Description : so this is something I've been messing about with for a couple of days ...just wanted to see if I could do something at a speeder tempo but still be downtempo....
I struggled with the intro because I didn't want to make it too dark... I have a tendancy to do that sometimes... I wanted to keep it light and airy...
the bassline still ain't right but .. I might go back and tweak it later...
I made thing whole track in reason5 and encoded it in audacity to mp3...
any comments welcome as always
Description : Headphones are recommended for a more immersive experience :P - - - A weary American soldier is walking through the remains of what used to be a small town in the middle east, only to rediscover the horrible reality that sometimes war can affect even the ones who have no part in it.

This is my first attempt at creating a virtual environment to tell a story and convey emotion. Hope you enjoy! Comments are welcome!

Description : Guys, I have been asked again to do another track for another friend's son.
He has asked me to do the track with an eighties heavy ascent.
I have come up with this I hope you all like it.
Description : This is for my friend Danke who can't sleep at night. Yes, heat, heat...I guess Africa is hotter, but don't let the title and intro as well, deceive you! This is not African music nor the imitation of it. It's just a picture of starry African sky at night, painted with my european musical sensibilities and some imagination. So this is for Danke in the first place and then maybe for anyone who would like to fall asleep.:)...
Good night!:)
Description : Dear Loopers...Let Ed and me take you to the world of yet another musical fantasy born out of our latest collab efforts. Ed provided basic structure of the track with ever solid rhythm section, tasty synths and vocal pads while I took
on a role of pretending to be multi-instrumentalist again by smuggling in some sweet strings, bulgarian flute, celtic harp,
unexpectedly blurry piano and this time a tiny bit of real live acoustic guitar...what an adventure for a vst/keyboard guy..:) As always
my sincere thanks to Ed not only for letting me enjoy his great musical company but also for still standing as one of the firm pillars of Looperman society !
Description : Un tema sencillo, suave. Espero que les guste.
Description : I just painted a picture of abandoned sanctuary and I thought it could sound like this...:)
Description : I went to the beach and set up my stereo recording mic under a gazebo near it (I apologize for some of the air gusts being recorded haha; we had a strong SE wind that day :P Tried my best to place it out of the wind); wanted to record myself playing live and do some cheesy roleplay in the process - wanted to make it feel like the listener was sitting there beside me. ** This is what the beach looks like: http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/destinations/80/south_padre_island_main.jpg **
Lo and behold, I'm about halfway through the song when my buddy Mark, a friend from college, heard me singing and decided to join me (he seems to never part with his guitar lol).
The expression on his face was that of confusion as to why I had my mic with me and a audio-capturing device, which I plugged into an outdoor electrical plug that the gazebo owners installed lol (I've done recordings like this before but didn't like the results; we messed up a little at the end but I was like meh it's not bad anyways.) but I'm glad he didn't say it out loud or it would have ruined the recording lol. Luckily, I was playing a song he and I wrote together some time ago, so he was able to just jump right in. He's a great guitar player.
Even though it was a little awkward at the end since we hadn't seen each other for like 4 months (you might be able to tell by the way I responded to his "thats so cool" comment haha), I think it turned out just fine. It was a lovely evening and the clouds were all poofy and happy. Lots of people were there too, though I made sure to sit far away from all of them. Ahh, it was a beautiful day. I'm glad I live by the ocean :P * Just kidding, I recorded this in my studio; though I do live close to the water, this was not recorded there :P I did everything, down to the wind blowing into the mic, except for the sound of water and the kids in the background. I got those sounds here: freesfx.co.uk/login/
The guitars and vocals were one-takes to give a more realistic feel. No pitch-correction or autotune. Just wanted to try making another soundscape (or whatever you want to call this :P) about what it's like to live by the ocean.
Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

Description : Guys, I've Just looked at my old music archives and thought to bring some of them out for you guys to listen to.
I've made this track in loving memory of my dear brother who sadly died of cancer. He was my rock, my confidant I am already missing him.
I hope you enjoy it if you do then please leave me a comment.

