Seeking Solace I: Project ΛCSII [go buy it noow ]

[topitmunkeydog]

Well the only person who was wondering was Gray Ham, and I'm sure he has a valid reason for including profanity. I just wanted to tell everyone not to use too much of it, for future reference.

[Ed Viper]

If you guys need any more mods for the tumblr you've set up, I'd be willing to do that.

I also thought I'd have a month before I needed to start advertising this, but NOPE. I'll see what I can do there as well.

[LFP]

Lovely project <3

[topitmunkeydog]

Ed, can you be a judge? That is what we really need now.

[Acsii]

Ed, PM me your email and I'll add you to the tumblr

[topitmunkeydog]

Hey do y'all mind if I call the song I'm writing for this album "seeking solace"?

[Acsii]

You're the creating of the album so I think you have all the rights to do it

[topitmunkeydog]

Has anybody started work on their song yet?

[topitmunkeydog]

Aw shut up that's super pretty :3
Is the speech recording supposed to hypnotise people? Lol, that's a great idea. Be sure you have all the permissions to use that sound clip though.
Keep up the good work

[topitmunkeydog]

I double posted :C
I might as well say I'm hoping to start work on mine tomorrow. Too bad I still don't know Abelton. It's probably going to be mostly acoustic then.

[topitmunkeydog]

Well i really like the idea. if you like it enough to keep it I'd suggest getting someone to do the same thing for this specifically. Or ask the maker of the video I'm sure they would oblige.
Or maybe you should go the less direct route. As it is right now it's a bit too "yoga tape" if you know what I mean. Idk this criticism is totally unsolicited and what's more I'm bit even sure what I'm trying to say :/

[topitmunkeydog]

Ew. I like it less now :C
Jk I was thinking, maybe you should find like some mantras from Bhuddist text and base it off of those.
The thing you linked is nice, but it's kinda aggressive. I prefer what you have so far.

[Ducks Unlimited]

I'm really down for submitting something for this, but more so I'd love to judge if you still need (or want) people for that. Lemme know

[ghelded_kultz]

Use a reading from the Guru Granth Sahib. It's less cliche than Buddhist mantras but still has that mystical feel to it.

[topitmunkeydog]

That's also cool. And the Dao De Ching is also really really pretty.
Lol this is a really strange tangential conversation.

[topitmunkeydog]

Ok a bit of news
I just sent an email to this one musician called hrmnzr idk how famous she is but probably pretty famous because she works with Michael Guy Bowman from homestuck
ANYWAY... hrmnzr is interested in doing the album! This is great that we're getting a myriad of pretty well-known artists on board. Again, if you personally know any (or if you are) then please try getting them to contribute something. The deadline's approaching and we don't have any submissions yet...

June 15!! Good luck, everybody!

[Acsii]

Question: If I have a song that I'm working on for my EP can I submit it to this?
Because I feel it works well for the idea behind this album

[Freewave]

I kind of came up with something for this a month or two ago and don't want to forget about it. Was thinking of maybe a simple Jack Johnston kinda guitar type thing, haven't done anything further then write it down. It's kind of a light hearted approach at this sensitive subject but putting it into pony terms too (especially for all those youngsters out there who might not even understand the project). I don't know if people will like it but it just made sense to me in terms of taking a popular fannon meme and relating it to this project.

Fixing Futashy
==========
I have a friend
someone i want to help
I hope you give this a listen
got little to do with myself

She's stuck with a body
that she didn't pick out
parts that stick in
when they should stick out

She's really depressed
because she doesn't have breasts
And it makes her want to cry
that's why i'm helping fix Futashy

solo

It's easy to feel complete
with a body that's all your own
but when you have someone else's
it must make you feel so alone

She's stuck with a body
that's different from what's within
parts that stick out
when they should stay in

She's really depressed
cause she was born with a penis
And it all makes her want to cry
that's why i'm helping fix Futashy

solo

good? crap?

[Sonarch]

If I can get going with my music production this summer like i'm hoping i'd love to contribute a song for this

For you it's ok probably because it's just like the money is going to the same person anyways but if anyone else has a similar case please run it by us first.

LolFreewave that's...um... interesting... I'm not familiar with the meme so I have no idea what futa shy means but the rest of it makes sense. You did a pretty good job keeping it all audiences maybe talk a little about like mental stuff as well though. the last stanza doesn't seem to fit the rest of the rhyme scheme too.
I like the idea of Jack Johnson thing. I don't know his music well but I like singer-songwriter anti-folk acoustic guitar sorts of music. That would go well with the album.
Good luck!

Wiki (NSFW)

[topitmunkeydog]

OH GOD WHY
I DID NOT NEED TO SEE THAT PIC
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm starting to think that maybe the song isn't the most appropriate thing. But you know what, people who have more knowledge of this should make a decision. I'm probably over-reacting based on the wikipedia article, but I am not a fan of rule 34.

EDIT: I see now there is a NSFW tag on the link but there wasn't one when I clicked on it, unknowingly. But thanks anyways :3

In other words I am still trying to get motivated to start on this. No idea which direction I should go in with this thing.

Omg perfect

[Acsii]

Futashy herself is mostly SFW

[topitmunkeydog]

OK ACSII says it's ok so go with it Freewave. Actually seems like a pretty funny song now that I get the reference.
