I would like to hear music not picked out by MeChatters, but written by 'em. Got it? Bring it!
/me gets out Chuck Barris's gong....

All right - you asked for it!

My band James Leroy (start with "Wasting Our Time"(Direct MP3) (Sounds like: ??? Indie rock / 70's punk).

My solo lofi-acoustic anti-folk Ran Start with "The Trainbridge Divides Us All" (no, the pic on that page is not me)

I've got seven acoustic tunes up on this page.

Here's one I did. It's not properly mixed down or finished or anything, really more of a sketch. It's using remapped audio-spectrum samples of the High Altitude Auroral Reasarch Program radio frequencies as texture and structure samples. It sounds like old offbeat acid techno, similar to Coil's Snow EP or Windowpane - but nowhere near as good. I like the synth line melodies. It's called "HAARP Fan" because of the sample source, and because bits of it were inspired by and/or sound like an old oscillating desk fan I was using at the time.

Here's a cut-and-paste slice and dice remix I did of a track my friend did. This was edited entirely in Windows Sound Recorder, with beat matching and quantization eyeballed. Err, earballed. It came out quite nice considering that. His band is/was called Bassland, they've toured all over the place and are famous for their improv live PA sets. I really liked the track, a lot, but it wasn't long enough.

my music is here: soplerfo.com/mp3

most of it is clicky and quiet and composed on the computer.

Foiled!

I'm supposed to set up my new band's site this weekend, and I've since removed the page that used to house earlier efforts now that I'm no longer fishing for collaborators. We'll be playing shows in nyc soon, too, or is that: too soon?

I'll see if I can speed up the process and post something here later.

Try here or here for my stuff. I'm also play upright bass in a band, but we haven't recorded yet.

Bird in the Night. That's me writing and singing and playing some guitar. More here.

loquacious - Nice pieces. They remind me of a fair amount of the music that's played on Deep Mix or the Thinner/Autoplate stations/websites. Think I'll put these on rotation on my computer at work here. :)

a little late, but here's the harvey girls. You could always start with our homage to Captain Beefheart's song Blabber n Smoke.

Zack_Replica: Woot. I love deepmix.ru and the thinner/autoplate stuff.
posted by loquacious 05 August | 19:48
I got nothing, unless someone snuck a recording of me singing bohemian rhapsody in the shower.
posted by matildaben 05 August | 20:22
Never too late, melissa may! I'm lovin' hearing all you folks. :-) Great stuff.
posted by Cryptical Envelopment 05 August | 20:47
I just wrote this for you: (Bass clef) Key of B flat. 4/4 Andante.

First measure: Half note B flat glissando to half note F trill.

Second measure: Whole rest.

Third and final measure: B flat one octave above the first-staccato eighth note. Pianissimo.

Finis.

Thank you, thank you.

Oh, right on. Thanks, folks.
Quartermass, I really like the vocals on Wasting Our Time.
posted by Wolfdog 06 August | 06:54
Thanks Wolfdog. I had to sing that song approx 1 million times to get just right.

*waits patiently for superstardom...

Here's a shitty recording of a song I wrote. I'm playing mandolin and trumpet on it.
posted by interrobang 06 August | 19:21
Oh, and you can clearly hear me singing some "la"s.
posted by interrobang 06 August | 19:28
I was listening to my music and this great song came on that I didn't wholly recognize the artist. Turns out it was Wasting Our Time by James Leroy (which I enjoyed on my first listen, put into rotation, and had it turn up for the first time again a few moments ago).

Sadly, I'm waaayyy behind on my efforts mentioned upthread.

OK. This one is for those of you who read MetaChat by recent comments (I sometimes do): here's a quasi-temporary link to some mp3s of bands I've been in. Your humble commenter, me, is merely the bassist in all efforts.

I never really finished the site for the new band: Division of Planes, things have been too busy (writing material for the upcoming shows, of course). Gawd, don't you just love temporary holding pages...? It's on the way, I swear. The internet abounds with my false-starts. Cheers.
