Shoegazish rough sketch thing

[Jollyollyman]

i made this with my 404, a guitar, microkorg and a drum loop. i'd really really like to add vocals to this, but i can't think of any good melodies for it, and even if i did, i can't get my voice high enough for this. something sparse and subtle....like shoegaze vocals are. also, i don't know if this is really good enough to have vocals or not.

so i guess i'm asking for feedback and also if anyone who wants to try and give it a melody, i'd be super elated. so its like an open collaboration of sorts...

warning, it is a little loud, and starts off right away full volume

Dig this wall of sound kinda stuff. Wish I could offer a melody, but got no skills lol. Just wanted to say I peeped, and liked it tho. A good departure.

[Jollyollyman]

it's cool, melodies are frustrating cus all my favorites from bands and whatnot are only 3-4 notes but its easier said than done

thanks for czeching it though

nice aiku!
some My Bloody Valentine and Flying Saucher Attack here (or some Galaxie 500 too...)

^thanks man, yeah, those are definitely the obvious influences but i'm not ashamed.

i listened on headphones and wow is that guitar tone not good, i gotta fix that

I can almost hear where you're going with this. I think a good bassline and heavy drums can really help direct you to the promise land.

^thanks man, yeah, those are definitely the obvious influences but i'm not ashamed.

me too i'm not
"isn't anything" and "loveless" are masterpieces.

[Jollyollyman]

^definitely, sueisfine in particular never gets old.
