GMC Forum _ Collaborations _ Heavy Water Collaboration

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic May 19 2011, 03:21 PM

edit : Here is the result, enjoy :



* Hey everybody, it's been some time since my last collaboration. This time, I made modern rock track (backing) that has several interesting sections for improvising, but I'm not satisfied with it yet, I feel I need more creative thought on it. You can listen to it bellow! smile.gif

* There are tons of talented and hard working people here at GMC. I would like to share this track with you, and invite you to join me in making it better! smile.gif

* Let's try to make something interesting here shall we? smile.gif I'm planning in making a music video out of this, and I'm sure you all already recorded yourself playing on some track. Well, all you have to do is play this track, improvise over this one, do your best and show us your attitude, and the collaboration will ROCK in the end! biggrin.gif

* For this collab, I ask for help from both instructors and members to make it work. This track won't be that much without your contribution guys, so the more there are of us - the better! smile.gif


Here are some guidelines for this collab, to get you started:


1. Tempo is 150bpm
2. Key is C#m (relative major key is E major)
3. Track structure is: INTRO - VERSE - CHORUS - VERSE - CHORUS - OUTRO
4. You can choose to play over any part of the track, and loop it, and I will do my best to make room for all and edit the takes so that they all fit together nicely
5. I will need a video of you playing, and guitar track (without the backing)
6. Anything regarding scenery, your behaviour, tone, or ideas that you might have is up to you, be creative! However, if you insert inappropriate content I will need to blur it out biggrin.gif
7. Deadline for posting your takes is set to 5th of June!


If you have any questions, let me know, I'll be glad to hear out any suggestions of ideas regarding this track, and be glad to insert your solos or rhythm parts into the track! YouTube will decide if we did a good job! biggrin.gif

Very nice composition Ivan - I am going to give this one a go!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu May 19 2011, 03:53 PM

Me too biggrin.gif I've got no experience with collabs but I want to start so biggrin.gif let's roll! My first collaboration smile.gif!

I'll be back home on Monday (leaving for Athens in the weekend) so, i wanted to ask, when is the deadline? I didn't see it anywhere and that's why I'm asking biggrin.gif

Great! I'm in also smile.gif

Posted by: K1R May 19 2011, 04:28 PM

I'll try to do my best smile.gif

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic May 19 2011, 05:08 PM

Sorry for not posting deadline! smile.gif Let's set it to 5th of June, and see if we got enough material by then! smile.gif

Works fine for me smile.gif

Thanks mate! smile.gif

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl May 19 2011, 08:42 PM

Ok here is my take of the beginning.

My idea is that between 00:19 and 00:40 someone reuses (and possibly improves) the ideas I presented in the intro - to make it more like a song. Perhaps using a slide? Maybe just with more distortion/dynamics/heavier vibrato? Hopefully you get the picture.

From 00:40 I added some more licks

Also there is probably room for dubs/harmonies over my lines as well - so feel free to experiment with it!

I am uploading the whole backing again to make it easier for someone else to lay down some ideas over it and upload - so we can get a smooth and spontaneous creative process! cool.gif

Oh and once again - this is a killer backing Ivan!

I'm liking this! I might just give it a shot! smile.gif I'm not that good at improving but I'll do my best in whatever I do. Maybe I could do rhythms this time...we'll see. happy.gif

Posted by: Chris Evans May 19 2011, 10:13 PM

yes! very cheeky backing Ivan, I`m gunna get in trouble with Ben now, I`ve been playing over this all night instead of my assignment ohmy.gif

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic May 19 2011, 11:00 PM

Glad to have you onboard guys! smile.gif


Thanks Kris, that's a cool idea! smile.gif The track already sounds much better with some lines on it! smile.gif


Posted by: Brandon Earman May 20 2011, 04:14 PM

I will do my best to contribute something to this collab. It sounds fun and I want to represent GMC on YouTube biggrin.gif

It will be my first recording with my Guitar Rig 4 Kontrol edition which I ordered online today. cool.gif

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic May 20 2011, 04:17 PM

Man this collab is gonna be sick biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Posted by: Todd Simpson May 21 2011, 07:14 AM

WOOHOO! Been waiting for another killer Ivan Collab! Count me in! Man this track is cool. The intro sounds almost like early Police mixed with Bad Brains mixed with Ivan! This will be just perfect for solos. It's the idea song for sonic exploration. Very well done and the mix is great too. YOU FREAKING RAWK!

I think we should make some IVAN RULES buttons and shirts. Better still, a regular collab series called IVAN'S RULES where Ivan makes up the rules to new collabs each few weeks, e.g. no distortion, no right hand work, only egyptian scales, etc.

