Open Source ILF Collab 2016 -- Album Finished

[popvulture]

Or Gunther Covering Yanni (and vice versa) on meth. I oscillate between the two.

Live at the Necropolis?

[D.o.S.]

dis gon be good.

thanks for organizing, sorry i couldn't make the time.

for me personally it's not just having 30 minutes to spare and simply doing it, i gotta find the vibe, and that's hard to do with other pressing matters at hand.

like i said before, i made a track using sounds from you guys, but incorporated other stuff too, so i didn't feel it would be okay to submit it. it was a kind of starting point, but i never got further.

that's just the samples, the op-1 and 1 synthesizer mode in there.

Bowwwwwwwww

This is pretty rad.

V1 masters done. Some tracks changed more drastically than others, this is because they were all mastered to sound cohesive tonally as a whole album. For using the same sounds, they all sounded pretty damn different.

Expect a pm with a Dropbox link soon. All files are currently 24/48k wav files, if you need a smaller download size, let me know.

edit: All pm's sent, let me know if you didn't get one.

D-Rod is the man! Downloading now, looking forward to hearing teh tracks in all their splendor.

[popvulture]

Really fucking great, y'all! I've only listened through once but really dig the tracks. Lots of variety! Particularly enjoyed Oscillateur and Spacelord's tracks sequenced back to back

[D.o.S.]

Also, obviously everyone can do what they want with this (aside from, you know, sell it for obscene amounts of cash without giving us all a cut), but I'll be throwing it up on bandcamp for free for the folks who want to check it out that weren't involved with the project later today.

[DRodriguez]

Also, please credit me (David Rodriguez) under mastering and send me a link if you release it anywhere else. Thanks!

I think I'm going to upload my drum sounds here in case any one wants to steal them for something.

Just listening now to a few tracks, I love it! Nice work everyone, hard to believe they all come from the same samples.

[D.o.S.]

Speaking of which, who used what? I'm not near my desktop at the moment, but I'll definitely post what I used when I get home.

[DRodriguez]

Oh shit, I used a bunch. The only thing is when I got my drum sounds I wasn't keeping track, the rest should be easy to figure out though.

My process for the drums was cut out each and every percussive-ish sound I could find, and then fucked with them all. Keep the ones I liked.

Just need to hear back from D.o.S., Aquietcabin1978, ognoy. Everyone else gave the green light I believe.

[popvulture]

I'll go back over my file and see what I used. IIRC I had a fairly short list, about half a dozen samples.

[ognoy]

Green light here as well!

So I used 4 main synths and then a whole bunch of drum sounds. Do to some shitbags in the real estate I was renting, the actual track was done expediently. One day was sound design and beat making, second day weeks later wa where all the writing came out. So it was a bit overly pop-y and cheery, but that’s all I had in me that evening. And then an evening after work to mix it all.

Intro Loop: SpacelordMother and Vidret on a loop.

Synth 1 - Bass: A Combination of 4 voices. My sample with all the notes, Vidret’s bass sample, jrmy echo bent sample, and one of D.o.S.’ samples

Synth 2 - Pad: The main one in the verse(?) was a combination of both of
D.o.S.’ samples and Oscillateur’s

Synth 3 (vocalish wah): SpaceLordMother, D.o.S. and PV samples combined and run through rhythmically automated effects

Synth 4 Lead (labeled flute in my session, lol): vidret, Aquietcabin1978, and Oscillateur all processed together.

Drums I’ll sort out later, because thats going to take a while. I ended up with 32 different sounds and they’re all labeled things like scratch 1_hi, barrel crash, and jackhammer.

But I took bits and pieces from most of them. I just spent like 20 minutes playing with the kit right now. Best thing to come from my track.

And vidret, that track is rad.

[Eivind August]

Let's see...

Small slices of Popvulture's drums are running through most of it, run through a slow flanger and some filtery stuff too make it sound even drummier.

Beginning: Deltaphoenix through harmonizing reverb-thingy.

Middle: Oscillateur laying down heavy synth, Spacelordmother making ambient soundscapes, featuring jrmy on space bass.

End: Monkeydancer playing hard ass bass synth, D.o.S jumping in with a cute lil' repeating riff, and goroth shredding the fuck out.


Been busy all day, going to finally listen to this now. Stoked!

I tend mostly to find sounds I like and set things up in a system so they evolve over time. My submission is an excerpt of the original recording which was about 20min long.

Here are the tracks with notes:

EA1 - run through reverb, delay, auto-filter, and auto-pan as background ambience.
PV_ILF_Sample_01- run through eq to highlight that particular part of the drums with delay, auto-filter, and auto-pan. Filter and pan are on LFOs so the sound changes tone and position. This became the central element of the piece.
ProCarsten2BarBlastixSmoothBeat - again: run through reverb, delay, auto-filter, and auto-pan as background ambience.
ProCarstenWeirdStick - grabbed a tiny slice of this, running through a resonator and a granular delay as background ambience.
Vidret2 - run through a resonator with a jagged volume envelope for low background irregular rhythm
Vidret2 - put into a sampler and played chromatically with midi. 4 different short midi note variations playing one after the other in random order repeating.
Vidret2 - put into a sampler and played chromatically with midi. 2 different longer midi note variations playing in random order (not always switching to the next -- sometimes repeating multiple times.)

All of the tracks we run in varying amounts through 2 send channels -- one modulated reverb and one convolution reverb.

I really wanted to try to work in into more of a "song" but then again it "sounded like me" so I just went with it. Looking forward to hearing the rest! Thanks to DoS for the idea and coordination, and DRod for the mastering!
