Listen To Im Not A Machine Cinematic Song By CitizenMofo | Looperman

Description : When a machine denies that it's a machine, perhaps that's a form of enlightenment. Or the beginning of a transformation, Pinocchio-like. This track explores this thought with a series of cinematically interlocking grooves. Or something like that. I really, really appreciate people's comments, so please do; if you have criticisms, please share - that's how we learn and improve.

If you have time take a listen and give CitizenMofo some feedback.

kind of a multi-genre trip here CitizenMofo...I really like the cinematic genre as it gives you all kinds of license to take the music wherever the spirit moves you....you made good use of it here and you did a nice job of holding it all together with the breats & transitions....good on ya.....Ed

Yeah, I never know what genre to put my stuff in. I don't think in genres, just in sounds that I like. Which is probably why I'll never be rich and famous, oh well. I wanted a head-bopping body-mover that reached a sort of beatific climax. Whether I achieved that or not, it's good to hear that it resonates with someone. Thanks for the listen and comment, Tumbleweed, I appreciate it.

Thanks, subzone. Yeah I had fun with this piece, especially since it was a 2nd draft and the 1st draft was a wreck and a horror. Sometimes things fall into place with a little bigger push. Your comment made my day!

a score throughout the title sequence of a snatch or lock stock two smoking barrels type of modern street criminal plot with lots of appropriate visuals to link the two pieces in continuity like slamming doors when theres a large drum or otherwise hit in the arrangement of instrument loops which i presume the piece is comprised of- tetris style ,,,,sorta

i love the way you used the clips of spoken word and the dialect is very potent and i like how it distorts my audio/video mental stream when its rendered by memory

Thanks, SoulMaaaan, for your listen and comment. Yes! Distorting the audio/video mental stream through music, that's what it's all about. I don't like the cliches and triteness and shallowness that we're constantly bombarded, brainwashed, and dumbed-down with by popular culture. A big reason why America is in such dire straits, with criminals running our banking system and the 99% stunned senseless by the obvious collusion of government in financial crimes against the people. So we need some new sounds! Some fresh thinking! Some real truth! Some distorting of the audio/video mental stream! OK, climbing down off my soapbox now... Thanks!

If you like doing this kind of stuff you might enjoy this which is a video and original arrangement of a track I did from loops that came in magix and downloaded royalty free content as well - mashed up to look at best like space travel through a celestial dance rave techno show/venue/event

i love american DJ products and special thanks to them!

Hi again, SoulMaaaan, I dig your music video, both the music and the video - you're working with some stunning images there and you're beyond me in video capability. I use Windows Live Movie Maker and just do basic mash-up things using video bits freshly borrowed from youtube or images from my rather large stash from when I used to make weird T-shirts. I love it, it's a blast, and adds a cool dimension to the music. Check out some of my vids on youtube if you're of a mind - I've got 7 there, 3 political ones and 4 just my weird music, under CitizenMofo. Rock on.

Very nice, you are exploring Laurie Anderson territory with this piece.

CitizenMofo replied 7th Jul 2013 - 12 years ago
Thanks for the listen and comment, crucethus. I wasn't familiar with Laurie Anderson and so watched her video "O Superman" on youtube. Yes, strange, wonderful stuff, and I can see a definite lining-up of sensibilities there. Thanks for turning me on to this and helping me learn something.

Description : First off, a big thank you to Condybeats for his guitar and Rasputin for the Rhodes. As soon as I heard the guitar, I had immediate imagery. Play the track all the way through to unfold the story. Very cinematic!

Description : 4!_(07@2nd) harmonic protocol reboot sequence

This track is an elaboration of dgalantic’s track “Starting Over 0172257.” It is almost entirely comprised of loops by other artists on looperman. The newsreel in the intro section is from public domain footage of the Vietnam War. Prince Fatty chimes later in with some words of wisdom. The track was sequenced with Mixtikl and edited in Audacity.

Loops from the following artists are included:
1. ThatJeffCarter’s guitar “feedback 197765”
2. three of Nightingale’s harmonica trills: “angels 0088377, inner light 0088361 and never and never 0088366”
3. Heavily fx’ed vocal excerpts from Eshar’s “7th Dimension 0002644”
4. Dcmack’s rhythm loops “2 bass drums 1- 0085449, 2- 0085446, and 4- 0085448.”
5. Steelyvibe’s choral wash “luno frunezo 0005719”
6. Nightingale’s guitar loop “diving deep 0043488”
7. Rasputin1963’s chorals “ soul ladies gospel riff 0088641 and reggae soul girls choir 0087693”
Genre: Cinematic
Tags: papico, Cinematic, Piano, feedback, choral washes, choir, harmonica, guitar, dgalantic- starting over, thatjeffcarter-feedback, dcmack- 2 bass drums 1,2 and 4, nightingale-angels, inner light, never and never, diving deep, eshar-7th dimension, steelyvibe- luno frunezo, rasputin1963-soul ladies gospel riff, reggae soul girls choir, Vietnam War newsreel

Description : Dark, slow, ambient, cinematic jazz with funereal piano turning into something much funkier, psychedelic and beautiful in the second half. Out of the darkness and into the light, you could say. Instruments: electric guitar + bass, lots of synth sounds, including a horn, double bass, another big legato bass, pizzicato strings, two types of piano, a heavily delayed slide guitar instrument, zither, synth arp, one brushy drum loop, kettle drum rolls and 4 programmed acoustic drum kits. This is quite a special track for me and is only the second I've put in the cinematic genre. The more you listen, the more it changes (it even has key changes) and the last three minutes are really quite far out and should probably be longer. Best track I've made for a few months. Interesting thoughts and reflections appreciated. Free sex for the best reviews...

Description : I'm going to file this under Cinematic. It's quite a dark and brooding track, maybe suitable for a Sci Fi film? I kept things simple with this, used a few loops as building blocks, then added some synths (Vital and Z3ta+ vst's). Probably a bit different to the other tracks I've uploaded so far? But I like a bit of variety. Feel free to download or comment. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Description : It's been a long time since I posted a track.

Voyager...
I wanted to go with something very spacey. Huge sci-fi fan, from anime to cheesy 60's B movies. I didn't want something all dystopian. It's been done. So, I kinda thought I would make something about a lonely space traveler. I named the track after the Voyager I space satellite. The 'Voyager' in my head(vision?) was just an astronaut. But, he watches the earth die. The last person alive scenario. Hard to imagine what the last person alive would have in his head....

Track Detail - Sequenced in Reason 4. Nothing on this is a real instrument. The intro pad is a weird little Malstrom patch with a envelope filter and chorus. The chorus module is cv modulated non synced so its kind of wild. The first pluck instrument is a Koto. It's not played the way it should so it sounds more like an acoustic guitar. The violins are a Mellotron patch. The acoustic guitar isn't a preset patch but was made using Reason's other presets. I like that patch. Could of tried recording a guitar but I found that mock up to be alright. Other sounds were some weird modulated textures made with Thor. Drums were just samples that were filtered and pitched to fit. Kick and snare played off my Axioms pads. Hats were in a Redrum module.

Listen and enjoy. If you don't like it, leave me violent feedback lol. Cheers :D
