Midsummer's Lament - Coolvibe

16th Jun 2008 16:49 - 18 years ago
Description : My guitar weeps... I actually wrote this song many years ago (well, the chords to it anyway). Just recently I added the solo's and the twin thingies. It sounds very melancholic. It reminds me of a summer's past. When I wrote it I had the summer of my life, and I was kinda sad it was over.

The drums #####, I know. I just put them there as a click track of sorts, and I know there's better loops out there to use. But what the hey, since you liked the last song so much, here's another :)

I was looking for a lazy, melancholy sound to go with my photos of Tucson, Arizona, murals. I typically like Spanish guitar for anything "Tucson" related, but your track was perfect for my murals. If you'd like me to share with you for your own promotional purposes, let me know.

Kind of a 80's power ballad sound to it. At the end almost a sound like "The night they drove old dixie down" Great work. Funny how a loop site has better musicians than the musician site I also belong too. Check out Sixfinger and Bilbozo for another couple of great guitarists.

I've listened to work done by Six and Bilbozo and yeah, they kick ass. I'm honored that you class me in the same league :) *blush*

Very cool to have another guitarist in the community. This song is very cool and deceptively simple, eh? You might consider doubling or tripling the rhythm guitar to give it a little more meat. And don't sweat drums, simple is good...all that matters is that they are on the beat. Good work. Peace, Six

It is simple (even though there are quite a few chords and some subtle complexity in the rhytm guitar, listen for it closely). The twin solo's are the simple part. The second guitar in the twin is only playing two notes :)

I mostly went after atmosphere. I could probably redo the solo's (there's one glaring mistake in there) and do a little less bending of strings and maybe more arpeggios and hammer-ons.

But I'm glad you like it. Thanks :)

The whole track is about the groove. And melancholy. And groove. And melancholy. And er... Groove. Yeah.

The guitar is awesome! You obviously have talent. My next major purchase for my "studio" will be an electric guitar. I have an acoustic now but feel a bit limited by it. I can still play for hours and get lost in it. Thats what this song reminds me of. Hours spent just strumming a guitar. Loved it. Pep

Acoustic? As in nylon strings? I'm of the persuasion that nylon belongs on women's legs though (no offense). I do own an acoustic guitar, but it's a western with steel strings. Steel has a surprisingly warm sound (imho).

I love electric guitars because they're so flexible in their usage. You can make the weirdest sounds with them (and with a little effort, make it sound somewhat palatable as well)

Glad you like the music. It means a lot to me.

Description : At last I found some time to create something I'd never done before. I made up my mind to mash up tracks by some artists from Looperman and here it is!
Tracks and samples used:
JAI26 - "LM Jam"
PaperKup - "Going"
Pnnywze - synths and drums
Piano, some percussion, VOX chops, arrangement, FX, mixing and mastering by me.
Huge credit goes to JAI26, PaperKup, and Pnnywze for their awesome original tracks and great playing that came together perfectly!

Description : Reworked track, with different acapella and drums. I tried to preserve the acapella original intonation, but the track sounded terrible, so I had to resort to a pretty extreme shift (I won't be mad at ChePaxin if they ask to take this down lol).
