Use the keys.

Thought I'd give it a go!

Stems in the results!

Lyrics:

VERSE 1

City of angels I salute you, pay homage

On your knees in the spotlight, you've come of age

Show what's best of you, the rest of you

Keep it off stage

You'll follow through, you'll know the truth

Summertime, live your youth

Summer of love, come on Romeo, show me yours

And I'll show you mine, so chilled I'm horizontal

Lay back in the 'Wood made of glory and fame

Blood sweat tears so glad I came

To LA

Left all my pain in the tracks in the road

Misused, old news, nothing left to lose

Broke my thumbs, hitchhiked to a dream

All the way, so glad I came to LA

My city of dreams so pleased to meet you 

LA

So glad I came to LA

Seal it with a handshake so glad to meet you LA

VERSE 2

Cruising on my own steam

You got nothing on me

I decide my own liberty

Nothing comes for free

I see now, the mean road

Crawled down on my knees all the way now

To live now, this is where I shine now

Put my hands in the imprints of the ones before

Cos I know in my heart I've got so much more

To offer myself than what's in my past

This summer, this heat, California I'll last

Forever

And ever

Keep it in the rear view

Throwing all my worries out as I pass Malibu

Onwards, upwards, my history won't define me

A microscopic part of what I was born to be

Sitting by the ocean, my future's in motion

Let the waves wash my hands clean

It's time to begin, to commence

No second chance I've come all this way

So glad I came to LA

wrote this song on marke's Tiny Maps piece. Decided to only use pieces of other RECs to assemble the track. 

Thank you to each of the unwitting contributors!!

On monday night, me and my good friend Bekky noticed a lady outside the locked and empty market in camden bawling her eyes out and sitting on the floor. We introduced ourselves and asked if she liked to come with us, she did. She was called lillian and she was clearly a very troubled woman and I hope nothing more than for her life to get better. anyway, I doodled her just now so I don’t forget. 

vectorized and remixed to give some other twists on this great stencily silhou. woops, fixed the typo in the title.

saintmaker's image + latest Photoshop (CS 6)+ "Oil Painting" filter

Inspired by Wirrow's tiny story, and trying to show the town that came to my mind, this is the result of what I did today in my spare time.

I'll keep adding things (if they look good in the composition), but for now I leave you this image so you can use it as background for scary stories too.

I had so much fun doing it!

Fast Fell that Star
[REmix]


"The meteorite that we had expected bounced lightly off my cheek. We looked at each other and laughed.

Then came the shower."

Okay, here's my favorite piece by Malicore with a Vintage Case keyboard track by yours truly. Not really mixed, but good for reference purposes. I've also uploaded and resourced a wav file of just the keys for editing and mixing purposes. Enjoy... the ride :)

Just a quick remix.

I think I've reached the point where I see every image as a possible hitRECord logo variant.

So Im using HR to get used to my new editing tablet. I came across Brujasur's awesomely dark composition and figured Id mess around with Conely's great shot.

Instrumental from my original Bunker tune, made a little more hip hop-ish.

I wrote and sang this tonight. Yay! Would love it if people added more stuff to it. 

i love this bumper by lydiasaskia

i wanted to play around with it a little bit - added some visual effects to make it look like an old film and added some audio effects of a projector and record scratches.

i hope its useful!

just doodle...! and thinking what I should draw next... any ideas?! :D

The Sad Marionette

"There were always strings attached"

My second illustration contribution for the "Sad Collab" this is for The Sad Marionette made by saintmaker. I'll upload more tomorrow!

i've wanted to do something with krrr's the ballet remix of jcpeterson's awesome beat since the first time i heard it - that thing is increadible!!

i got my hands on avid for a few hours and threw this together as a rough piece.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I wrote a song with the old dial up sounds. Why you ask? Don't ask silly questions, I reply 

I've been hypnotized by bell's musical interpretation of Marke's Tiny Maps and... I am in need of a map.

who doesn't need a map?

So in the spirit of collaboration I thought it would be cool if someone sang this song instead of me. You all have better voices than me anyway, lol. 

lyrics 

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

Wooo

All I wanna do is spend some time with you in the sunshine 

Woo

All I wanna do is spend some time with you and have a good life.

Woo

All I wanna do is spend some time with you in the sunshine 

All I wanna do is spend some time with you and have a good life.

