of course i don't mind, i had something written but with an addition of piano and bagpipes we could do a whole load better i would recommend we start the composition with either piano or pipes they are more suited to an anthem styled composition

i suggest one of us starts by writing there part then passing it to the next musician so they can add there part
pretty much like we do with storeys here 

another issue whoever is singing this is going to need to write the lyrics if someone writes them and passes them on the vocalist isn't going to know how words on  paper are supposed to sound

so who wants to put there instrument up first?

hehe well im not entirely sure what we'r after here

do we want a battle march anthem
something fast paced and empowering

or do we want more of a slow sonate
melodic and sombre

thats assuming the vocalist can both read music notation as well as have trained there voice to the notes but i get where your coming from
it also requires that the person writing the lyrics can also write music notation

if anyone can write music notation by all means its a great idea
if anyone can sing vocal notations get you but in this project

here im also taking the opportunity to list the things we'r going to need

we have guitar, drums, bagpipes, and piano
some bass wouldn't go a miss

we need a stable way of recording each instrument
it'll need to be done through sending compositions to one another
as everyone involved does't exactly stay next door to each other.

also needed to decide on what genre this is going along
it obviously can't be a black metal anthem i don't think
to many people enjoy than music here hehe.

finally it might be an idea to figure out what we'r doing with this in the long run.

Anyone at all with further suggestions by all means post
lets try an get the ball rolling

Garage band im acquainted with used to use it for loops when writing
and a cam corder could be used for at least passing on the recordings to one another

there is something i think may work that is using a multi track recorder for example audacity where one of us would record our composition and send the project to the next

the only problem with that is its recorded through your own mic
which in my own case the quality isn't exactly perfect
but as of now it's the best solution i can think off

sounds pretty cool, i'm also a little interested in the vocal parts for the songs but just a label of warning, i don't have a great range, sooooo yea

sweeeeets, sounds good, when you have the lyrics done-ish you should post them here so we can enjoy them

look at modern anthems (hehe modern) , I would suggest to use that as a reference. When you listen to your anthem how do you feel? Patriotic? Proud? Disgusted? or do you feel This fing song again?

Wait, we haven't settled this yet? haha.

I propose Gregorian Chant.

We are the Vast Empire and we like what we do.
We kill rebel scum and we will kill you.
So don't mess with us or you'll regret it.
We will punt your ass just like Becket.

Yeah we have Flyboys and we have Stormtroopers
But occasionally they're as good as shit-scoopers
That's why we have Dark Jedis.
Who will always serve you like fries.

And do not doubt that you will not live.
For Kadann, dark lord, prefers us to be productive
And so we will not be lazy
Even if Snipes and crew are hazy.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhmennnnnnnnnn.

So yeah.  Use that tune with my words.  And we'll have the best anthem evar.

well i like the lyrics and to be honest it saves me time
could you extend it say maybe four verses ?

son as thats done i'll et a solid tune behind it

bump!

Status Update!

Hey I was working on this but I play guitar and my vocals are bust from screamo singing, I need some co workers on this with a bit of dedication to the cause

I did have a thought towards this a few days ago.

Would it not be awesome to have say a 10-15 minute instrumental piece?.

RB if your in agreement we could just use that.

Unless that is the pre-defined anthem, in which case I now feel stupid.

If you can find a song with a decent back track I reckon I could remove the vocals to a point, but then we'd still need someone to sing it.

And not that song by god I tried removing vocals it's like they're nailed in place.

Right

Technically I'm "not her" but I seen this and felt compelled to throw it up here.
