Members Michael Martin Posted April 12, 2014 Members Share Posted April 12, 2014 Forgot to start this last night! Gonna go find one of mine to post. I think a band thing this month for me. Maybe a cover. brb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Martin Posted April 12, 2014 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2014 Here's mine. It's a demo of my band doing "Kiss Me", a song by Sixpence None the Richer. I recorded the band live on two tracks in an empty auditorium, Molly and Mo each into a separate mike/track but standing right next to each other. Kyle's cajon and my guitar are in the background of those tracks, but then later I overdubbed another guitar on a third track at home because the first guitar was too backgroundy. In both cases the guitar is my Martin 00XCAE, unplugged. Also added a tambourine track at home, so 4 tracks in all. Recorded on a Fostex VF80. Mikes are AT2020s. https://soundcloud.com/mdmartin/kiss-me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ccarnucci Posted April 12, 2014 Members Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi guys, Well I haven't VOMMIT'd here in such a long time. I've been so awfully busy, but a really good busy. I started a virtual online band called N-Compass about a year ago and we have been creating original music. It's been a lot of fun, a lot of work and a huge learning experience. None of us are from the same country. (Hence the name...) James from Great Britain, Stephen from Australia, Albert from Germany, and me from Dallas Texas, USA. We use Kompoz.com to facilitate the collaborations. If you've never checked out the site, give it a look. I'm so glad I stumbled across it. So here is our latest piece. The Many Reasons Why. I wrote this song while struggling to come to terms with a past hurt. It took me a while to realize that "getting over something" takes time....but starts from within. Funny ...50 years old and I'm still learning new things. I guess that's a good thing.

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted April 13, 2014 Members Share Posted April 13, 2014 Felt a bit warped, so just be glad I didn't make a video of this... It kinda answers the off-asked, but, until now, never adequately answered question: What would Clapton sound like, if he had listened to Woody Guthrie more than Robert Johnson?... http://terryallanhall.com/wonderful2.mp3 Taylor 355 12-string, Hohner Big River Harp (in a modified Lee Oskar rack), "Delta Drum Set" (foot activated washboard/stomp board), Shure SM-58, the last couple seconds due to sloppy editing...

Members Hoddy Posted April 13, 2014 Members Share Posted April 13, 2014 Some good stuff posted! Here's a clip of a little country project I was involved in the the mid 90s. I play all the guitars on this. https://app.box.com/s/fad52a4b6fa14b5845f6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ccarnucci Posted April 13, 2014 Members Share Posted April 13, 2014 Michael....Really nice recording. I could listen to girls harmonize all day long. And a really good job layering in the guitar. It all mixes well. I notice you now live in Rome? If I remember correctly you just used to visit there. Am I right, did you make the big move?

Members ccarnucci Posted April 13, 2014 Members Share Posted April 13, 2014 Cripes' date=' Idunno... That is some **************** hot guitar playing! [/quote'] Ditto.....that is some awesome stuff. Not just the playing but the arrangement too. I love they way it keeps moving from phrase to phrase. And the guitar tone is dope! Such a clear recording. Sounds professional.

Unfortunately, I only live in Rome in my heart's memory. I was there all summer in '10, '11 and '12, and might be back there January-May next year, if we get the enrollment (it's really $$$ for students).

Members ccarnucci Posted April 13, 2014 Members Share Posted April 13, 2014 Terry....awesome rendition. Your right on, Clapton gone native. . Love the alternate ending...didn't know there was drama there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ccarnucci Posted April 13, 2014 Members Share Posted April 13, 2014 James....very very cool rendition. I saw another critique that stated it sounds like a "civil war song". I agree, you gave it a very distinctive feel. So well done. I could easily see that as a soundtrack for a tv show or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Michael Martin Posted April 13, 2014 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2014 Since my first April submission was my band, and was a cover, I'm taking the liberty of adding this--a song I wrote last year commemorating one of the four murder victims at last year's Boston Marathon. I've written over 160 songs and this is the only time I've written one about someone I've never met. I posted the original version of this on a V.O.M. last year. Hard to believe this happened a year ago this Tuesday. This version just recorded today--a rainy-day experiment with a new intro. First two tracks were vocal and clean Strat straight into the Fostex (that's the buzz); added two Godin synth guitar tracks and one Hummingbird track. https://soundcloud.com/mdmartin/lingzi Lingzi ©MDM MMXIII Boston girl/we hardly knew yeOne in a billion or soHands across the waterSo far to come/so far to goBeantown sidewalks quiet nowBut my city not quite the sameNo one ‘round here can forget your faceAnd we will always remember your name Tears like rain fall/falling rainWash away the dayInto the streams and riversThat cut the earthAnd carve the rocks awayTears like rain Shenyang girl/they knew you so wellOne in a billion or soNorth bank of the riverThere is a girl with a dreamAll your city in bloom againBut springtime not quite the sameNo one ‘round there can forget your faceAnd they will always remember your name Tears like rain fall/falling rainWash away the dayInto the streams and riversThat cut the earthAnd carve the rocks away/rememberThe Boston girl/she’s gone back homeThrough tears that fall like rainTears like rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Idunno Posted April 14, 2014 Members Share Posted April 14, 2014 Getting around to listening to all submissions. Working on the taxes at the moment and my current mood does not excite the musical muse in me. Thanks for the listen and comments on my own submission. It's one I recorded some time back when I used fake nails of my own design that could shred some strings. That piece would rip my natural nails off in the 1st measure so I had to go all iron man on it. IIRC the strings were .013's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ccarnucci Posted April 14, 2014 Members Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sange....So the picture is great, and the playing is cool. The constant movement of the cam is a bit unnerving though. Not too bad, but I would guess there is not much you can do to correct for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ccarnucci Posted April 14, 2014 Members Share Posted April 14, 2014 Gary...it was really hard for me to make out all the words, but what I could I liked. It had a really nice melody.

But I sure enjoyed the studio versions of both songs. And I'm glad I got to hear the second one. I really like that tune! Just some pretty writing!

I have been writing a bit more lately (my songwriting goes in spurts) , and moving from a pure folk to I guess a "pop folk" sound. These are my two newest and I am rather happy with them.
