here's everything.


REmixes. Solo RECords. Tiny Songs.


everything but the kitchen sink.


and the beats, since they got their own album now ;)


~


now don't just be like "oh look, an album of RECords. ho hum"
listen to this stuff.
especially all you newer people.
there's a slew of music on here that dates back to my very first day as a user on HitRECord (1/1/11), so there's probably stuff you haven't heard, and may find useful, or entertaining.


so have a listen.


enjoy.

Frozen/Fading is a piece made a couple months ago, one quiet evening during a tough time in my personal life. The title represents the feeling of a moment frozen in time, yet it's fading, like a memory over time.


It was created by me playing my electric guitar with an E-Bow (a small device that vibrates individual stings via magnets, allowing infinite sustain), fading each note slowly in, through reverb and delay, with the delay set to "tape" and feedback 100% - the resulting effect is the notes keep playing over and over, decaying slowly as the "tape" loses sound quality. What you hear here is the "golden moment" - about 5 minutes into the delay's decaying.


Recorded live at 17th Street Recordings, Costa Mesa, CA - via Albeton Live Lite (v.8)


It can be used as background music for something, if found useful. Enjoy.


Happy New Year everyone!

WARNING: it may be a bit loud.


A small experiment in remixing vocals to some old & new music work.


the wonderful alyssa (aszarkowski) is sampled, as well as alpal's reading of the "ghost" poem, which i thought could fit into it somehow.


Vocal experiments included remixing alyssa's different readings, and playing the remixed vocal through a resonated-delay-treatment, and remixing her vocal into a more thinner small-speaker sound and put with the delay. i remixed alpal's vocal by tweaking EQ and adding larger reverb. The main drum beat and arpeggio motif I've had for a few months. The arpeggiating part is run through a delay setting i messed around with. New sounds are near the middle and end, including the synth and ambient sounds. The guitar part is from an old jam session a few months ago, with my guitar being put through my trusty BOSS delay and Slicer pedal. I let you figure out where it appears, teehee.


This is by no means a finished version, and I plan to do some more remixing to it soon. Maybe even add some more RECords to it.


Hope you enjoy it.


Oh, and listen with headphones too. [wink]

A little experiment with a reading of "Ghost" by doverpeak. I wanted to fit this into the "Ghosts (version 1)"  RECord, but I couldn't find a good spot for it (my own reading of the poem got cut as well). But I wanted to include this "outtake" because I still like it.


Basically, it's a simple remix of her reading. Using Ableton, I stretched out the spaces between each break, to give it a little extra "pause" in between. When listening to the playback, I noticed that the track that was stretched created this little glitch-like sound (that's actually the sound file being literally stretched). I decided to have some fun and add a pre-amp and low-bit rate distortion to only the stretching parts. For the last one, I sent the "transpose" knob downward.


And here, is what came out of that. Hope you like.

This music was written in November, 2010. My words were written sometime around then, and I later put them with the music. The drums are the oldest, having been created almost a year before then, bounced from an old demo. Synth parts were added December, 2010. I added my own vocals overthe first part and chorus.


The last part to be added was Aszarkowski's vocals, which were a VO of a poem by Metaphorest. I liked the vocals, and in finding the key, happily discovered that it more-or-less matched my song, so after some snip-snips and time-adjusting, I did my best to fit it into this piece of music, which (in my opinion) worked out pretty well :)


I added a small "intro" - just because.


I felt another "gap" open if anyone wants to add to it. Still work-in-progress.


I hope you like it.


Warm thanks to Aszarkowski's beautiful voice and Metaphorest's beautiful words for filling my pages with color <3


Lyrics:


I am under your pressure.
Wild-eyed and careless,
I've done enough to trouble the peace built between us.
Constantly shifting,
Unannounced and instant,
As plates would below the earth.


I ask for no pardon, I ask for no favor,
Unable to surrender in this evr-constant warfare.
Though the trenches are flooded,
The letters are scattered about,
And one man alone must walk across the bones.


Long gone from home.


