Looking to recruit for an Animal Crossing remix project

[joe_cam]

I asked and was told to put this kind of thread here, but I'm looking to recruit some talent for a remix project I'm putting together. I didn't want to go invite only like Bound Together, I was looking to open it up to some newer talent or people I may not necessarily know of.
I wanna hold off on announcing the game right away, but if you get in touch with me either via a PM here, or through email (joecam at joecamnet dot com) or AIM (JoeCamNet on there) I'll be more than happy to fill you in on all the details, give you a link to the OST and whatever else.
If you get in touch with me, please make sure you provide me with a link to a mix or a few that you're proud so I can check you out and hear how you sound.
Some info I'm willing to share right off the bat is that there is a TON of material to pick from and the current release date I have in mind is around Christmas, so if you're interested, I'd prefer it if you could get your work done somewhat sooner than later so I dont' have to hound you around Thanksgiving to get me a WIP or wait until last second to get a final mix (looks at beatdrop)...
I'll talk to anybody who is interested, whether you're a new mixer, an established veteran or somebody I havent' gotten along with in the past. I'd love to get as much talent involved as I can!

Hope to get some replies!

As per request: The game is Animal Crossing.

[Mustin]

Christmas?! Damn, is this the one I'm already done for?

Guess I have a lot of time to finish up that revision, no?

[joe_cam]

Hey, I told you my only plans were to have it out for the end of the year... if I can get it out sooner, rock on. If you want, grab some more songs. More Mustin is always good...as long as that North guy doesn't meow it all up.

[DCT]

Is this the one you told me about way back? Cuz shit....I forgot about it. Lemme finish that real quick.

-D

[Nekofrog]

PM sent. Awaiting reply.

[richter]

How come you never invite *me* to be in any of your projects? :(

[joe_cam]

Richter, I will cut you. I've invited you to all 3 projects I've put out and you never do anything... and TWO of those projects were for YOUR site...

God I miss you...hold me...

[joe_cam]

would people show more interest if I mentioned the game publicly or something?

[OA]

I think it's about finding the people who would appreciate the music, but I don't think you should publicly announce it. I'll vaguely ask some remix homies of mine.

[Salluz]

I am going to send you a PM.

[Chickenwarlord]

Last time I showed interest in one of your projects I could never get a hold of you to show you my progress and ended up not ever finishing my track because of this :(.

[joe_cam]

I'm not hard to get in touch with. My AIM program is ALWAYS running and so is my email client. And if all else fails, PMs work too. Nobody else has problems getting in touch with me.

[djpretzel]

In general I don't have a problem with recruitment threads, especially from people who are relatively established in the community (like Joe) and have a proven track record of success (again, like Joe)...However, I kinda have an issue with secretive, "we'll fill you in once you're on board" recruitment threads being posted here. Even with someone established, like Joe, if neither myself nor any of the moderators know what's going on, it could be anything. Furthermore I feel like projects should either be secretive or not... if you're working on something you don't wanna share with the community until the release, that's fine, but the whole halfway thing of making a public recruitment thread for a secret project rubs me the wrong way.

Call me crazy, here, but I'd really prefer more details be provided if this thread's going to continue.

[joe_cam]

Original post updated. I wanted to see if I could get people involved before making any kind of announcement of what this project is.
You know I hate taking forever for a project and the last thing I want is to announce a project and either not have anything come out for 3 years or at all. That's why I'm always secretive about what I do. I dont' like to announce what I'm doing until I know for sure it's going to happen and until I get more talent confirmed and more tracks coming in, I didn't want to announce anything, but since I had to reveal the game to keep this thread going, it's in the first post.

Dave, you want in? (Still sad you never replied back to my messages about my wedding...)

Yeah I douched out on that... sorry. I thought it was May and that you'd send some sort of update, but Larry said it was March? Congrats either way, and shame on me for massive fail.

Thanks for updating... I'd love to be involved BUT at the moment I've got obligations to Doom 2, DKC2, AND the website for Tales project and would feel bad committing to anything until I make good on that shizz. Should be soon(ish) on some of that, so don't count me out!

[joe_cam]

Well keep me updated. Add me on AIM or something so I have a way to get in touch with you besides email since that didn't help wtih the wedding! :D
Plus I can give you some info on this if you're interested.

[Mazedude]

Well you already got my track; the odds of getting a second or third depend on if I have insomnia and feel like writing again, like what happened on Bound Together. :)

[joe_cam]

Mazedude, the insomniatic remixer.

[Chickenwarlord]

I'm definitely interested in any of the most unwanted tracks. I do have some free time due to it being summertime.

[joe_cam]

PM, email or AIM me.

[DiggiDis]

I'm not sure how to make decent music, but I'll be trying this .. hahha

[joe_cam]

DiggiDis, eh? Your name sounds unique... I'll give you a chance... You remind me of this kid "Disposer" I used to talk to...

[DCT]

Since you didn't answer my question on the first damn page, I'm gonna assume that I wasn't down before, so I'm in.

[joe_cam]

who are you?

[Dhsu]

Sum dead n00b.

[joe_cam]

Man...I go away for two days and Dhsu kills the thread...

