Noise Compilation VOLUME 2

Yes. That's right.

Deadline for submissions is March 31st.

  • Track length should be under 5 minutes
  • Files must be saved in wav format
  • Upload your song to the file sharing service of your choice
  • Send me the link in a PM - put your song title and TB handle in the title of the PM and put your effects chain in the body of the message (along with the link)


If we get enough submissions, we could make this one a double album.

It is esssential that you DO NOT CLIP YOUR TRACKS. Be mindful of your available headroom and watch those meters! Maxing out the volume is counter-productive and will destroy clarity, spectral balance, and intelligibility.
 
I need to get a hold of a couple mic stands from a friend, and I'll be set to record.

I'll be recording a one take noise/drone track, where I set my bass a few feet from my amps and cabs and use feedback to vibrate the strings in and out of drones. All without touching the instrument itself, but instead "playing it" by adjusting settings on pedals. I recently recorded a crappy video of this in action...

I'll probably record this a few times and pick out the best take, as the results are difficult/impossible to recreate exactly the same every time.
 
I'd like to give this a go.

Good excuse to buy more pedals...surely you can't expect me to work with what I have :p

March 31st? That's a good 8 weeks...all being well, I should be able to contribute.

Are there any guide lines as to the content?

EDIT: That's probably not very clear, I mean as in instrumentation...

From the previous thread:

There has only been one submission, so bring it! Don't feel the need to rush; take the time to create something to be proud of.

A note about "tracks" - your submission should be bounced down to either a mono or stereo wav file. There is no limit to the number of tracks you record; that will be based on your choice of instrumentation/effects and the limitations of your recording system.

As long as you all agree, the instrumentation should be up to you: it can be as minimal as running an oscillator into a delay, or a full blown multi-instrumental track. It need not have bass. What do you all think about that?
