Potential timelines...

We're coming up on the end of the first month of HiFaThElPoOnCo2013 (High Fantasy Themed Electronica Pop Online Collaboration 2013) and I'm starting to think about a timeline for the whole operation.  In order to keep thing s pretty laid back in the spirit of the project, I'm going to set some loose deadlines to put us into the next phase of the project.

Let's say... deadline for foundation submissions Monday, DEC 16th. - Obviously I'll take stem/canvas submissions for basic track outlines or drum part ideas and whatever after this date, but we'll be moving onto the second phase and they might be put on the back burner.

The week of DEC 16 I will be sending out the collected tracks to those of you who've expressed interest adding additional parts to songs for HiFaThElPoOnCo2013.  Ideally the add ons should be completed within a week or two after they are assigned - we'll continue this process til a track is ready for vocals. 

Third phase is adding vocals and should be able to start doing this around the new year or sooner.  Lyrics/concepts are in the works and I have some vocalists in mind, and have contacted a few.

LAST POINT: The following is a list of people who have already submitted/showed interest/and that i mean to contact... no last names for obvious reasons, this is more for me than anything but if you should be listed and you're not, let me know!!  If you want to be a part of this project and aren't on the list PLEASE CONTACT me... bwilliam.young -at- gmail  . We still need beat makers/producers, song arrangers, chord progressionists, melody makes, synth wizards, lyrcal/story conceptualizes, visual artists, graphic designer(maybe), vocalists, reviewer/promo people, and anything else you think might help!!!!
If your name is listed and you want me to stop harassing you about this project, let me know and i will haha. -b

SAMPLER 2 and other stuff..

Hey everyone!

Here's this weeks sampler!

    The first groove is something i made from the sound sample pack that I posted here a few weeks ago, I'm pretty glad it turned out so well! let me know if anyone has ideas or a second part for that one.  - -
    The second sample song is an Enya-ish stem progression called ELF1 that i came up with and then sent over to Nate, who added a synth bass line, extra synth parts and piano! sounds great!
    Third one is Nate's new stem, also sounds fucking great, he sent is to me as DWARF1, over which I had a good chuckle.
    Last one is Georges realization of a beat that i beat boxed into my phone the other week, thanks George great work!

   Please contact me if you have ideas for these or would like to lay something down over one of them! More to come as always... -b

Danny Elfman.

  Not super related to this project... aside from the fast that i love this man's work. he does talk a bit about his process and some other interesting bits. I liked hearing about working one on one with Tim Burton was basically just goofing off and tossing ideas back and forth, with no one else in control. The description of visuals in relation to the music really resounds with me. Mad respect for Elfman and Burton obviously... maybe something to think about as we move along - thinking about visuals and story arc as the lyrics and feel are created... more on this later.

    Also i'd like to say that alll the music that is coming in is helping to realize the overall vision, story arc, lyrical content, feel, etc.. so of course it remains an experiment and very malleable.
   And not to leave everyone in the dark I'll have content post with the new songs and such tomorrow.
