Level 99 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming response to this, it has been turned into a super-mega-ultra collab. Refer to the following: Tentative roster: Guitars, Drums, Arrangement, Lyrics – Level 99 Vocals - Luiza Alto Saxophone – Cyril the Wolf Tenor Saxophone – Xenon Odyssey Trumpet - Swann Trombone, Brass Arrangement – PrototypeRaptor Trombone – HitoriJaNai Bass – DeathBySpoon Mixing services – Avaris Information for those involved in this mix: Once PR gets all the parts written down, he will get them to me and they will be distributed. Then just get me your recordings via email or hosting service like mediafire, and I will take care of the placement and then send it off to Avaris for mixing. Bass should just get me the stuff whenever possible. Even though there is no specific due date, I'd love to have this done around Christmas-time. I know at least one of the brass players wont have their mic until that time, but if everyone else can get stuff in before then, that'd be awesome. To be able to have this ready by around MAGFest would be INSANE, but I'm not going to put too much pressure on it. Thank you, everyone. We are The OverClocked Plaid Muffins. ------------------------------------------------------------- cyrilthewolf is doing the vocals for this, a ska version of Gourmet Race. The vocals are missing but it's pretty obvious where they go, I wrote the lyrics to go along with the lead of the original tune. My WIP: http://www.mediafire.com/?gjt0kwutzxt Original song (so you can hear where the lead is): Lyrics: Ska Buffet (All you can eat) (Gourmet Race Type 2) ----------------- I am eating food, sweet and tasty dishes, dude It is loads of fun but all these calories are bad for you Chinese, sushi please, Spanish, Thai Food, it's all good! Shove it all in my mouth and I will give you cash Chips and salsa, peanut butter, tenderloin and rack of lamb Microwaving me some kettle corn and the tv dinners are being baked now Giant burgers and burritos, deli meats and lots of cheese Bar-be-ques and large potato salad, I'll eat everything! I'll clear out all the buffets in every city in no time Most grocery stores have posted "no pink marshmallow" entry signs But let's disregard these warnings and digest every last bit From frozen food and the bakery to snacks, sodas and chips So let's hit up all the drive-thrus and convenience stores near here My jaw ain't chewing something now, starvation is to be feared For without a constant stream of eats I'll likely to just die cause I'm Kirby, bitch, and I need food so GET ME FUCKING FRENCH FRIES! *ska break* Deep fried cookies, monster cherries , french-fried onions from the can Only veggies if they're soaked in oil and even then I'd rather eat raw cream cheese Deep dish pizza, shrimp tempura, crispy flat bread drenched in lard I don't care if I'm to big to transport, roll me to the foods I'll clear out all the buffets in every city in no time Most grocery stores have posted "no pink marshmallow" entry signs But let's disregard these warnings and digest every last bit From frozen food and the bakery to snacks, sodas and chips So let's hit up all the drive-thrus and convenience stores near here My jaw ain't chewing something now, starvation is to be feared Why hold back all you inner cravings, restraining for today When you could eat up the whole world, this ain't no fucking gourmet! ---------------------------------------- I've been sitting on this song about a month and it's getting close to done. Thoughts? Mind you: the brass will probably be changed before the final version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitoriJaNai Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'm going to say this right upfront so I don't get lost in the flow of awesome... I WISH I HAD HEARD THIS SOONER! BECAUSE THIS IS AWESOME! AND MAKES ME LAUGH REALLY HARD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPanther Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I saw Kirby Super Star so I had to check it out. This sounds sweet man can't wait to hear this with the vocals lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Finally! I've been waiting for someone to try the 2nd race from this game and this rocks! I can't wait for the vocals because the lyrics are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Odyssey Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 the brass will probably be changed before the final version. If Brad does not play sax on this, I'm getting a microphone for Christmas so you'll get your saxophonage on. Also: MOAR HORNS. that 26 seconds was a cock-tease, man; where da horns at at the end? everything = gravy my man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Haha thanks for the feedback, Hitori, Crulex and BP. I'm eagerly awaiting cyril's vocals as well. Xenon: Brad's not slated to do sax for this. I originally was gonna do this song solo until I realized my voice absolutely sucks, which is when I approached Starla for vox. She declined, and then I went to cyril and he not only offered the vocals but said he could probably do a sax-ditty in there as well. If he doesn't end up doing it, I'll surely come to you. Now if only I could find people who play other brass to totally fill out the instrumentation, I'd be set. And I'll be honest: I spent an hour last night right before going to bed completely redoing the brass and....then Sonar crashed while freezing a track. I hadn't saved, so now I have the Sonar AGAIN set to autosave every 2 changes. I'll try to go back and make the same changes whenever I can, because I did add brass all throughout just to cover until the vocals arrive, and there was huge brass at the end. I know, I'm teasing you now. That's awesome you're getting a mic for xmas too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Odyssey Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Sweeeeeeet. I think Fratto plays the trombone, so you might wanna ask and see if he'd like/is available to lay down some riddims. Now leaves you a trumpet playa... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuketheXjesse Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I would so do a Trumpet solo for this if I could play it well. ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitoriJaNai Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Oh, this is just hilarious... If I figure it out, I just happen to play the trombone and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramaniscence Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I've played trumpet for something like 16 years? I'm not JJT but I can handle this. Transpose it down 1 half step, and send me it. ...or don't even tranpose it, but it'd make my life easier. I don't know how well trumpet will record but...I'm up to try it.

