Username: NP
Instrument(s) played: Well....I played violin in elementary school. (I kind of started on viola but switched.) In middle school I started to play the trumpet and french horn. And in high school I learned euphonium, mallets, and some percussion. I also play guitar and it's my goal to learn a little bass this summer.....And piano, 'course. I've also done some soundboard work too.
Are you willing to collaborate with other members: Sure.

I played in the very small ensemble of string players of my elementary school, and in band ( for middle school and high school, and I was in a metal band my... sophomore year I think. In band I played brass and percussion, and in the metal band I played guitar and helped with various shiz. I just graduated, so I don't play in high school band anymore, but I might join college band. The metal band broke up.

(And I've been doing plenty of random small ensemble/solo work for a variety of events throughout high school.)

Short cover of 'Give a Reason' from The Slayers (one of my fav anime). I love this song way too much. XD Sorry for the random beeps. I had a fire alarm thingy that was low on batteries when i recorded it.

A request gift for a cutesy version of this song. I was really sick singing it. AND you can tell haha.

https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=21195593
A song I cant sing cause its too powerful and I was too sick at the time to sing anymore than this much of it on that day. It sounds horrible but I love this song.

https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33015260
Random messing around that started off good and got worse because yeah lol

https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34085310
^^;;; This was something someone dared me to do. But it has singing in it if you listen for a bit. Sorry for the randomness in it >_>;;; You can hear my soft voice better because its a capella. (I have no clue how to sing that song, gais, so sorry if its really bad/wrong).

https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34085296
Very short thing....I don't know this song either and I stumble over words, and then my breathing started getting bad by the end so it all fell apart. But I get an A for effort. Or would that be an E >_>........

 

[CarefulWetPaint]

Welcome to the club NP!
That is a large array of band work you have done, you must be very talented xD

Guys, I totally got drums down. I just bought some new mics for my kit. S'all good.

... Does this mean youll play the drums for us in that song..??????? Please be yessss!!@!

 

[Squirrel]

Guys, I totally got drums down. I just bought some new mics for my kit. S'all good.

As in you're gonna drum on the project?? :D

Kurui those are amazing! You're seriously talented!

I'll upload some of my covers soon, just as soon as I get time to record them c:

 

[Kurui]

Testing testing 1, 2, 3~

https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34097464

I have no clue how to sing this but heres my first try at learning the verse 1. ^^;; Hopefully it somewhat resembles the right tune? Probably not >_> I need to learn the words by heart so I don't stumble over them trying to read them while singing (cause thats *obviously....* what I was doing heheh......).

I'll try to do the actual record on a day I don't feel so sick so my breathing won't sound so wonky like it does in this test run XD

That chorus is really fast. I'm trying to learn the rhythm of it right now, then basically I'll have the whole song down rhythm wise.

That is fantastic Kurui! I am so happy you agreed to help us with this project. Now I need to learn the song as well as you so I don't ruin your amazing attempt!

 

[Renyui!]

I have like a bass drum mic, a toms mic, and a snare drum mic. I might be investing in more later though, I really wanna get a fuller tone.

And yeah, I will drum for the track! It sounds pretty sweet, I'll give you that ^-^

Username- Zayphora
Instruments- I play clarinet, piano, and am working on saxophone.
Collaborate- No thanx.

At my school, people tend to ignore the clarinets, and we aren't allowed in Jazz Band, which is the main way to get noticed in band. So, my friends and I have a thing about clarinet ignoring-
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE AWESOMENESS!!!
It's, like, our clarinet motto. We (or at least I) wrote it on our clarinet cases.

 

[Kroso]

Username: Kroso
Instrument(s) played: Trombone(Still learning), Guitar(Still learning), and Bassist(Still learning)
Are you willing to collaborate with other members: Why not? Do keep in mind that I'm slowly progressing on these three instruments, but with little effort I can accomplish something.

 

[CarefulWetPaint]

YAY!! WE HAVE A DRUMMER! YEWW!
Now all we need is a bassist.. If interested just post here or vm me :)

Welcome Zayphora.
Oh thats just stupid, why arent clarinets allowed? I don't think thats very fair at all! You should protest about it.

Welcome to you as well Kroso!
How long have you been playing all those instruments for? I'm sure the more you practice the more progress you'll make and you'll be a fantastic player in no time! Always practice practice practice! :)

 

[NP]

Zayphora: Whatttt? At my old school, clarinets were the shiz. I mean, sure the trumpets ruled the band, but everyone liked the clarinets better. Are you working on sax to be in jazz or something?

CWP: Clarinets aren't allowed in most high school jazz bands because they're not traditionally jazz instruments.

