Re: Aural Moon Band
What exactly are we talking about doing here. We have many options. Do we want to put together a CDR? Or do we want to jsut do a few songs together? Roger has some pretty complete music (to my ears) and if he's willing, we can start filling up a CDR, depending on how things flow together...JT has a tune, others might also. We can also try a group effort composition...

Re: Aural Moon Band
Hi!
At first - I sing & play background acoustic guitar (yep, brave words, I know ) ) And at second - what about starting with some cover first? Something easy, commonly known, Comfortably Numb or anything like that? Take care!! |

Re: Aural Moon Band
With a cover "the band" could practise recording, mixing and communicating. Then when the real thing comes lots of tears of frustation will hopefully be spared

Re: Aural Moon Band
Well, if we want to put something together and maybe have it played on the Moon, I'm not sure if we can do a cover for that purpose without paying royalties...anyone know?

Re: Aural Moon Band
I'm interested. I play guitar and bass and some keys, but mostly guitar. I can sing fairly well, too. I've got a ProTools rig at my disposal, but no internet connection in the studio.
I'm curious as to how to deal with audio file portability and transfer - any ideas? Borfus www.myspace.com/borfuswallabymusic www.myspace.com/studiohband www.everydayprophets.com Last edited by Borfus : 06-26-2008 at 04:34 PM. |

Re: Aural Moon Band
I've heard some of your material- Roger, Kirk, Borfus and others, and know the ideas and playing is very good, so this can be interesting to mix up all these styles!
As to transfer of files, we can use www.yousendit.com ...works rather well and free (free account file size cannot be larger than 100 M). |

Re: Aural Moon Band
Wow, this is pretty cool, great responses from everyone. I mainly play bass as you all know. as far as heading this up, I have never done that. Maybe there is a way to have a conference call of some sort to talk it over and see what comes of up?

Re: Aural Moon Band
I offer my lyric writing capabilities. I have a drum set and am willing to play but still a novice in terms of recording. Last time this subject arose I wrote "Earth Without the Moon" which I'll post again. And I can certainly write something to any composed musical ideas...

Re: Aural Moon Band
This is pasted from a thread a few years back...and I don't think any Moonies would steal my lyrics, but I have copyrighted them...
Third verse picks up the tempo; "interconnected orbits" is staccato and bridges into an instrumental section; "goodbye satellite" begins the resolution completed with the last half verse... "Gazing at the stars leads to galactic aspirations Howling at the moon became our lunar inspiration But all within the solar system’s slightly out of tune When we consider earth without the moon Ancient lore and relics buried deep within the ground Illuminate and demonstrate the wisdom we have found A message from the ancients carved in stone in mystic runes Never live on earth without the moon Geopolitical altercations are a hyperactive display Pessimists always predicting radioactive decay Looking back I’ll have to say it ended all too soon If we end up on earth without the moon Interconnected orbits Tides of history Growing concentric circles Escape velocity Good bye Satellite We will miss your light Sanctify the night God, it felt so right Someday in the future we’ll emerge from our cocoon And recreate our earth within the moon" |

Not that my edits are any better, but they kinda tie it into the recent RIAA threat, of course I don't know what was in your head when you wrote it. Got any music to go with the lyrics yet?

Re: Aural Moon Band
If I recall all the experiences I made with www.thebeardedsproject.de I think it's very important that there is a "nucleus" of some people who really want to put something together. We had a bunch of guys who were determined to bring it to a good end even if it gets difficult. It's about dedication, compromises and the ability to be a teamplayer. And it's about respect.
It's not always been easy but I had lots of good times being a part of The Bearded's Project. And I learned so much !!! If you take part in a project like this you'll be able to exchange knowledge and experience with other musicians. So it's also a chance for everyone to improve their sound, their mixing abilities, their songwriting and so on. ... and if it works it will make all the members very very proud, maybe some of them will become very good friends. That's what happened with our project. Kind regards, hans |

Re: Aural Moon Band
To add to what Hans says, there needs to be a leader or a decision group.

Re: Aural Moon Band
Yes, Rick, that's another important thing. Just one example: someone will have to mix the whole thing. This job is important and difficult. Everyone has to give his or her tracks into the hands of this person and everyone has to accept what "the producer" will make it sound like in the end. That has to be made clear. Everyone can make suggestions, everyone can throw in his ideas, but at the end of the day you do have to accept the mixing guy's (or gal's) decision even if it's not sounding like you want it to. Otherwise it won't work.
