First Official FFR Band

[One Winged Angel]

I've got a ton of material written for guitar and currently no band to work the other parts out with, so here's what I'm thinking:

Let's get a four or five-piece band together over FFR !_!

I've got about an album's worth of material for guitar in a mathcore metal sort of genre, so I can record the guitars, send the tracks to the drummer (whoever that may be), he'll record his part on top and send it to the bassist, and then the bassist'll send it to the vocalist (if we manage to snag one that doesn't suck)...and then maybe someone can step what we've produced if it isn't shit?

This would be a really cool little project for any experienced musicians willing to take part

I can play both guitar and keys (been playing piano for about 13 years), so adding synth and stuff wouldn't be a problem on my end

Anyone who's legitimately interested, post a video in the thread of you derping around on your respective instrument(s) for a few minutes and I'll see if you're qualified or not

NOTE: ANY AND ALL APPLICANTS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO RECORDING EQUIPMENT IN THE FORM OF AN AUDIO INTERFACE AND SONAR/PROTOOLS/CUBASE/etc.
(for obvious reasons lul)

I'm really hoping this takes off, this would be pretty legit

[UnkownMan]

I wouldn't mind offering something to this.

[One Winged Angel]

hilarious 43 minute bump because everyone's gay except unkown

what do you play bud?

[LoveHurts67]

WOW, this sounds sick, I can't wait to hear it!

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

Lul define a little more of what you're looking for skill wise? XD

[One Winged Angel]

I don't wanna put myself on a pedestal or anything, but I can definitely hold my own on guitar...anyone who's comfortable playing in awkward time signatures with good improv skills would more than likely be qualified

If I can't find that though, I can change some of the licks so that they're less awkward to play rhythmically

I just want this to happen haha

[ichliebekase]

I'm -okay- on bass, need to get a new one.

I like to think I'm good at singing, but I probably suck XD so don't believe me on that one.

[rushyrulz]

I would like to say I could do keyboards, but idk how to record junk, sooo..

honestly, I encourage anyone who's legitimately interested to post a vid

also, tons of people undercut themselves and don't actually realize how good they are

[Matrixdude]

I've played drums for about ~6 years now. Maybe explain mathcore? Sounds cool but I'm not entirely sure what it is exactly. Is it like hardcore with odd time signatures or something? Because that's pretty freaking awesome.

Don't know how good I'd be though.

[revolutionomega]

Uhm I'll get you some rock band videos and freestyle if I have time, but probably won't happen to monday/tuesday night and I have to convince my sister to record for me since I lack a cam. But yeah I'll give you an idea of what I could do, real set probably won't happen for a bit.


Also:

Mathcore = death/metal/black core with odd time signatures
ref. Protest the Hero/A Black Rose Burial

[Jtehanonymous]

Do you need a violin solo to put in a song~

[One Winged Angel]

yeah matrix, you've got the right idea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gx8A...eature=related posting this just because it's on a separate tab right now and is pretty close to the sound I've got (drop-tuned my guitar like fuccccc) even though the song's in a constant 4/4

yeeeeee both of you guys post vids

edit: yo jteh, I could probably break some parts off into an interlude meant for stringed solos that rejoins into the main riffs later

Win.

Also, I'm not super into Deathcore stuff and I honestly don't think that that would be any fun to play on the drums...

PTH on the other hand (who is definitely not deathcore) I could handle. What exactly are you looking for?

EDIT: I see... But could you still explain just how metal this will be? haha

[One Winged Angel]

definitely not deathcore, more emphasis on melody and rhythm and little to no emphasis on vocals at the moment (that could change depending on who we have to work with on here)

for now, think of instrumental PtH if that helps (animals as leaders might even work as a better reference)

it's not gonna be all CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA low end stuff on guitar, there'll be higher pitched 'sequoia throne'-esque riffs and what not

Yeah this is the kind of thing I meant. It'd be a pretty nice touch imo.

[AsphyxZero]

I'm about to get a midi controller for my synth, so if you need any synth lines and the like, you can definitely contact me for that

[ic0slay3r]

This sounds really interesting, but what are your recording suggesting methods, cause I think recording with a camera will give kinda of a low quality sound.

[One Winged Angel]

it'd pretty much have to be a requirement that any applicants should possess or have access to an interface along with sonar/cubase/protools etc.

I'd thought about this prior to posting the OP but didn't stipulate this because I assumed that'd be a given, I'll change it now though, thanks

[One Winged Angel]

bumping this because maybe some of you music freaks are nocturnal