 

[Kurui]

I decided I'm posting my UTAU stuff in here too. Its technically music making. Just with voices as instruments instead of digital instruments. C:

I have only 3 UTAU of my voice, but I don't use them frequently. I rather use my friends. Unfortunately not all of them have good mics or some reason their files get corrupted meaning I have to just use like 10 of their syllables to makeshift words. Either way it is FUN!

~~**~~

I didn't make all of these USTs, but I did extensively edit them, some to the point that they might as well be mine XD;;.

Hana Bob & Hana Futashi

Spoiler:

Voiced by my brothers, they usually duet songs and are kind of like boyband superstars in that regard~. Futashi's voice is more suited for pop songs with higher pitches and fancy pantsy stuff. He typically sings lead in songs. Bob has a more nasally voice, and much deeper and gravelly. He is suited better for some rocking songs when he solos, but he makes great back up to his brother.

Their recordings are pretty high quality as they use my mic.

Hana Bob sings 'Yuragi': https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34025785

Hana Futashi sings 'Clingy Boy': https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34068657

Both duet on the pop hit 'Loveless'. Futashi on lead with Bob on back up. This UST was edited by Mr. Dark. I had no participation in making this one:
https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34026119

Ichijo Tetsunori

Spoiler:

His voice bank only has like 20 syllables because it corrupted on my UTAU along with a lot of other ones >_< and he was an unfortunate victim. He is voiced by my husbando, Kageroza-kun. And I can't seem to get Kageroza-kun to do a re-record. His voice is still sexy even with the horrible mic quality and poor bank. I make him sing all kinds of stuf, but my favourite thing to do is to make him duet with Kitty-chan's UTAU as their voices are eargasm together. XD Not that he can't make me eargasm all by himself =//=. Also he sounds more authentic Japanese because well, duh.

A blend of different songs by him. Just me fooling around with bends and all that with him: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33754092

Tetsunori singing the chorus to 'Chou', but I was having trouble making it o.o: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33753037

If you knew my husband, you'd know that he has a number of phrases he most uses XD especially online where he is even more withdrawn than irl. "I see" (kinda like, oh really? that type of I see) is one of those phrases. So I took one of my fav choruses from one of my fav songs and make him "Sou ka" the entire thing. But I otoed it crappy and the K didnt come out right.....but yeah, xD He didn't talk to me for like a day after >_>.......:
https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33747004

And this was the epic "AHHHH!" beginning to Cendrillon, because Ilove his Ah's and I wanted to make him sing the girly Ah part XD: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33746958
My pitch bends are a little bad, sorry. >_>;;

Matsuki Hiro

Spoiler:

This is my favourite UTAU to work with. :D I love this voice so much but some of their bank was also corrupted >_>;;........Not many though so they mostly have a full bank. It was voiced by Emozomi-chan (female), but the UTAU's real gender remains a mystery. Still I love this voice. It gives me heartwarming tingles when I hear Hiro sing. XD I would marry his/her voice if that's possible. Before anyone asks, NO her voice was not gender bent. She has that deep of voice naturally.

Hiro badazzedly singing 'Funeral Nocturnal Luminescence': https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33758134

Hiro showing a softer side of singing 'Beast Soul'. https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33757241

It's time to du-du-duel. XD I found this ust and edited it slightly to fit. Hiro showing Duel Monster spirit singing 'Kawaita Sakebi': https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33756911

Shinogati Reina

Spoiler:

Our resident Neko-UTAU! She's a gentle cat girl with a high pitched, small voice to match. She also apparently can't say Japanese "r's" XD But we love you Kitty-chan! She is voiced by Kitty-chan (Christina). Her mic quality was one of the more horrible, but her bank is completely uncorrupted~ YAY. Her voice is the perfect pair to Tetsunori's. I'm making them do a few duets with custom harmonies~ >//<

Reina sings 'Aozora'. I did not make the UST, just edited: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33756908

Vexy

Spoiler:

Newcomer, whos bank was one of the most corrupted ever, although not as much as Tetsunori's or Dahlia's. However, his syllables can match most songs actual words, as you'll hear. :D He's voiced by dear old Vexen. And his voice is as sexy as evar. He's probably my second favourite UTAU to work with, beaten only by Hiro.

Here he is singing 'Sakurane' which most of our UTAU have sang because we had a contest. He won with his version, almost full kill :D: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33908169
Note: This song was not mixed. Since we did it just for contest purposes, but I'll have a mixed version soon.

And this is a short sample of 'Blue Bird'. I made the UST myself. I also tried mixing.: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33922366

And this is a short sample of my fav song by him. 'If You're Not Here' (I think is the title). I did not make the UST but I edited heavy. : https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33967412
Note: Thank you, Kitty-chan for nominating this song for him to sing!
The harmonies are sex in my ears. Vexy can REALLY sing. Really.......

