nicolin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 14:37:24 -0800

This is the lead-off track from the forthcoming EP, Labyrinths, by Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies, to be released 1/7/10. It's a wistful slice of indie-pop about insomnia, suburban isolation, and the boredom of hometowns.

The Undiscovered Country Song by saulgoodman

saulgoodman — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:18:49 -0800

A quiet song about looking around for all the people you've misplaced over the years. Guitar, piano, cello, recorded live using a field recorder. Vocals overdubbed later at home. Unreleased from a new Tangemeenie side-project my wife Lori will eventually also contribute vocals to, called "The Wishing Well Divers."

Broken Wheel (skelp version) by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:37:44 -0800

Having used my current DAW for the last 3 years, and spending countless hours re-recording tracks that were too slow, I finally discover that it does have a varispeed function. Just how fucking dumb is that.......?

Cover of a Byrds cover of an old Louvin Brothers song.

Reincarnation Blues by crapples

crapples — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:12:24 -0800

What I would sound like if I were trying to sound like Bob Dylan - if Dylan were simultaneously "bringin' it" and "keepin' it real".

Haunted by anthom

anthom — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:16:28 -0800

For my first MeFiMu post, I decided to whip up a recording of this bit o'sad bastard piano balladry. It's a rough recording, all pretty much first takes, but I think it works well enough. (And no, despite the title, this is not a Halloween challenge entry.)

Broken Wheel (edit) by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:22:51 -0800

Turbocharged acoustic. Love and regret. So it goes.

The Bottom Falls Out of the Clouds (demoriffic version) by rangefinder 1.4

rangefinder 1.4 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:59:39 -0800

cortex was kind enough to let me borrow the lyrics from his song "The Bottom Falls Out of the Clouds" (which he wrote for the first ever MeFi Music Challenge), and allow me to set them to new folky/acoustic/lo-fi music for this month's challenge.

The Comfort Of Strangers (Eleanor Says) by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:58:26 -0800

Slow Time by ignignokt

ignignokt — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 19:40:34 -0800

An abandoned demo that starts light, gets heavier, and ends slow.

Make Your Mind Up! by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 04:35:30 -0800

A modest and lightweight acoustic ditty wherein dad inserts pipe, ruminatively scratches his arse and proceeds to patronise wayward offspring....

first step by edlundart

edlundart — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:24:01 -0800

An instrumental track that went under the working title "pseudo-eastern." Most prominently features guitars, lap steel, fretless bass and programmed sitar sounds. The subtle percussion is a spinner ring kind of like this one, run through a healthy dose of reverb.

Andrita Street by ford and the prefects

ford and the prefects — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 01:59:17 -0800

Demo for a song about my neighborhood here in Los Angeles...with mouth trumpet!

If I Fell by gfrobe

gfrobe — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 08:38:10 -0800

Beatles cover recorded with my 6 year old daughter a few years back. Voice is a bit pitchy throughout but give me a break, I was only 40 at the time.

snake (demo) by edlundart

edlundart — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:06:39 -0800

Another entry in my recent demo series of posts. I posted a not-quite-done version of the track here, featuring piano and overly heavy drums. It's a song about the old classic video game "Snake". I'm sure I'll revisit the "proper" recording some day, but in the meantime, this is a nice performance.

Runnin' by kingbenny

kingbenny — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:24:01 -0800

In a huge creative drought for awhile, I found this old thing I wrote and recorded years ago. When I was new to Garageband.

Hidden by MajorDundee

MajorDundee — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:10:11 -0800

Very little idea what this is really about....but it sounds like something written by a slightly loopy obsessive. That'll be me then....

come careening (demo) by edlundart

edlundart — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:13:42 -0800

This is the demo I recorded for this song posted earlier. I slapped some kind of distortion effect over it to approximate the feel I wanted in the final version. Although it's too hazy-sounding and the vocals are nearly unintelligble, I really love a lot of things about this recording. It sounds like some kind of important uncovered secret to me. Anyway, this post is part of an "evolution of my songs" series I started here and here.