Level 99 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Haha okay, whoa, totally did not expect this kind of reception to the WIP. You know, there's really no such thing as "good sampled brass" for this kind of style, so what the hell! Let's get this super-mega-collab going! If y'all are gonna do some brass for it, I'll expect y'all to do writing for your instruments that would be much better than what I had planned. I'm pretty sure just one of you should write the parts for ALL of you, so things all sound good, but first let's start by listing who's doing what: Vocals: cyrilthewolf guitars, drums, main arrangement: Level 99 Sax players: cyrilthewolf and Xenon Odyssey Trumpet player: Ramaniscence Trombone players: PrototypeRaptor and HitoriJaNai Fratto hasn't posted here yet and Luke's not confident in his ability, so unless Fratto comes and really REALLY wants to get in on this or Luke has a change of heart, I'll leave it to PR and Hitori if he can figure it out. Looking at that list...holy crap, wow. Thanks guys! I always joked around about starting a ska band, but damn that is a tasty line-up even if it's for just one song. Rama, what I can do is transpose the song down half a step for you to play, and then take your part and pitch-stretch it up. I hope that would sound decent....hmm... So, which among you feels like writing all the brass parts for everyone? Also, I just talked to Avaris, and he's willing to take on the task of mastering everyone's live parts so that they sound as similarly-mixed as possible.

Xenon Odyssey Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 1 half step wat isn't it a whole step? I could do horn parts but I'd definately have to wait until after the semester is over (I don't know what kind of time-frame we're looking at here).

Ramaniscence Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 wat isn't it a whole step? Trumpets (at least mine) are in the key of Bb. BUT that means I need it transcribed UP, doesn't it?. Way to be paying attention, self. But yea I completely forgot we have all kinds of correction and stuff now. Just send me whatever, I'll play it <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitoriJaNai Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Okay, sat down and figured it out. As long as I can get my mic to stand straight and put it in the right area, you should have me in on this. Always wanted to do this song on the trombone... had no idea this would be how.

Level 99 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Honestly, the time-frame for this is "whenever we can get to it". I have a ton of project mixes I'm working on currently, and this one is definitely one I want to finish but don't feel that it needs to be SUBBEDRIGHTNOWZOMG, so whatever time-frame works for people is fine. I'd rather have this done RIGHT as opposed to done FAST, as this is the first time I've worked with a possible full-brass section I for-sure don't want to waste the opportunity. So, Rama's down, Xenon's down for after the semester/when he gets his mic, still waiting to hear who wants to tackle writing the parts? Edit: and Hitori is definitely down, so that's wonderful. Whenever we sub this, we should talk about using a pseudoname to cover our group as opposed to possibly having, like, eight people credited on one mix. More on that later, though!

