So, I'm seriously considering recording this the same way i perform live. Improved with just my voice and loop pedal.

Also, I hope it's okay that I made this thread

Of course it's okay you made the thread. After all, you are the heartbeat of this forum for sure.

It's Office-ally okay.

Do you mean Improved or Improvised? Either way, sounds good.

I'm wondering if I should do an honest-to-goodness, down-to-earth, no-messing-about song for this one. Probably depends on whether I can sing though.

You could always collaborate with someone. That's my solution.

Normally, I very much dislike long, clunky titles like this; they seem simultaneously limiting and vague. But, like the Circle of Titles prompt I received, inspiration seems to have struck nonetheless. Well, I have a concept and some lyrics. Will have to hunt for a melody.

Funny, I was just watching a whole bunch of reggie watts at work yesterday, and thinking I need to try that sometime. It'd be a great reason to justify my G.A.S. & get that Line 6 looper I've always wanted. Is there seriously not a way to do that kind of thing in Reason?

Man, I just did a song for Spintunes that would have fit this title.

I guess I'll try a different approach to it.

Reggie is who got me started.
I have the same Line 6 pedal he has, though there are others.
There's a program you can download if you're running windows called Mobius, though I've had trouble with it. There's a different program for Linux and Mac.

Having listened to MC Who Izzy's entry for "Circle Me", I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you here Kapitano.

Just for that, I'm going to offer the MC a collaboration.

MC Who Izzy, would you like a collaboration on this fight? You do the vocals, send them to me and I put some music and production stuff behind them. Right now I'm working on synthesising African drums and enormous lush strings, plucked and bowed - so they'll probably end up in the mix.

What you think?

Yay! co lab co lab co lab!

You are the heartbeat of this office for sure? Good.Lord. Uh...Noah, you're writing this one, correct? I can just sing again?

Yup. Check your messages. Congratulations, you just got promoted to FBI negotiator.

So, is this shaping up to be a collab fight? Kapitano and Who Izzy, Juliette Echo, more Billy and the Psychotics (I'm always hoping)? Who else is jumping on the collab bandwagon?

I have thought of pages of lyrics, and that is one I didn't think of!!! good plot y'all!! looking forward..

Dang it! I misread the title! I thought it said You Are the Heartbeat of This Orifice For Sure. Welp, there goes my cowboy love song.

For a cowboy love song, you need a pardner, pardner.

I'm thinking...Johnny Cashpoint?

Ujn and I will be shrugging off our usual synthpop jackets and donning our blistering, brutal hardcore pants. But I think it's been years since either one of us has entered without a collab, so... dunno if that counts.

Has been a long time for me all so. Have some new strings and a little ditty bout a hot cleaning lady.

orifice fur suuuuuuure.....
