Beginning concepts

     Alright folks, we're getting started on this 'high fantasy themed electronica pop recording collaboration'!  I'm very excited about this and i'm stoked to have all of you on board, got a good group of people so far (introductions down the road - most of you probably know each other).

     I'll be using this blog as an update of what's going on and adding inspirational material as well as links to sound ideas, lyrics, conceptual ideas, artwork and the like...

     THE PROJECT: Lets build songs over the internets. We'll start by collecting some stems , however incomplete.  Would like to sound like... sparkly - bubblegum pop(but bubble gum that elves would chew) - magical sounding (in the literal sense of casting magic spells)

     What i'm getting right now is skeleton beats and song ideas from those of you who want to submit (just got my first rough song from nate and it's amazing already!) i'm working on some myself but not so good at the drum machine stuff. I see my role as organizing and putting together the pieces as well as filling in any necessary gaps.
   
     This video is what i've been sending everyone for the initial idea, there's alot more out there but i have yet to settle on anything as spot on as this. let me know if you come across anything that you like!

    And finally here's some art from one of the great fantasy artists Boris Vallejo ... -b
