Rock Opera / Concept Album: The Picasso Album (working title)

[Gritter]

I'll take "Cup Of Coffee" please!

[launched]

I'm not sure if what is happening is the fun way to do it, but I'll take "The Old Guitarist". It's mine! Mine all mine!! But if we are going to do projects on our own, I'm going to go all the way with it and create it from scratch.

I might be interested in "Joie de Vivre"  or maybe a small part in a collaboration of some sort.

 To be honest, i'm not really sure what is expected from the music other than the small description mentioned.
Is it rock, pop , or whatever a person descides? Is it instrumental, or vox to be added?
I Dont have the windows program mentioned either.

I might not be the right fit here, if not, disregard.
 Sorry if i'm clueless rushed through these threads with distractions behind me from the kids here.

Ken, we are putting together a collection of tracks all inspired by Picasso paintings. The "glue" behind the concept will be Fuzz Face, who is providing the lyrics for each track. So there must be vocals, but the style is whatever you think suits the painting and the lyrics that you choose to do. You can do one on your own, or work with others. I would suggest a combination of you and ORH (Jim) for vocals would be a killer.

The only caveat is that I will do the final mixing and production on all the songs so that we get a consistent "feel" and volume level, so when you do your track, please keep .wav files of every indiviudal track so that I can take the individual tracks and mix them on the BR 800 with consistent mastering.

Make sense? I'll put you down for Joie de Vivre and pencil in ORH for vox. You can always change your mind....

Cheers,

Nigel

Are we to keep our efforts under wraps 'til the Ferryman has buggered about with 'em and presents a final full 'album', or can we post the songs as and when they are completed?
  And on the subject of 'lyric manipulation', I trust Fuzz Face will have to accept a little poetic license.

I like that idea, when a person gets a song done to post it up in Original songs individually, then after Nigel (Ferryman) gathers the lot and re-mixes/re-masters to post them again in some kind of album format, similar to a festival juke-box.  Nigel may sit on the songs a long time (Not saying you are slow Nigel, just that it may take many months to gather all the songs together from everybody).   I am real impatient when I finish a song, I usually cant sit on it, I want the whole world to hear it.  I agree with Hen here.

On the subject of the lyrics, they are brilliant Fuzz, but I may end up changing the odd word as I get down to singing it, depending on how it sounds to my ears.  I believe that is reasonable, I bet even Elton John does that.

I bet even Elton John does that.

        He'll scratch Bernie's eyes out if he can't....

I hope this is the case as well. Fuzzman's vision is proving to be an excellent source of inspiration, however!

I like this scenario as well. Plus it will take a while for Nigel to download all the wavs - And the initial post will provide some critical information that might help the final mix.
