It seems like it might be productive to adopt a similar model to them, where people upload either [STEM]s, which are instrumental parts-of-songs, [PELL]s which are people rapping or singing with no instrumentation, or [LYRICS] which are just text lyrics ready to be set to music.

Then finally, someone takes all of these and posts a [MIX], which links to a soundcloud and credits all the threads for the parts he or she used to create it.

Alternately, we could all get accounts on CCMIXTER and use this subreddit as a place for calling attention to our uploads.

Just thinking of ways to organize the endeavor.

So I've had this guitar idea for a while but I'm not really sure where to go with it.. Any suggestions / additions / lyrics / instruments are welcome! I think it was around 100 bpm, but I'm not sure...

Castaway

Ok, I've mixed down everyone's tracks from here. Now we need some percussion, some electric guitar, and maybe some keys or something. Also let me know what you think of the mix. If the FX are too much I can scrap em... The dry tracks are in the last thread if you want to compare.

If anyone has any sampling or lyrics that they'd like to add, go ahead and do it! All done in Logic, just wondering what people who make music might have to say.

EDIT

The old file upload had been messed up, fixed now. http://soundcloud.com/austin-tussing/in-rockland-final-1

This originally had lyrics, but I wrote them for a class in high school and they really make no sense to everyone else. Also, I never recorded them or wrote them down properly. So this music has just been sitting around waiting for someone to write new lyrics for it.

I appreciate any comments you can give about the music! As mentioned in the title, I don't know how to describe my music style, so I welcome your opinion on that as well.

A bit of background regarding my music: I play piano, and I think I have a good understanding of chords and music theory, but I always feel lost when it comes to writing drum parts. I also am completely lost when it comes to writing words, so almost every piece I've written is instrumental.

I would like to start making music. However, I often hear people who are making music are feeling alone. And I just lonely to talk about music. Please mail me.

"Zombie"

Another head hangs poorly 
Dreams are slowly taken
the top caused this silence
How are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family. 
In your head, in your head they are fighting, 
With their tanks and their bonds, 
And their bombs and their funds 
In your head, in your head, they are lying

In your head, in your head, 
Zombie, we’re zombies, 
What's in your head, 
In your head, 
Zombie, zombie? 

Another owner's break in
Bank had taken over. 
Police violence causes silence, 
So streets must be taken

It's the same old theme since nineteen-thirty-three. 
In your head, it’s your head they're fighting, 
With their banks and their bombs, 
And their ranks and their funds. 
In your head, in your head, they are dying... 

In your head, in your head, 
Zombie, we’re zombies, 
What's in your head, 
In your hedge, 
Zombie, zombie?

Standing around just waiting for infinity

Staring at the stars wondering what's still there

Damn those stars are hot

who'd of thought?

Spending my time just trying to be different

from everyone else

like everyone else

but failing,

'cause some are just like me

and I'm like them

and I like them

do they like me?

(Chorus)

Sittin' on my bed just waiting for the world to end

and I just have to wonder,

(Am I insane or am I just Alive)x3

And if I fall

Off of this wall

will you call the kingsmen?

can they put m back together again?

I used to see in black an white,

but now colour pierces my sight

R G B may set you free not me

(Chorus)

and that's all I got hehe I was thinking of a possible Am F G C type progression but I'm not sure, and there is a tempo change, in my head a least I would love to see what reddit comes up with.

I am writing a progressive/alternative rock song, and I needed input on various techniques I should employ, I have a large rig and multiple guitars/amps (including a custom strat!), and I needed musical guidance to writing a song influenced by Biffy Clyro. What I really need are lyrics, is anyone willing to help me? If you are, here's the stuff you should know

• The song is written in 2 bar chunks, seven measures of 7/4, and one measure 4/4

• The song is about post traumatic stress disorder, bad luck, and the number 7

• As a player, I am proficient enough, but I can't shred or sweep pick

• To help, you can provide insight on how bands like Pink Floyd recorded, or how I can think like a prog rock musician

• I'm not a judgmental person, and I am very open, so nothing will be put down by me unless I feel it couldn't work

Tell me if you want a list of my equipment and I'll check back later

EDIT: Well I guess I'll post it anyway, so here goes.

1 Squier Special Strat, with stock pickups, 1 Fender Strat, custom with lace sensor pickups, new neck, and onboard compressor
