Last hittin' stuff question (for now, heh): bowing a cymbal? It's a great shriek, but it ain't quite "hittin' ", y'know?

That would still be percussion, I believe. You're not hitting anything when shaking a maraca but that's percussion too, right?

Yes, percussion can also be shaken or scraped. (See also: eggshakers, washboard). I see no reason to rule out a bowed cymbal.

I've got something based on the title, but written on guitar. And so the "challenge" begins...

Cool, thanks Jon.

Here's a line you guys should use:

if orange is the new black
then your face is the new ugly

Every time there's a restrictive challenge I think of these guys.

got a busy rest of the weekend so had to rush and finish mine up today - just sent it in . happy to have come up with something, I was close to giving up when this idea came to me.

Rabid Garfunkel · Post by **Rabid Garfunkel** » Sat May 17, 2014 2:50 pm

On the plus side, finally got my Miroslav Philharmonik to play nice with Logic (mostly)… all those choral voices!

On the minus side, the original Jerry Goldsmith-y idea (he did some amazing stuff on The Omen and Planet of the Apes scores with voice and percussion) is shot to hell, and it's starting to sound like an imaginary ice-skating scene from the non-existent Danny Elfman Christmas special.

With Mellotron choir.

At least I gave up on a Morricone homage early, heh. Nur Ein!

A long as JonEric is clarifying - I am also assuming that informal percussion is also ok - pounding on boxes - stuff like that.

I'm in.

Bring it on.

Bring your sense of humor. Or lighten up, Frances.

ha! I don't use auto-tune ... it's melodyne

furrypedro · Post by **furrypedro** » Sun May 18, 2014 1:25 pm

I'm all kinds of in.

Liner notes:
the Balance Lost track includes - Floor tom, glockenspiel, tambourine, egg shaker, hand claps, sampled drums from Love Drops by Barry Allen, many layers of Petey G's silky smooth vocals.

noma · Post by **noma** » Sun May 18, 2014 2:43 pm

Just sent mine in. I listed the instruments I used (some of which are rather, um, unconventional) in the lyric section.

Rabid Garfunkel · Post by **Rabid Garfunkel** » Sun May 18, 2014 2:56 pm

In. Weird fuckin' track. Went nuts with the Miroslav Philharmonik choir voices and cling-clangy metal percussion, and a Mellotron choir patch too. But it's all voices, even if some of the harmonics and such make it sound not so (aside from the drums/percussion, I mean).

Nur Ein!

chocolatechips · Post by **chocolatechips** » Sun May 18, 2014 3:30 pm

mine's got vocals (lots of vocals - all recorded for this track, not samples) and lots of drums along with glockenspiel, marimba, and celesta (all in the struck idiophone list that Jon Eric posted earlier in the thread)

BenKrieger · Post by **BenKrieger** » Sun May 18, 2014 5:28 pm

in. lyrics posted. nur ein.

Manhattan Glutton · Post by **Manhattan Glutton** » Sun May 18, 2014 5:57 pm

I'm really pushing the deadline with this one. You'll all be happy I did.

I was able to synthesize instruments rather well with FX.

I'm up to 88 tracks but like half of them are discarded junk.

ken · Post by **ken** » Sun May 18, 2014 8:12 pm

I have about 30 tracks: hand claps, close vocals, far vocals, electronic drums and claps, acoustic drum kit, Vibraphone, Glockenspiel, Agogo, shakers, and goat toes.

Now I have track envy... Maybe seven on mine. Game on!
