I am getting really excited about this, can't wait to listen to the ideas posted. If someone is already connected with other Duran forums please feel free to use the original post as an advertisement. Also why not facebook if you use it? We want fans worldwide of every language, every background professional, hobbyist or even new dreamer contributing their talents to make the most. This has the very real potential to produce something incredible, maybe even a new band with a Duran Duran sound. I commend everyone that has already responded. Its going to get out of control and become the biggest thing on the forums eventually. I have a good feeling about this.

I'm sure I'll get jumped on for this, but almost every track here sounds instantly more interesting to me than any of the five songs from Paper Gods that have been released so far. Fantastic work!

I have the original stems and garage band files if needed. Note, none contain sampled loops. These are all individual instruments making the the sounds and melodies and rhythms you hear. Want to complete a 9 track album, in classic Duran fashion. I have written more that 30 lyrics, include ones for each of those in the teaser set. but it's just been a slow process putting all together as I'm neither a musician nor audio producer. I just know what I like. And that's, DD actually You say you're not a musician, but if it's you performing on these, then that absolutely qualifies you as a musician, and a good one. Maybe you meant you're not a professional musician?

Maybe you meant you're not a professional musician? lol, kind words. Yes it's me (not a professional by any means), using "beat boxing" (i.e. my mouth - don't laugh) as an initial guide track, then working out which instruments (in Garageband ios, essentially) can create chords I've imagined! So it's digital instruments mainly, with effects, but I stress, no pre-recorded loops. I played it in note for note, cymbal for cymbal, as opposed to grabbing a pre-recorded cymbal track and someone else's guitar riff. Just need a producer to finish of the tracks into a song structure, and SLB to do a harmonised Vox track! (I wish!) I'll do it in all in time, but it's just finding it. But this crowd sourced affair sounds like a better way forward Give Paper Gods more time, it's an excellent record. And I kid you not: 'Face for Today' (which I simply can't stop playing for the second and third choruses alone) and 'Universe Alone' are in my all-time top 10 Duran tracks of all time. Poss top 5. How's that grab you?

I had a chance to listen to cantualla1 and James7609 and I got to say, outstanding! I am curious to know if either of you have scatted out any vocals to them?
I would say I spent a good while listening to both sets and on the Demodd1 I am hearing something, and kind of the Demodd2. Demodd7 sounds like it might be a late chorus section, where as the others sound like verse sections. I would like to hear the verse and chorus parts working together if there is more to them.
On the James7609 front the 1st three tracks on the list have got my attention. I would like to hear more of the verse and chorus in those if possible because I think I am hearing something there to.
Both sets all in all are great pieces of work and musicianship, far more complete than the few I will post, that will be stick figures to your paintings in comparison. Let me say as well to autodidact, nicely done on the covers. This weekend I should have something posted.
Somehow we need to get all our audio posted to the same place, also grouping together like tracks - bass, guitar, synth, vocal, drums, multi-instruments etc... For anyone visiting the thread it might be tedious going through each post for links. Does anyone know of any free upload place besides Sound Cloud or could it do this?

This is music to my ears (pun intended). I was planning on doing my own DD inspired album, but I'd much rather take part in this. I have a number of songs recorded already, and I'll upload them when I get home from work tonight. Very excited!!!

Great idea carvertronic, I'll have to find some of my old demos, and maybe create some new tracks. I play keyboards and listen to a lot of the sounds that Nick has created, sometimes I can be creating a sound and a similar Duran sound will evolve.
