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.

Thanks!

(Still finishing secret tracks of listenable quality for a Christmas release - it's not too late to submit more!)

I have a late submission.

http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/src/COOL%20FREE%20MITTONE.zip

COOL FREE MITTONE stage 2 (208 bpm)

Real life (and procrastination) helping, I'd like to report the release by a week to make it coincide with the new year. Since the music isn't Christmas-themed in the first place I hope you guys won't mind too much.

It's still possible to release tomorrow but I'd rather take the time to make the overall QUALITY higher.

Would that be OK?
Apologies regardless of the VIPPER's choice.

Need to definitely make sure this album is definitely of VIP quality.

Go for it. I'm curious though...how many tracks does this thing have?! It seems like this is going to be one large zip!

Well, it will be for the new year then.

>>106
Lots, large.

Does the album have any cover art?

>>109
More or less
http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/src/1259153931831.jpg

>>110
if you told me I could provide you with something VIP.

There is still some time to offer something VIP-ER, VIPPER.

(And there's also a bonus COOL FREE RINGTONES bonus cd that has no artwork yet too)

>>112
I asked a famous VIP EXPERT to identify which one was better, but he also suggested to ask some more VIPPERS, so here we go:

http://exehost.webege.com/img/src/1262035507536.png

or

http://exehost.webege.com/img/src/1262035538497.gif

or

something completely different?

for the COOL FREE RINGTONES I'll try to cook something utterly different tomorrow (I hope.)

Hey it's >>97. My hard drive started to fail the day after I posted my creation. I've been trying to salvage things off of it, but I haven't had any success. As such, I don't think I'll be able to post a revised version of my track. I'll keep trying but I doubt I'll be able to recover it before the deadline if I am able to recover it at all. You don't need to include my submission if you don't think it's up to snuff. Also, if anyone thinks they can mix my track into something more QUALITY, then please feel free.

>>114
I don't really get it. I think the photo was better, it had personality and looked homegrown.

I agree with >>116, especially since it has a pun (homeGROWN, flower pot, etc).

>>114
The dark is bettar.

Whatever we use, I think we shouldn't have any explicit or easily googlable reference to SAoVQ, so we won't have to avoid sharing it to protect our Quality.

I planned to edit the photo to add a few things (like a sticker advertising the BONUS RINGTONES CD LIMITED ONE TIME OFFER) and to make a tracklist in the same way as the photo, so if someone else prefers to do the cover, please decide quickly and consider providing a PSD I can edit with the final tracklist.
Besides the author and maybe >>118, anyone wants one of the pictures in >>114 to be the official cover?

Same if someone wants to do cover art for COOL FREE RINGTONES (for which I have done nothing yet).
Its tracklist is RINGTONE 1, RINGTONE 2, and so on, but I don't know how many there will be yet, so it should be editable.

another ringtone...for some reason I fail at posting on the imageboard.

http://www.djzovi.com/zovi/mayoisnailringtone.mp3

>>114 here

nevermind, I'll reuse the image for something in the future. I have no current ideas for COOL FREE RINGTONES.

maybe I'll make up something quick tonight, involving taking a picture of my cell phone and screwing with it and overlaying it with some pretty text in InDesign.

I did exactly what I described.

http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2981/cfr.png

I have the psd if you think it's good enough. Anything to add?

Also, apparently naming it c o o l f r e e r i n g t o n e s . p n g set off the spam filter.

P R E T T Y C O O L
Then I could do a reverse side with the tracklist in the same theme using my HipsterPhone

>>125
OK, I did.

I'm on the edge of my chair waiting for this to finally be released. VIPPER sure knows how to work some suspense.

It's a matter of less than 24 hours now! Or maybe less than one hour!

>>127

Me too. I hope GENOCIDE BY BOOMERANGS didn't disappear in the storm of new year celebrations.

I didn't, however some inebriated annoyances came over to my house without my consent and demanded I celebrate some sort of change of decade kinda deal, squandering precious hours in the process.
I want to make my tracks suck slightly less before I unleash them upon you all, please. I should be still Jan 1st in SAoVQ's timezone when I post it.

Still working on stuff.
So, with tpb going trackerless and mininova dead, where is the best place to upload a torrent nowadays?

>>131
Fapis aka Deadfrog

Fapis would be nice considering the DQN albums are all there too.

Ahh I can't believe I totally missed this collaboration! The result was awesome, and I hope there's another album so I can contribute something

>>134
Or you can just release your stuff here in this thread: http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/res/5967.html

Or you can just put together a self-released EP.

I had a similar "when's the next one" reaction from a participant in the mail.
Now that we know that there's some eager talent around, maybe we could make this a semi-regular thing, but I'm afraid people might get bored of it very quickly... I dunno, what do you VIPPERs think?

