[Music+Art] Awesome Atelier Album Project DISCUSSION THREAD

[Infy♫]

Greetings, Sercan here.

Me and some others in Alice's Art Atelier had the idea of making a collaboration CD and selling it at Comiket for charity.
Since there are currently only 3 musicians in this project, we need some help.

please note that it's not neccesary to make NEW stuff for this project. You may also submit your older works if you think they are decent enough.

What we need:
Musicians,
CD cover and booklet artists,
People willing to produce the CDs and Sell at a booth,
People to judge the content.

Anyone willing to help, post here, or drop by the IRC at
 #atelier-magna on irc.ppirc.net.
Any ideas on this subject are highly welcome!

[Gappy]

This project has my full support. Artists, Musicians, let's get in on this and get our names out in comiket!

You know, I wanna help too. I'm only good at drawing, though, and I know a lot about designing .If I can help with anything, just let me know.
Also, I was thinking... If we are going to make remixes, it would be good to pick  one song from each game we choose and then we'd judge it alltogether.

Thats awesome Amiga. As far as the artists are concerned, we will need an album cover, and an art booklet. Would be a neat excuse for a contest. The winners piece can be the cover, and if ya lose, your art will still go in the booklet.

That sounds interesting, but I dont quite understand. Can ya elaborate a bit?

I like that idea. Nice excuse for a contest.

I think it would be best if we didn't have multiple arranges for the same song in this album. One Septette for a Dead Princess, one Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye, etc. Maybe two if we can't choose one. Could be another contest idea.

One Septette for a Dead Princess, one Satori Maiden ~ 3rd Eye

You had to mention the two songs I love, right?

That sounds interesting, but I dont quite understand. Can ya elaborate a bit?

I meant, let's not put the whole EoSD soundtrack with PCB (or anything else, thos two are just examples) remixed together. Let's pick the ones we most like and then we remix them. And after that, as they are the ones that the majority wants, we'd be able to judge them better.
And another thing. We need a theme (source of inspiration, whatever) if we want to make this thing right (Like, I once saw a CD of remixes were the tittles of the song had a baseball theme...-Okay, I don't know how to explain things xD) Well, that's just my opinion...

[Unassuming Squid]

Seems to me like the "theme" is the work of the Atelier people. I dunno, I don't think a theme is necessary.

Well, I dunno. It is just one of the first things I think when I'm going to do something. it was just an advice (should've clarified that, I know)

Edit: I had the best idea I've had in weeks, and when you hear it, you'll know how pathetic I am xD: There is a thread called "touhou musicians" and, well, almost everyone agreed with the instruments, so, I was thinking if we can get guided by it, or I dunno...

[HakureiSM]

I wanna help with the art :3
I very much want to :3
Like, seriously :3

[Patorikku]

I'd be glad to help, but at best, I can remix themes with MIDI-based sounds, and the best MIDI-based sounds I have are the default MIDI-based sounds that Windows Vista comes with. And even then, I'd much rather have sheet music on the piece before I even try at it.

If I had a good recording device, I'd record a piano or acoustic guitar piece. Sadly, the best I have is a camera, which lacks in the audio department, but is beautiful for video.

Unless there's some sort of visual art I could do for the CD, I can't say I can get any high-quality involvement. Sorry. :<

[Lloyd Dunamis]

Mostly in the same shoes as Patorikku for the MIDI, and I haven't started remixing long Touhou melodies yet?

? but like I had expressed before, I'd be oh-so-veeeerry glad to participate!! For Music, that is >////////////////////<


Besides the remixes we musicians we'll do individually, I've thought for some time about making one remix we musicians could collab on to? It's a little more involved, but I think it'd be fun, too >w<

[Mushyrulez]

I'd like ta help but have like, no experience with remixing, just composing. :/

[Infy♫]

i'd like to notify that for those who have no time to make new stuff for this project they can always put their existing songs on it!
and of course, if you got good recording equipment, you can make acoustic arranges too.

[Formless God]

So all the art we need is cover art ? I'd like to give a try (my coloring is like shit though :/)

Also this

Well no, im sure we can fit plenty into the booklet. Maybe turn it into a full blown book. Draw away~

[HakureiSM]

What, we're supposed to have started already? :ohdear:

[Unassuming Squid]

You're supposed to start three weeks ago.

But seriously, you can just start doing whatever. That's what the musicians are doing, anyway.

[HakureiSM]

Ffff brb doodling

[Infy♫]

i think we got enough artists by now, but we still need musicians.

[flamezero16]

Never enough artists~

[Moerin]

Never enough artists~

Well said!  To be honest, I think that anyone who wants in on this should be allowed in.  The only upper limit to artists/musicians should be the amount of people who want to actually take part.  Of course, that's only my view on the subject, but...

'Course, not saying I want in, ahah~  My stuff's not quite good enough to be included, but I'm sure there's plenty more people out there who'd want in.  Probably, anyways. >.>
