Songwriting going fairly well...got a few more bars done, recording should be easy luckily.

I'm not sure I'm 100% fitting to the genre..It would fit in to a subgenre of the genre though..I'm sure, haha

Holy shit I forgot about this

Fuck, I forgot about this too. I even wrote a song but I forgot about it too -__- whatevs I just start all over i guess.

one day i'll just sit down and nail it out. didn't feel like it today

There's a chance I can actually get this one done, so we'll see how it ends up.

well there is still a nice chunk of time left.

Yeah about 20 days still!

damn didn't even realize it was still that much.

This is pretty freakin awesome......one keyboardist up for grabs.

Just finished all my instrumentation and programming, now I need to send it to a vocalist and get my own on it. Urrrgh.

I got this, yo.

I should start recording today. I might end up rewriting the lyrics (again).

Looks like this will be an awesome challenge . Good luck for you all guys !

Well I'm going to start recording vocals.

Still waiting on tracks from the other dudes. They recorded drums (which is sweet, because we were gonna use a drum machine, but they got someone to record them), guitars, and the main vocals last week. I've just got to do my bass part, then some backing vocals and mix everything. Hopefully I can do it in time since I'm leaving for vacation on July 9th and not coming back until the 16th.

Edit: Turns out I'm actually leaving tomorrow, and not on the 9th, so I can't record any of my shit. Pretty big bummer on my end, but the song is written, and considering Killedbyaforklift already has all the guitars, drums, and vocals, my relatively easy bass line shouldn't be too hard to conjure up. I helped write the song, which I guess is what this is all about, but he'll be submitting the track instead of me, with all of the recording being done by him and a friend.

I have finished my recording and sent it in by now

I haven't even started writing mine yet, heh. I should get a lot done for it this weekend, though, and should have it done by the deadline.

I keep forgetting to do this.

I must've written like 3 different versions of my song already. Fuck you indecisiveness.

Ah hell, count me in. I'd definitely be partial to sludgey/doom thing and grindcore, seeing how I only have bass, drum programming, and vocals at my disposal haha.

edit: too late?

I guess. Deadline is next friday, and GeoCO3 seems to be busy at the moment, so you might not get your genre in time.

This recording prcoess is like trying to nail Jel-0 to the wall: It ain't going well

Just flip the house on it's side, the Jel-O will obey.

I think I'm gonna sig this.

Sorry I wasn't able to do this one. Not only has the place where I work been put under the leadership of incompetent assholes who are trying to find a reason to fire 30% of the workforce, but my car also gave up the ghost so I've been chasing down buses in Texas heat.

Glad I'm moving back to NOLA in January.

Hopefully I'll be able to jump into the next one.

Had shit times with power outages. Only half the recording has been done and there's still mixing to go, so that pretty much leaves out my witching stoner metal song. Maybe for another time.

I think I'll submit a little ol' sludge song though. It's short, mean, and you've probably never heard a tone like that before anyway.

Who knows, with how busy Geo is, he might just extend the deadline anyway.

yea cause I haven't thought about this since last time I posted. i could record a track tmwr but I won't sit and mix it to make sure I had it done by Friday. so no clue if i'm going to bother. i'm trying to finish up vocals for a split and mix it all down so I can send it off monday for print

Maybe we could give it an extension just through the weekend to make the deadline Sunday night rather than Friday? Giving people the weekend will probably result in a lot more submissions. I'll submit mine either way, but as I've been pretty busy and didn't really start working on it until today, you'll definitely get a better sounding song if I get until Sunday night to finish it.

yea giving me that sat I can squeeze it out very quickly

Forgot about this again lol. If there's an extension through the weekend I'll get something done.

i'm going to just act as if there is.

Sounds like a plan. Let's just all boycott the Friday deadline, then!

damn, looking back maybe i should have signed into this challenge..... oh well, next time i guess.

Great, I'll rerecord the vocals then......so we have until Sunday now?

yes! cause we make the rules! the inmates rule the yard.

I wonder how many submissions there have been so far. Mine just needs some vocals, which I can't do until monday thursday.

I have sent in my song a while ago.
Didn't take me more than 2-3 minutes to "write" and then I recorded it in about 30-40 minutes, both drums and guitar. Vocals and bass were done on the first take...

that was pretty much the same with my song. since it was something i normally do in one of my bands it wasn't a real stretch for me to write and record it. I'll do vocals and mix it tmwr.

I can't do my own vocals, I just don't sound good at all.

So Geo has my instrumental submission, he was going to have a female friend do the vocals because I got gothic/symphonic. I don't know if that's going to work out.
