Entmoot Album...hehehe - Page 2

Arathorn · 10-11-2002, 10:34 PM

I'd like to help in any way; but what can I do?

Laurelyn · 10-12-2002, 09:27 AM

How cool is this anyways?
Thank you so much, Finrod Felagund, for starting this thread!
And Radagast The Brown -- I don't think you'd need to be in the US to do this, just so long as you have a microphone and an email that can send really big attachments. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get around Hotmail's attachment size limit, myself, but I'll figure something out.
Wait . . . if we're really going to do this, we probably need some sort of organization before we stand a chance of getting off the ground. Any ideas?

Radagast The Brown · 10-12-2002, 04:02 PM

I don't have microphone, but I think one of my friendsd have.

and I hope my email would be generous. I don't remeber what is its maximum size. but I tried to send video file, and it was too big.

We have to get start somewhere... to who we're going to send the music files?

galadriel88 · 10-12-2002, 11:09 PM

Not me, because I've had some trouble burning mp3's onto CDs - it doesn't want to convert them to wav files, it seems. But anyhoo, I think the first thing to decide is who's gonna sing what? I think that if some of oyu have songs that you have written yourselves, you should sing those. I'm terrible at writing songs myself, so I'll just sing something already written, thank you.

Let's do this - anybody who wants to definitely sing on this album needs to say so in this thread by, oh lets say Wednesday. Thursday morning i'll check back here and post a final list. So far we have: myself, Sween?, samwise of the shire, Renille, Ms Undomial, Elenka, Garina, Laurelyn, Radagast the Brown, ArwenEvenstar, Duddun?, and osszie?. Arathorn, like to burn CD's?

If so, you could help out there, or you're also welcome to sing. And Finrod Fegalund, would oyu also like to sing? Wasn't real sure on that. All of you with question marks in your names, I need you to confirm that you are going to sing, for sure. Oh and about copyrights - as long as we give credit where credit is due, we should be fine. Hows this for organized, Laurelyn?

webwizard333 · 10-12-2002, 11:13 PM

<looks around for Tess, who has the Entmoot hop>

Where is he?

galadriel88 · 10-12-2002, 11:54 PM

Good question, haven't seen him in a while. He might do this, you know!

Laurelyn · 10-13-2002, 12:10 PM

I'll burn CDs if Arathorn won't, I have a CD burner. Yes, I'm in, Galadriel, thanks.
Very organized, by the way.

I'm assuming that once we get our final list of singers we'll start working on songs and who-sings-what?

Arathorn · 10-13-2002, 12:38 PM

I have a burner too. I only ask for an on-line repository of the recorded mp3 files so I can download from the office. I can bring my burner there.

Blank CD-Rs here can go as low as less than 15 US cents a piece.

galadriel88 · 10-13-2002, 02:33 PM

Wow, that's cheap! I guess you can do it then... About having the mp3's online, if you go to mp3.com you can join as an artist and submit mp3's that folks can download, so I think that's prolly what everyone should do, I believe the process is rather simple but I'll go there myself and check it out. And yes, after we get the final list of singers, we'll decide who's singing what.

Laurelyn · 10-13-2002, 03:13 PM

You can join mp3 as an artist?

*scuttles off to check out mp3.com*

osszie · 10-13-2002, 03:19 PM

I'm afraid my singing skills leave something to be desired, including a range of octaves

so I'll have to decline

good look with the album tho

............. isn't anyone going to do a cover version of The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins?

***IronParrot*** · 10-15-2002, 08:40 PM

Last January I actually did a recording session at a friend's house, improvised piano accompanying vocals - both by me. It turned out okay... my voice was a bit out of tune, and perhaps a bit drowned out by the fact that I had no separate mic for it.

Playing an instrument while singing along is much harder than it looks.

Anyway, I'm going to actually prepare some piano + vocal stuff before I take another run at recording. I arrange all my stuff... I hate playing off pre-arranged pop music full of crap chords and no room for flashy improv, so I just play off melody and chords. Well actualy, I love transcriptions of the masters, like Tatum and Brubeck and Evans and Peterson and such... but I can't reach a tenth comfortably, so that doesn't really work out. Grr.

Ms. Undomial · 10-16-2002, 03:06 PM

Wow! everything is organized! is it ok if my 2 sisters join us once we are ready to record? they are very good. both of them are in their teens so their voice has matured somewhat. one can sing really high and the other can go pretty high and is very good at singing in a forign(sp) languge(sp) ( elvish for example). please let me know. this will be TONS of fun!

galadriel88 · 10-16-2002, 10:47 PM

That's fine by me, Ms. Undomial, they sound like very accomplished singers! IronParrot - I would LOVE to be able to play the piano that well! Please do something for this, I'd love to hear you on it!

Oh, and as a reminder to everyone, I will be checking here tomorrow morning around 6:30 CST (that's GMT -6 hours) and posting a final list of those who are planning on singing and/or playing an instrument. I also play trombone but I can't imagine playing anything for this....not much time to buy music and practice! But for those of you who play piano or any other instrument are welcome to do that instead of or as well as singing. This is so exciting, I can't wait!!

galadriel88 · 10-17-2002, 07:38 AM

Here we go, the final list!!

myself
samwise of the shire
Renille
Ms Undomial
Elenka
Garina
Laurelyn
Radagast the Brown
ArwenEvenstar
Tessar
frodosgirlfriend
IronParrot
Finrod Fegalund

And here's a list of the possible songs I've thought of (so far): May it Be, In Dreams, anything that you guys have written, any songs in LOTR that we know the music to (like The Road Goes Ever On), and I think it'd be fine if we threw in some songs that we love but aren't necessarily Tolkien-related. (Quality music please - no Britney Spears, Metallica, or anything like that!!!!)

frodosgirlfriend · 10-17-2002, 09:57 AM

wow! if it's not to much trouble, can i be added? i do sing solos in church alot. my moms friend is a piano composer. and i'm not bad at writing music, but i'm not good a writing words for the music

. the one song i wrote was a second verse to that pretty poem BoP used to have in her sig a long time ago. and i don't think i know anybody with a mike... but i do have a nice tape recorder

.

***IronParrot*** · 10-17-2002, 12:43 PM

I could join in here, but I need a place to record...

Or I could send over some tracks from my old CD, but they're honestly not that good.

***Tessar*** · 10-17-2002, 04:26 PM

Where is he?

YES! I'LL DO IT!!!!

But I'm warning yo.... Oh never mind. Everyone says that...

Anywho. I'm a bass. what are Yalls?

***Tessar*** · 10-17-2002, 05:24 PM

Also can I PLEASE try a male (bass) version of 'may it be'? I would really love to try and then we could have a girl and a guy version.

What ever you guys think though.

Also I'm not going to be able to get anything up till atleast late tommorow/day after because the recorder on my comp is messed up (noooooo not NOW God!!) and I need a mic to do it one the main one.

Wish me luck at wal-marts

***Tessar*** · 10-17-2002, 05:35 PM

(omgosgh, back to my spamer mode from when I joined!!)

Also, how do you convert stuff to MP3? Do you need a special program thing?! I hope not. Do you just 'save as' and then type in MP3? We have a new computer but I don't see an MP3 option on it. I would most likly use the generic recording program that comes with windows. Can you not make MP3s out of those?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! SOME ONE HIT ME!!!

I'm a little excited....
