April Contest: Submission

[Urs]

Here we go, my first contribution - and also the first song I made with my wife

Excite Me

Jayney Klimek on vocals, Urs on Zebras, Pure Drums and Drumkit From Hell. Recorded in Logic with on-board dynamics, bit of reverb and eq.


I've taken everything I have
Turned it around and inside out
Kicked up the dust, walked through my head
At the things that were never said

Chorus
You-ou-uh-uh Excite Me
You-uh-uh-uh Excite Me

Looking through rose-coloured glasses
Stepped of the edge, I'm falling faster
Once on the ground I get up again
Shake my head start enjoying the pain

I'm feeling stronger when I'm with you
No-one has turned me around like you
Skip in and out of the groove
You see to choose the right moves

[core]

Didn't think I'd make it this month but whaddaya know...

core - on the beat

Hope you have some tolerance for glitch

[me109]

Except for the drums and a little SampleTank reinforcement for the bass, everything's vocal. It was very organic and messy - lots of timing problems to edit and pitch to correct, but for what it's worth, here it is:

With funk there can be only one question...

Can You Play A Ninth Chord?



Walking Down
Nasty Street
James Brown
Comes up to me

"Tell Me now
Can you play
Ninth chords?
Then step this way"

Sure I can
Mr Brown
They're the chords
With a funky sound

Wondered what
He was gonna sing
Then he said
"Just one more thing"

Can you play a ninth chord?
(oh yeah)
All night?
(oh no!)
Can you play a ninth chord?
(oh yeah)
All night?
(oh no!)

Reach the stage
Half past nine
Crowd rolls in
Feeling fine
Then the drummer
Grabs my wrist
Leans and asks me
"Listen sis,"

Can you play a ninth chord?
Oh yeah
All night?
(oh no!)
Can you play a ninth chord?
Oh yeah
All night?
(oh no!)

(Instrumental riff)

I wake up
In music class
Miss the question
The teacher asked
She gets angry
Dark intent
Teacher screams
Punishment!

Can you play a ninth chord?
(yes, Miss)
All night?
(oh no!)
Can you play a ninth chord?
(yes, Miss)
All night?
(oh no!)

I don't feel so good....

[Psy-T]

had a few ideas for this month, 2 collabs amongst them, 1 of them turned out impracticle for this month, and the other almost died, so i worked on this 3rd solo effort. hope i'm not too late for reviews. anyways, without further ado, here's Natures First.

www.psy-t.com/0804-Psy-T-Natures_First.mp3

lyrics from Robert Frost:

Natures first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay.

made with reason 3, acoustica, a crappy mic, and crappy vocal cords

[mellotronaut]

melT - defunkT (chocolate)

I made loops from a short Reason-RNS-file, Psy-T sent to me, processed them heavily in Ableton Live 7 and added Guitars, Bass, Keys and Vox.
KariNox gave some Chilly-Chocolate.

I was on my way down there
To a village called despair
I couldn't get my dik right up
And even the doctors couldn't stop
The mess

With every girl i felt the pain
And i vanished in a shame

It's the chocolate she made
It's the chilly she put into it

Then i met a girl called Jane
And she knew how to ease the pain
She was a witch without a doubt
And her chilly chocolate made me proud

I took a dose before we went to bed
And my silly little hammer went red

It's the chocolate ...

Petticoat memories

Special thanks to my special guest for his special vocal performance <- Mello

Cheers

[autodafe]

I have put this together in a couple of days.

Funkube

Guitars: My Telecaster + Amplitube2
Bass: Sampletank + CamelSpace for some rhythmic groove
Clavinet: Sampletank + FilterBank
Drums, Piano, Brass: Sampletank
Some additional Loops in Reason (Shaker, Congas)
A bit of CSR reverb here and there...

Most of it played live, except drums (I wanted to play them live but no time to do it...)

Done in Cubae SX2, processed in SoundForge with the aid of T-Racks, with some sort of vintage EQ/feeling, maybe a bit "dirty"

[1-2-Many]

You Got Funky

Well I'll try to change
when I'm ready to face it
but I've got to say
I just can't replace it, NO!

Whoo-You've got to give me the fun key
Ohh-ha! You Got funky!

I've been bit by your monkey
You're young, I'm a gun
You're the fighter worth puttin money on
I know, there'll no compromise
when your locked outside without the fun key,
alone, in the cold out there
all alone, without the fun key

I get the funky now
funky ahh - get down
we're getting funky now
I'm just proud to say
that my fun key has a name
We're gettin funky

A good god!

I'm feeling strange
where did I place it
It up'ed and got away
and I'm too tired chase it now!

You've got to give me the funky
Whoo-ha
You got funky!