All day fun in the summer sun, always at a slow pace, never gonna run.

All I wanna do is spend some time with you in the sunshine 

Woo

All I wanna do is spend some time with you and have a good life.

Woo

Cause all I wanna do is spend some time with you in the sunshine 

All I wanna do is spend some time with you and have a good life.

No work and all play, all day sippin and smokin in the summer rays

Cause all I wanna do is spend some time with you in the sunshine 

All I wanna do is spend some time with you and have a good life.

Woo

All I wanna do is spend some time with you in the sunshine 

Woo

All I wanna do is spend some time with you and have a good life.

Woo

All I wanna do is spend some time with you in the sunshine 

Woo

All I wanna do is spend some time with you and have a good life.

I used Sumo Paint (sumo.fm) to colour in some of elin's Music- another ballpoint.

He need some interesting fact to tell his friend.a "did you know...?"or something.

Calling all DRUMMERS, BASSISTS, and HOWLERS!!!

DRUMMERS:  thinky sexy and creepy. I know that might seem ironic, but the two go together well. Use 60's retro tones.  Put the swing of a woman's hips in your groove.

Come in on the first chorus (don't touch the first verse). remember to hit that musical break on the last bar of the chorus and the verses- hit the one and then pause for three counts. Feel free to do a quick pick up back into the beat. During the musical interlude at the end go crazy.  Build that section up with fills and symbols. Then let it collapse on the 5th progression's end, so that that last progression shrinks back down to a more tranquil sound. ALSO.  Please record to this track but do not mix your drums into the track... just upload your stems solo style.

BASSISTS:  sexy creepy stalky bass. Hit the root notes and creep around sparsely between them.  Come in on the first chorus (don't touch the 1st verse). Remember to hit that musical break on the last bar of the chorus and the verses. During the musical interlude at the end run a little more. This is where the song explodes and all the wolves come out to play.  ALSO.  Please record to this track but do not mix your bass into the track... just upload your stems solo style.

HOWLERS:  We need more howls!  Record yourself howling, snarling, etc and add it to the collab!

Chords:  Gm, Cm, D7, Cm, G#, Gm

Tempo:  Largo.  55 Bpm.  

Please contribute your records to the wolves in the woods collab, and source this 7.0 record.  (i.e. don't source Wolves in the Woods 4.0)  Can't wait! 

~x~

This is a brand new song I wrote about a week ago. It's usually faster and more upbeat but I decided to try it out with a lounge vibe. It's a little rough because it's new and will probably get better as I practice it more. I'd really love to add some instruments to this if anyone would be interested! :)

remixing the remix of the remix I made. remixception. NOW DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME, REALITY!!

I don't know, but I like it!

A postcard for Sojushots Landscape Monster.

With some colors and without the white background.

I would love to see all the places to which this two adventurers will go for a picnic!

This came from my snooping mailman idea: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/682495/forum

Maybe this is not going to be (in) the final product.  I just really want to present the story idea and the way to present it.

I was thinking they're already married. Past the honeymoon phase. But still in love. and The guy's a traveling salesman. This trip will be the longest time he's been away from her. And that's when she starts thinking about their relationship. I tried to act out how their feelings for each other are changing. As you can see, towards the end the nail polish has been chipped. 

But I don't want this to be story of that tingly feeling in the relationship => to "falling out of love"

I want it to be tingly feeling => doubting => realizing what they love about each other => and then that just strengthens their love for each other because they grow up together, learn to sacrifice for each other. 

bit cheesy? falling out of love themes seem cliche to me now. 

details are pretty important: 

with nail polish = a lady

without nail polish = a guy 

i tried to make the handwritings look different but i'm not sure if i've accomplished that. 

 in case you couldn't read my handwriting: 

Michael: Just finish packing. Gosh, this hurts.

Rachel: I miss you already. And I'm missing you way more. 

Michael: stalling. Couldn't get on the cable car. Is there any way we can divide the days. 

Rachel: then prisoners of alcatraz won't be able to understand. 

Michael: my buckets overflowing of love. 

Rachel: the clam chowder don't taste the same without you. Really missing you - Rachel

MIchael: wishing you're here with me at San Jose. 

