The SYG-artists thread: discuss each others' demos

Trasher02 · 09.09.2009, 03:49 PM

I searched and didn't find a simular thread, so here we go.
The point of this thread is that we upload the new songs/demos we've made so that others can give a second opinion.
Share tips, recording techniques and all that jazz and give constructive criticism.
Here's a little something I made today:
http://rapidshare.com/files/27783362...touch.mp3.html

Now post the latest tracks you've made!

TheMadcapLaughs · 09.09.2009, 04:24 PM

cool! i'll listen to this when i get home. my band just needs to mix the 4 songs we recorded and we will have our first demo. i will be sure to post it! GAMBLE, GAMBLE, DIE. EP COMING SOON!!!

StevOK · 09.09.2009, 09:34 PM

Cool idea! Waiting to download...

Reminds me a bit of Spacemen 3 mixed with Spiritualized. It's a little harsh/piercing for my taste, but I think I could handle it better if I were listening through the stereo instead of my lap-top. I really like the part that kicks in around 2:58.

And to be a full part of this thread, here are my two EPs and the Mozart stuff I've done:

The Nth Generation InstruMENTAL EP

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a MIDI File EP

Mozart's Symphony No. 35 in D
I. Allegro con Spirito
II. Andante
III. Menuetto - Trio
IV. Presto

Just listened to "Losing Touch" and the music reminded me of a Pixies meets Times New Viking tune. I guess the TNV comes from it being a demo and all, but I really like the way it was recorded. The vocals are pretty ace. I like the guy's voice. The breakdown at the four-minute part was the highlight for me.

Second time listening to it, I wish the vocals were a little more clear (but I understand where you're going with the murkiness). Once again, the ending is pretty damn cool.

I have a demo of 11 tracks from the summer. They all have vocals, but I wasn't comfortable with them yet, so I axed them.

Let me know what you guys think of "Summer 9."
If you like it, give the other 10 a try.

so many things wrong with those but it was fun.

stevOK - those instrumentals are awesome. they all sound so different too. what do you use?

& losing touch is dreamy

samuel · 09.09.2009, 09:47 PM

TheDom - you're right, your tunes are really fun. I love the guitar style and vocals. Honestly, keep doing what you're doing. "Fuck bitches like a man"... haha, too cool.

StevOK - downloading your stuff now.

pbradley · 09.09.2009, 09:54 PM

Too bad I deleted mine in order to install the new Mac OS.

StevOK · 09.09.2009, 09:56 PM

samuel - checked Summer 9. I really like the chords you used and the lead part. The distortion didn't quite sync up right, but it's a really cool track. It goes to a lot cool places. I want to sample or re-mix it, I think.

Dom - I really like your band! Nice blend of funk/blues with the hip-hop. I'm going to have to listen to more of it tomorrow.
I use FL Studio and whatever I happen to have lying around.

samuel · 09.09.2009, 10:04 PM

StevOK - very interesting pieces. They're something I would love to listen to on a long drive or before bed. They sort of take you somewhere else. I'm not the biggest electronics guy, but I really enjoyed listening to your tunes.

By the way, thanks for listening through Summer 9. I figured people might get bored with it in the beginning and stop. Getting this song to fit together was a pain. All my other tracks were easy as shit. I need to work on it much more.

TheMadcapLaughs · 09.09.2009, 10:59 PM

yeah losing tough sounds cool, i see the times new roman refrence, also a bit like jesus and mary chain in my opinion. overall i enjoyed it.

atsonicpark · 09.09.2009, 11:47 PM

This is a cool idea for a thread, will have to get back to it when I'm not downloading the entire erstwhile discography.

GeneticKiss · 09.10.2009, 12:13 AM

Probably the best thing I've done.

Group I'm in. some not so bad improvised ones... not bad. we're capable of much better. new recordings will be up in the coming weeks

Trasher02 · 09.10.2009, 06:12 AM

Samuel, I listened to track 9. I like the song-structure and I think it definately has potential. Would have loved to hear the vocals on it though. I like the part at 3:45 in particular.

SYRFox · 09.10.2009, 06:29 AM

Neat thread! I haven't had much time lately to write music, but here is a demo of one of my latest tracks: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zdou3em2deo

Glice · 09.10.2009, 08:19 AM

Here

Some guff I demoed for a film soundtrack that didn't make it to the final cut. I'll probably re-record the maqam at some point, but it's here for posterity.

I listened to these earlier. Personally, not my thing, but fair play for making Mozart into computer game music. I will say though, you did seem to get a lot of the volume dynamics about right, just... I don't really like any of the timbres used and there's a bit much drum (-esque) sounds on a lot of it.

Sonic Youth Gossip · 09.11.2009, 06:13 AM

If you're into electronic music then stay tuned for my album to drop.

The Lung · 09.11.2009, 06:22 AM

I like the sound of your guitar Trasher and I really like side A of your demo tape finding nobody. I'll get round to checking out everybody's stuff when I have the chance.

I was thinking about doing a whole album of freight train covers, this is the first 'demo' but is more like a total piss take
