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

[Acsii]

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

Here's the tumblr
slightly NSFW

"slightly"

Wherever you work, I'm jealous of their internet policy.

[topitmunkeydog]

That means 18 possible contributors so far!! Sweet!

Also, who is technically on the review panel besides me, abby, and cyrricky? Lotsa people seem to want to help judge but I think 3 is enough. I should probably edit that in the original post.

Thanks it's a pretty popular NSFW meme so I'm hoping people get the references (and i know an easy and thoughful and censored way to do a pmv too). While there's a popular version that has A dog-sized pet that lives with a humanized lesbian rainbow dash and pinkie pie i actually MEANT more of a humanized version in mind of course. Futa simply means a female who also has a penis. I think flipping it on its head from something generally funny & erotic to something funny but sad and thoughtful would be nice. After all we know how our fluttershy should be, all female.

Anyway glad its been greenlit, i just need to find an acoustic guitarist or find a way to fake it now. gah.

[topitmunkeydog]

Oh darn I thought you actually could play the guitar... I can play the ukulele, but I don't know if you would like that...
If you don't even have access to an acoustic guitar, I'd say make something electronic with the same feel as an acoustic folk song. If you've ever heard any music by The Postal Seevice maybe something in that style would be cool.
Idk just follow your heart

[Acsii]

depending on the difficulty of the finger picking I may be able to do the guitar

[Sonarch]

Dude I do guitar things, so I might also be able to contribute, assuming I have a mic. And I can learn the song... But yeah.

I put myself forward aaaaggggesss ago, but if you don't need me, I'll see if I can't scrape together a song :3

Yeah let me keep you or others posted. i sent a pm to Soldat on skype and while we have mutual friends i don't know if he'll have the time or want (but the guy is awesome if he can) to work on this and another folk track. I'll keep people posted in here if i can't find anyone soon that i directly know as i do want this to happen.

[Freewave]

talked to soldat about this track and another and he'll do it. i should be good to go forth.

[Acsii]

Sweet
Also on a side note: The song that I mentioned about also using for this album as well as my EP is finished

[Acsii]

Submitted :3

[topitmunkeydog]

yo the submission form seems to be working properly so yay! One submission is in and hopefully many more will be!

[Lying Pink]

I was having troubles coming up with ideas for this and now in the space of a day I have 2. One of them is just a normal music thing but the other is an idea for a spoken word piece I had. Would that be admissible? Or too far off the whole "music" brief? (Edit: It'd probably have some kind of ambient-y minimal trip-hop type backing, but heavy on the trip, light on the hop, lest people think it's a really out of time rap track rather than a poem with music behind it)

[Acsii]

Hmmmm

[Freewave]

You know what, Soldat might be busier then he's letting on (he's working on album currently) and i was doing my R&R track all week. I'm gonna reach back out but there's a very strong chance it hasn't gone anywhere yet and i don't want it to sit in limbo. Especially if i primarily need a guitarist to get it back on track. ACSII and Sonarch if you can still help with that we might want to roll in that direction. I got the same name on skype.

School is slightly time-consuming.
And by slightly, I mean very.

Yeah, me too would you like me to remove you from the "list"?

remember you can submit as much stuff as you want so if you have time you could totally do both. What you described sounds intriguing but I'd have to hear it to know what you mean exactly. I'd say, go for whatever you feel like, and whatever you have time for.

[topitmunkeydog]

12 days left!
we haven't received... er... any music at all besides ACSII's and... um... the album might be better if it had more songs on it.
Which reminds me I have to make my track for this.

[Lying Pink]

I'm workin' on it! Whether I get it in in time is another question, though. I'm sure nobody's forgotten about yis, just everyone's been wrapped up in the surreal, protracted feverdream of R&R for the past week or two so everything else's been on a backburner for a lot of people.

[Lying Pink]

Any spec on the kind of voice you need?

[Lying Pink]

O
Can't help you there
My voice is too male and British

[Lying Pink]

That was planned and intentional :> (and also took like 5 tries) I can b chill. Sometimes. I'll just replace the normal tea with chamomile.
But um yes if you want me to I can have a go reading the thing, just message me whatever you want me to read, but it's totally fine if not, or you find someone more suitable, or if you listen to it and you're like "lying this is shite"
I'm visiting the family at the moment so if you wanted me to I'd have to record it tomorrow evening or more likely an evening/weekend after that

[Lying Pink]

Jam hot
As that guy said in that song

[Freewave]

Ok i have the musical section of Fixing Futashy i worked on yesterday but i just HATED how my vocals came out (doesn't help i have a cold either) and the pacing is a bit difficult at this tempo as well. Kinda struggled and lost a few hrs w/o any good results. I've kind of run out of time this week but if anyone can help with calm vocals i would adore a guest vocalist to come in and save this thing. Also wrote out some additional verses (and changed a few) if you like them and can also make them fit. Didn't really go the whole cheery solo guitar route but went a little sad and proggy with some samples. See what you think.....

Hopefully someone can assist on vocals perhaps while I'm stuck at work the rest of this week.
