Re: Compilation 2011
 

I'm in!

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I'll do my best to have a track for it, but between work and a pregnant wife, time is tight so we'll see.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

We will try our best to arrange some tracks that are in progress right now!:)

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Great! Who else?

Themes? I have a couple of suggestions, keeping with the UW lyrical inspiration:

"I'm Invisible"

"Warm Machine"

"Glass Eye On You, Electric Eye On You"

"Does Not Wait To Catch Its Reflection"


etc, etc.... suggestions and contributors?!

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I like "Glass Eye On You, Electric Eye On You", but the title is long, maybe?

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Bumparoo...

5 or 6 contributors...we need more! The deadlines usually move and the participants drop out and in, but let's try to formalize it soon...

Dirty Producers, please lend your talents!

These have always been a lot of fun to contribute to and hear the eclectic finished products.

Would a theme or title help entice or inspire people?

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Im back in again if that's cool?

I also agree that "Glass Eye On You, Electric Eye On You" is a good title for this.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

If it's too long, then maybe just "Electric Eye on You"?

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I suppose I could use this as motivation to put the finishing touch on a track. I'm in.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I like the title, though I agree that it is a tad too long. TheBang makes a good suggestion I think.

I can contribute one or two or three tracks. Whatever floats your boat. :D

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Ok, let's do this!

Hoping there's some energy behind this years' comp. We have fewer dedicated collaborators so far, but these things always ebb and flow. If you want to submit two tracks, that'd be fine. Or, still time to jump in. No limits to time/tracks in this digital age.

How about November 18th (that's a Friday) as the first deadline.

Lacking other suggestions, this year we'll call the compilation "Electric Eye On You".
Maybe that will inspire?

Send me a PM when your track is done, and we'll arrange links/downloads, etc.

Happy producing! Anyone else that wants in, you're very welcome.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Bump-er-er-er...

Halfway to the deadline.

How's it going, dirty producers?

Anyone else interested in joining in?

Re: Compilation 2011
 

We are working hard to get the tracks ready in decent quality...
Going further in the music production and going back, trying to catch inspiration. Working on the sounds, what will be in these tracks... Listening to it... Hearing advice how to go further... Discussing... When you are in group you must always have compromise... A lot more discussing... Improving... Mixing... We are still in the process... :)

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I'll try for the November 18 deadline, but can't make any promises. With a pregnant wife, working on the house to prepare for the new little guy's arrival, heavy work and whatever semblence of a social life I can still maintain, there's not a lot of time left for music. I'll see what I can do though.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

^^ You gotta sort out your priorities.

;) j/k

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I've got two tracks available. Where do I send them to?

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Camiel and other producers,

Please send me a PM when you have finished your track(s), with links to where it can be downloaded (or a download site), and any brief bio you want to share. i will compile the tracks and work on the artwork.

As for hosting the finished product, can we get it on dirtyradio again this year? Or anyone else want to make a page? The alternative is that i post this year's compilation to my netlabel's Archive.org page, which will allow free downloads, but somewhat reduces audio quality (hey, you get what you pay for!).

Hope folks are busy in the creative process! I have a track ready, Camiel has two...and you?


thx,
Holden

Re: Compilation 2011
 

For hosting full quality downloads, we can do that here on borndirty.org. Also, I'm sure Mike will be happy to put it in the dirtyradio rotation.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I know, right? :D

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Hye, guess what? The "deadline" is upon us. I have received several, but by no means enough tracks for a full fledged compilation. Hopefully, life is just getting in the way, as it does. But if you are on the fence about submitting or are wrapping up your production(s), please do so as soon as possible, so we can move on with this project.
Or maybe this is the end of the line of dirty discs?

-holden

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Still working on mine, I'm afraid - university work getting in the way of music making.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I am guilty.
Made a move. Just put the studio back together last week. Now I am wrapping up a project at the day job and preparing to travel for the Thanksgiving Holiday. I'll be at least two weeks behind the deadline.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I've sent you a PM.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

As I mentioned earlier, I can get something done for it, just not by a November 18 deadline (obviously as it's the 21st and I haven't submitted a track yet).

