GMC Forum _ Cosmin Lupu _ Industrial Metal Collab
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 7 2013, 02:24 PM
Hey amigos!
In order to celebrate my participation at an industrial based metal project, I propose the Industrial Metal Collab!
The things are really simple - improvise your lead lines over this track using the suggested scales and not only and send the tracks to me until the deadline! We need to makes this an angry one, so let your hate chops loose on the backing track 
Tech specs:
Tempo: 140 BPM
Time signature: 4/4
Scales: Eb Prygian Dominant
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
Material format: one .wav track containing your solo and one .mp3 track with your solo against the backing track!
Deadline: June 27th
Let's make an industrious jam!
Cosmin

Yeah so that backing track is ridiculous! So much of me wants to say in but I'm not sure I have the time!

Killer backing Cosmin! This will be amazing!

Or what ? We have to wear pink leather pants all day ???
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 10 2013, 06:36 PM
That wouldn't be much of a punishment since you already wear them everyday!
Or else...uhm...Cosmin has to start a One Direction collab next month

Sir one word , disappointing. I waited 1.10m for it and you failed to play your famous riff!

Ville! You are most welcome mate!

Leave it to Guitarrero to commandeer a thread...
Posted by: Nimrandir Jun 11 2013, 03:38 PM
I'm in!
Hmm 140bpm 16th triplets is about 10-15bpm above my comfort zone but I still think you can expect some machine gun action in this one .
By the way Cosmin, is it ok if I harmonize some parts of the solo with synth?
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 11 2013, 07:01 PM
Exactly! With a German in command, there is nothing that could possibly go wrong...

My friend, anything goes!
Just go wild, eh?

Just go wild, eh? Wild you say? Will do
Will have to learn a couple of new fresh tapping ideas

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 13 2013, 07:16 AM

Here you go sir! My take is finally done. Love the Egyptian sound of it, trying to add some different flair to this take!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 22 2013, 07:22 AM
'Welcome to the land of the pyramids!' Great vibe man! Thank you very much!
5 days left mates!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 26 2013, 10:02 AM
Gentlemen! The entries will be over tomorrow Please hurry up and submit your takes so we can make this Industrial jam come to life - a jar of cog and bolts jam, maybe?
Posted by: Gitarrero Jun 26 2013, 06:04 PM
Come on guys!
Listen to some german industrial metal and submit your takes!
The german guy already uploaded his take, so better be quick!

made it!!!!! and with about 1.5 ( my side of the world ) hours left on the clock
Im not very experienced with this style tbh so I hope its close..... I kinda used everyone's takes as a guide
https://soundcloud.com/bleez666/industrial-collab
Cosmin, in an attempt to make my solo a bit more interesting I recorded 2 takes with different amps and panned them left / right. Ive attached both guitars, I thought it might be better incase you just want the one guitar part or whatever.

Hey man! Thanks for the take - I think it's very nice and I can most surely work with it!
Hey mate!! I think that stylistically speaking you are more than close, you are authentic
At least in my vision!Thank you!!

Thank you all for joining forces with me!

Sorry for being late . Hope I still made it.
I've recorded this in two halves and as you can probably hear I was completely exhausted when recording the second one. Honestly I need a couple more days of practice with some runs, especially the last one. I also need an air conditioner, as hands sticking to the guitar after 15 minutes of playing is not very convenient .
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 29 2013, 01:00 PM
Wow! Thank you for the nice takes gentlemen! Of course everyone made it and now the entries are officially over!
Now tomorrow we will have a mixxxx, so stay tuned

