:E
fangs of love

ATTENTION:
to all those of you who are being so kind as to remix this, please use this new version.
i re-recorded it in Am. It's still in 94bpm and i added a 3rd harmony to the 2nd verse.
i also used a real microphone as opposed to the built in mic that's on my computer. i think it's much cleaner and i hope i didn't upset anyone =(
i can be a bit of a perfectionist. sigh.

please help a damsel in distress! =)
i'm looking for some instrumentation. i hear (real violin, not synth please) violin, guitar, bass and drums but anything is welcome.
this is obviously very rough, i used minimal reverb, and i didn't auto tune anything so sadly it's a little flat in some places but i can fix that stuff later.
let me know if you need a click track =)
if you need inspiration my influences include:
bat for lashes
beachouse
goldfrapp (older stuff)
blonde redhead
radiohead
portisehead...obviously, i love head.

lyrics are:

i was born on the 3rd of june into a broken family
where words were used as weapons
and love was a bended knee
the genesis of bliss came early for me
they tried to strike if from my bones
but i was already free

now i'm half a person and everybody knows it
that's why i have no real friends and no enemies
what's the use in wasting precious energy on
loving or hating someone like me

i was born to be a fool and
not follow rules set to me
and my words are used as weapons
and my love is a history
the genesis of truth came early to me
and my heart feels no pain
like the pang of reality

now i'm half a person and everybody knows it
that's why i have no real friends and no enemies
what's the use in wasting precious energy on
loving or hating someone like me

i know i could have been great
a real beacon of light
to all those love lorn passengers
of ships passing in the night

Here is my take on the Row Your Boat idea. All voices are Regular Joe's as well as the beat box. Hope you enjoy!

Also, as per Joe's suggestion, the song is in the key of A flat major and is at 117 BPMs. The chord progression is A flat major - c minor - D flat major - b flat minor ( I - iii - IV - ii ).

I was just goofing around at home and wanted to use my camera- it would be awesome if anyone could use it or add to it- music or sound effects- even new images or lighting etc. Depending on feedback I might try to re-shoot it and spend more time with it.

The genre of glitch is completely based on sampling, cutting, chopping...the deconstruction of one artform and the reconstruction of the pieces into something new. I ripped the audio from RegularJOE's videos and sampled it into a track I made. I reconstructed his words to describe a lot of feelings I have regarding sampling and remixing in general. I was suprised how easily his words could tell my story.

Nothing big
Nothing grand
Nothing useful
Nothing planned
Nothing smart, or at least not very
Nothing revolutionary
Nothing urgent
Nothing hot
Maybe quiet
Maybe not
Nothing hard
Nothing wet
Nothing naked, well not yet
Nothing witty
Nothing wise
No big deal
No first prize
Nothing solemn
Nothing set
Nothing much to give or get
Nothing now but me and you
Nothing more, thanks, that'll do

15 SECONDS OF DEAD SPACE FOR OPENING ACCOMPANIMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF SONG

PLEASE READ: =)

*this is as crisp and clean as i could get them. i used a noise gate and clipped as much dead space in between phrases as i could.

PLEASE READ: =)

*If you choose to work on this, THANK YOU! =) i look forward to working with you!

*SONG IS IN 120 bpm
* i used an AT2020 usb mic and garage band. not high tech.

*this is the new version of "pieces" i just spent all day recording. although it is now free of the refrigerator hum, there is still a hiss that i can't seem to get rid of. hopefully with your help i'll be able to mask the sound with something much more pleasant.
i also couldn't recreate the original raspyness of my voice no matter how much sand i gargled, forced coughed or chain smoked. i don't know what was wrong with my voice that day but i loved it! =( oh well.

*what i'm looking for is organic instruments like violin, viola, cello, harp, acoustic guitar, bass. I would very much like for the music to compliment the song, slow and sultry, sad. obviously there are exceptions to every rule so please feel free to experiment , to sample, chop, and do whatever you wish to it, but the above things are what i really would like and if i get, i will be using.

*Important: if you do put something up, please accompany your post with an instrumental only track so that i can download and mix them on my own computer =)

*if you need inspiration my influences include:
bat for lashes

beachouse

goldfrapp (older stuff)

blonde redhead

radiohead 

portisehead...obviously, i love head.

*lastly if you need a click track let me know.

Lyrics:

i've been going in circles
with you in the center
i was burnt by the fall
i was burnt by the fall
ran your hair through my fingers
the haunt of it lingered
i was burnt by the fall
i was burnt by the fall
I buried all traces of you in the woods
for the animals and insects to sift through
they'll find you in pieces
if they find you at all
i wrote your name in a circle
put a lock of your hair in the middle
and i burned it all
i burned it all
i fanned the smoke with my fingers
making sure just ashes lingered
and i burned it all
i burned it all
I buried all traces of you in the woods
for the animals and insects to sift through
they'll find you in pieces
if they find you at all
i took your
spell off of me
i washed my hands
of our synergy
i loved you to pieces
i took your
spell off of me
i cut the
strings of your memory
i loved you to pieces
