in an aisle seat by es_de_bah

Greasy rock song about falling asleep in passenger seats. I could use some help with this. Ok, this is my first attempt at recording with real drums. While I'm happy to finally post something featuring my insanely talented little brother, Mike, I'm sorry to say that the drum recording I started out with was awful and I'm not sure I've made it any better. If anyone has some insight as to what can be fixed and how, or some tips on cheap/lo-fi/hopelessly inept home drum recording, I'd love to hear them.

run to you (bryan adams cover) by edlundart

edlundart — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:46:46 -0800

No, seriously. Just for fun, I decided to do this cover song to test out some drum stuff. Thought I'd share this while I work on some new songs...

Enceladus by surrendering monkey

surrendering monkey — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 07:01:22 -0800

Originally planned as a mix between 70's J.M. Jarre and Steve Reich. Turns out to be more like Giorgio Moroder teaming with Tangerine Dream, on a bad day.

we wrote this song at our space a week or so ago.

Frog versus Toad (Are Part Of A Zombie Bot Army From The Future) by The World Famous

The World Famous — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:29:27 -0800

Two chords: Em and G. But don't worry. You're not part of the Zombie Bot Army. Because Frog and Toad are. And they're staying up all night drinking and having snacks at a bar with PB.

Rescuer (cleaner mix) by NemesisVex

NemesisVex — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:44:35 -0800

Finally -- a MeFiMusic Challenge I can do! Or rather have done. I actually posted this song before, but I've since gone back and cleaned up the EQ and gated some of the noise from the vocal. The two chords used are D and E.

Boots of Righteous Defense by dobie

dobie — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 17:31:29 -0800

The first finished recording for my band's new album.

The Garden of Forking Paths by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 10:40:52 -0800

Just another folk-rock song about Jorge Luis Borges.

Shutterbug by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 11:43:40 -0800

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, la la la, la la la la. The new hit single from Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies. A chamber-pop meditation on time, aging, and death.

come here (aberdeen) by edlundart

edlundart — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 19:08:33 -0800

This started as a weird tune with pseudo-Indian wailing/cat meowing vocals, guitar feedback, and a one-note sitar solo. It still has those elements, but the track ended up being an almost radio-friendly, catchy (?) pop-rock thing.

stopping by woods by edlundart

edlundart — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:00:20 -0800

Back in either middle school or high school, in music class, I wrote my very first melody with a classmate named Mathias Knutzen. The assignment was to take a text from one of our books and create a song with it. We chose Robert Frost's poem and came up with this pseudo-jazzy tune. I always liked it, so I kept the "digital chord sheet" around and played it from time to time. More than 15 years later, here now is a brand new recorded version -- complete with brushed drums and falsetto background vocals.

Martial Family by idiopath

Free Jazz. Five trumpets, five drums.

Traps by onehalfjunco

onehalfjunco — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 16:20:27 -0800

A song about how humans fool pests to kill them, from the pest's point of view. Made today in 2 hours.

Rescuer by NemesisVex

NemesisVex — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 18:17:34 -0800

Strings, drums, two chords and lyrics vaguely inspired by the '80s TV show "The Equalizer". Also, big rip-off of Craig Armstrong.

Certain Death by frenetic

frenetic — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:31:13 -0800

A cheery song off my new album Out of It.

Colours of Islam by dobie

Part of the August Wildcard Challenge.

undulate underling by edlundart

edlundart — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:02:20 -0800

A short, lyrically strange new song partly based on a dream.

casanova ruins by edlundart

edlundart — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:26:16 -0800

I was walking around in the garment district at night on valentine's day years ago, and spotted a beautiful woman walking alone across the street. Despite being glamorously dressed up, she looked like she had lost all faith in men. She was carrying a heart-shaped balloon and huge flowers. This song is sort of about that.

The Stranger by dobie

dobie — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:09:42 -0800

Demo of a song that my band is in the process of recording for our album.

Untold Demons by NemesisVex

NemesisVex — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:44:57 -0800

I unearthed the very first song I wrote in 1986 and flinched at all the clueless chord progressions my 14-year-old self used. But I could sense some potential behind a few of the ideas. So I reworked it extensively and brought out more of the subliminal inspiration that went into: mid-'80s Heart.

Bucketful of Money by strangeguitars

strangeguitars — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 06:36:32 -0800

A characterization of a rich womanizing pimpy kind of guy.

Hated By Girls by snsranch

snsranch — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:47:12 -0800

This is some kind of punk, and my girls, (wife and her best friend) did the vocals. This is fun! Enjoy!

Even Then by sleepy pete

What if Wolverine decided to become a carpenter?

Crossing Over by Randy Curtis

Randy Curtis — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 05:28:16 -0800

A short poem spoken with keyboard, percussion, and guitar Darkness falls in the middle of the day, We look to the sky and lord we pray, Darkness grows near, And all those who are dear, Floods the lands with tears, Not a moment to soon, For all men are destin for doom, Come cross over, All are welcome
