Topic: The Music Thread

@nessisonett Thanks, I'll probably pick that one up then. What do you think of Shygirl? Her stuff seems quite hard to get hold of.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I have to say I wasn’t familiar with her but people seem to be loving her new album. It’s right up my street too so I’ll be sure to check it out.

GRIZZLY BEAR!

Their best albums (in random order) are Painted Ruins, Shield, Veckatimest, Yellow House.

If you're bored and you have 14 hours spare here's my best music of 2020 playlist. If I was reviewing it I would give it a solid 8 and complain about the lack of a truly classic track, but I'd be sympathetic because of covid.

Some sexy babes with bikinis at the snowy place. The song also featured on DDR SuperNOVA.

@Kidfried Which album(s) do you like by the grizzlies?

@nessisonett What do you think about GFOTY and some of her admittedly "nonsense" views?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I do like her music but then I’m a big fan of the PC Music label in general, way before the 100 gecs ‘fans’ started pretending to enjoy the music. GFOTY essentially is an idiot. PC Music is mostly satirical but GFOTY chose her punchline very badly, when you take all her snarky comments out of context then it looks like just really nasty things to say, especially about black artists. It’s less that she holds nonsense views and more that’s she’s rather clumsy and not particularly good at creating satire, in that she takes certain things too far and picks her targets extremely poorly.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic
I like 80's Remix of modern songs and most of them sounds much better than original.
This is one example of 80's Remix i like.

@nessisonett
What do you think with that 80's remix Lady Gaga song ? 😉

@Anti-Matter It’s interesting because they’ve taken the instrumental track of Sabrina’s Boys Boys Boys, an Italian Disco classic, and then put Lady Gaga’s song over the top. Certainly would have taken a lot of work!

@johncalmc @Kidfried @nessisonett @Draco_V_Ecliptic I made a rock tune for you all! (I'm a techno head so if it's bad I'm sorry)

@themcnoisy that's very cool. Not what I was expecting, but very cool

@themcnoisy Every time I see these tunes made in Dreams it blows my mind. It really is quite impressive!

@themcnoisy Shades of Meat Loaf I feel, who is playing the guitar? It is quite epic. Which artist(s) inspired you for the track?

@nessisonett
Oh, usually i listen to Happy tunes, 80's Retro, Futuristic tunes, Eurobeat.
But, i also interested with this dark song from DDR UNIVERSE XBOX 360.

@Kidfried thanks man I had y'all in mind when I went this route.

@nessisonett The last track I made is arguably good enough to sit on a game. I am going to upload it later but as it's over 5 minutes share factory doesn't like it lol. Get back on it Nes I can show you the ropes!

@Draco_V_Ecliptic So in Dreams we run jams. RAKeogh (a dreamer) made a few tracks and opened his vault basically to remix. I extracted a couple of bits, made my own drum loops. Then used filters to create that guitar pedal effect. I adjusted a few riffs so it became sad rather than happy and hired Masher. He came up with the lyrics when I sent a brief about grief. Once the lyrics were down I set about tweaking the volumes added the bass and added the flair sounds, the slight hi hats and continuity snip (just after the first chorus). Had a bit of difficulty and absolutely wrecked the initial mix of vocals to the track when I put an eq on top. So individually had to tweak the wave forms. Then it was ready.

My inspiration for going this way was this PushSquare forum. I rarely listen to rock as it just wasn't my scene growing up, you could say my taste in music is overground and commercial (BeeGees, Queen, Diana Ross then House, Techno and more recently hip hop). So yeah this is on you guys!

@themcnoisy Good work man! I haven’t seen (or heard) many Dreams creations but the stuff you post is so impressive.

@Thrillho I'm just uploading some of my recent stuff. Just wait until you hear this stuff I've made for a game!

@Thrillho here you go. The best tune I will ever make;