Considering it took 4 months to put this one together, it's not like it's going to be very often that we release one. I say very yes.

I think semi-regular releases would be cool. I hope it wouldn't be too much trouble for GENOCIDE BY BOOMERANGS.

For anybody who plays Stepmania here, I have made a simfile for the guided tour of the tanasinn chamber. I recommend 2x or 3x, as it is an xmod file.

http://www.mediafire.com/?zzymyofmgfo

As this simfile attempts to be the closest thing humanly possible to making steps for tanasinn, only VIPPERS with extreme levels of tanasinn will be able to pass this. I would suggest FailOff.

> I hope it wouldn't be too much trouble for GENOCIDE BY BOOMERANGS.

It wouldn't (not that there's any particular need for me to be the organizer). So, should we get ready for FOUR MORE MONTHS?

>>139
Oh god lol http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/3307/53296697.png

Well, since there is some interest, let's do it again the same way!
Let's try to do a new album for sometime between April 1st and May 1st.

• Once again, the music must be made especially for the album. That's the only real requirement. VIP Quality themes are welcome (but not required or preferred to other things) and every style is welcome.
• We don't have high quality standards, but I may choose not include some tracks in the few cases where I feel most VIPPERs would agree not to include it, so that the results are fun to listen to. (In other words: if you are a beginner, you'll get included if we can hear that you took the time to do your best, and it's better to keep it short).
• Post a link in this thread or in SAoVP (MP3 in ZIP file please) to contribute in public.
• Send the files to dqn.dqn.lol@gmail.com to make a secret contribution.
• In case we need a wiki to collaborate on stuff, the project page (currently empty) will be here: http://tanasinn.info/wiki/VIP_Music_project_page
• Be sure to tell if you'd rather I did things differently
• We need a title. Any ideas?

If we're considering making it a series like DQN ELECTRONICS, we could come up with something to tack on the beginning or end of "Homegrown VIPtronic Album", like "Another Homegrown VIPtronic Album".

...

I don't know, I'd like to keep the word "VIPtronic" somehow. It's a cool word.

I just realized that I forgot to include a ringtone that was posted only on the wiki. Apoligies to Acostoss.

My friend and I are planning on getting together a track. It will be simple, and it may not even be good...

But it's the thought that counts, right?

I suspect I have mistagged a lot of things and made a lot of mistakes by trying to be "helpful": I apologize to anyone who got his artist name retagged to VIPPER if I shouldn't have.

So please include with your submissions all the following so that I won't get stuff wrong again:

> A simple message indicating that your post is indeed a submission of your original content to the album
> How the track title must appear in the release
> Which artist name must be used. "VIPPER" is the default choice for anonymous submissions.

>>144
Of course, the barrier to entry is just meant to avoid having the "these are eight minutes filled with two chords and a drum loop" kind of submissions. Ideally everything sent gets included.

>>145
I don't plan on it being much longer than a minute, so hopefully it will get accepted!

I updated the wiki page.
(sage not used because it might be helpful.)

>>142
Maybe we could continue the series with different adjectives than Homegrown then.

>>148
I like that idea, but what could we use?

Stonethrown?

OVERGROWN

Glassblown.

\m/ Hellspawn \m/

Well anyway, I made a song for this already. It's incredibly obnoxious, but somehow catchy. I tried to make it simulate the rush you get when you are VIPPING...or perhaps a shot of caffeine in the morning. Or both.

http://www.djzovi.com/zovi/THIS%20SONG%20IS%20INCREDIBLY%20OBNOXIOUS.mp3

>>155

You're right, it is incredibly obnoxious.

I am going to try to compose a piece of "music" for this, and it will be the first time in my life I do that!

>>155
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING OBNOXIOUS ABOUT IT!!

We're making unhelpful software recommendations on the wiki if you care: http://tanasinn.info/wiki/VIP_music_software . Good luck!

>>158
I like the page VIPPER! I made sure to contribute some.

>>158

Excellent. Be prepared to hear awesome shit-tastic music from yours truly!

I couldn't stop fucking around with 'Audiotool', pretty impressive for something built in flash.

http://www.mediafire.com/?ldzmy3zmqh4

I just got into tracking and I'm having a blast! ^O^
Well I made this for my girlfriend but I think VIPPER should hear it as well.

http://www.mediafire.com/?1unwyymannq

>>163
Great song, Sir VIPPER!

