Be *forehead slap* I'm just a chicken in need of herding.  Yep great start. I'll do some vocal (bleh) tomorrow night.  I think that we need not less musically dense bits in the song...

Called "Between The Notes Idea"..on page three

lol, ah cheers, yeah cool do some vocals. Not less dense..or do you mean less dense??

  I'll add my vocal track here..then I think everything is on here for you to play around with it : -)

Attachments:

Thanks I got distracted tonight taking my own awesome storm pics will be uploading off my phone over night...but promise will sing.

those storms seem to have been going on for ages!!

Between the notes is a pretty cool start! I like it!