Unlock the doors and blow the windows open,
Stop the clocks and leave no truth unspoken
Although when living true you may feel lost
A thousand times, the prize is worth the cost


Let down the walls and drop all the pretences
Dismantle the trapdoors and barbed (wire) fences
Invite the good, the bad, the beauty in
Through once thick skin, now beautifully thin


Long gone from home.

Variations of a drum rhythm I created via Ableton.


Was trying to find something to put this to, but I ended up deciding to leave as is, for the opportunity of someone using it and doing something with it.


Each variation is about 8 measures long. Enjoy.

Lonely as stars may become, restless in dark skies above,
They never tire, rust or expire, leaving their wishes fulfilled.
This I could be unto you, laughing all the way through,
Falling and rising, though never disguising the constant rush of the thrill.
(ooh) Roll, roll with the tide.


As though I was just a grain of sand, washed back and forth on the sand,
With you as the sea, watching over me, I've nothing to lose or to fear.
And sometimes the roles are reversed, in that which we cannot rehearse,
This play we call life, the joy and the strife, perform with a smile and a tear.
(ooh) Roll, roll with the tide.


A fire still burns the by and by, a flame I could never deny,
Honest and just, a symphonic lust, pulling me ever to you.
So let's ride this wave to the end, guiding the break and the bend,
The tide will roll on, present and calm, sharing this love born anew.
(ooh) Roll, roll with the tide.

when we were invisible everything was on fire and it started with a glitch wandering back from the deathly rain into a Scrimp N Save dreaming of a garden to bury things in while rowing a boat gently down the stream merrily dreaming life is but nothing big.


all this occurring in exactly eleven minutes and eleven seconds.

This music was conjured up one inspiring evening in the fall of 2008, in my then-dwellings of Laguna Beach, CA ~ RE:RECorded the parts of the original demo guitar loop using my trusty Strat


The title "Molinos" comes from the Spanish word for "mills" (as in windmills) which is where my family's surname originates from. I named it such for the music, in a sense, reminded me of the gears of a windmill.

really liked how this came out on my Mega Mix, and so I made it as its own RECord. I restructured some of the parts, and added a electric guitar solo for the end.
I added the vinyl sound to mimic those awesome 1960s garage band 7" 45rpm singles that are now relics of an earlier RECording age.
Hope you enjoy it.

Vocals: Robo_J, SParra, TongueCutSparrow, TheMetafictionist

*italic lyrics REmixed from We'll Let The Waves Take Us by Abra


When will I see you again,
my lover and my friend?
It's been so long since I've heard your song, as Autumn brings the Summer to an end.
Tell me where will you go, from the hills you only knew?
To the scene of great watery green, or to the lands where the stray winds once blew?


So Lover, sink down with me
Into the depths of this dark, blue sea
Sink down with me
Down into this unforgiven sea


Oh what things you do to me, in our decadent dreams.
Wrap me in your silly ways, and sway me again for hours upon end.
This is our time to fly, towards our chosen limitless skies.
And I will not hesitate to take the fall, for breaking all the rules we used to bend.

the music of this REmix was born from finding the REmix made by TheMetafictionist of a piano/drum loop made by GwenInterrupted. I took part of it, slowed it down, and built a new progression on top of it. this REmix also uses a drum loop, also made by GwenInterrupted, which was sampled from a RECord made by Krrr.

Refrain
My love ain't coming home no more
Like she always had before
My love aint coming home no more


She gave me the gift of song
Songs we'd sing, sing along
When she would come, come home


For many days I was by her side
The place she'd come, come to hide
When she would come, come home


I know that I've done you wrong
I know I've done, done you wrong
That's why I'm singing, singing this song
When you won't come, come home

i RE-RECorded the parts, added some bbbbass and added a middle part, based on Marke and Babbish's suggestion.


The format here is the main part 4 times through, then the middle part - lather, rinse, and repeat


The middle part's chords are C and G round a couple times.

It was made for fun at a office space/makeshift-RECording studio I was hanging out at. It's been resting peacefully in the catacombs of my "archive" USB and I thought it would be comfy here too :)

I've been yearning to do some good ol' Swing guitar on something through HitRECord, and Syoh's HitRECordette idea is just what I was lookin' for!