ダヂクルのVIP伝説 - VIPPER - Viptronic 2

Daddycool no VIP Densetsu was a game released in 1985, only available in Korea for the all-original Samsung-Nida Entertainment System. It sold exactly one copy, mostly because the game cost more than most Koreans make in a lifetime, and could only be paid for in VIPCOINS, which weren't available in Korea until the mid-'90s. The plot involved Daddycool on his quest to found the Secret Area of VIP Quality, facing enemies such as horses and JEWS, while rescuing friendly lumberjacks in each level.

This is the title screen and first level music.

Now hopefully I don't screw up this post again.

>>162 and >>163
Can you confirm as per >>145 that these are album submissions, and confirm what is the title and what is the artist name for each track? I insist to try not to get any detail wrong this time!

>>167
I demand screenshots!

>>168
Sure, what the fuck, I'll call it a submission. The metadata is correct.

>>167
Good work on that Power Ballad, VIPPER.

>>168
>>163 says yes, this is an album submission. Artist: evelyn - Title: Tabitha Catherine

I'm working on a submission as well. Here's hoping I actually finish it before the album fills up.

I'm probably going to submit something better than that "incredibly obnoxious" song. Probably like...actual trancecore. I'll probably end up making it next week sometime....

>>167
I love this.

If we get overenthusiastic we can change the deadline anyway

I like the deadline at the moment, at least for myself. As I have never actually made music before and have no talent whatsoever, it gives me enough time to figure out how to use software and be able to maybe produce something decent by the time we put the album together.

Another submission?! Yes! Sorry if I'm becoming a nuisance.
evelyn - It's Fucking Cold In Russia (seriously)
http://www.mediafire.com/?nzjqujjgmgb

I was randomly watching videos on youtube then suddenly this happened

VIPPERsaurus flex - John Goodman really likes triangles
http://www.sendspace.com/file/o8klhv

>>178
The tags on the mp3 itself say it's VIPPER - John Goodman really loves triangles. Which is more correct?

>>179

I was originally just gonna be VIPPER but I came up with VIPPERsaurus flex as I was posting that so go with that.

>>180
Okay, so is it 'likes' or 'loves'...or 'wants more of'?

>>181

I forgot about that bit.

...Surprise me.

This album looks like it's going to have even more VIP quality than the last one!

So I sent this into Genocide for a "secret" submission but screw it, I'll just post it here too. It's a gabber/trancecore song, and not absolute shit like ARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARAGI-SAN or that other song I submitted earlier for the second one that I am now retracting due to stupidity.

DJ Zovi - D A D D Y C O R E
http://www.djzovi.com/zovi/daddycore-v1.mp3

...I figured out it also sounds good as a nearly-10-minute-long 135 BPM tech house track (genre?) of sorts. Still 320 CBR mp3 so it's a hefty 23 MB. Whatever.

http://www.djzovi.com/zovi/daddytech.mp3

Also this ISN'T A SUBMISSION it's just something extra~

...this is moving too far down the thread list. Needs a bump, even if this is a triple post.

Anyways, I made another song. This'll be my last submission to this VIPtronic album I suppose. It's splittercore.

DJ Zovi - Bu-n Like a VIPPER (MIKU SPLITTERCORE MIX)
http://www.djzovi.com/zovi/bu-nlikeavipper-v2.mp3

>>185

I noticed this two. Luckily I have a song I made recently and a collaboration I did ages ago but both parties completely forgot about which I can post tomorrow.

But for now, bed!

A day late but here they are:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/wnm281
http://www.sendspace.com/file/9f9jic

I have a submission. It's another minimalist thing made with LMMS.
http://www.mediafire.com/?3uygj03tyyz

Is this still going?

It better be. If Genocide doesn't want to continue it, I'll produce myself unless someone better suited wants to. I want to see this happen because people have submitted cool VIP music already and I'd hate to see it go to waste.

Well, I'm always around, but I think I won't be able to submit anything if we stick with the May 1st deadline.

We can either have me package what we have for May 1st, wait about one more month for submissions (including mine-sorry), or have someone else take over packaging responsibility this time around. What do you guys prefer?

Taken that a June 1st release would be exactly half a year after our last release, it would actually make a lot more sense. I don't mind waiting, as long as it does in fact get packaged.

If anybody minds the wait I'll reconsider, but otherwise I think having these two months instead of one will allow us to make have an album-length and -quality release. As I'm sure I've said earlier, you guys should feel free to take over the project if you don't like how I manage (or in this case, do not) things or if you suspect I have gone AWOL (not that I plan to).

sorry for the involuntary bump.
I approve of the June release.
I'll try to give some of the several tracks I've been working on before May 1st.

BENOISTです。

I also approve of the June release. Hopefully I will stop aborting tracks and finish one by then.

I've got some things I'm working on that probably would be fitted to work out on June a bit easier.

lol locked groove
