Guest test pattern

so i am working on an album

to be more specific, its composed entirely of samples from 20s jazz tunes

it is almost in the 1st stage of completion (all songs completely composed/arranged)

so i would say it is at least demo quality

the style is sort of a cross between some of amon tobin's less-drill stuff and dabrye....a cross between simple and complex, but the beats all are pretty house/downtempo/hiphop based with the music staying complex despite being loop-oriented...

anyway

this is a cohesive album that i am considering releasing (only a handful of people have heard some of the older versions of selected tracks) and i am wondering if i should try and shop it to an actually label that prints cds and lps....or just try to use it to get exposure etc.etc. and get a net label to release it...

the last time i tried the demo thing was like over 3 years ago, and my material had no maturity to it....

this album covers a wide range even though its all based of similar sounds and ideas....its dark as well as playful at times....somes times dense'n'choppy n sometimes dancy...

so yeah

i know it kinda hard to answer me since you havent heard any of the tunes, but just tell me any thoughts you gots...

 

ps

if you got an idea for a title that'd be tight too

the theme of the album is the roaring 20s....like all the titles have to do with mobsters,alcohol,booze,jazz...right now its called: prohibition jazz....cuz my clever-braingrooves havent activated yet...

okay first of all

 

post some samples here

 

second

 

select only the best of the beat and add more saxaphone/trumpet to it as the leads

 

thirdly

 

release it on brown vinyl only 50/100 copies=only 1 disc per record(meaning slect the top 4 or whatever tracks)

 

fourthly

 

create a webiste as simple as can be, with maybe no audio sample, the only thing the site does is give the customer paypal options, no background info

 

fifthly

 

send some copies out to reocrd labels=20 tops=rephlex/warp/what ever

 

sixthly

 

enjoy

Guest yan_g of course!
I bet they sort of work on systems. I think it might be recorded without a line input though.

nah, you can only play it with this system. but you can record an lots of supports, such as cardboard etc, i'll post samples if i get it to work.
