Listen To East Ethnic Song By Saraswati At Looperman.com

Description : Work in Progress: This is the first 2 minutes or so of my second track. Still refusing to actually learn how to use Garage Band, I am making this track by ear with very little understanding of what I am doing, but I am enjoying the results so far and intend to use them for my fusion bellydance classes. As yet the track does not have a bass line, but I'm not sure if I even need/want one. Track will be updated upon completion, but for now your feedback is appreciated! Thanks :)

**UPDATED AUG 12** Little more sub bass added... sounding closer to what I was aiming for, but I'm definitely still learning about this whole science o' music. Thanks for all the feedback & suggestions! Cheers, S.

Great piece. Nice work across the soundscape. It sure causes the listener to move about.
Keep on composing.

What type of string instrument did you use? I love the rhythm you put together. Are you sure you put this together by ear? Lol

Saraswati replied Unknown
Hehe, yeah I put all my tracks together by ear (which probably takes 10 times longer and is a thousand times more frustrating) but it works for me because most of the tunes I make I use in dance classes, so if I can 'feel' that the rhythm is even then I'm happy! lol. It's mostly trial and error, but it's pretty satisfying when I get it right.
The string instrument is an Oud, but the loop itself it not mine, it came from here on looperman. I foolishly re-named it so I could find it again after the download and now I am trying to hunt down the person that created the original Oud track so I can give them a shout out. I'll post their username once I find it.
An Oud is kind of like an old fashioned 'lute'. It's the Middle Eastern 'guitar' in the minds of a lot of belly dancers. Really beautiful sound. I'm looking for loops of the Middle Eastern Rabab too, if anyone has any leads...

Nice Panning. Very nice sounding. The deeper kick gives it more tension. The groove is chill like going on your way bout your day and then that switch puts you on your toes for whatever happens next. A routine to this song would definitely be good. Tight work, only 1 way but up!

Not a bad little piece, perfect for belly dancing.

Keep going with this Sara. Another fine blend my friend. Some sub-bass might work inserted every fourth up beat or so (if that makes sense ha ha). The change at about 1.20 took me by surprise then nicely back into the rhythm again

Many thanks, Visionary! Trying out some bass options tonight... I feel like a mad scientist.

Cool song, has a really nice flow. I like the percussion a lot but i def think it needs some sort of bass, even if it isnt actually a proper bass line. What you have though is good, keep it up! :)

Thanks! Still working on it... bass always seems to be my problem, likely because I'm still figuring out the fine art of mastering. Your feedback will improve my next draft for sure :)

Description : Inspired by traditional turkic and mongolic old music. The choice of instruments, such as oud and Daf, are an inspiration from the turkish culture and some rythm styles are inspired by mongolian music. I Hope you enjoy it and have use for it.

Description : This track is an experimental version of the popular Hindu mantra Om Namah Shivaye, wonderfully sung by Ankit Sharda. The female background vocalist doesn't want her name mentioned in the credits.

The song was created on Caustic Beta Version 3.8, and mastered on Mastering Beta Version 5; both Android apps from Single Cell Software. The new Sawsynth synthesizer in Caustic was used in the background & synth bass (paired with another bass).

Description : Not sure about the sideboards on the Ethnic genre. Trying out new sounds here. I'm using sitar and marimba with Indian and Indonesian drums. Does the listener need a solo or spoken word after the melody or does the open part work by itself?
I think it's a good piece. Almost.

Description : This is a Latin -Spanish flavored tune. In fact, I don't see a catagory for it so I put it under 'Ethnic'.

I eat now and then at a 'Mighty Taco' resturant near me and decided to call this one "El Nino". :-)

This tune is kinda off beat for me, but I am sure someone on here will like it. Made from loop a CD I have full of Nylon guitar loops only, I purchased early last year, and put together with other loops and synth for weird effects.
Ha.....maybe I am getting weird since my last tune was heavy metal!
Hope you like it.
