I've got some awesome lyrics ready to go. Now I need to buy a microphone! You won't be disappointed.

This song sounds very happy-happy and it's very simple. Can we start from scratch again?

We'll need more tracks anyway if we want to publish a full CD, so make a second one!

This first song is great for the radio single. :o

That's muzak mainly because it's midi. And maybe because of the Pachelbel-like chord progression

it's all about context. ;)

You were right!
Any more lyrics to that? I was thinking of a chorus with "Allegro.cc blablabla... Allegro.cc yadayada... Allegro.cc etc". Btw, how do you exactly pronounce allegro.cc? I would say "Allegro see see". Do we need the "dot" there?

A chorus needs a chorus, right? Three voices would do the allegro thing.

It's pretty slow and empty. I'm not very musical, so filling in the blanks is a bit difficult.

Haha, that's great. But just piling on top of an MP3 isn't going to sound too good. We need to give out our stuff as solo wav files (or whatever).

Quote:

Sorry, but I ran out of music! Put together a full length thing with a chorus spot and an instrumental solo for our guitarists et al, and I'm sure the words will write themselves.

We need Tobias and his awesome trombone, too.

Trombones are cool. Do we have any trumpets? Violins?

By the way, when we are done with this song, we need to make a music video too. 8-)

I've written a few songs worth of lyrics in the past... I might be able to contribute to lyrics...

Also, apparently midi is not a Linux friendly format. >:(

(No, I did not read the whole thread yet... I came in late and just found all instances of "lyrics" in the thread :P)

Any track that gets recorded should be done without the backgrounds getting into it. The backgrounds may be midi as long as we're recording different tracks like vocals, guitars, any added instruments. But it would be great to have the drums and bass recorded, too. If not, the drum track should probably anyhow be re-programmed by someone with a good sense of drum things.

[edit]
This is what the whole structure could be like:
intro
verse 1
verse 2
chorus
intro-like bridge back to...
verse 3
chorus
solo
chorus X times, fade or outro

It's an interesting process when a song is born. Some lyric writers need the music, some can't write any lyrics to music already done. Some composers need lyrics to compose, some can't compose to lyrics written. Some lyric writers can't write the lyrics to given music if it doesn't have a title ready.

Should bamccaig post his music here with or without titles?

I got bored too... :-/ Ok... So I guess I'll contribute a little... ;)

I changed some of the midi file and then turned it back into audio with some pro equipment. I've attached the modified midi file, a mixdown of the midi to audio and a third file... Well the third one isn't that great... If I had the other instruments and vocals as separate tracks I could make a better mixdown... But the plain midi version sounds a little more like RPG music now ::).... Just give me tracks and I'll mix and master an allegro hit ;D

[edit] The piano is a little rough but it works...
