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)

There is just so much exciting art here I kind just wanted to wear it!
I might of missed a couple resources,so if you find any just let me know :)

Joe and I got together a few days ago to get theatrical with Metaphorest's tall tantalizing tale. We wanted to make a spine for the short film we're all making that could pull together everyone's contributions. Not only the original text, but everyone else's drawings, animations, music and various Morgansen oriented records were so inspiring we had to try them on ourselves.

Jen, thanks for drawing such a cute bow and fabulashes!!!

This is simply a base layer - there's lots more work to be done!!!

The walls are for painting!

We need:
- a foodpenguin
- a table
- wax sticks
- other diners?
- herbivorous options
- a bunny baby
- du vin
- a moon
- some starsss
- what else?

Some of these things have already been RECorded to great effect and just need to be REmixed in. We could also use other RECords on hitRECord that might not have been intended for this collaboration, but will work anyway. Some things we'll just have to make starting now...

<3,
Lula et RegularJOE

The foundation of the Hey! A Hit Record! collaboration. Listen with your ears, preferably, even though the eyes may have it, the nose may know it and the tongue may lash it.

Hi! I'm Spaceship. Everyone say, "Hi, Spaceship!" ...Or not.

I recorded a upbeat, 1960s-influenced song many ages ago and never got around to putting words to it. It has acoustic guitars, organ, piano, drums, tambourine, timpani, and hand claps. Here's hoping someone will have an idea of what to do with it.

So...download it now! Hurry! Listen to it, then proceed to either a. fall asleep, or b. fall down this rabbit hole of a collaboration.

Some background info: when I thought of the tune, I was on the EL train in Chicago, listening to a lady talking about all of the layoffs at the steel mills in the 1980s, and how she had been there with the picket lines. I kept looking out the window of the train as she talked. I wasn't ignoring her, but as it was such a beautiful day, all I could think was, "Today is as nice a day as any to get laid off." And thus, a song was born.

Anyway, I'm picturing a short music video, of sorts, as the final result. Perhaps an entire story told in the span of three and a half minutes. Whatever you can think of, do it and send it, if the spirit moves you. Inject a bit of yourself into the mix and see what happens.

So! If you feel inspired, send any and all lyrical, musical and visual ideas this way. Let's do this thing!

The original title, "Veille L'sanctifier Enfant", translates, roughly, as "Behold the Holy Child". Very roughly.

Lyrics:

We fall in love with our own shadows
Soft and hollow by the moon
By the ants crawling up our knees
They're so ambitious
And oh, so vicious

Halloween and baby Jesus
The deep, dark truth is coming soon
Life itself is but a smoke we breathe
And what exists
But the space between us all

We fall in love with our own shadows
Halloween and baby Jesus
Soft and hollow by the moon
The deep, dark truth is coming soon

thanks for your RECords Expoobident & ali.brittney!!
i enjoyed playing with them :)

SxSW 2010 was some of the coolest shit hitRECord has done yet, THANK YOU! Now let's make some RECords about it. Tons of Resources have been Released, videos, photos, writings, now it's time to remix it all into some Results.

Video editors, let's make the hitRECord SxSW 2010 mini movie! But not just video editors, we'll need music, graphics, words, and anything else.

Or, even if you're not gonna cut some video or make some music, you could really help this project by compiling an ALBUM of your favorite SxSW RECords. Going through the extensive footage we've got and making selects is an invaluable part of the process.

In other news, we're closing the books on Sundance 2010. Two weeks ago we proposed numbers for how to divide up the Contributing Artists' profit pool. We've gone through all of your remarks on those proposals, and we'll be releasing the revised and finalized numbers this week. Then in the next two weeks we'll be gathering the contributors' info so we can send out the checks.
