Wow... I have no words.
This qualifies as the most beautiful song I have heard in a while (and not only on looperman).
It really touched me: the poem is intelligent and sad. Very sad. I could almost hear that front gate banging. And its sound didn't leave any place for hope.
As Stefano pointed out, the sung counterparts add another dimension to the song. Beautiful.
The light bass builds a kind of "ostinato". Simple and beautiful.
The guitar from Behnam is like a fly trying to escape away. Again: beautiful.
Thanks for this wonderful song.
And thanks for letting me know the verses of this beautiful poem (unfortunately I will not be able to read it in the original version, but the translation is very touching).
Respect.
Ciao, Domenico

A very refined arrangement and playing.

I liked the sung countervocals on the spoken words: a very smart idea!

Cheers,

This track is the perfect example of how powerful music can be without the use of speed and volume. I'm sayin', the track is awesome!!!

I like it bro, it has a stripped down apocalyptic feel to it. Cool vibe going and things are well mixed. I would like to hear your vocals processed a little more and boosted in the mix a bit. I think from 2:30 to 2:50+ could use a change or some new texture added but Overall a nice track. I dig it.

Description : Made with a good amount of out of tune on a very minory chordy tuning I did about a week or two ago.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.
