Who wants to be arranger?

I can arrange, slice-dice anything sent my way in to something new... or graft tin whistle diddy to guitar riff in key of E... as the case may be.

PM me for details/info/questions/

I think this is a cool idea

ill do whatever really, im easy... heres the things I can do..

Mixer
Drum Programing
Arranging
Work a bit of a tune out

(though im no keyboard player)
General Sound FX / Design

I think this could be great, a bit of fun if nothing else... I suppose we would have to take it in turns work on the file woudlnt we? Say somebody starts it off, then pass it to the nest person (well via the FTP anyway) .... or I suppose we could work on some elements at the same time.... what does everbody think?

Good to see a few folks signing up for this.

Some are still a little shy perhaps?

Come on all you skulkers out there you know you want to get involved

It has been suggested that something like this would take a long time and need serious organisation. Not really. I was involved in one of these music fests where everone was using different gear. Working with MP3's, WAV, PC's MAC, 2"tape. You name it the format was there. That one was a mammoth task and it was pulled off. nine teams in total with around sixty people involved.

As CT43 suggested above it would work much like he suggests. Some one would start a riff, chord progression, noise, drum pattern or anything else they like, upload it and then the next person adds their bit

.

More Able-Tones are needed

Sign up gentleman and ladies.

I would like to propose a theme for this festival: the tracks we come up with are in some way inspired/related to/named after a Live feature or effect. For example "Table Tennis", in honor of the Ping Pong Delay; "Eat Wirms" in honor of the Grain Delay; "Snap to Grid" in honor of the feature by the same name... etc.

What do you think?

It would be great if we could Actaully get Ableton to set up some sort of extension to there site that could really deal with this ace idea.

We could have the first online band record label (well as far as I know, and I'm usually wrong) . If we could set up some kind of place where there is a free and simple exchange of files between people. You could log onto the site as a member of your paticular band and then have instant connection with your band mates.

Sod actually having to meet each other. Who needs that nowadays anyways.

Is anyone a kick ass website developer that could design this website and offer it up to the ableton's . This idea has got me really psyched!, 16 bit you need to e-mail the abe's with this idea and lets get the clought of the ace peeps in this forum to back it up. Lets turn all this negativity that has been around here lately into something flipping cool. Our very own Ableton record label, run by the people , for the people. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

Good initatyive.
I would be glad to be a studio-hang-around, if that's an option. Listening, commenting, that stuff.

Strauzzie · Post by **Strauzzie** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 1:19 pm

Hey all, I'd love to throw my hat in the ring. I can offer:

1) melody line / hook concentration
2) acoustic guitar
3) drums - live or programmed
4) FX
5) a dedicated 20 Gb FTP site.

How are we deciding the makeup of teams? Random? Or should they just come together?

sweetjesus · Post by **sweetjesus** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 1:38 pm

I was thinking of making a list of all the people here with the respective skills they have to offer in a spreadsheet kind of format (html friendly) and then make a vote thread so people can choose which team they wish to be in with whome. That way if anyone on the forum REALLY has been itching to work with someone in specific, they can use this to provide that opportunity.. what do you guys think of that?

I would be keen to hear from 16bit how the teams were formed in the other remixfests he has been involved in.

If some of you are interested into making an “IPM” song (intelligent pop music

), I can provide some acceptable lyrics (Me write in ze good Ingleesh!)

I can also provide a “song concept” that together we bring to life.
Im open to everything from retro funk to punkish flamenco

Oh, and I can sing pitch perfect… if our mastering engineer has got Melodyne!!!

Tommy Genes · Post by **Tommy Genes** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 1:59 pm

I'm interested, and I (or Tommy Genes' alter ego) can offer:

1. Electric bass (22 years playing/recording)
2. A little electric guitar
3. Subtle to freaky effects on 1 and 2
4. Other laptop shenanigans...

I agree with sweetjesus that we need some way to actually form the teams. I've seen other attempts at this sort of thing where you just ended up with a forum thread full of people saying "I'm interested", but no one actually forming into groups.

Cheers,

2 ways i envision - make a thread for each team (Team A, Team B) and if someone want's to be part of a specific team make an additional post in the related thread.

Otherwise, when it seems as though we have enough people to contribute, I will make a simple page on my server where you go there, click on the team you want to join and then type your ableton nickname and your email address and your skills and voila it puts you on the list of that team.
