Create a DTF epic!
« on: February 01, 2011, 10:57:59 AM »
I've had much fun when trying this idea out on other forums, so let's see if it works here. Hopefully this will get creative juices flowing. The idea is to create an imaginary (no need to actually post a video or anything like that) epic song/piece of music, one idea at a time. You could either contribute a line or a verse of lyrics, or an instrumental passage (eg. a guitar solo or something). Let's see how far this goes.

Tuvan Throat Singers sing Tri-tone chords in ascending minor thirds while tympani and harp trade fours over modulating meters from 5/8 into 3/4 using triplets in the former meter to form the basis of quintuplets in the latter meter.

The entire thing starts over as a progressive band comes out of nowhere and plays everything note for note in a way that is pointlessly similar to the original.

Conway Twitty's "I See The Want To In Your Eyes", is played faintly in the right channel with "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man", in the left underneath the clinks.

Part IV : I <3 Starbucks

JMX's 10 minutes mologue about his dream to buy the Starbucks franchise.
Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.
