phonontek's Collaborations

Text_notecard_shadow_top_left

Hey guys, I got inspired by two acapellas I found by kidcubicle and KamPAIGN. They talk about remembering to stay true to yourself and your dreams. As we all do whatever it takes in this life to get ahead and pursue our passions it can be hard to feel like we're ever going to make it. But remember to keep doing whatever it takes; success is following your dreams not simply "making it big". We're all a work-in-progress.


This track is both nostalgic and forward-facing at the same time. So don't ever forget to take a moment to chill out, be grateful, and look back at how far you've come when you need inspiration to take the next step forward.


This track is missing a chorus! It's got 3 spots in it for one. The chorus is 16 bars in length and appears at 1:01, 2:03, and 3:15 on the cymbal crash. I'd love to see some of hitRECord's soulful sisters out there lay down their take on a chorus. And further more there's no lyrics for the chrous yet, so someone could contribute a text RECord on some possible words that fit with this theme.


Also for any ladies singing the chorus, it migth also be cool to sing some laid back accompanyment (just some mmms and such) that I could try mixing in to the verses as well. It shouldn't be anything too upfront as it would be more of a background element.


The track tempo is 93 bpm. I'll post a zip eventually with the stems. Also kidkubicle and KamPAIGN if you feel like you want to rework any of your parts I'm open to it.


I also see the possibility for a couple different remixes including an extended mix and instrumental. I'd love to lay down some soulful/funky lead synth on this track too.


Thanks all!

Text_notecard_shadow_top_left [ The Concept ]
This collaboration is for anyone who wants to help make beautiful music together. What? You don't play a musical instrument you say? Be not afraid. The idea is to create a music video by stitching together interesting sounds from other videos on hitRECord.org.

Jam with us please! Scour the site far and wide for videos with interesting sounds. Or create new sounds.

[ What You Can Do ]
Currently we are looking for video with sound bytes that are more tonal (we have the percussive stuff down). So things with a constant and sustained pitch would be great.

We also need someone to create a montage of the sounds being used in more of their natural context. The idea is that the video will start with just a series of the clips that the sounds come from and will slowly blend into the song made out of them. Try to come up with a creative intro using the footage. It should probably be no longer than one minute. It could be much less.
