I just laid this down. Thoughts?

ps. yeah yeah I know. I just come up with it and posted the bounce. What you are hearing? a bass a bigmuff a lot of reverb and delay. Also what I did was played for about 10-12 min and then cut it in half and brought the second half up to the front and then hard panned the two tracks it's called empty-peanut-butter-jar

That is a fantastic idea. I love these sounds; what's the source?

Source? Fretless Pbass > green bigmuff > computer> Logic [pluggins: enviroverb, tape day, compression on each track, ambiantverb, stereo delay on output] that's all there is to it.. well and I had a empty peanut butter jar sitting in front of me or do you want me to make it downloadable or something?

It'd be kind of cool if we got plenty of ILFers to contribute or collaborate some original tracks then maybe make a Bandcamp page for it. We could do a name-your-own-price deal and all the proceeds could go to the hosting cost of the ILF

Heh, I of course offered to organize right as the semester started and work cranked back up. I really dig the idea of the ILF Bandcamp page, that's a super cool idea. I'd be down for setting that up once we got a few tracks in.

That's a great idea! Are we going to worry about mastering tracks to make sure volumes are roughly lined up, or should we just make it a judge-fer-yerself free-for-all?

Edit: also, I'm working on a track right now that started with my BILF board setup - seems like a natural fit for an ILF noise comp...

Well, mastering as far as volume leveling should be pretty dang simple, so we might as well.

Yeah I think mastering it is a good idea, if anyone can?

We just need someone to organize the Bandcamp and grrface stepped up for that. Then we would just need someone to hold on to all the tracks, organize them and master them. I'm pretty busy (aren't we all though?) but if no one steps up I can organize everyone's pieces. I don't think I'd be able to master it though, never done that before.

Also it would be cool to see this become a periodic thing, like an ILF record label of sorts. Just a thought

Looks like grrface just beat you to the punch on mastering shizz. EDIT: Ooops, no - I misread. He just said that it would be a good idea.

It would be great to see this become a periodic thing. Should we set up some deadlines for submissions for this first round?

One, I totally dig on organizing the Bandcamp, web stuff is one of my fortes. Also, ILF record label?!

After the end of this week I'll have some free time to do recording again, get something done then. Not really sure whether to go with abrasive atonal/arhythmic noise or trent reznor/shoegazey prettier things with a beat. Probably #2 if it qualifies as 'noise', because it sounds more fun.

Noise is noise. This will be fun!

I'd say it does count, I like hearing different styles rather than just the more abrasive stuff.

As far as a label goes I'd love to start an ILF label (with Tom's blessing) for all sorts of fuzzy bands and solo projects alike. Don't really know about logistics though as I'm not well versed in Music Business (accounting student here ).

But if a couple of members would like to get it started I'd love to. It would definitely more of a DIY label with a focus on free promotion and more creative types of marketing. It would definitely be aimed at smaller bands and solo projects to give kind of a unified community of fuzzy music rather than a marketing/promoting/booking/financing big time label. I'd love to have an artist on the team that could maybe do cool album art for people and someone who maybe has some internet marketing knowledge to help promote the bands in a creative but free way. I don't know if there will be a huge financial side to this since it wouldn't be a huge label or anything, but if we work out specifics I'd be happy to keep track of those. If I see more interest I'll make another thread.

I so want to do this. I'll see if I can get something down tomorrow (provided my schedule allows affords me the time).
EDIT: LOL nvrmnd, my recording sounds like shit.

Well I guess since I want to see this started, I'll organize all the tracks and such. Can anyone master them though?

Grrface is handling the Bandcamp so we're good there. Is anyone able to do album art or something?

How about people email me their tracks along with any information (name or band name, track name, etc.), I'll do like 20 submissions max just so we have some kind of cut off point

i can master the tracks... i'm super retarded when it comes to converting to wav files for bandcamp.

What email should we send it to?