No problem man
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jul 1 2013, 10:21 AM
Hey guys! Here's the final mix!!
Thanks and congrats to everyone for such a great job It turned out to have a slightly obvious desert flavor to it, so I changed the title a little bit
Now, in order of appearance:
- Mad - you get two spotlights, because of the great idea of coming up with an intro part - nice rhythmic arrangement man! I noticed that the desert heat got you too and you flavored everything in that direction so I used a bit of the lead section as well - watch out for the timing mate, there were some spots in which you were slightly off beat
- Me - since everyone went for that Egyptian flavor I thought I could do it too, so I mixed my licks with Nimrandir's and Spase Moonkey's for a homogeneous Pyramid, Crocs, Cats and Pharaos and Mummies melange - all against the industrial feel
- Nimrandir - dude, seriously, you got nice chops and articulation - good job!!
- SpaseMoonkey - very authentic Egyptian feel and flavor!
- WeePee - I chose your take to complete the first half of the track as it felt like a good transition towards the genuinely industrial track provided by Bleez. You had some moments in which you were kind of static, in the whole take, so try a little bit more dynamic in general, in order to keep the listener busy
- Bleez - mate, I am really proud of ya - you did a very good and authentically industrial metal recording - takes my mind to Nine Inch Nails or Powerman 5000! Very good! And that vibrato was excellent!
- Guitarrero - the man that always finishes off everything I think that your tremolo picking part was best suited to end the collab, so presto, as usual, you get the honor of ending the whole deal
Alright gentlemen! I am thinking of starting an Acoustic Collab this Friday! What do you guys think - would you like that??
Cosmin
Posted by: Gitarrero Jul 1 2013, 12:26 PM
Thanks for the feedback and the mix, Cosmin! Great collab as usual!
As for the acoustic collab, it might happen that I grab a mic and sing when I hear acoustic guitars
Just give the collab a better name, like "Taylor Swift collab" and I'm in!
Posted by: bleez Jul 1 2013, 12:52 PM
thanks for the comments, cosmin. Much appreciated dude
some real face melting takes 
great job on the mix as well, sounds amazing overall.
Posted by: WeePee Jul 1 2013, 03:00 PM
Not at all...this was quite hard collab for me, I just didn't manage to do a good take that would make me satisfied. Maybe the feelings of my current life situation affected (nothing serious, don't worry
) or something else. I don't know.But next one is going to be better. Thank You & Cheers
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 1 2013, 04:12 PM
Great job guys!!!!
I'd be up for an Acoustic one Cosmin, I could still record acoustically even if I haven't quite finished fixing the PC!!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jul 2 2013, 07:46 AM
Guitarrero - man, who is this Swift guy? I heard the name several times but, I never had the curiosity to hear what he sings.
Ville - life related stuff usually affects our artistic endeavors, hope that whatever it may be, it'll pass
Bleez - dude, yours was great, simply because it matched the context beautifully
Neil - alright man, will think about other ideas as well, because I don't know how many of you guys have acoustics and we will see on Friday
Posted by: Gitarrero Jul 2 2013, 09:18 AM
This is the Swift guy...and yes, I covered this song as well, but didn't upload the video yet.
Posted by: mad Jul 2 2013, 07:37 PM
Wow! Thanks
Regarding the timing - you're right, there are some spots, but I somehow got the feeling that my part starts kinda offbeat in your mix (compared to my original recording) - but maybe it's just me and my tired ears
Alright gentlemen! I am thinking of starting an Acoustic Collab this Friday! What do you guys think - would you like that??
Cosmin
I'd be in for that, too!
Posted by: DeGroot Jul 2 2013, 11:36 PM
It is rare to hear such excellent solos in industrial music... very cool sounding collab.
I would be interested in a acoustic collab too.

Hey mad - I tried to pull it left or right but it somehow did not want to settle down, so I tried to make the best of that entrance - now that I listened to it again, with fresh ears, it seems a bit off indeed..
Oh. it's a good looking chick
Well, everyone would be in a collab with her, so let's invite her, shall we? very cool sounding collab.I would be interested in a acoustic collab too.
Thanks DG, well then, an acoustic collab it'll be
Posted by: Gitarrero Jul 3 2013, 08:33 AM
Well, everyone would be in a collab with her, so let's invite her, shall we?Now you know why I like her
And of course I'm in for the Taylor Swift collab!
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jul 5 2013, 09:11 AM
Uh oh, I will have to think about the name, don't want Slav to attack us with his true metal axe
