Listen To Midsummer's Lament Rock Song By Coolvibe At Looperman.com

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 suck, 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.

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.

Glad you like it.

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.

Song still needs some mixing and drum repositioning

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.

Description : Produced by me. Vocal by singer from Croatia.
It will be released in few months.
I wanted to offer this song to a singer from LM community but she refused me before i even offered it to her.
I was actually inspired by Richard Shekaris work in here few months ago for this song.
It was meant to be in Latin at first but we found up it's much easier to do it in Italian with almost same effect.
This is all made in FL, no live instruments played , it's all electronic.
Love and peace.

Description : This song was not supposed to be the fourth track of "Diverse waves", but it finally is. Anyway it's a rock oriented track with some interesting sounds. I hope you like it. Worked in zenbeats DAW, by Roland.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).

Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
