No Future supergroup

[kams]

Lets start a band...

I'll sing - Knid can write the words (he's on Mute you know) - spandex can play his cheesy bell...

who else wants to join?

Lalaalaaa oi oi ooooh baby yeah!

[kams]

seriously... I'm for a collaboration musically if anyone fancies it.

[V Knid esq]

I can do the Wyclef Jean thing and shout "one time... two time" after every other line.

[kams]

your booked son...

[kams]

anyone fancy the tambourine and bottle of gin job?

[thembuzz]

i'll play kazoo

[gypsy_cream]

i can sing really well in a trashy out of tune voice

[kams]

ok knid send me a sample of you singing 'one time'

& thembuzz - send me little riff on the kazoo..

to kams_tcp@yahoo.com

i'll get started on the arrangement. Anyone else want to join in?

[kams]

ok gypsy_cream.. we need some words for you to sing...

[Spandex]

I can do disco monobass with PITCH BEND.

I'm buying a washboard as well.. with a jalopy horn.

[kams]

ok... a bit jazz maybe, but you convinced me Spandex... your in also.

[TheWasp]

can i play the spoons ?

[kams]

yep

[Tim Exile]

I'll do a noncey house remix and send us skittering into the charts ;)

[shuttlecart]

can i play the hairy banjo?

OK... Tims in for 12" upfront club mix

[Yer_Maw]

I can play timpani, this it, if anyone has a set i can borrow?

[V Knid esq]

I'm play a mean pink oboe solo too.

[kams]

I'm serious (in a not very serious way) everyone send me some samples of themselves playing silly instruments... we could pass around and get others in for remixy fun. Then Tim can mix it into a top ten House track and we can all go on top of the pops and pull moonies.

[kams]

To be honest Knid - i'd rather you didn't send me any recordings of your pink oboe solo. One mans sweaty grunting should remain his own pleasure.

[Orang Utan]

Need a trumpet player?

[kams]

Of course. You can stand to the side of the stage and do a little dance in time with the horn stabs.

[Paddy]

i'll play the saw. i'll play the comb too.

[kams]

at the same time? This is no gimmick band you know!

Maybe you can alternate between them on different verses?

[Paddy]

yeah, i meant to say i'll play them alternately.
i can't actually play the saw but i've always wanted to learn!

[kams]

saws sound excellent

[Ava]

i'll play melodica

[kams]

good good - the more the better - it is a supergroup after all.

[MUX]

ill do the cover if ya want

[decadnids]

i'll to a kalimba solo.

[kams]

[Hagbard]

I'll turn the light on and off, roughly in time to the music.

What's a kalimba decadnids? I've only ever known it as one of the mysterious high-number general midi instruments, alongside the caliope and celesta.

[kams]

near the helicopter/police siren sound fx?

[Ava]

thats the one!

[decadnids]

its an african instrument also known as the thumb-piano - i currently have 3 of them - very nice instrument, similiar to the mbira

[Ava]

ah, ok, i like thumb pianos - didn't know that name for them though. i'd like to get a thumb piano actually

[decadnids]

ava, they are great to play .

the next thing i buy will be a mbira.

decanids do you buy or make your own contact mics?
i'm looking to get myself a couple in the summer to start doing some audio stuff again.

[decadnids]

FiST - yeah make my own use a piezo transducer and solder it to a mono-jack plug.

http://www.mcld.co.uk/oddmu/tincanbass/piezotransducer.jpg

well cheap to make. then just tape the thing to what ever (good for acoustic guitars; floor boards; glass; the side of a bucket - anything really)

[Hagbard]

I've made my own contact mics, piece of piss and dirt cheap.

If anyone knows anything about commercially available ones then do tell.. other than the £10 acoustic guitar type jobbies.

[Loz]

can I do the dance when we're on Top Of The Pops?

yeh total piece of piezo to make but i kept breaking them, being a bit clumsy. looking for ones that are a bit more sturdy really.
cheers tho.

[Hagbard]

Heres one.. http://www.atscomms.com/Line_Card/Product_Pages/Sanken/Contact_Mic/contact_mic.html

appears to be €17k tho...

[Konx-om-Pax]

i'm on the electro triangle (it plugs in)

[kams]

can we take the contact mic chit chat, interesting as it is, to the audiotech forum perhaps kids? Blimey - we're trying to start a band here!

Loz - yes you can do a dance... would you like to be in charge of costumes as well?

[TheWasp]

i also have a didgeridoo , i'm piss on it , but i could club anyone who laughs at us with it

[kams]

yes agreed - digeridoo's are best used as weapons rather than instruments.

count me in for that - I've got some smooth-moves I could pull :)

[kams]

wicked - Like Pans People?

[Daddys Girl]

Oh yeah - I can go for that!
In between dancing, I could belt out a nice tune on my recorder - or sing a bit too

[kams]

yes yes all good - we're lining up nicely now!

[Loz]

ok, I'll handle the costumes. What are people's opinions on sequins?