Description : Glen Cloy is one of the glens of Antrim (Tumbleweed's county) in Northern Ireland. The little people, actualy fairies, populate all of them and they all have very old ghost stories that have been told for centuries (and still are)...This one is about Shaman of old and his journeys through the spiritual world...That sums up what Ed told me about the concept for our 7th (how convenient^^) collab work. The main core of the track is Ed's work and the original length was 5:18, but I wouldn't have been Orlando if I didn't tempt to compose my longest intro to date (3:10) to inject my own fantasies about little creatures of Glen Cloy (soft spot for spiritual world..hehe..). Other than that I also added some synths arrangements and vocal samples for the rest of the track and probably ruined it a bit..haha..but that's how collabs are sometimes..:)^^.....All my thanks to Ed...and Irish ghosts ofcourse...
What a special ambient...nothing wrong with the bass...gives tension for the song...your pads are stunning and the 'slow' and 'fast' changing is so nice...
Congrats and I'm happy to know your musical artwork...
Respect, Danke
Thank you for allowing downloads,
Great job letting the sand settle on this one.
I particularly like the minor 3rds and 2nds on this.
I think one thing that Trent Reznor had a knack for is the b7's and then pushing them into the major, which I think you pulled off here effortlessly.
Drums are exceptional.
I wish I could play my drums like this.
Levels feel perfect.
The dubstep/reese is very very nice.
I wish I could pull it off like you can.
Goddamn I love those off-notes.
A lot.
Soo perfect how you reiterate them into the mix ...
More ride maybe? Right at about the 6:00 mark...
Tsh tsh tsh, with the loop playing... I think it would lend itself to the visceral appeal of the track.
Sick in all the right ways man.
Well done.
I will be burning my AbePod out to this one.
Great soundscapes, really love the atmosphere. Could really be a cinematic tune aswell. Nice progression through the track, it's long but it keeps moving. The piano sounds a bit nin-ish and the whole reminds me a lil of ghosts tracks.
Great production man, faved for sure.
Subtly is a hard skill to master, will admit to that.
Panning/seperation is good, but those clicks may be need to be refined, maybe some subtractive eqing somewhere inbetween the 4-8Khz range and up the lower 400-800Hz range.
The bongo cut in the beginning was a little loud and needed some reverb, maybe automate the reverb to come in at the end of the bongo cut.
Same with the synth near the end, a little loud but this time maybe a delay to give it a louder and complex feel throughout (when not loud) whilst it plays.
Sub is good, though I would either hit the 150-300Hz range subtractively or up the 30-60Hz range ot hit it more belly wobblin' bass :)
Nice atmosphere, keep it up man.
Steve
If I had been listening blind I would have put money on it being simmerdown (until the beats came in). Nice change. The whole track doeshave a slightly insettling, sinister feel. Progresses well.
Great stuff! This is some very good ambient music. I agree with Spiv that this track is also cinematic. All the elements work together nicely. Thanks for sharing such a powerful piece.
Tddj
Very cool soundscapes! Definitely very cinematic I think! I like it when the beats come in! This is mixed really well! You are a man of many talents! Well done!
haha nice my friend!
If your gonna add the wolf howl like 3n0 said, maybe you can also look for some spooky church bells or something ? t
they usually go great together!
Other than that I don't really have any criticism for ya...
I loved the intro man it was really good (just like the rest of the track.. lol)
this is amazing sound construction and great music - in someways reminiscent of of how muslimgauze might sound today - awesome ambient drones wrapped around tight interesting beats - much respect
add some wolf howl at begggining!!!!
first 3 min sounds dark (scary) like something from horror movie remindes me of movie dog soliders...
i think you should keep the track mood as it is...
you did a great job here!
G'day my friend
Matey what a tranquil piece, so so relaxing and soothing, very sweet pads, great fx and panning, this piece makes you feel like you are on journey floating away from all your cares in the world, total professional touch to this one my friend, from clarity to arrngement the package is brilliant, Most fav piece of yours to date, big call as you know how much I love your DnB...Peace and respect mate...Estefano...
