Lawrie Brewster posted some cool, dark, song lyrics...and I musicified em. It was a bit of a challenge but a fun one! This is just a capella...but feel free to add/remix/play along!

OK... WOW, I can't believe I'm about to do this. SO, I couldn't sleep last night, so I found this and was enchanted. I'm not sure what you call what I did. Let's be clear I do not and never have before other than the car... sing, or even played with music like this. So I guess this is just a temp and if I flush out the idea clearly then we find someone in HitRecord That would be a good match for Meta, vocaly. I kinda looked at it like a spokenish wordish thing, because Lawrie is just a ridiculous linguist. So just to be clear of my with myself deprecation and insecurity I had no clue how to harmonize so I didn't even try. I think i thought of it as a dark Row row row your boat( I know mad simple but thats me) there's something magical about the simplicity so this isn't it but there might be a way to keep it raw and simple and play with it. PLEASE any help is welcomed. God I can't believe I'm do this.
Thanks

It's been 4 years living with a strange form of Arthritis and its time I wrote a song.
I am no lyricist but oh well. Here goes.

Lyrics:

It struck in the dead of day
Took hold, it was leading the way.
Engulfed, feeling crippled and cold.
So young but so withered and old.

And I'm bound,
Shackled in silver Lies
Trapped in my new disguise
And I'm bound,
Be gone when I close my eyes
And dream of big blue skies
Oh I'm bound

Four years move so slowly
Each one so unholy.
So many dreams down the drain
And I know I shouldn't complain

But I'm bound...

I used spaceships awesome 'Hey! A Hit Record!" and some REmixed tiny stories to make a song.

Deffo needs more vocals layers or maybe even a different voice altogether singing it but here is a start! I was so in love with spaceship's track I had to do this. :)

Eventually be very cool to make a video using the tiny story animations...

This Track is pretty empty and needs filling. Join in!!
Cello Guitar and Vocals all myself. Composition by myself and the BEAUTIFUL lyrics by ManWithHat

A piano piece I wrote. Anyone may feel free to use this for anything. I hope someone out there enjoys it. I hope someone out there can use it.

For your listening pleasure, a small little b-side/demo we have been working on...

First off, I am proud to call this my one Hundredth record.
Secondly, There is one major change with this version. It's longer!
As last time Sarah Daly will add in the Beautiful Harmony and I have left the persuasion section vacant. If I remember rightly I think Joe was going to have a crack at it once he got back into the rec room so there is an entire section for you if you choose to fill it or anyone else for that matter.
*Phew!*

Woo!! 100!!!!
It's been an awesome ride. Can't wait for the next 100.

An instrumental piece consisting of guitars and voices inspired by the campaign for a TOMS shoe drop in Zambia. I hope this helps in some small way. Best wishes!

This is in .WAV format for those who appreciate higher-than-MP3 quality.

This is an idea I recorded for the Dance Around The World Project. I tried to make it sound "world-y".

I used iasiosee's piano impro as a starting point and tried to develop it into a ballet-like dance sequence that eventually breaks down to different dance sequences from around the world (something like an irish/middle-eastern/chinese tango-ish waltz paranoia...)

enjoy the global mess...

This is the first song I've ever written, so it's pretty mediocre(especially in the lyrics department), but it was a lot of fun to record. :) If anybody wants to add/subtract/mess around with/ rerecord, please be my guest!

PS: I have to say that I never would have thought myself capable of songwriting if not for the inspiration hitRECord offers me on a daily basis. Thanks, guys!

Why? by HelloLindsayyyyyy inspired me to post this. I'm not an aspiring actress but i find that I still measure myself against hollywood's picture of how life should be. I believe that people should follow their dreams, but i also think that life gains a kind of richness after you stop wanting to be famous. there's this beautiful feeling of self-acceptance that comes with letting go of that.

i added all the other vocal contributions to the song together. it's also i think a tiny bit easier on the ears now

48 Khz, 24 Bit stereo WAV of the entire mix

Atmospheric, ambient, sound scape with elements of experimental beats

This track is yet another unfinished concept. The intro is a journey through some atmospheric and ambient sound scapes. It bubbles and boils down to the core where the beat comes in. Drums are mostly all random computer files opened as raw digital audio streams.

I love pixel pilgrim's song. I added some drums. There's a lot of excellent sing-along moments. Anybody frisky enough to give it a go? Also, I find the whole thing très cinématique, so who's got some visuals for us?

Overnight tonight, I'll upload a zip of all the stems/resources/ProTools files, etc. (YIKES! the tech problems grow and my shit's erased! unless some miraculous recovery happens, the files no longer exist! Well, I guess I'll just have to play these drums again. It'll be better the second go-around) This could definitely use a better mix, ahem...

I wanted to add more stuff (bass especially) but, surprise surprise, i'm having troubles with the ol' REC Room rig, and at this point it crashes when I add anything new to the project? :o/

Also worth noting that I generally like to encourage everyone to record themselves on video when playing music. You just never know when that visual element might come in handy. I did not do that here, partially out of tech frustration, and mostly because my soul really just couldn't wait to play the drums already :o)

I had an impulse of sloppy passion and creativity this weekend! It's low-fi, dorky wizard wrock... but it's full of honest longing.

by heart,
pixel pilgrim
