Good evening/morning/afternoon/night everyone,

As some of you may know, I have been planning something special the past few weeks. As a direct reflection of the amazing people that we have on the forum, I have decided to compile, master, mix and produce a compilation of music from artists on our own HevyDevy Forums. I am doing this free of charge and totally because I want to. Haha!

The name of the project is 'The HevyDevyAllStars'. Cheesy maybe...but cheese is neat.

This is a project I had been meaning to do for some time and only recently I have put it in gear. I came up with this idea after I realised how much of the music I have downloaded from people here that I actually listen to. I was struck by how much of it is of such a high quality. After playing with a WinAmp playlist of my favourite songs, I figured it could be very interesting to actually put my favourite songs together properly in the form of a CD (or a CDR anyway heh). I intend to have a 'releaseable' product (hopefully also with some fun artwork) that I can share either online or offline.

I began this project by emailing my favourite HevyDevy Forums Artists™©® and asking for permission to use their music. Every one who got back to me was overwhelmingly enthusiastic and so this leads me now to where I am now.

The 'core' artists already set to appear on this disc are:

Danra
TeamJonny
Terraformer
Armheadmcgee
Olive? (and his band Atomic Ants)
Greg Reason
Earworm
Blazingmonga (what a freak!)
Mo (and his band Way Of The Extreme)
Strapping Young Lad (possibly with his band Indignation)

However, I still have room for a track or two. If there is anybody else out there who has something really cool to contribute, then please contact me. If not, then that is fine and I will go ahead with what I have here. However...the standard is very high and I think if I am to be honest then I should say that I will be using some level of restraint in adding more people. Well...kinda. I dont know, I will be happy to hear from anybody interested.

The included artists will hopefully be supplying me with high quality versions of their songs for me to use.

Once the project is complete I will make it available to everybody here. I will be happy to post copies of it out to anybody who wants one. Ultimately this is all just a bit of fun, sort of a tribute to the people here. If I can make somebody laugh when they hear it then, then that would be great. If you can actually enjoy the finished project on a musical level then that would be incredible. I think that the artists involved deserve that.

What do you all think of this then?

Anybody interested in getting a copy when it is complete?

Cheers!

-David

Heh, although I added my name to the list of 'artists'...my contribution will be mainly in putting all this together.

However, I do have one 'song' finished and I will also be adding an intro track and some sound effects and other goodies. My musical input will be more 'freakish' and 'funny' than 'artistic'.

Mango-tastic!

I can send you a couple of tracks off of my ambient demo I made a couple of months ago? Go have a listen...
How do you want the "songs"?

Actually, I made a cover of "Storm", but I am actually not satisfied with the result, but as soon as I make up for some things in the recording and the mix, I'll let you guys know! :)

Thanks for the replies everyone, I am glad that it is not only me interested in all this! Though that probably wouldnt stop me heh.

If anybody wants to send me a song then you can email me an MP3 at Blazingmonga@hevydevyforums.com which should work. If not, email me and we can sort something out.

Hevymink, I would love to hear your stuff!

I am not sure exactly how much disc space is left (it has to be less than 80 minutes in total) but I think I have room for at least 2 more songs. We can sort that out later anyway.

Also, the user Torniojaws has agreed to let me use one of his (awesome) songs!

Cool cool good great.

Dev covers are cool...but the emphasis for this CD is on original music. Maybe if this turns out ok I will do a sequel dedicated to covers.

Well good for me, I completely missed the point. My band could contribute a track, if theres any space left for rock and roll.
