Some random music I found
#1
Yup, I found some random music I made on my HDD. I thought some of it may be interesting.

Those Hills: This one I made when I got my Roland MT-25 keyboard on Feb. 2005. I love how the strings section sounds, that keyboard has a really nice wavetable. The song is somewhat odd, but I kind of like it. Has tons of chord changes Tongue get it.

La Granja Pepe (Pepe's Farm): LOL - In 1991 I was 12. In February I decided, with two friends and as a game, to "start a band". We recorded with a simple casette deck and we couldn't play any instruments, so we did odd stuff. Hell, we were 12 Big Grin I still play with those guys. As a joke, I arranged one of those songs from 1991 *properly* and recorded it. Somewhat bluegrassy and contryish, but funny. get it

Ugly (Smashing Pumpkins cover, live) - Well, my band and I have been "re-arranging" that superb song for a while and we managed to change it almost completely :lol: Originally intended to be in Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but afterwards cut off and included in the single "1979" as a b-side, this is one of our favourite SP songs 'cause of the incredible lyrics Billy wrote for it. This is a rehearsal cut I particularly like. The sound is rubbish and my pal's voice wasn't very good after having smoked quite a bit that afternoon, but hey. I play synthesizer and add backing vocals. The singer also plays guitar and our bassist does analog bass on an ancient analog Casiotone keyboard get it.

Radioaktive Noize (Demo) - This is some kind of demo I made for a song we had to play live like two days after Tongue It consisted on a sung chorus, then an incredible recitation. This is the "musical part". The recitation came over those noisy riffs. get it.

Patria o Muerte (My land or die) - The title of this song was kind the "slogan" of our fascist government last century. We made this song as a joke - The song is about someone who dies :lol: the last verse refers to the stupidty of marks, flags and political nationalism which creates xenophobes. This is a live cut - the vocal harmonies were difficult to do while playing, that's why they sound a bit out of tune, but it's scary enough. I play piano and sing, my pal plays guitar and does the main voice, my other pal plays bass and sings as well in the harmonic parts. This was a rushed arrangement as well. I think this may be the third time we played the song together. get it.

Lyrics translated:
I feel how my body and my soul go appart
I feel how my life scapes by my hands
I feel how I start to cry for those moments in this world.

My Land or die, for my Land I die.

But it couldn't last for an eternity
And the day of my death had to come.

My Land or die, for my Land I die.

I used to love my country and my flag,
And I sang my hymn solemnly, humming it.

Work will set you free
Work will set you free


(you know, my country's hymn doesn't have lyrics... or at least nobody knows them Tongue; the "work will set you free" is what Arbeit Macht wrote in the gates to some concentration camps in Germany during the WW2 and is there to make a better picture of what we wanted to express - it was pretty controversial... but we wanted impact to talk against nationalism and racism.)

If you wanna watch us playing some odd stuff, do a search for "scumm" at youtube. We are the band, discard all those ScummVm videos :lol:

I swore i commented on this thread Tongue

Very nice stuff. But did you post "those hills" before? it sounds pretty familiar. Patria o Muerte really rocks my world (i can't believe there isn't a better phrasing to describe that yet).

keep up the goods!
the mind is a beautiful thing, use it and make the world a more beautiful place.

Most of them are live recordings of rehearsals or gigs, and are recorded using a single computer mic. The quality is as good as you can get with that equipment :lol:

@Mech: I might have posted those hills before, but I can't remember... You know, drugs are bad.
