    Right folks,

    I'm just gonna start a little competition here in boards. No prizes unfortunately, but it would show us the boards.ie talent.

    Aim:

    Record a song on your computer through whatever means necessary. You could just be singing, playing guitar, piano. Whatever it is and you think it would be a good entry, just do it.

    It could be your own song, it could be a cover !

    Upload it to webspace and then link to it in this thread, I suppose I better make a closing date for entrys. This will be decided soon.

    Once all entries have been received I will make a poll thread with all the entrys and then the boards.ie users can vote for their favourite song.

    Get recording !

    Slaan.

    Yeah that is a pretty good song alright, dunno if I should allow it though, it's not really you on your own Gar. Got any with you singing and playing ?

    Should I limit it to songs recorded within the next 2 weeks ?

    Slaan.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,299 ✭✭✭oeNeo


    It's more like a pencil without an eraser tbh.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,306 ✭✭✭NeMiSiS

    Its a kinda extended outro to one of my bands songs..but Im playing all the guitars on it..very and far from perfect,was more so to get the idea and the feel of the outro..I dig it..also kinda half wrote it for my gf being the soppy ****er I am..never even said thanks ! The bitch. *shrug*

    Also if you wanna listen to my kinda thought process trying to work out the solo literally thinking out loud,listen to (bum notes n all:) :

    A song we recorded yesterday in a garage with an 8 track

    Me : Lead guitar/Rhythm
    Funktastic : Drums
    Art Vandelay : Bass
    (non boards member) : Vocals

    I guess it could pass as 75% of us are on boards.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,299 ✭✭✭oeNeo


    Good song Giblet, doesn't compare to mine though, I'm afraid. ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 701 ✭✭✭fuse


    Here's one i made a few err months ago, but its all me, bass & reversy guitar with a few samples thrown in.
    The Kingdom


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,980 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Damn it, how is anyone supposed to compete with OeNeo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    i was going to dig out my 152bpm donnie darko sampling hooverfest, i've decided that's staying in my private stash tho.

    might see if i can get the samples to work somewhere between 120-140...

    /edit
    i couldn't be arsed messing about with the aforementioned tune.

    if you don't like amatuer, highly repetitive, electronic, poorly compressed, sloppily programmed music then i'd suggest you ignore the following link.

    if that sounds like your bag, feel free to give it a listen. just don't expect anything original, or for that matter, good.

    Some good stuff there lads !

    Might aswell throw in my entry. It's very badly recorded, simple crappy microphone. Recorded it a while back when my dad died. My first and only song I have ever written.

    Let me know what you think,

    Slaan.

    I was gonna try my luck with this, but after I heard Eoin's masterpiece, I kinda decided against it...

    No contest
