Chicks in bikinis shooting silly string from their tits, and a sedated rhino. I had an ultimate stadium track in mind. I spent a good few months on it, but somehow never got past the build-up. I've got all the separate beats etc if you want to do something, just let me know what you want.
I'll probably stop posting for a while to let other people have a go.

*tries blog on for size* perfect fit!
I've been rummaging around my hard disk and found a couple of tracks I made a year or so ago, that I thought i'd share. This one is called Seek Help and is a tough house track with old school hoovers. I'll upload another one at some point soon, and hopefully get my act together and make something new!

ANYONE WANT TO RAGTIME?
I found this archive of old record cylinders from the early 1900s
I was thinking we could have a bit of fun with these. My favourite right now is this one, I plan on doing something with it but I am not quite sure what yet.
If you feel like playing with any of these songs, post them as comments here. If you need free hosting, go to cr3ation - there's a link to your right.
NO-FI, MOTHERFUCKER.

Let this be the hastily assembled, likely to be changed FAQ.
I want people to feel free to post whatever stuff they want, be it little loops, guitar solos, harmonica farts, or entire finished songs but the idea for this place is to be more of a "we made this" thing than an "I made this" thing.

I got a bit carried away typing on my whore-post when it should have really been put over here. Read the above. I'll add new rules in the comments of this post, and if you have any questions about what I'm aiming for here, or why people are pissed off at you, put the comments on this one. I'd like people's posts to have interesting discussions/offers for help etc rather than people whining about the rules.
The most important thing is that there shouldn't be too many rules if people are going to have fun here.
The two golden rules are:
1: Don't be a cunt
2: Please recognise that someone might have put a lot of time into their stuff, if you don't like it, either offer constructive criticism, fix it yourself or DON'T POST A COMMENT. People will get the message if no-one ever responds to their posts.
From here on in, I'll just be amending this to further explain exactly what "Don't be a cunt" means should the need arise.
Oh, I forgot to mention - all interesting/original shapes, forms and styles of music are welcome here. Please don't post other people's work and try to pass it off as your own. That shit is wack.
edit: Tahkcalb has suggested a handy "how to" for people as well, which is a good idea.
YOU WILL NEED:
a) INTERNET
b) a sound editing program - Cool edit pro is my weapon of choice, but I don't get many people agreeing with me. Now that I think about it, very few people agree at all when it comes to sound editing programs. Some noteworthy ones are Acid Pro, Cubase, Reason (for advanced users) or fruityloops (for beginners). Depending on what you use, you'll need a wav to mp3 converter too - I use Alive, which has done the job nicely for me. I've never tried anything else or had a conversation with anyone about other wav to mp3 converters on the market, so if you're the discerning type of wav to mp3 user, you might want to get advice from someone else.
c) An idea of your own or the desire to see someone else's idea come to fruition
d) Hands, or maybe just a mouth and lungs
e) Depending on what you do, a musical instrument.
Step 1:Use your hands to operate your musical instrument and your computor and make the sounds sound beautiful with your new pogram.
Step 2:Host an mp3 on the internet - if you don't have your own hosting, give cr3ation a try, it's lovely.
step 3:Post a link as a comment if it is a reply to someone else, or as a new post if you're allowed. Please only post replies as new links if the old post is archived.
step 4: step 3 was the last one.
PLEASE DON'T POST WAV FILES. Try to keep your mp3s under 6mb, but if you have to go longer you have to go longer. I can respect that.

Anyone feel like singing?
I made this a while ago:
I'd give this song a name if it was about something
I keep either deleting what I write when I'm having a moment, or I just hate it anyway.
The general feeling I wanted here was a sort of happy, domesticated, at home with good friends kind of thing. Of course, this being the first time I've tried this, I'll take whatever I'm given.
Cr3ation is a great host, try him out if you need one. Just remember the bit about copyright files. That also applies here.
Post an mp3 or midi as a comment, if people become regular contributors I'll probably let them post. If I already know you just let me know, I'll probably let you guys run amok straight away, as long as you promise to stay on topic.

Stuff I've posted on b3ta but not here.
My self-indulgent pile of wank
This one, which shall also remain nameless for now
PRIVATE PANTS PARTY TIME - THE SONG
The last one had contributions from a few people on the board - You'll see them if you click the link. I really like the idea of a bunch of strangers with (generally) more imagination than musical talent getting together like this and would like to see how this goes.
I really want the idea to be that people can just download and listen to the music, and if they want to, mess around with it and post a new version. I don't have any big dreams of being a millionaire and I'm happy for people to hear my music. Of course, if someone tried to sell it as their own it would really piss me off. I'd have to use my internet skills to defame them.
Who knows, if it takes off I might actually set up the donation thing. I'll be sure to give it out to the people who join in.
Leave comments and shit, so I know who's interested in doing what.
