As I suggested in the DQN ELECTRONICS VOL 2010 album thread, let's make our own VIP Quality music release!
Any contribution is welcome, so long as it is VIP Quality, and created for this project. Multiple contributions are obviously welcome too.
Once we have enough tracks, or once everyone has lost interest, and no later than in exactly four months (a deadline will keep us motivated), we will distribute by torrent and direct download.
To contribute music or artwork you can post your work in this thread, or to keep it secret until the day of release, you can send it to dqn.dqn.lol@gmail.com .
We can use this thread to discuss what to do, what title we want to use, plan collaborations, etc.
In case we need a wiki, let's put our stuff here: http://tanasinn.info/wiki/Homegrown_VIPtronic_Album
To prove that I'll be somewhat reliable, I am the guy who packaged Title, who harassed the participants to send in their tracks, and who did the worst songs on it: rest assured that unless nobody participates, something will eventually get released.
Someone suggested we just use "Homegrown VIPtronic Album" as the title. Other ideas?
Also I am available to create a musical accompaniment for other people's quality singing and dramatic reading.
is this just going to be a second iteration of "Title"?
Title was kind of unentertaining
>>3
Title had to follow exactly some pretty boring and unstructured lyrics, it led to horrible filler. There's no such a requirement here so we can do whatever.
Hmm, this would give me a chance to finally mess around making songs. Too bad I know absolutely nothing about making custom VIP tracks.

Download Audacity, press the record button (red circle) to start recording. Press stop (black square) once done. Export as MP3. VIP ensues.
I'd love to help, but I don't have much musical experience and I don't want to be one of those annoying nerds who puts out "expermental" "noise" music using a pirated copy of Reason and the Wikipedia page on "syncopation."
Maybe I'll just upload a track of me sobbing in pidginized, highly-accented Japanese about how I don't have any talent and nobody loves me because I'm a "hikimori."

You could do a parody of experimental noise. Record yourself sobbing in pidginized, highly-accented Japanese about how you don't have any talent and nobody loves you because you're a "hikimori", then open it in audacity and add echo and reverb, maybe change the pitch in a few places. And use lots of cheesy wah-wah.
We should call the album COOL FREE RINGTONES.
And we should have some of those on it.
I can't use the last word of the first sentence twice without triggering the spam filter for some reason.

I also like this title.
>>11 I like this as well.
I have no clue what i'm doing but i'm going to try making something anyway.

I thought it'd be a good idea to put my cat on my keyboard and things just went downhill from there.

I know that much, but I meant about doing COOL VIP REMIXES with custom music, not singing.
I'm not a musician, but I figured "ah what the hell" and ripped an old 12" single and made a cool drum loop from it. But now I don't know what to do with it!（ ﾟДﾟ)
Speed it up to 300BPM and throw some anime samples over it. You too can be m1dy.
I don't know what I'm going to do for this project yet, but I'm going to do something. Something VIP.
That's the spirit, gents!
I have a few ideas too. One of them involves AM2 games, it doesn't get more VIP than this.
> Is there a deadline for this?
In the first post I gave the figure of 4 months. If you guys insist it be done sooner or later than that of course.
(I just realized that four months after 08-23 means it'll be packaged exactly for christmas.)
Do we expect enough participation to have a limit?
Unless your tracks suck horribly in non-VIP ways, many of them would be welcome.
(Feel free to use different artist names on each to simulate the existence of a grandiose VIP collective.)
Also how about we make a few 10~20 sec. ring tones?
i'm starting this weekend and i'm so excited
I'm gonna screw around in Renoise and hope that I come up with something quality.
I don't plan on submitting anything, but I'll fiddle around with Fruity Loops and Garageband and see what comes up. I have no musical tallent whatsoever.

I have made a ringtone.
Unless you want oldschool MIDI ring tones, in which case I will make one of those instead.
>>28
Is it COOL? Is it FREE?
Maybe we can make it a double release with a COOL FREE RINGT◯NES BONUS CD and whatever the VIPtronic part is to be called.
And if you guys don't mind, maybe the ringt◦nes could be stripped of their names (RINGT◯NE 1, RINGT◯NE 2) to keep the surprise about their contents. Tell me if you mind of course!
>>15
What is the artist name of your cat? Should the track be simply labelled as made by "VIPPER"?
(I feel like we're gonna trigger the anti-spam filters often ITT)
>>29
I had it tagged as "VIPPER and Microsoft Sam feat. A cat"
I think he would prefer to remain anonymous, but for the record, his name is actually Longcat.
