Hey guys, thought i might kick start this idea. Its great and i think it will be a great bonding experience. Everyone can get involved!
I'm uploading a song which is in midi format (sounds terrible) but will give a rough idea of what it sounds like.
Nothing is fixed, it's only my take, and i would appreciate all suggestions, especially with regards to lyrics and melody. I think the hook is definitely not as strong as a cheiron song, so cmon guys lets explore this!
Hopefully we can finish this song (one of many i hope) by December.
So we need:
Lyricists
Composers
Singers
Pianists / Keys
Guitarists
Drummers or someone with a drum program
Engineers / Mixers / maybe even masterers? lol
I hope everyone can contribute something so we can have a huge song credit list lol.
Its all in the name of fun!
Secski.
PS. I'll get the link up shortly to the mp3 which has intro/verse/chorus.
OK, its up for 45 days apparently lol on http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=zfcm0dcg1rd
Oh and if you guys know how i can upload this and future mp3s to a site with direct download rather than waiting 60 seconds, let me know please!
or, we can use the mp3 posted from tonos! its a bit livelier than mine...
Unfortunately I can't listen to the song right now but I'm already voluntary for the singing part, at least. I have loved editing voices with music maker for some years now and I'm trying to learn cubase and protools. I've also trained my voice on many Cheiron instrumentals and I think my voice is best suited for typical pop. Singing is really a passion.
I also play the piano, I guess I can also help with the melody and of course the lyrics...
Thanks for taking this project at heart like this SEXY! :P
OK, so Sabine seems fairly confident with vocals... :) thats good.
I dont like the chorus at all, so will need some catchy hooks!
Oh and we need someone who will act as a producer as well! This person/persons will need to point out how we can get the song to sound a little like a Cheiron song.
Cheers ppl, and i will post further mp3s mid next week (thinking chords on piano with simple drum beat). This is just a bit of fun so relax and contribute!
hey, i listened to the mp3 you uploaded and honestly, i think it really lacks catchiness, the melody is complicated. we'd need something with very few chords, a song you can remember instantly, as the cheiron crew knew how to do so well!
if it happens to be too hard to come up with a great song, we can use max's 2 demos for tonos as a first pattern... just an idea.
yeah, i didnt like the melody much either :)
haha if everyone could write like cheiron, it would be so easy!
back to the midi room i go... (oh, feel free to contribute coming up with the chords :) ) I dont wanna give up just yet...
ok, this is another take :D (recorded through the computer mic)
random, occasional words, almost-random chords lol, very nasally annoying singing (sorry!)
http://www.gigasize.com/get.php?d=2xhsknbr3yb (Verse / Prechorus / Chorus)
haha, suggestions please...
i was tempted to borrow parts of the melody for 'sometimes' and 'drowning' for the beginning section.
You never really appreciate how difficult something is unless you try it yourself! :)
I think we need to get Andrea to help us out! I'm not giving up, but it is a LOT harder than it looks!
yes , it is very difficult , I can make melodies sometimes when I'm inspired but they are a bit ridiculos because are without lyrics , my melodies are very BSB , uptempos cheiron and midletempos .
secski, i love the verses of the first track! could you send me both track in MIDI format?
ok... i used secski verses and i edited them a little... then i made a prechorus and a very catchy chorus (i hope...)

I looooooooooooove it , is too cheiron , but the melody remind me to oother song lol
hey andrea if I send you vocals melodies could you producer it?
Hi there!
I really like what secski have made! That's really cheiron.
But it has to much of "shape of my heart" at the the end of one bar/beat.
But you got my respect!
Andrea could you upload just the beat and the chords, without melodie? I will try to make one. Maybe we could put everything together. :)
Btw, how do you make this guitarsounds andrea?
Regards
i edited the melody a little... now you've got a version with or without the melody, so you can do your experiments... now i'm leaving for holydays and i will come back in september... have a good work together! :)

@ Vanth: I use a famous VST called Virtual Guitarist...
@ Raul: I think that the singer of the song should be the one with the better microphone and the better stuff for recording...
well done guys, this is a great start!
Andrea, I really love your song! I will try to write lyrics on it...
Hey Everybody!
I'm Sound engineer Student.. :) I can Help .. but i'm at my parent's house up to the end of september..
I don't have a lot of stuff here.. sad..
But I Could Help to produced , and Mixed The Song!
I need training! if I want to have my internship In sweden the Next Summmer ! haha
Hey guys, I just had a quick look into this here and listened to andrea's song.
It's beatiful, keep the good work up, I'm sorry I can't contribute anything right now, because I'm just too busy starting a job.
Yes Nico, you can be of great help with the song.
The verse of the song is good but it's a bit hard to think of a melody and of a full project without the chorus...
Melbourne, Australia based producer here at your service...
I just had a listen to the song.. nice work!! love the snare sound LOL... OK if you want me to guys I will play real guitar and bass on it for you, add some Cherion style percussion and mix it. Please upload JUST the drum part and I'll re-upload it with live guitar and bass.
One part of the melody sound VERY "as long as you love me"...
Nice, very Cheiron'ish but the chorus needs to be tightened up a little.. Sounds too much like Richard Marx' "Right Here Waiting" in the chorus. Try simplifying the melodi a little, find a catch hook/phrase and repeat the same hook in another way (rhythm or tones). good luck
I know this is like 4 years old, but I really wanna hear what you guys made! All the links are dead! Someone post plz!
Wow it has been a long time! PM me if you want my midi, lost Andrea's version when I lost my drive, as well as my secski email password :)
