Title: TI-Band
Post by: Speler on October 23, 2006, 03:49:00 pm
I have decided to form a TI based band where we sing about TI Calculators and stuff like that... anyway since I decided I have gotten Netham45 to agree to sing (whether this is good or not we will find out...) and I'll play bass and write.  

We currently need:
-Drummer
-Piano Player
-Guitar Player
-Flute Player (WOOT!)
-Various People on Various Instrumets willing to play solos
-Writers

All people who join must have a way to record traks so that we can play together (you send me your track and I'll send record over it etc.).

We also need a name...

Official IRC channel is #TIBAND

I want to focus on pycodelic (sp?), rock or funk which are all really fun to write for, but would be willing to do anything really besides Hip-Hop or Metal types, Killerplayer, do you play anything?  If so I can probably get you the minimum equipment for recording pretty cheap (with some research...).

Yes I have been playing guitar for 2 1/2 years but I don't think you would like my playing cause I play like From First to Last guitarist Travis Ritcher(look at my signature and see their image :)smile.gif )

Heh, right now any guitar player would do... I don't care about your style of playing honestly as long as you like to play and if you want to join this.  Don't worry about recording, really all you need is a couple adapters an amp a computer and some software to record for this.

Awsome, you can join.  Basically, I'm going to have to buy a new adapter to record (I lost my old one) then record a simple bass beat using a metronome to help me keep the speed.  I'll tell you guys what notes I'm playing and I'll make sure this is a long song (10 or so minutes) so as to allow one solo to everyone who wants one.  Basically, I'll give the recording to you, you record what you want over it, you give your version to someone else etc. and we leave lots of space for solos.

The first two orders of buisness:
-We need some TI related lirics, as CHEESY as possible.
-Most importantly, we need a name, something that says, "I'm a TI-Geek but I still rock more and harder then you or any of your other loser HP freinds, I stick my finger of TI-ness at you".

I'll have to come up with some way to record (hopefully that won't be too hard...). Can anyone else here read/write tablature (for guitar & bass). That would simplify the process of putting together stuff that sounds good...

Names (you wanted corny, right?):
Graphic Mashers
Homescreen Freaks
T.I.I.T.
Xtremely Basic
Assembly of Rock
z80

hm... I do sing adequately, I suppose. I was in the "Freiburger Domchor" for 7 years and we had some neat church-sponsored tournees to japan, south africa and stuff :Dbiggrin.gif
I tried to learn keyboard, but still can't do more than a few chords and... ah well x.x

And I do not have anything to record with that has a high enough quality (headset)

More news: I've been told that I am getting exactly what I want for X-Mas, because it's cheap and practical: a PCI card for my compy that will let me plug my guitar/bass/whatever in and record it! Yay!

And I'm getting an 8-channel mixer board, so that'll be nice too...
