Just curious if any folks would be interested in doing a Halloween album.

 

We have done a Christmas album every year, and I don't think we want to try to do too much in too short a time.

 

Thoughts?

 

OK, it sounds like we got enough people to proceed.

Halloween Album

Once again, Thomas Boatwright has generously donated the album artwork!! Thanks again Mr. B, we all appreciate your support and generosity!!

The deadline for submissions will be October 15th. That will give us time to get the album created and posted in time for Halloween.

If your name is in red, you have volunteered for a song. If your name is green, you have completed your song and submitted it.

So, the song will be 20 minutes long?

I personally don't care, but you might want to take the resulting file size into consideration (20-25MB?), and think about whether someone is likely to sit and listen to a song that long.

Nobody has ever set a rule or guideline on how long a track can or should be. I guess I would leave it up to you.

People listened to pink floyd albums and opera.
Creativity flows ....
Don't worry it sure ain't booring!!!
I will see how it develops.....

There has to be a first for everything..

This is about to revolutionise Halloween...
Unmissable !!!!"

DAN,,, another    entry  if you please  ;-)   exorcist  mix

Hey Dan I couldnt get the vocals right on that misfits song so hears one i just finished . http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/pihtbulls-halloween-entry im gonna try to do another song so you can pick between the two .

Hey Dan,

Thanks for doing this! A couple questions:

1) Can we submit an "original" composition?

2) What format should the file be in?

3) Where to submit it?         

sorry if these have been asked & I missed.....

NoiseMaker

1) Original compositions are just peachy

2) MP3 seems to be the easiest for most of us to work with.

3) When you have your submission finished, just post the fact that it is ready, and I will send you an email address for you to send it to.

Thanks

Hey, Dan! Put me down for DEAD SOULS by Joy Division. Thanks!
Awright, all you zombies!!! There's only 14 songs officially on the list for this album, and only FOUR have been officially submitted. Yes, I know the deadline's Oct 15, but...getcher Boney arses in gear!!! It's stressful trying to juggle a bunch of last-minute submissions, get 'em EQ'd and balanced, arrange them in some semi-logical playing sequence, collected into a set of files that are downloadable, and then run multiple tests of the download. I can assure you, Dan will appreciate any and all care you take to provide the best recording you can, as soon as you can. Submit your original take on any aspect of the Hallowe'en experience, choose from the list on Page 1 of this thread, or come up with something you like that was missed. But get 'em in!

Yes, I know, I did one already that came off my first album, to save my limited recording time, while I work on new songs for Album #2. If you have something already done, get it in NOW! ;-)

You can then go back to mouldering in yer respective graves, or howling at the moon. Remember, Death comes for us all; don't let the Grim Reaper catch you with your musical pants down!
