Adding Head Joint

[skitzdout]

im a musician in a band called head joint..we mainly do experimental/ambient/prog rock songs. i was just wondering if you guys can add my prog rock song called Helios Rag. it is 18 minutes long and is my favorite song of all our songs. also is an instrumental track. best listened too with headphones for the full effects of the song. playing a song in the soundcloud player doesnt work for surround sound..better to just download and listen if using surround sound...this song and all our other track were made with 5.1 surround sound in mind so really does work better that way but still good enough in stereo for people with a couple of speakers..hope you guys enjoy.

here is a link to the Helios Rag Mp3.

Pretty good! How did you get into the EVE online stuff?

Dave

[skitzdout]

thanks Dave...i just happened to go back to playing eve online after not playing for like 5 years...once in game i found that they had not made any new music for the game for years..the game had a playlist of 61 songs..so i decided to add more to it for people who like the original soundtrack.. i started making the songs back in june i think..made 101 songs for the game in total since i started..the album Beyond The Home World will consist of at least 121 songs maybe more depends on my musical moods ha...

skitzdout, Jim has literally hundreds of cds pouring in. Between demos, donations, and freebies sent directly by labels and bands, he's got a stack to work through. IIRC, he uses a FIFO method. I'm sure he'll check your stuff out, but it may be a bit.

In the meantime, how would you feel about my playing some of it on the DRH?

[skitzdout]

heya Spaz...ya i know Jim would be really busy with the music he already has..not a big deal for me...im a patient person...if you could playing something on DRH that would be awesome..do you have a song in mind? as well as what length of song are you looking for so i can go through my list and find something that fits in with your set? you can just go through my songs and download the song directly from my soundcloud page...dont need an account on SC to download..the first 5 songs are prog and then the rest of the 100 or so songs are ambient pieces..thanks much...cheers

skitz, length is irrelevant and so is trying to match a set. Just tell me the names of ten or so that you want played and I'll take it from there.
