A Number Another Summer by The World Famous

The World Famous — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:42:17 -0800

Instrumental demo written/recorded as first-takes after reading this post about the recording of The Cure's Disintegration album. Consider it a comment for the Disintegration post. And please excuse the mix, as it was hastily done. In keeping with the Disintegration theme, it begins with 8 seconds of silence.

douce nuit by nicolin

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

Short, with improvised and awkwards chunks, various mistakes, and a outro that flirts with crashlanding. Peace.

Where are we now? by at the crossroads

at the crossroads — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:24:10 -0800

a slow and blatant abuse of out of phase & out of time--- a guitar song.

The Ballad of Cherry Hill by ludwig_van

ludwig_van — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:01:45 -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.

violent night. by infinite intimation

infinite intimation — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:31:41 -0800

ok.. but what if I had played my guitar like I was closing my eyes imagining pretending to be metallica, (hey no lawsuits please some kind of monster, it truly doesn't sound like y'all at all, and only happened in pretend land. ("That's where I'm a pirate") playing silent night, while also playing a backing that sounds (a little tiny) "velouria" (ish)

A version of a traditional shanty song, recorded mono with a guitar.

My Sister the Giant by tmcw

tmcw — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:03:54 -0800

I'm doing an album this month, and this is the first thing I've recorded for it. I think the album will be mostly or completely instrumental, but we'll see.

A beepy bloop guitar song.

Halloween 97/98 by es_de_bah

es_de_bah — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:03:36 -0800

Little ditty about young love, the joys of suburban Massachusetts in autumn, and the allure of all those wonderful things behind the counter at drugstores.

Sauvie Island by Corduroy

Corduroy — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:37:27 -0800

A short, two chord song that is a true story.

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.

oslo nights by edlundart

edlundart — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:13:59 -0800

This is a quiet, meditative, minimalist instrumental piano piece, with occasional visits by vibes, fretless bass and lap steel guitar. You might want to play it somewhat loudly to hear some of the softer notes. Do you think it's finished, or should I add something?

HoverBoardzzzz by CarrotAdventure

CarrotAdventure — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 07:35:53 -0800

I imagine this as the music for one of those games where you're flying down a neon space tunnel or wormhole or something, dodging asteroids and mythical space creatures. Or maybe one of those levels in Battletoads where you're riding, well, hoverboards.

Noon to Sunset by jordanlewis

jordanlewis — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 16:25:27 -0800

Guitar, clarinet, and a sample from My Dinner with Andre. Made by my apartment-mate and I.

Handlebars by ORthey

ORthey — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:10:59 -0800

Another itty bitty ditty.

Open by The World Famous

The World Famous — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:01:49 -0800

When we're making a dance track with a solid four-on-the-floor beat, where can we go from there? Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Put it up to five. Exactly. These go to five.

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.

Cielo by Grangousier

Grangousier — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:45:00 -0800

A short guitar instrumental, written in a convent, during a heat-wave in 2003.

Won't you join us on a small journey?

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...

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.
