Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
I still have every intention of being in.
I've done a complete song, except for lyrics and vocals. D'oh!

Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
Nah, I'm working on it now.
Hey, I'm wondering whether any of the judges feel like chiming in on this - for "shouting," do words need to be intelligible?

Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
Song submitted! It'll shout your head off.
Nur Ein!!!!!
(p.s. also I misread the title as Break The Ice, not Breaking, hopefully that can be overlooked by the generous, fair and handsome jusdges.

Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
I've started and scrapped two song attempts so far. Hopefully the 3rd time is the charm because I'm running out of time! ... Indeed, I have even less time than I thought - I didn't realize it was due tonight at midnight - thought it was tomorrow morning... !!

Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
the idiot kings are in and submitted. shouting outright wasn't appropriate for my song, so i instead took a recording of a crazy woman screaming in the alley behind my work and turned it into a sampler instrument.

Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
I get shouty in mine, but referring to it in the song made it sound tacky...so you're getting singy-shouts, screamies, and ... a grunt like thing... it's round zero so I took liberties, I guess. Hope it's good enough.
yeah. This all sounds really attractive, doesn't it?!?

Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
Sent. Like the words, like the shouty choruses. As for the rest, well, I hope the entrants are <25 Off to post in the Lyrics section, as every good l'il Nur Einer should do...
Thanks to my compadres from Jacktown Road (who said, and I quote, "Don't credit me on this recording") for putting up with my guerilla (sp? Damn.) recording "technique". One take & let's get to the next part, heh. We all crowded around the mike for the choruses, and them's my favorite parts of the song.
The rest of it, I'm responsible for. They're blameless for my own twitchy insanity. heh.

Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
My streak at Nur Ein will continue as I have no lyrics, no music, and there's... 2 1/2 hours left to deadline.

Oh, was I supposed to submit a song?
If I had a dollar for every one of my songs j$ has called a 90s pastiche, I'd have $1 for every song I've written.

Re: Nur Ein VII: Round Zero
Still listening to french clown/carnivale music and really digging the Nur Ein lyrics I'm seeing. Did I, for once, achieve the zag when everyone else zigged? Dare to fucking dream, heh. Still hoping the entries are <25 though.