Rachel: Turned on the Tv and Full House was on. The opening song showed this and reminded me how big the hole is. Missing you so 

Michael: Sending you my love from San Jose. Someday, our future house would look a tiny bit like this. Smaller fountain and maybe a maze bush. And blue roof tiles instead. 

Rachel: I like compactness! The neon lights against the victorians really complements each other. 

Michael: Loving you all the way from Grand Canyon. Let's bathe here someday. 

Michael: If I win the lottery, I would buy this park and populate it with our kids. 

Michael: Mark the date. This is where our 50th wedding anniversay will be. 

Just a witchy sounding hip hop track I made. 

Co-wrote the lyrics of a little "country/rock song" awhile back with some slide guitar arrangement.

Looking to collaborate and complete it if there are any strong rock/country crooners out there in the HitRecord community.

Please forgive the mix ...Oh and yes, that is yours truly "attempting" to sing this thing...

Lyrics by William Gallego & Victor Velez.

Music by: William G.

So you think your life’s hard now.

Boy you’ve got one coming…

It'll be over - before you know it...

Man that’s a rough deal.

There’s this girl over there you see she’s got one coming

And she’s know nothing...but she’s knows there’s this you see

Her days are spent worrying

Man, that’s a rough deal.

It’s a mystery to me how most get through

     But then there’s no one looking out for you

Man, that’s a rough deal

When some ones heart’s beating next to you,

And you still feel left with nothing.     

Man, that’s a rough deal...

  Don’t give me a rough deal 

Won’t take that rough deal

Her heart can’t take it anymore

She wants no sympathy, Then don't look for me  

 I  just wanna help!

When there’s no one looking out for you and the

tears stream down your face

Just remember, you’re not the only one

With a rough deal

I’ve got a rough deal.

He’s got that rough deal.

Don’t want that rough deal

Fuck that rough deal…

here i am, a year after i signed up to this crazy site hitRECord. i've discovered great artists, and made more creatively in the past year than i ever have before.  my abilities and style have developed, and i've been building up to start an etsy store.  so THANK YOU, hitRECord.

this record has a lot of detail to see if you download.  i'm currently working on a papercut of it.

Hello guys,

Probably, tomorrow I will not be able to upload this here, so I'm doing it today. June 15 is my one year anniversary on the site, but actually, I said June 14 in this video. Please, ignore that.

The video is my way to celebrate with you this entire and wonderful year and also a possibility for you to know me better. I hope you like it.

Thanks again for all your kind and support,

<3

I haven't drawn anything in ages and needed to sketch a bit to get back into the drawing process. Whatever i draw, i always end up with stars and/or tree-themes on it, it seems :)

(Put this in the creation myth collab because it feels like it fits the other things i did for that!) 

tried to get this one to work earlier, but the upload wasn't having it. Thought I'd give it another shot now.

You can't expect, cause all these things are changing like the seasons do

But then again, I shoulda known, that things won't change, won't change

When they're just me and you

I don't know why, why we couldn't make this work

When we're both two people, that lived in ways we weren't

I don't know why, I don't know why

Why It wouldn't work

I guess we knew, we only knew everything we weren't

Baby, you're beautiful

But if i know, If I know us

I know, we weren't

Baby, you're beautiful

But baby, I know we weren't

If I know us, Please believe

that I still remember

Everything we weren't

"Those idiots are going the wrong way." 

A sad love song...I would love if people could add to this, maybe sing alternate verses, add harmonies, more instruments..i think this could sound lovely with strings or another guitar/piano melody

<3

Lyrics:

Took a map and trampled out my way

I told you I was waiting there for you

Waiting there for you

And you said

You're just an island in the sea

Rootless, homeless

Longing for some company

But you and I we're never meant to be

Cos lovers are just friends with the lights turned out

And home is just a feeling that will pass

And feeling low's just the other side of a delirious high

And love was never built to last

You'll be the end of me

As long I hear whispers only one thing

My heart will hear the other

It will say

"You're tired now..sleep

The time has come to choose

Either way

I know my heart will lose

Cos lovers are just friends with the lights turned out

And home is just a feeling that will pass

And feeling low's just the other side of a delirious high

And love was never built to last

I absolutely love the color of his eyes! Directly after this was taken, the little bugger hopped at my camera and scared the bee-jeezus out of me!

not finished

this painting was insprired by Alice's dress in tim burton's Alice in Wonderland

this drawing took me forever....
