I'm not really sure why you've recounted that lengthy story about Mozart and Salieri. Presumably it's because I asked why you chose to do a particular thing with your track.

I was merely giving the honest feedback that I felt the drums I so liked were too quickly removed and then took too long to return. These are compliments and then just suggestions as to what I would do with the track if it were mine. But it's your track so do what you feel is best for it.

uh... it was an attempt at humor. You might be taking this looper thing too seriously.

Really killer drums. For me, they really stand out. Is that a loop? Maybe not as it's also got some good fills.

Why did you take them out for so long ie between 0:30 and 1:20?

It feels like they should really come back in on 0:49. The perfect drop is there!

The last few seconds are pretty much the perfect ending for this sort of music. But I think you can improve this by lengthening it a bit and not having such a long section without those excellent drums.

I should add that I also liked all the other elements but I'm just focusing on the drums as they stood out to me and then you cruelly took them away!

Thanks for Listening and commenting. Not a loop. Why does anyone do anything.

EMPEROR: Well, Herr Mozart! A good effort. Decidedly that. An excellent effort! You've shown us something quite new today.

[Mozart bows frantically: he is over-excited.]

MOZART: It is new, it is, isn't it, Sire?

EMPEROR: Yes, indeed.

MOZART: So then you like it? You really like it, Your Majesty?

EMPEROR: Of course I do. It's very good. Of course now and then - just now and then - it gets a touch elaborate.

MOZART: What do you mean, Sire?

EMPEROR: Well, I mean occasionally it seems to have, how shall one say? [he stops in difficulty; turning to Orsini-Rosenberg] How shall one say, Director?

ORSINI-ROSENBERG: Too many notes, Your Majesty?

EMPEROR: Exactly. Very well put. Too many notes.

MOZART: I don't understand. There are just as many notes, Majesty, as are required. Neither more nor less.

EMPEROR: My dear fellow, there are in fact only so many notes the ear can hear in the course of an evening. I think I'm right in saying that, aren't I, Court Composer?

SALIERI: Yes! yes! er, on the whole, yes, Majesty.

MOZART: But this is absurd!

EMPEROR: My dear, young man, don't take it too hard. Your work is ingenious. It's quality work. And there are simply too many notes, that's all. Cut a few and it will be perfect.

MOZART: Which few did you have in mind, Majesty?

EMPEROR: Well. There it is.

This is fantastic! I don't see much funk tracks often on this site, but this really made my day. I greatly enjoyed the whole thing. This sounds like this is at a bpm around 120 - 125. This has me bumping from start to finish. Great work!

You're right it's 122 bpm. I grew up near King Records and this is the king of music we listened to. Fun to play. Thanks for listening and commenting.

This is great man!
You have so many good elements here. Love the initial guitar riff (I would like to have it doubled by the bass in the break around 1:00 ...I can really hear it in my head).
The brasses are very well done. The rhythm guitar is a classic but you never go wrong with classic.
Really loved this small piece of music.
Ciao, Domenico

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.