*2nd ending:
G - Am - D7 | G - G7 - | -> (bridge)


Bridge:
C6 - - - | - - - - | G6 - - - | - - - - | A7 - - - | - - - - | D7 - - - | - - - - |


-> verse 1x -> solo


Solo:

C7 - - - | - - - - | G6 - - - | - - - - | A7 - - - | - - - - | D7 - - - | - - - - |


-> verse 2x -> bridge -> verse 1x -> End


End:

|: A7 - - - | D7 - - - | G - - - | E7 - - - :|  3x


 


| G -G7 - | A7 D7 G - | G (end) |

i've been working on n off with this idea since mid-July. finally got some things on it to where i'm comfortable uploading it as a REmix RECord, but still trying to figure the fucker out.


anyhoo. i had some production fun here.
found a nice little panning-distortion effect for the original bass, which set everything into motion, and everything else (besides Pammy's voice, of course) is my contribution.


this is what i have so far.
if you got any opinion/critique about it, i wanna hear it.
if it sucks, tell me why, and i'll make it better.
if you think you can make it better, my sounds are yours to improve upon.

one of my favorite things to do on HitRECord is finding and putting together RECords that appear unrelated yet have even the slightest hint of a common thread woven between them.


When I was making my HitRECord 11:11 MegaMix RECord - http://www.hitrecord.org/records/375680 - I wanted to end it on a good, peaceful note. I wanted to include the Row Row Row Your Boat collaboration, and I wanted to use Joe's Nothing Big as well... So, rather than pick one or the other, I simply put them together :)


This REmix uses:  Chase_Horseman's piano-only RECord  the singing RECorded from SITC 2010 and of course, Joe.


Hope you enjoy.

this was made by me a while back while watching the news of the riots in England (6-10 August)


Guitar, Bass, Piano, Drums by meeeeeeeeeeeee


with the exception of the drums, bass, and piano, all the sounds you hear on this were created with my guitar. i would create sounds using my pedal board (Boss Slicer and Whammy being the most prominently used pedals), and pick the best little bits from the liter, then loop them via Ableton.


The drums you hear were all artifical/MIDI, created, programmed and modified by me via Ableton.


I've always loved the fun challenge of making the real instruments sound artificial, and the artificial instruments sound real.


Always try to think outside the box.


Happy REmixing

harmonica RECorded inside tile living room of old house, on last night of residence, after everything had been moved out (no effects - reverb/ambience is all natural)

 headphones moreorless required ;o)


this RECording uses two sound effect audio samples, found in the public domain http://www.pdsounds.org


 


everything else, besides the RECords resourced, is me.


 


Alors me voici de l'autre côté du lac
Et peu de temps m'est imparti.
Je regarde en arrière sur mon voyage ici
Et écris cette même rime


Pour te raconter comment tout a commencé
Car bientôt j'oublierai,
Un sacrifice qu'il me faut payer
Jusqu'à ce que tout soit relancé.


Je serai de nouveau à tes côtés, mon amour,
Peut-être pas comme avant.
Mais je trouverai de brèves mélodies et de simples chants
Pour bâtir un pont entre nos rives éloignées.


Une erreur momentanée, peut-être,
À travers des amants qui peuvent voir
Dans les moments de désir divin et d'espoir
Ceux que nous étions.


Les étincelles qui jaillissaient de nos étreintes
Ravivées dans un baiser,
Lueur de notre ancien amour
Dans ces éclairs humains de bonheur ensoleillé.


Il est temps maintenant pour moi de tourner la page
Et d'être emporté au loin.
Mais je prends avec moi ce message
Pour qu'il puisse te trouver un jour.


Par n'importe quel moyen,
Entre toutes les mains qu'il pourra croiser,
Pour te rappeler dans tes heures les plus sombres
Que nous étions jadis jumelés.


Quand de tragiques moments te brisent le cœur,
Quand tu es perdu dans la foule,
Quand tu es pris en otage par la peur
Et quand tes histoires rugissent trop fort


Souviens-toi seulement que ce n'est qu'un conte,
Qu'il suffit de faire semblant
Et qu'un jour, comme toutes les histoires le font
La nôtre finira sûrement.


