I've been using a different music hosting site recently, called SoundCloud. It's easy to use and free! (though you can pay money for more advanced features) Here's my page: http://soundcloud.com/hieronymous-seven I've got a few Alembic things up, including my fuzzed-out Stanley Clarke (King Cat Jam), my Series I doubleneck (triple doubleneck), and my "Telembic" (Activator-equipped Telecaster Bass) (Ostronato and 8B4X4). Some of these are new, some you've heard before. Anyone else using SoundCloud? If so, we can start an Alembic group! | ||

Amazing Pierre-Yves! Given the cheap computer speakers I was listening on at work I really can't say much about the sound, but the musicianship was wonderful. | ||

WOW If your bass sounds that good on small laptop speakers it must sound incredible to hear live. Si vos bruits de perche que bon sur de petits haut-parleurs d'ordinateur portable qu'il doit retentir incroyable pour entendre par votre système bas. translation from apple mac Jazzyvee (Message edited by jazzyvee on July 30, 2011) | ||

I'm there also! Following Harry, Slawie, Pierre and HB3 Pauldo The Sorcerer is completely made up, on the fly by Sun Machine. The other songs are from other fun bands that I have been in. How can I re-arrange the track listing? | ||

Another neat feature is that you can add timed comments to songs - other people's or your own. Just click on the blue bar at the bottom of the player for that song and you can add a comment! | ||

Just posted something. Please keep in mind that I am new to bass playing. I had a great time putting this together with my MK5 and my daughter's JamMan looper. I got the idea this past weekend watching our Enlgish Bulldog, Ruby eating peanut butter while I was practicing arpeggios. I am amazed at what can be done on this bass. http://soundcloud.com/billostech/peanut-butter | ||

Great sound Pierre-Yves and Harry. I have been listening to your tracks all this morning. A true inspiration to a newbe like myslef. Slawie, I think it was your thread that motivated me to get the JamMan Stereo ... +1 on your comments regarding Sonicus and Kimberly. | ||

Bill, what happened to Peanut Butter?!! I enjoyed it! Looking forward to something new... Pierre-Yves - Lopsy Lu sounds great! I was just thinking of this song today - a volunteer in my office is name "Lou" although she is a woman (this spelling is usually for men's names) - got me thinking about the song and then you posted it! Waiting for it to appear in the Alembic Players group... | ||

Pierre-Yves - sounds amazing (as usual)!!! Care to enlighten us regarding the name change? I put up another track in the Alembic Players group too (my Stanley Clarke played with a pick through F-2B & SF-2). I hope other people contribute too! This could turn into a nice Library of Alembic Sounds! | ||
| pierreyves
Senior Member Username: pierreyves Post Number: 940 Registered: 11-2006 |
the name change, its a mistake and I dont know how to resolve it. I have 2 name I think: pierre-yves v., blackwood Bass... batracien too ? It the same Fine, fine your tune... its grooving ! Maybe we could write to Mica, Susan etc, and they put this Alembic players group in their web site as sound example... AND, any work deserves payment, they could give us a large percentage on future orders! Mica ?? Susan ?? | ||

Thanks Harry. I posted a new version of Peanut Butter. http://soundcloud.com/billostech/peanut-butter2 I am trying to figure out how to record a drum track and loop over it, instead of playing over the Jamnan's rythym track which is not recorded. | ||

Intermediate Member Username: billostech Post Number: 172 Registered: 1-2011 |
Nicely done Harry. I enjoyed all of your tracks. I got an idea. Let's create a tune as a group. After one track is laid, another member can lay down another. I don't know how this can be managed, but it seems it can lead to an awesome experience. | ||
| hieronymous
Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 953 Registered: 1-2005 |
Bill - I like that idea! I took part in something similar when I used to be on TalkBass.com more - they called it the "spittoon" - it was fun but kind of a pain to pull off. Maybe it's time to try it again! One way to do it is to build a complete track from the bottom up - another way is the "spittoon" approach - each person records 4-8 bars - you just keep adding to it, the parts can be related or completely unrelated. Activity on the Alembic soundcloud group has slowed down - in the meantime, I've posted a new track in my own account, not Alembic but check it out anyway! | ||

Hey everybody, we haven't had much activity over at the Alembic players soundcloud group, so I added my track King Cat Jam! Unfortunately, soundcloud has been having server issues the past couple of days, so if you have trouble loading the pages, wait a while and try again! | ||

Hi Hiero 7 how are you ? I'm waiting for my fixing troubleshooting to get something else... but we are not alone on the club with Alembic potential sounds..no? I have submit a "fool" idea but no answer from Alembic... maybe our sounds are not so appreciate by the "mothership" ? I think its a good idea do do this with amateur only.... | ||

| hieronymous
Senior Member Username: hieronymous Post Number: 962 Registered: 1-2005 |
Pierre-Yves - I'm not sure what your "fool idea" was, but I'm sure it was a good one - just maybe not something Alembic would want to do officially. Plus, they have the best possible representative for Alembic, even if he isn't an official "endorsee" - Stanley Clarke! Bill - thanks for the comment on King Cat Jam - I was thinking that maybe it wasn't good to post in the Alembic Players group because you can't really hear the bass under the effects, but they I realized that it was good to post to show what can be done with an Alembic and effects. We haven't done the group track yet either - hopefully we can get that going at some point! Personally, I think it would be best to have each person record 4-8 bars, then the next person can tag on something, it can be related or completely unrelated! | ||
