let's make an album

just pick your favorite chord and drone/smash the hell out of it. and record it. on whatever instrument. maybe do it with a metronome. then put a link to it here and we can start to compile an album where each song is dedicated to a chord. anyone down? this could be a great collaborative effort, even if you have a really crappy microphone it can all be remixed and layered and what not.

I might do this. I am a really crappy electric guitar that can really only make noise. If anything comes at all, I may have this by Saturday. Do you want just droned chords, or do you want us just an overall drone-y track?

I'm sure I'll get bored over spring break next month, so I might do this. Would sludgy Jesu type stuff be alright?

any sort of structure is fine, as long as you limit yourself to playing the notes of whatever one chord you choose.

Do you want us to put the chord we picked here?

If so, I don't know the exact name of the chord, but I know it is some sort of Em. It is basically all open strings with fingers on A string 2nd fret and D string 4th fret.

I would really love to do this but:

Each person makes their own song?

If so, how many instruments can we use?

Can I rap over these tunes?