Nous nous retrouverons de nouveau où tout a commencé


Sans avoir conscience d'être nés.


Nous le ferons encore, du fond du cœur,


Scyel et Thair, pour toujours âmes sœurs.


*


so here i am across the lake
and left with little time
i look back on my journey here
and write this very rhyme


to tell you how it all began
as soon i will forget 
a sacrifice i have to pay
until all is reset.


i'll be with you again, my love
perhaps not as before
but i will find brief melodies
to break us from our chores.


a momentary lapse, perhaps
through lovers who can see
in moments of divine desire
the ones we used to be.


the sparks that flew in our embrace
remembered in a kiss
flickers of our ancient love
in these human blips of bliss.


and that will ever be enough
to keep us burning bright
an ember can ignite a fire
one flame can warm the night


it's time for me to let go now
and be carried away,
but i take this message with me
so it may find you one day.


through whatever way it chooses
through whomever it may find
to remind you in your darkest hour
that we were once entwined.


when tragic moments break your heart
when lost within a crowd
when fear has taken hold 
and when your stories roar too loud


just remember that it’s all a tale
a big game of pretend
and one day, as all stories do
ours will also end.


but we’ll meet again back at the start


with no knowledge of our birth


we'll do it all again, by heart


a new hevn and a new urth.

I heard Expoobident's audio RECord (feat. Pamagotchi on vocals) on the recent Regularity, and I felt those tride and true REmixing urges REsurfacing...
I looked up the RECord, and after a having a listen, I felt there were changes, to both the sound and arrangement, that I felt would amplify the immense potential of this RECord.
So, rather than waste precious time figuring out a way to critique the changes in words, I did what I'm much better at, which is to act upon the changes myself.


Ultilizing the audio stems, provided by Expoobident and Pamagotchi, I went to work - REworking the arrangement, slowing the development without giving up the pace, REmixing and REarranging the sounds, all with Pam's magneficent voice carrying it, guiding it home.


So put on your good headphones, turn up your speakers, dance your heart out, and enjoy.



Instrumentation - Expoobident
Vocals - Pamagotchi
REmix arrangement & production - meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

REmixed fleurdely's Audio RECord
added assorted MIDI drums, electric guitar, and bass (played by me)


here's the order i put the arrangement in:
0:00-0:29 - intro/refrain
0:29-1:09 - verse
1:09-1:29 - refrain
1:29-2:08 - verse
2:08-2:28 - refrain
2:28-2:58 - interlude
2:58-3:37 - refrain
3:37-4:57 - interlude/end 


a rough draft, it can be chopped up, added to, fucked around with, whatever. have some fun with this if you like. might add more to this at a future date.


Enjoy.

Vocal RECordings by Metaphorest & The Morning Hollows (RECorded 4/2011)


Bass Gtr & Drum RECording by Albert (RECorded 2/2011)


 Drum Kit sample & Keyboard RECording by GwenInterrupted (RECorded 5/2011)


Cymbal crash RECording by thisishowiroll (RECorded 10/2011)


EBow gtr solo by me (RECorded 2010)


2012 REmix arrangement & production by meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


This REmix contains only samples from the RECords resourced. No outside/extra RECordings were used.


---------------------------------------


this took nearly a full year after the original bass line & 'Ravens' RECords were released for me to 'crack' the idea for an arrangement that worked.
back in April 2011, i downloaded the audio stems that Albert, Sarah, and Matt uploaded to the site, and after trying some ideas that ended up not going aywhere, decided to put this REmix on hold until I could think of something suitable. Sometimes the best ideas come much later. Sometimes, it's better to put your impulses aside and allow time to pass...
in January 2012, I came up with the idea of looping Matt & Sarah's ending vocal lines which created the proper foundation, along with Albert's bass, for the song to move in a cohesive, structured direction. Everything else, the drums, guitar solo, format, followed suit.
And there you have it.


many thanks to Albert, Matt & Sarah <3
