Laid Off - Filaofsoul

Name: Laid Off
Duration: 221 s
Channel: Filaofsoul
Description: Funky mellow jazz looping tune I put together after a friend of mine told me he had been laid off. Used driving Drum Beat(the grandma)who never gives up- the Bass (grandpa)who adds some advice one in a while and the other instruments reflect a family's pain in discussing what just happened. Hope you enjoy the tune and that no has to experience being Laid Off.

Filaofsoul50, man first off this is nice here. And according to the description of your work flow, we’re doing music the exact same way. Your work is phenomenal. Be safe.

Hey, Fila! Just found this track. Missed it two years ago, but better late then never! Excellent track. Loved the groove. Very, very, listenable.

Hey man thanks for stopping by and taking a listen. Comments appreciated. Have to admit was my most difficult to put together and finding the right loops and putting the solos together to keep that feeling. Just released all my songs through CD baby so stop over to filaofsoul.rocks and grab a copy. Will be releasing my first tune in two years here in a few days so look out. Again Thanks!

Wow!
The first bit that got me was .... the description of what lay before me should I press the play button.
An unusual description to say the least and maybe a bit over ambitious but nope .... worked just fine. Set the scene for me and I settled in with that story and that feeling and that place and what a decent family they all turned out to be too!
I do a lot of looping and then editing and effecting etc and piano electric or other wise is so far to difficult for me to get right. My big challenges at the moment are adding vocals and using piano. At the moment I feel I'm beginning to get there slowly with the vocals but the piano will have to be for another time.
I've also tried a few approaches to jazz but oh dear so cold and automated and soulless.
This sounds like the real deal.
Not only am I well impressed I'm a little inspired too.
Fantastic little number that sounds genuine and warm and very real.

Hey silverman thanks for stopping by and taking a listen. I know what you mean. I have been doing this for about 15 years and you dont what to know how many projects I had to dump. My first try at jazz was 55 MPH take a listen took about 7 months of trying different things here and there to get the feeling. I will stop by your stage a take a listen Keeping plugging it will fall in place.

That groove. I was instantly hooked by the keys at the start. Did you use EZ drummer for the drums? They sound great! The progression with those chord is flawless. Great work, friend! It feels like and

I'm browsing the tracks on this site looking for something decent to listen to and went through about 5 pages. Well, nothing worth while until I came across this little jewel! I love pretty much everything about this track, so can't really pin-point any one thing. Great job!

Cheers,