PrototypeRaptor Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I have quite a bit of knowledge with scoring for these instruments, so, if you'd like me to have a stab at it, I'd be more than willing. Unfortunately, I have a brass quintet to finish first, but perhaps that could be slightly delayed...haha oh, school work... Anyway, I'd need to know the style you want - I'm getting a very streetlight manifesto vibe from this...(IMHO) Although, if the vocals were in the track it would make this sound 100x more cohesive - any knowledge of when they'll be done? BTW, I think I know a bari player, if nobody here could cover that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitoriJaNai Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I've got no problem with that, really. PR is likely more experienced (and by likely, I mean totally), and I'm willing to work with whatever he comes up with. Y'know, this really is a ska buffet now, isn't it?

Level 99 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'm getting a very streetlight manifesto vibe from this...(IMHO) Heh, guess it's a little obvious that they're probably one of my favorite ska bands, eh? The only one I can think of that I love more are The Skoidats. But anyways, yes yes YES! Streetlight-vibe for this all the way. If you can get that style of brass in there, you have no idea how awesome that would be. PrototypeRaptor, I'll leave the brass scoring in your hands. If you can talk to your bari-player as well, go for it. I'll send cyrilthewolf a PM today asking when he thinks he can get the vocals done by. And yes, Hitori, way to state the obvious joke at hand, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I'd love to play bass for this if you want more people, hahaha. This sounds like it'd be a ton of fun to groove to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 99 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Cheers to Stevo and the gang for what seems like a collaboration of huge proportion! Looking forward to how the song will turn out. The blessing of Dj Mokram is enough mystical power to fuel a thousand suns, so it's more-than-enough to make me happy about approval on a mix idea, haha! I'd love to play bass for this if you want more people, hahaha. This sounds like it'd be a ton of fun to groove to. Umm, I'll have to think about it. I'd say no harm in possibly sending me some bass stuff you groove out to the song, I'll let you know how well it fits if you want. I do like the adequate bass in there at the moment, but if you're feeling advantageous, go for it and send it to me. I'm planning on updating the OP to show the roster as it stands, and will add DeathBySpoon if his bass ends up making it in there. I sent Cyril a PM today, will let you know what he says about having the vox ready. PrototypeRaptor, do you have any idea how long it would take you to write the parts for everyone? If not, no worries, I just want to get a rough idea if possible. Since there are so many people now involved doing parts large and small, I think it's best to work under a group-name. There are many reasons for this: should we choose to work together again in the future we already know what title to work under, it keeps the tags on OCR cleaner, and we get to sound like a real band ZOMG:tomatoface: please suggest some names, as the ones I'm coming up with are pretty crap: Big Pink Suits Meta Knight-Life Tomato-Eatin' Kirbies Dedede Manifesto Almost all obvious rip-offs of other ska bands already, my mind is a blank today.

Xenon Odyssey Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Real Big Marshmallows or to divert away from just the Kirby stuff: OVERCLOCKED MANIFESTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrototypeRaptor Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Alright, I'll get down to work on this then. Need some info first: Do we have an alto and a tenor? Or just two altos? Or two tenors? Need a more specific type than just "sax" haha Can you guys read changes or do you want to keep it more simple with written solos/solis? (since jamming would be kind of difficult to do) Also, I'd be much obliged if you could finish laying down the rhythm section so I would know exactly how much time to fill, unless you'd rather me just write the parts and then you work them into the track. This is going to be totally badass, though. Just sayin' as far as the name goes, I like working overclocked into it. Not sure about Overclocked Manifesto, but overclocked "______" would be pretty sweet. I'll think about it for a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
