Poist-Rock Appreciation Thread

I don't think it uses real musical notation for that, though.  So it would be really tedious to read off of.

DAMMIT THIS IS WHY WE DONT DO COMPOSITIONS

Is it possible to have garageband export a score?  I could use some practice reading notes anywho.

I might be able to get Claire in on a song. She told me "she misses singing". But she also told me she hates me.

Dylan can do a decent imitation of the vocals on "War", that's as close as we're getting. And he'll have a chance to show off those vox on Of War. Also, to make Of War easier to make, we could - instead of everyone saying all the lines - assign certain lines to certain people or something.

I thought you guys might manage to do alright by listening to five seconds many times, then recording to those five seconds, and then moving to the next five seconds or something. But that might be incredibly hard, I only ever did something similar once and it took quite a while.

Also, Dylan and I might want to agree on a key/multiple keys for the whole thing so that it isn't just random noise.

That would be a good idea.

I also just remembered something I wrote in garageband that is uber complex and rocks out hardcore. It might be crazy hard for you to learn, but if you listen to it a lot - and I can actually tell you what the notes are if you're having trouble figuring it out - we could do it. It's really short, too, so it wouldn't be too hard. And I could also send Jake a bass track only, and Dylan a guitar track only. Want an upload?

And you guys just take it one bit at a time, and play something to it. And then at one point I'll just keep a steady beat and we'll all do polyrhythms, playing something a beat longer or shorter or something, and then all end together, it will be magical.

OMG MINA'S BACK

So, we were going to do some work on our super complex song. I don't know if we should just have one of us start out with a riff and just play in some wacky signature, or if we should go with the drums first.

Well, I wouldnt consider it 100% STC territory if I'm posting in it...
