CHORDIE MEMBERS MUSICAL NETWORK (Page 1 of 2)

Hi Chordians,

  Just received a piece of original music that has been thrown out there for "enhancement", courtesy of Sir Russell of Wisconsin.

  Any one wanting to add vocals, keyboards, lead guitar, lyrics, additional base line, or what ever you feel could make it better feel free to contribute in addition you may request just the individual tracks (without bass or drums) and You may download the mixed version MP3 at my mediafire account  www.mediafire.com/dougsmith  titled: Fire of Light.

  This is a little bit different genre than we have been used to and might be a lot of fun to "toy" around with.

  Thanks & Take Care;  Doug

I can give you the individual tracks. I will have to process them with audacity as mp3's and put them in a folder and the folder name will be "fire of light" I will get to it after my dinner and have them for you tonignt no problem

Thanks russ...:)

Greetings "Chordians",

  Well this is a first for me.... not being a writer (music anyway), but I kind of have a lyric that needs polishing and turned into a tune.  I'm thinking that it has kind of a "new country" feeling, but needs work to get it all together.

  So if anybody would like to take a whack at it, drop me an e-mail and I will send you the "words" along with a little background so you will have an idea of where the story came from.  Basically I have got a chorus and a few verses, might need some kind of bridge, and perhaps a few lines to tie up the loose ends.

  Sorry there is no music for with it as it just came to me this morning, and I haven't really delved into it.  But I am open to anything y'all come up with.  I guess that makes it a "poem"....  for the moment at least.

Thanks and Take Care;
  Doug

Thanks Jerome, is this MIDI kit a digital recorder kind of thinge or a program like audacity and reaper? either way I appreciate your contribution

Thanks Randy,

  Actually I thought it might be right up your alley, but knowing how busy folks are this time of year and all, I wasn't going to impose and outright try to recruit for this one.  I do have a couple more lines that came to me that I think I'll try to fit in somewhere and get the text off to you in the morning.

  Thanks again!

Thanks for clarifying this it sounds like a keyboard device offhand with a interface to a recording program that converts the output to mp3 or wav format ( i should check the link im just guessing) I have a few songs that could use some help let me sift thru my files and locate one and get back on this ok  

My turn to post a song that I'm looking for some help on completing.The song is Blacktree Road.I posted it a ways back and I have done a re-write on it. I don't plan to finish it till early 09 as Christmas is way too close.So no hurry here as there are other projects on the go also. What I'm looking for is a drummer,lead guitar,piano/keyboard and most importantly back up singers that are willing to try harmonizing.It doesn't matter what key you sing in,male, female,young or old.I will do up a rough track before Christmas with all instruments included.(mind you they will be sloppy but it will get the song across)In the rough track I will harmonize to where I would like the harmony.Send me back your tracks with the harmony and/or instruments and between them all I think we can come up with a kick^*& song.

If you don't know how to do a track there is no harm in asking....That's why we're here.

Anyone interested please Email me,my link is on the left.

Link to Blacktree Road is below

Howdy Y'all,

  First off I would like to thank all those who have offered their assistance in helping me get my little project off the ground.  I have done a little rewrite, and sent the thing off to Lord Russell for a look see, and perhaps a bit of advice.  Like I said earlier, I am not a lyricist, and as such am not sure if I have the words in anything resembling a "lyrical" format.  As soon as I have something that can be put to music I will provide copies to anyone interested.

  As to Roger's comment... Thanks for the words of encouragement, but when I was writing a lot, it wasn't intended for publication.  Most of the notes and poetry that I have jotted down over the years have been more of a "window to my soul" sort of thing.  Although I do think of many of this group of Chordians as "family", there are 220 Thousand of us.... and we are not all that close!  When and if this turns into a "song" that I think worthy of publishing, I will certainly consider posting it over in songwriting or where appropriate.  Until then to me it is just a "poem with potential" and I am merely a lyricist in training, hoping to learn a bit about how to go about writing a good lyric.

Thanks again all and Take Care;
  Doug

I'm more than happy to help any way I can. I will probly have to be taken by the hand and led through the process at first because the only thing I realy know how to do is write and play music. Sounds like a great project.

"Nobody paints by ear so why would I play guitar by sight?"

i've just had a playaround with user doug smith's fire of light song and did a different take on it, by reequalizing it making it sound more "heavy metallish", and putting a basic blues scale solo on it. I've taken the liberty of recording and uploading the results. here it is:

I don't have the pretension of having made it better just different...
