The Board at Home Thread

Me and my mate are playing this really fun game. One person records one track, 8 bars long at 120 BPM. Exports to a wav file and uploads it to Google drive. The next person adds a layer and saves it back. etc etc. Just a bit of fun but we’ve come up with some cool stuff.

No rules about genres or instruments etc, you end up making something and the other person can take it in a completely different direction than you expect.

Not sure how many musicians are on here… Anyone down?

Covid Collab.

Yeah that’s what I’m using. All you do is record an individual wav for each track and then you can just layer them up however you want.

cool cool cool cool cool. get a g drive link going then I’m keen. You have to start though.

Rebuilt a balance board thingy for real cheap, can post instructions if really necessary?

Please do.
I was using one of them foam rollers and it snapped. I’ve seen others using what looks like a plastic bottle filled with water. But that can’t be right surely.
You didn’t have to dress up for us but it’s appreciated.

I’ll write it up tomorrow then, nothing groundbreaking. The main thing is finding somewhere that does cheap cork yoga rollers

Myeah, I ain’t leaving the house for cork.

Can imagine you on one of these, dreads, diablo sticks etc

You know the Internet delivers everything right? You think I actually went into a yoga shop and bought some cork?

I got this weird thing about ordering from the internet lately. I know it’s their job and really important to keep these companies going but I feel like I’m hassling people.

Oof. Plastic bottle and water it is!

Alright cool I’ll whip something up and get a thread going.

Listen to loads of radio stations across the world. Not sure why you’d want to but it’s kind of amusing.
