Make a Song with Helmut. (Start at page 3 or so.)

[BSJ]

Oh, no, no, no... no meeting of demands. Too early for that. No bargaining power. No hand.

[unomusette]

I can do this. As long as my social calendar allows.

For instance, on Tuesday I could squeeze you in between tea with the Queen and putting out the bins.

Edit: *pokes BSJ* Oi! I thought you were on my side! Or are you holding out for a bigger fee?

OK, so if we give you insurance, will you clap your fingers for us?

The forum can't afford that we only have £1.00 I just found down the back of the sofa, thats got to pay for the Xmas party drinks, Helmut have you got auto tune for our singing

[BSJ]

When it comes to money, I hold my own counsel.

But, know this,I would never screw you over, Uno! Shrugs.

I can donate the coins I found in a certain belly button - I'll try to get the belly dust washed off.

[unomusette]

I feel ill just thinking about that. I'll do it for free, keep your coins.

Besides, good buddy - I will need you to help make-up picket signs and snacks.

[unomusette]

Snacks? Let me guess, I'd best go shopping for peanut butter and bacon?
They do say champagne is very good for the voice

[BSJ]

Yes, in this case cheap wine is not a good go to, to keep us warm. We might forget the reason and wander away, joining the other bums down the street.

[unomusette]

Exactly, if someone else is paying we want the best. Cos we're worth it.

[BSJ]

Oh, golly, I don't think there are enough sofa banks out there. Maybe a few classes in the art of Shower Shopping will help?

Sign up board under H W's sofa.

Shower shopping? Need deposits before I explain the curriculum.

Yes, I've got. I just hope it doesn't get stuck, explode or something.

[Helmut83]

OK, guys, here goes one simple, cloying song (the chords and a few solos) I've just finished recording. It's in D major and in the end it switches to E major.



Those solos can (and ideally should) be deleted and replaced by some better ones. They are there for the moment just for orientation. If you need the file without those solos (because they distract you or whatever), just ask me for it.

The song would need:

- Melody
- Lyrics
- Singing
- Percussion
- Intrumental solos/arrangements
- Etc...

Unomusette, we can make the salary arrangements later on. For the time being, just know that the payment will be fair.

[Helmut83]

Instructions to contribute something:

1) Plug in a microphone and headphones
2) Play the video, hear it through your headphones (otherwise, if it goes by air it gets mixed up with what you are playing), put the recording program on "rec" and record whatever you are going to play.
3) Once you finish, send me the .wav or .mp3 file of what you recorded.

[Horacewimp]

Sound good on first play Helmut, I will have to play it a few times to get the tune into my memory.

We are a Apple Mac household and so have GarageBand on the computer, I not too familiar with it but I'm sure I could have a go and try to electronically add some elements to the song, this would be the best way for me as a household we are not musically talented and own no actual instruments. Have you come across GarageBand Helmut? Perhaps you could send me a MP3 of the song, I think I can then drop that into the program.

I'm a bit busy this week decorating the bathroom, Mrs Wimp told me that if Jeff tours then Chereene will need some accommodation near Birmingham, I was then straight onto tiding up the room, I'll offer her a cheap rate Once it's done I will have more time to have a play with the song.
