It's been some time now since we had an official collaboration on a new song.
I'm toying with this idea for a new collab song, at the moment just an embryo of a track, only piano, I want to keep as much open for others as possible.
Will need bass, guitar, drums, other keys (pads ?), vocals,....
The track contains at the moment, 4 bars intro, 2 verses of 8 bars and a chorus of 8 bars. Just to give an idea
What do you think of the idea ?
Who wants to collaborate ?

Sounds interesting - I can almost hear a vocal line more-or-less following the chords up - can't see any words though  Chords and BPM please. |

If you have a poem, I have a tune, and we exchange these, we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Just a quick off-the-cuff. This is intended to be sung, not as an instrumental. I've tried to keep it within an octave  |

Thoughts ?
 Outstanding piano composition  - too good to bury in a lot of instrumentation. A delicate touch is in order here, no matter which way it goes. Once I've got "Bright" sorted out, I'll check back and lend a hand if appropriate... |

Yes, this is an outstanding piano composition and I agree with Oren that this requires a delicate touch. I like Will’s idea and soundscape very much. I also like James’ guitar line, however I did not like the guitar tone that was used. Personally I think mellow is in order here, however I’m probably wrong again.
James, if possible could you redo that excellent guitar line with a mellower tone. I really like your style here!
I’m extremely busy right now but later next week I should have some time. Maybe then I’ll add something if needed. However I personally don’t think a whole lot of orchestration is needed, at least from what I hear at this stage of the game.
Just m $0.02 USD.

If someone can conjure up some lyrics I could have a stab at a vocal. I would need the basis of a song first before I know if I can hit they key  James

Right .... just to see if I can spark something off. First off is a backing track of acoustic guitar chords to drop in the mix if you feel that it might work. It starts on the second verse with the drums, but I have put a 4 click count-in in front of the whole thing. Second is an approximation of the sort of vocal range I could hit, in this key, for two verses and chorus. I do this in the hope that someone could fit a set of lyrics into this type of phrasing ... even an idea to spark my imagination ... I am completely 'dry' at the moment James

In reply to myself .... I managed to progress this a bit further. I now have the 'bones' of a song ... if it is acceptable Deaf, dumb and blind.Here are the first two verses and the chorus. Please let me know if it is worth pursuing. James