[The wingless]

Put him in a paper-bag Johnny! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[joe_cam]

John, you gonna get involved in this?
Also, am I gonna see you in two weeks?

[OA]

1 week bump; Maybe a potential mixer will see this :-D

[joe_cam]

Thanks for the bump, but I don't think it's working.

[joe_cam]

Quick public apology to the emails and messages I've been missing over the past few days. I'm presently in Arkansas right now sitting on Ailsean's laptop for the annual OUS BBQ and I'm nowhere near my computer. If you've emailed me or messaged me, I'll be back home Tuesday and I'll reply then.
wiwuhwhuh go ONK ONK

[joe_cam]

Gonna try giving this one more bump to see if I can drum up any more interest here on OCR.
People complained with Bound Together that I didn't open it up for outsiders and now that I'm opening it up and asking for people to join up, I dont' get much interest.
You guys are all totally off my christmas card list.

The potential lack of interest might be because a lot of the established remixers are busy with this or that, and the new folks are a bit sheepish to inquire knowing what's likely expected in terms of quality for this. That's just a guess mind you.

[Mustin]

I'm already done.

[Monobrow]

Your sig makes me a saaaaaaaad.

Also the tracklist for this is neat guys, give it a try.

[DJ SymBiotiX]

I... need to start mine <_<.. GAH real life sucks

[The Pezman]

Bingo. It's rarely a lack of interest as opposed to a lack of time + skillz.

[joe_cam]

Shit, Mustin is busier than half of ya'll and he finished already.
Mazedude finished already too, but he's a friggin machine, so I'm not surprised. God I love that man.

hell, even I have a song finished (well, a collaboration at least...)

[ktriton]

Busy as hell, but I'm in, too.

[joe_cam]

Quick note to anybody who was pondering joining this.
All 24 of the themes for the hours of the day have been claimed.
Still looking to get more people involved!

[CPacaud]

I'm in, for great justice and stuff.

[TsunamidaShirakawa]

Dunno' what I have to do, but I'm down.

[joe_cam]

(Psst. You have to contact me...)

[Flip]

hmm Animal Crossing...interesting..

[joe_cam]

Strange I have to keep saying this. People express interest here but don't contact me...
I'm not going to come for you. You come to me if you want to get involved...
Contact info is in the first post in this topic

[OA]

I'll be done with my track tonight.

[joe_cam]

Just an update that I have somebody workin on an absolutely INSANE medley.
First 1/8th sounds awesome so far!! This will probably be the biggest surprise of the project.

[sephfire]

Wait, this thing is for ANIMAL CROSSING? If I'd known that I would've volunteered on day one!

Are volunteers still being taken?

[joe_cam]

Indeed. Get in touch with me.

[joe_cam]

Going for a bump to see if there are any stragglers who were interested in still getting aboard.
Phase 2 is going to be harassing musicians to do their shit before I fucking cut them.

[StarZander]

Maybe you should change the title of the thread, so that more people will find out that this project is all about Animal Crossing. You'll probably get even more people if you do, and atleast more support.

[DarkeSword]

Thread renamed.

plz help mr joecam

[Bleck]

the arrangement is finished, I just have to actually record everything which is hard without a god damn guitar

[Brushfire]

If you need deep male Vox, I'd like to help.

[joe_cam]

plz help mr joecam

Does this mean you want in?
Come on Darke, you know you want to. Drop me a line.

[Nutritious]

Bumping to let you know I've started on my track, just not showable yet :)

[Salluz]

Still have my submission?

[joe_cam]

of course I still have your song. you think I'd just delete it or something?
*deletes track*

[Monobrow]

bumpin this, also new update on mine comin' soon

[POCKETMAN]

Does this mean you want in?
Come on Pocketman, you know you want to.

I want in.

[Xenon Odyssey]

I want in.

That took a while.

[POCKETMAN]

That took a while.


haha.... funny.
that's funny.

[prophetik]

i'd be interested in collaborating, but i doubt i'd be able to put something together by myself.

so, put me down for sax, voice, and other strange instrumentation.

[joe_cam]

Gettin down to that time. If you're involved in this and you haven't been in touch with me, get in touch wtih me so I know where you're at. Crunch time will start after Halloween. Then I crack skulls.

[JH Sounds]

Then I crack skulls.

Ouch......

[Mustin]

I'm putting my mix out early. But as requested by Joe_Cam, I'm waiting until November.

So Nov. 4th, my mix will be on my MySpace. Win.

www.myspace.com/mustinmusic

[joe_cam]

Alright peoples. I've sent a few emails and PMs. If you didn't get one, you need to get in touch with me. If I dont hear from you, you aren't on the project. If I dont' get some updates, you arent' on the project.
This remix project will release when one single man is ready, and that's because he's got the biggest track for this project. When he's done, I will check with everybody else. If they aren't ready or within reason, I proceed without.
If you're supposed to be working on a song and you havent started, I suggest you do so now, with a few notable exceptions who I've only recently talked to.
I wanna see a nice stream of songs coming to me this month so I can prepare for a late December launch (pending any big delays)
Final note, PMs arent' the best way to contact me if you need me. email me.
