Interesting. I was thinking more like muffled, soulful, slow-paced
singing with lingering notes, cutting to sparkly, faster, more urgent
pieces when everything crashes back in. Sigur Ros meets Portishead
and Bjork.

Really nice backing track!
In my opinion, the best vocal accompaniment to this track would be a
spoken voice piece, preferably with a scottish accent (think a cross
between Iggy Pop and Prolapse in their more laid-back phases, possibly
Coil). Hi James,

I agree that working together rather than in turn is probably best, I
wouldn't hold your breath waiting for a vocalist.
Singing is a lot more personal than playing or composing and I think
people will be far less likely to come forward and bare themselves.
I hope somone proves me wrong, of course!
I've been going back over some stuff I did a
while ago, and found
something that I decided to take in a slightly different direction.
I have a rough cut of the new track at
http://dis-dot-dat.net/content/music/sv_WIP.ogg
What I want now is a collaborator or collaborators. Mainly vocals and
guitars.
There're plenty of open spaces in the track for focusing on the new
parts, so you can show off in the breaks.
If anyone would care to have a listen and knock up some parts, I'll
fiddle with putting them in the track.
Vocalist must bring own "lyrical skillz" - I've tried writing lyrics
before and ended up with the most puerile and naive drivel.
I hope someone takes the bait, er, I mean opportunity; it would be
interesting to see how something like this would work.
I downloaded it, and I
kinda like it. I think I can come up with some
guitars to that. I did some fiddling around to the track Thorsten posted
some time ago, but did not post anything of it, since I was not that
satisfied with my playing on it.
My vocal abilities are just enough to sing some background in my band.
So I won't do any vocals for that. But in order to get along with vocals
it would be better for a potential vocalist to come with some lines
first, so I can accompany them and we don't get into each others way. I'll take the track home tonight and see with
what I can come up. I
think I can post that tomorrow.
That's great. I very nearly wrote about what kind of thing I'm
looking for in the original mail, but then decided not to. If I
specified the kind of sound I'm after, it would influence people and
give us less room to explore.
I'll share later, of course and maybe what I'm expecting and what you
intend to do will match up. Either way, it should be fun.
If I think of some good lyrics I will certainly have a
go, but
I don't think South-Eastern UK accent is quite so up there in the cool
stakes!
Haha, well it's better than what I've got - High-speed dumb-sounding
Blackcountry.
Ow am ya?
I'm sure there are hundreds of other ways to go
with this track
though. It will be interesting to see what people come up with.
Yup, I can't wait.
James