For me, these comps are always just about doing something fun - having a no-stress creative outlet. I'd hate to see the comp tradition die just because of strict deadlines. That isn't fun or stress-free at all. ;)

Re: Compilation 2011
 

No worries about the passing of deadlines. We always disregard the first!
Just would like to have this one out before the end of the year, to keep the streak alive, and we still have over a month of 2011.


Could be way off here, but at least from my point of view, there hasn't been the same enthusiasm as past years. Typically, we have a lot of folks who say "yes, i'm in." Some drop out, no problem. A few late additions help fill the gaps. But as of now, i have contributions from 3 artists, including myself.
Fine tracks, sure, but not necessarily a representation of the many talented producers that lurk around born dirty if we have a compilation with 2 or 3 tracks from 3 or 4 artists.

I'm not looking just for quantity...quality is still key, and it's here. But we also could use some more variety or eclecticism.

Hopefully we can get a few more people to finish up in early to mid December?

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Im a culprit here too!
Life has just got a bit busy for mr these last few weeks but im still game for getting a track or 2 finished asap though. :)

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Ok, just a progress check... right now, I've got the following tracks slotted in the compilation:

Liquid Green: "Lausanne"
Liquid Green: "Islandica"
TFHats: "I Am the Gentle Autumn Rain"
TFHats: "Phosphorstadt"
Mental Health Consumer: "You're Not Going Anywhere"
Mental Health Consumer: "Late Afternoon, Latest November"


As you can see, we can use some additional artists and tracks. I realize with the holidays, time's not getting any less busy, but we would still like to have this out before the end of the year, so if you have any track(s) in the works, please send me a PM.

Many thanks!
Holden

Re: Compilation 2011
 

another week, another bump!

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Ok, another week without any contact.

Folks, please let me know if you're at all interested in contributing to a compilation. It need not be released this year (in fact, that seems very unlikely given the low level of interest and submissions), but if you're sitting on some almost-complete tracks, please let us know if you'd like to contribute.

Looking through the archives, since 2002, there have been dirty compilations/remixes every year. During and before that, there was a string of UW remixes/mash-ups on this site. I'd like to keep the string alive. But as said, we're just not getting the feedback this year. Should we scratch the tracks? Several producers have been very generous and have spent a lot of time working on tracks and artwork to contribute. We could release what we have, but i know there are many more producers amongst the ranks...

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I have a stack of university deadlines approaching, and can't devote much time to music-making right now... in early January I'll have lots of time to polish off things though.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Holden,

Can't we just release it in January? I mean, the productions are all from 2011, so I don't see any harm in that.

Maybe this will trigger some of you: if you deliver some techno / electro tunes I will send them to Dave Clarke. How is that for exposure? We only need to make a soundcloud account where we can upload the 'album' or I can use my own.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I am using a week's worth of vacation days to sit in my studio from January 2-6 and crank out some tunes for just this purpose. I need to get reacquainted with my studio. It's been a busy, non-musical, year.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

I'll have time to get something wrapped up and submitted early in the new year, but until then, I'm just way too slammed with other stuff I need to do. I'm also waiting to get vocals back on the specific track I'd like to submit from my friend Julie. Once I have them, I can forge ahead pretty quickly as I know exactly what I want to do with the track to finish it up.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Good luck indeed!

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Happy 2012, Dirties!


Anyone have some tracks they've completed over the holidays?

I will become very busy in the next few weeks, so i would like to compile and complete last year's comp. within the month.

cheers,
Holden

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Anything? This is making me very depressed.

Re: Compilation 2011
 

Don't let it make you depressed. You put in a lot of work for this each year, but despite your best efforts to pull this together, it looks like there are too many contributors who are just not able to commit due to other stuff.

It is an excellent project, but perhaps just accept that the 2011 compilation is over... you could do a mini EP with the tracks already submitted, consider it the 2012 EP. And then look forward to the next one, which could start momentum in July / August and it could be finished in time for the start of 2013.