Yes ! I thought it sounded like a rockier Police too smile.gif

Agreed. I think IVAN'S RULES is a great idea and would certainly help us break out of our comfort zones and explore some other areas of playing ! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic May 21 2011, 11:40 AM

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like the track. It will be a lot better with the help of you guys! smile.gif

Posted by: Todd Simpson May 21 2011, 07:20 PM

So what do you think about creating the IVAN'S RULES collab series smile.gif If you do, I'm in!

It's sounds a bit "aggressive" when I think of "Ivan Rules", but then again "GMC Rules", that could fit biggrin.gif

It's not so bad if it's "Ivan'S Rules".. like the rules of Ivan.. that's what Todd was going for. I think that's pretty cool smile.gif

Oh, please excuse me Todd, I wasn't spelling it correctly! Thanks Ben! smile.gif


Well, sure why not having collab series, I think it's a great idea! smile.gif

If you like the way delay sounds on the backing - I suggest you to keep it! smile.gif

It's definitely about making a part of it, and making it better, and I guarantee guys, the more of us on the collab, the better it will be. So, let's try to make something, I have faith in all! smile.gif

Indeed, it's an honor to have all of you guys on board for this one! It's going to ROCK in the end! biggrin.gif

So far, lots of cool takes, and awaiting more! I'll record my take in couple of days as well (can't wait)! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Todd Simpson May 28 2011, 02:14 AM

No Worries! Yeah, I was thinking

"IVAN'S RULES"

As IVAN would be making up the rules! smile.gif Like,

*No Distortion
*Pentatonic Scale Only
*Only 8th notes.
*etc, etc, etc.

Just some sort of "rule" to make each collab in the series Unique and Challanging.

What do you think guys?

Here is my take smile.gif I did it with ONE HAND just for fun! smile.gif We are going to cover the "One Hand Technique" in this Saturday's Video Chat lesson as well. I"m hoping to use this Track in the Lesson if it's OK with you Ivan?

Here it is. Enjoy!

Thanks Ben! smile.gif It did take a few hours of practicing it to play the whole thing without my other hand. It was almost a research project to see what licks worked using this technique. It will make a great plaform for teaching left hand strength during this Saturdays' Video Chat Lesson!

Thanks! I'm all about the Technique! smile.gif

Here is the solo with the backing. I recorded it live in one pass so I just realized I don't have a solo only version of this take but I'll record one that matches the video. For now, here is the solo with backing from the vid.

 HeavyWaterCollab_V2_AUdio_only.mp3 ( 2.52MB ) : 135


FINALLY:) Here we go. I re recorded just the solo without backing and played to the video. It's a new recording but very close to the vid. It was actually tougher the second time smile.gif

Thanks a lot for the takes so far, very nicely done! smile.gif

I will start editing soon guys, and there are 2 more days for the takes. I got notifications from some of the members that they will finish on the 5th, so I will wait until then before I start editing all together! smile.gif

OK guys, this is the last day for posting your takes for this collaboration, and I will get to editing all the material so far after 12 o'clock! smile.gif

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 5 2011, 09:04 PM

Alrighty Ivan smile.gif since my working conditions were a lot similar to Beethoven's (I didn't have any monitoring while recording because of the trouble my PC has put me through) I've recorded a lot of takes and chose the best 3, mixed them with the sound and uploaded them here. smile.gif if you need the wav files for the recordings let me know.

Alrighty Ivan smile.gif since my working conditions were a lot similar to Beethoven's (I didn't have any monitoring while recording because of the trouble my PC has put me through) I've recorded a lot of takes and chose the best 3, mixed them with the sound and uploaded them here. smile.gif if you need the wav files for the recordings let me know.

Hey Ivan - the crowd looks great biggrin.gif biggrin.gif K1R, thank youu tongue.gif it's honey burst I think - it belongs to a very good friend of mine who gave it to me for tests smile.gif It's a very hot guitar and the amp gain should stay at a minimum level, otherwise it's like a racing car, you can't control a thing about it biggrin.gif

OK guys, quick update:

I'm rushing to a gig in one hour, and the video is rendering. It will be done in 2 hours (yes, 120 minutes for 8 minute 720p video smile.gif ). This means it will be up when I get back probably! smile.gif

Did this get posted somewhere and I missed it?

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jun 16 2011, 07:23 PM

A little status update: I have worked closely with Ivan to optimize chances of this video to getting lots of youtube hits - it currently looks like the end product will be very cool! biggrin.gif

I need to ask you to patiently wait another week until we have everything set to go, we hope to get it up asap!

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jun 18 2011, 06:15 PM

I just saw the video on the front page and it did turn out really well! Congrats to everyone on their efforts. Also a very cool promo vid for GMC! Some very cool solo's as well. Very well played everyone! All of your practice is paying off! I liked it so much I"m going to actually use both hands in the next Collab! smile.gif