Dahlia

Spoiler:

The worst victim of the corruption. Poor Dahlia barely has any syllables, but he wanted so bad to participate in the contest so I edited a portion of the song full of his very few syllable bank ^^;;; He has a full song coming out that has syllables more to what ones didn't corrupt. Also, no resamplers work on him. I'm not sure what the problem is...... Dahlia is voiced by Marly. Sadly, he doesn't have many fans. I hope his full song helps that change because he sounds so beautiful singing it.

Marly sings a sample of 'Sakurane': https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33957878

ZuZu

Spoiler:

One of my UTAU. I made her more attuned for english/clear engrish. She has a very distinct voice to match her character. As of right now she can sing in Japanese, Engrish, and a good bit English.

Zuzu's Engrish 'Firework' cover (Yes, the Katy Perry song). Made by Nuku and Mr. Dark: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34024827

PONPONPON!!!!: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34024904

A request cover. I don't know where they found the ust......I think the song is called 'Stella Marine': https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33754228

Manai Yokoshima

Spoiler:

Our most popular UTAU~ This is Manai Yokoshima. He is voiced by Mr. Dark who is the guy who got us all into UTAU to begin with. He was our first ever UTAU in Sumitsuki. His voice is very unique ^^;;; but very full of emotion somehow. People have stated that they could be "moved to tears" in the emotional songs he sings, which is what he prefers. I think he sounds similar to a Slig from Oddworld XD (but I love you Mr D).

This is my most proud work. I studied many UST and the song to make this. There was a very vital point where we thought Mr. D has committed suicide and this is the very song I wanted him to sing. I slaved on the UST for some days. So yeah this is the pride of my UTAU work on this one song right here. 'Uninstall'.: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34026203

His first song really ever released, 'Hidoor Utopia' and with it he scored the heart of Jei-chan XD Who is now his girlfriend: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=34026041

There are many more UTAU >_>......but I save them for a nother post. So many ;___;. We are also mostly males (Girls hate me I swear XD ). But next you'll meet more of the UTAU cast. I'm going to leave you with some duets, etc.

DUETS

Spoiler:

Vexy and Dahlia get their groove on in the small intro of 'Insanity': https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33954420

Reina and Tetsunori are 'Hurting for a very Hurtful Pain' in this WIP duet: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33750930

And now Reina and Tetsunori are begging for your love in this small harmonies test~: https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33750004

Yaoi lovers rejoice. Tetsunori and Yokoshima make your heartrate rise in their sinful lust-driven song 'Magnet': https://www.esnips.com/displayimage.php?pid=33754166
Mr. D you make me jealous being all yaoi with my husbando T_T

And that is it for my UTAU tour! Part 1 anyway. You'll meet Jei-chan and the Futashi/Bob Twin's mother and more on the next round.

Are you willing to collaborate with other members: Of course, what's the point of playing music, if you don't do it with others?

Have you played in a band/ensemble before? Yes, right now I'm in a rock band with three of my friends. We're the guys on mi sign.
Are you still playing with them? Yeah lmlr
How long have you been playing with them and what instrument do you play with them? Like seven months. I'm playing the bass and do chorus/second voices.

 

[CarefulWetPaint]

Kurui I have no idea what UTAU things are.. But your voice is amazing! You are soooo talented!

Welcome to the club Dark!
I see that you are busting out in that band! Do you guys make any money from it doing gigs etc??

Also everyone we still need a bassist, do we have any takers yet?

 

[FlyingHatTrick]

I'm sorry but I can't take that bassist position. Even though I know how to play the bass to some extent (string bass, might can try out the bass guitar), I don't have an actual instrument that I can take home. :C

 

[Kurui]

Oh~!!!

UTAU is a program much like a music making program, where you place notes and lengths and edit them to make tunes/music. Instead of instruments, you use voices.

I get my husbando/friends/family to make banks of syllables, and that program uses my taking syllables and plaving them down, and renders them into their voice singing said syllable.

So it is like creating a digital....singer? I guess.

EDITO~~~:

Spoiler:

My beautiful husbando sings a pretty song for you!!!!! Click on his gorgeous face to hear him sing his luff for youuuuuu.

Welcome to the club Dark!

Also everyone we still need a bassist, do we have any takers yet?

Yes, sort of it. In the last gig, we won about 100 dollars xD
We are in the process of let the people know us, we don't expect earnings yet.

Also, I don't know what is the project, but if I can be of help from distance (since I'm living in Mexico), you've a bassist ;)

EDIT: I've a question, can we upload videos or audio files about our music? I'll like to share some of our own songs (they´re in spanish, sorry XD) so you can make an idea of our work.

 

[Kurui]

I think you can because I am singing it from a distance, I think we just record and send our parts for CWP mixing. And I share lots of my things so i think sharing is very allowed!
