Posts from The Bards of Arandor’s Forests

Here's what we have:
Imaris: various extreme vocals, possibly clean vocals, flute, acoustic guitar, as well as organizing all processes happening in this thread.
Arandor: bass guitar, acoustic guitar.
Vegtam: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, whistles, ocarina, jaw harp, tambourine, castanets and who knows what else.
Lord Mortulus: electronics, keyboards, electric guitar.
Wishmaster: clean vocals, acoustic guitar.
Neira Drake: clean vocals.
Amko: can listen, can sing, but is shy.
Mona: might be able to sing (but she needs a lot of persuading!), keyboards, guitar.

Examples of our capabilities (the list will be updated):
Imaris: extreme vocals. Specifically: growling on fry scream, screaming on fry scream, [URL="http://vk.com/search?c[q]=Imaris%20-%20An%20Angel%20s%20Funeral%20%28Agathodaimon%20vox%20cover%29&c[section]=audio"]blackened screaming and growls (classic)[/URL], [URL="http://vk.com/search?c[q]=Imaris%20-%20Triumph%20Of%20The%20Sinners%20%28Entrails%20vox%20cover%29&c[section]=audio&c[sort]=2"]growling (classic)[/URL].
Lord Mortulus: formed the band System(x)Failure with friends, together they write electronic music, here's an example. Also, below in this thread is one of our creations.
Wishmaster: clean vocals and acoustic guitar.

Here we can all get together and write some music. And perform it. Then mix it into a single track and be happy that we have achieved something in this culture!
Genres are any, lyrics too, you can do without lyrics. Everyone does as they want, everyone contributes a little bit, and we will create some true epic apocalyptic female fronted symphonic atmospheric satanic suicidal horror gothic doom brutal progressive blackened slamming 8-bit deathgrind with j-pop/sludge/folk/mathcore influence. Well, that's just for metal, but we might play something completely non-rock.

So. Lordesat wrote something electronic; let him come and give links. I wanted to record growls or something else over it and process it.
We were sitting in the chat now and came up with the idea of making some kind of folk music, since there are plenty of instruments.
Drums? We'll probably have to use samples if they are needed.

Those who don't play instruments can also participate in this, for example, by writing music, helping with organization, drawing album covers (hehe) or simply having associations with the music.

P.S. Don't write things like "I can't play, I'm just doing this for fun, I'm not very good." Everyone is bad at something). You need to push aside the veil of self-criticism and see what we are capable of. Beautiful music doesn't necessarily have to be technical, progressive, and difficult to perform.

Discuss, guys!

Current list of proposed songs for covers:
The Beatles - Help! (Work in progress. Tab. Arko on bass, drums written, Vegtam's electric guitar, Vegtam's or Vish's acoustic guitar, Wish sings. We're waiting for Veggi and Wishmaster to get together)
Uriah Heep - Lady in Black
Helloween - In the Night
Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

We already have some successes!
Mortulus wrote a song, and I sang in it. Details are in this post.

For everyone who wants to participate.
I suggest that we share some of our recordings in this thread to showcase each of our musical abilities (I will add them to the header). It's best to put as much effort as possible into the recordings and play the most challenging song you can – this will allow for a proper assessment of your maximum capabilities. You can play something original or a cover of your favorite band.
I'll update the header soon and provide a link to my vocal recording. This is for Mythos x) Regarding the flute, acoustic guitar, and clean vocals, I don't think I'll be able to do that soon, but I might record something this week.

female fronted

I doubt it.

Well, Hommy and I were just chatting about it once. This is just a little off-topic.

Let's catch another Nereid, she'll sing for us. ;)

Wishmaster - acoustic guitar and vocals :) Maybe I'll record something in the next few days, depending on my mood.

Well, Hommy and I were just chatting about it once. It's written as a bit of a lyrical off-topic.

Yeah, I saw that masterpiece on Last.fm. It amused my twisted taste, considering that I'm a fan of most of the genres listed, except maybe satanic and J-pop :rolleyes: Ah yes, I also promised to post my guitar pro parodies. But that won't be right away - I need to choose the least terrible one, or overcome my laziness and finish the new composition I started.

Even Kosha came! ^^
Vish, show us your vocals too!

I could be a producer. And like any idiot, I can write POEMS.

Let's catch another Neira, she'll sing for us. ;)

Well, I can sing pretty well. And I have good pitch. I can also help with the style, if I'm not too lazy.

Great, so we can form a band with a female vocalist!
Maybe someone will even give us some money. For musical instruments, of course.

We need to sing The Streets' "Dusty Fridge."
But generally, that's how boring, small bands do it – they start with covers. You can take any song and do a cover version. But with what we have, it's very difficult to do. It's easier to actually write something original.

Caught Neika.

First, you should try playing and combining the simplest possible elements. It's easier with a cover.
Guitar Pro will help us.

Nebko will give us money. For musical instruments.

Will he buy me a wah pedal?

So that it's impossible to say the name of the style all at once.

By the way, I also have a jaw harp, and I can borrow a frame drum from a friend.

I would listen to you, that’s interesting.

Exactly, Vargan. I just couldn't remember that you had those too.
Veg, Hommy and I also wanted to add most of the tags you added, but we decided that it wouldn't be as cool.
Yes, covers. Veggy, we can play Eluveitie, since we have a lot of instruments for that. The only problem is that the others don't know this band.

What albums do you have? I suggest the song Memento.

Added 3 minutes ago
Or we can play a lot of other things, as long as it's not too difficult.

All albums are available. But Helvetes might be a bit challenging for beginners. It's better to start with something simpler. Record the drums first, then add the guitar on top, and finally the vocals, so that three different people are recording. At least do that.
