Metropolis (1927) Soundtrack

But just so you all know it, this thing is still happening!

I basically finished mine a week ago, but I'm gonna spend this weekend tweaking it slightly. It'll be interesting to see how this all goes.

My track is pretty much finished. It is sitting on my Machinedrum/Monomachine waiting to be recorded. Mine has live playing, but not that much. So I basically just need to press play into a recording device. The only deal is my soundcard is borked. So I have to find a way to record it. My mixer has a USB, but I am not sure if that will be good quality. And my usual guy is rebuilding his studio. I should really just buy a new soundcard. But I have spent the past month agonizing over a new stereo.

I had real trouble with the first minute or so. I still might change it based on what the person before me does. I ended up sort of throwing a whole bunch of ideas I had together into a track, so it sounds a little broken up, but I think for the better since I have a relatively long scene and I didn't want to just keep repeating the same idears for six minutes.

Who is Messaien? Is that Pcock?

yeah

lol they just discovered all those missing scenes:

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!

"Original Metropolis Found

4 July 2008 10:35 AM, PDT

Less than two weeks after New York-based Kino International had announced that it had completed a frame-by-frame restoration of Fritz Lang's 1927 classic Metropolis and would release it in 2009, a long-lost and badly scratched original cut of the movie has turned up in Argentina, where it was shown to reporters for the first time on Thursday. Paula Felix-Didier, director of the Museo de Cine in Buenos Aires, told the reporters that the three-and-a-half-hour print is the only known copy of Lang's complete film. The film that has been shown in theaters since that time and which in recent years has become available on home video is roughly half that length. Kino said Thursday that it may include the newly discovered footage in its 2009 release."

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

checking in! ............ saying hello to sequence 9 + 11

If anyone has not got a PM from me, please PM me.

PS: I didn't PM anyone who has already submitted a track.

If anyone is interested in doing a scene, I might have one scene open. Someone already pm'ed me but I accidentally deleted it and I can't remember his name so if you PM me again I will assign you one. Or, if someone who has a scene assigned with someone else and wishes to switch, PM me.

I just listened to MRX's contribution... You're going to have to wear protective suits when you hear it. It's that cool.

multiple protective suits? cool. it took me a long time to synthesize all those sounds and mix them properly thanks

My mixer is acting very gay-homo-fag. It recorded half of it clean, and then the second half really distorted. I tried again, except the whole thing is distorted now. I will try again later, and use different cables. Otherwise, I will have to figure something else out. My track is completely finished on my hardware, although I think the timing is still a little off on the end from my scene, but that's no big deal. I can fix that.

Hahaha!

Man, if anyones done a track even as half as awesome as that then I'll piss my pants.

just sent my bit to rook.....

I think I may have to start on the soundtrack without my partner. Sooo... gimme a week or so.

September is fast approaching you boobs.

Every song I have received so far is very good btw. Anybody who isn't finished yet should get on it, so that we can get this finished and hear all the musics.

maybe you should pm them...

i'm still in the works with it. sorry for not being ready yet. got a new journalist job, which is painfully consuming time.

i'm gonna bang up some posters/covers/images for the finished project to use if people like them or use as inspiration...super excited!

how many tracks so you still need to complete the compilation Rook, are we nearly there ?

No. Only a third have been submitted, but most assure me that they will have a track done soon. I am going to send out another mass PM in a couple of days, when I have more time. Maybe this weekend. Or before the weekend, since I am getting a hurricane. yahoo.

Seriously though, every track so far is really good. This could really be something cool if we could get it finished.

ok i've submitted a kickin' trackk! :)
