Could DiSers make a song together?

no votes
?
by thommo

i know it's something that was suggested a looong time ago but never came to fruition.
How easy would it be for different DiS users to create a song by just sending the seperate parts to each other? A bit like the Postal Service i guess but with more people.
i'm not very technically minded but i'd happily try to submit something. Even if it was the artwork.

because all disers that claim to be in bands spend more time posting shite

and hiding from the thought of writing music.
they have nice hair and good puntuation though!
x


oh right

glad that's cleared up.


that what you get from

eating so many lemons.


^ much fittah


hahaha

yeah i know, i thought that after i read the post.. but it is true though really.
..and it is honesty without looking for anything.


:D

It is quite funny.


can i be on melodica?

IM ON MELODICA.


meLOLdica


meLOLdicka


anyway

yes. You're playing by yourself at the moment though, it seems.


nice one.


i'm in!

i can't play anything or sing and i'm not technologically minded at ALL though

yay!


could you rap?


if quality is not an issue

yes. definitely yes.


i might maybe

want somebody to rap for a song anyway, if you're up for it?


yes!

but really i would be awful. as long as you're okay with that :D


you could never be awful.

we're writing a song about Slavoj Zizek and there's a breakdown at the end that we want some toasting on.


really?

he's awesome :) good choice of subject!

And oh my god people will actually listen to it? Okay, but i won't be offended if you decide to cut me out ;)


okay

i think the terribleness of the actual song will dwarf any vocal imperfections you feel you display.


:D


* sex wee*


Alright, showoff...

(It's good though. I like).


:D

yay!


No


Basically, no.

There are too many varied tastes on here, so you'd either have to align who would take part by what style they'd contribute, or have some really silly thing where someone who knows nowt about, for example, post-rock plonks an inappropriate riff in the middle.


that could be

pretty hiLOLrious though.


well someone needs to instigate it

everyone will say they will be up for it but no one will be brave enough to get the ball rolling and upload anything


Yeah OK

I have a vintage electric organ, I don't know if anyone here knows about this or not but I do and I just got it and I like to use it.


I can play the drums

and the harmonica.

I'm in a spoof girl-band called three little boys who have nothing better to do. We're a young, white version of the jackson 5. Except shit.


you interest me


You have to hear our hit single.

It's about ham baps.


do you have

a myspace?


this is amazing

"Rock me like Mark Kermode
Study me as I shoot my load
Discuss the lighting and mise-en-scene
And give me an overall mark OUT OF TEEEEEEN!!!!

I'll rock you till you're blue and black
Like Neil Buchannen, I'll give you an Art Attack
I'll teach you how to draw cartoons
And use my junk to paint the MOOOOOOON!!!!

Rock you like I'm King Kong and you're
My dirty Empire State Building whore
I'll climb up and down you all night long
Till the planes come to shoot me, and I'm dead an GOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!!"

can't we just make the music to this?


i'll join!

i have a rainstick (http://tinyurl.com/5uq8ap). not to be boastful, but i'm pretty damn amazing on the rainstick.


i can go for that.

Maybe it could be set in a thunderstorm like an eighties power ballad.


yeah!

only thing is, it's like a mini rainstick. so it would have to just be a very small thunderstorm, maybe.


I'm tempted to say I have a big rainstick...

But that'd be wro... oh, I just did.

I have a big rainstick.


But I do actually own a rainstick.

We could be the rainstick section.


any band with a rainstick section

is undoubtedly destined for greatness.


i'll rain your stick

...no, i don't know what that means either


i'll stick your rain...?

What game are we playing again?


THE INNUENDO GAME

for tips, see: 80% of posts on dis


IN YOUR ENDO

i can't believe you fell for that :D


^ that's what SHE said

When she...seduced you?


wut?


we could

stick some effects on it, maybe put it in an echo chamber or try and filter it through a vocoder.

(Note: i have never been in a studio ever.)


:D

LET'S DO IT


:D

OKAY


I have a child's accordion

that kicks your rainstick's arse.


violence is unneccessary!

child's accordion and rainstick can exist in harmony. this internet band is shaping up pretty good so far, i'd say.


somebody

needs to whack down a beat, or a melody, or something.


"whack down a beat"

well I never!


I'd say

best band ever!


Always.


:D

We could unite the Yamahas :) They sound pretty good through a distortion pedal, too :D


Hey guys, I can play the guitar!

This will, no doubt, make me invaluable and irreplaceable as part of this project.


hmm...yeah

but you'd be jostling for pole position with the rainstick section.


actually bagsy singer

i enjoy dressing up and showing off. That's what you need to be a singer.


Rainsticks > Guitars

duh!


i do

and an 80s drum machine. young marble dissers?


yes plz
