Completely DIY Bass and Vocal Only Solo Project

Sign in to disble this ad
This is what I've been playing around with recently. I have 27 songs at the moment. The most recent 7 under the set titled "Control" has been my best, and most recent project so far. All I use is a computer microphone, and amp distortion on the bass. All the instruments are bass, and they are only my (terrible) vocals. I've been doing this for fun just to show my friends, and things like that, and figured someone here might get a kick out of it.

Control by Nevitz

Some of it may be offensive. Just warning. There are obscenities, and controversial topics discussed.

Might I suggest listening to Wanderer, I Wish, and Solemnly before judging x)

Go for it. I'm not really expecting anything too positive, lol. This is just a project I work on when I get bored, and want to make a kind of song I've never heard before. I know I'm not a very good singer, and I use the distortion on the recordings due to lack of guitar.

So, sure, lol.

Honestly, It's rough but not unbearable. Try less edgy distortion. I can dig it over all.

These tracks could benefit from some drums, I think. Even if it was just a trash bin, a tin pan, and a wooden spoon. I dig the punk vibe, though.

Everything drifts in and out of time with each other, you ought to consider some means of keeping it together (such as the drum idea above).

It's great that your writing and recording though, its brilliant practice and will improve many areas of your music. It sounds rough now but the ideas are there, with more experience of recording it will sound far better.

Bass and vocal only

This is what we've been doing:

THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR CLOTHES.m4v - YouTube

Also: soundcloud - meet the Seavers

We LOVE this format. Everyone stops what they are doing and listens when we play out here in Nashville.
I never had this success with a full band.
