JJ im just finding your stuff here at the loop and this is super regards Robbie

It's past 4/20, lol. But seriously, it's a pretty chill track. I like it

Nice, as short as this is, it is very powerfull,
really nice mix!

~Eighteen

This kind of music is one of my favorites. Very Pink Floydish. Thanks for the music

Psychadelic erotica sounds right up my street so i thought i'd give this one a whirl. Love the intro, reminds me a little of pink floyd.
Everything is splendidly mixed but why ony one and a half minutes? I was just getting into it then it faded out.
HMPH!!

chill track ;D

I hear a Floydian interlude on this one with a hip hop like beat. very nice!

I love listening to longer pieces, but I like short pieces like this one as well!:)

Compliments____Orlando

Hey you don't need help with much as this was so bloody amazing ....short but bloody amazing.

Well, I've already given a fair bit of detail on transition suggestions so won't make anymore here.

Instead, I'll just second Valvedriver's simple but good advice.

This might work very nicely as an interlude, quite possibly an album intro.

I'd rather hear a longer, fuller version but maybe if you just bring in and drop out the same loops for about a minute more, it'll be a cool album intro for a couple of minutes.

I agree with Tumbleweed that there isn't anything wrong with your transitions. However, you did say you were lacking knowledge in how to make transitions so I thought I'd give a few basic suggestions, though it's hard to know if they'll be of any particular help here.

And I have no idea why Behnam doesn't hear the Pink Floyd similarity - it's obvious within about 3 seconds to me.

And the guitar is very Gilmour-esque.

Both of those are good things but there's much more than just Floyd going on here so not just a ripoff of their wonderful and truly groundbreaking style. That band is its own genre!

Hey JJ...you don`t need any advice on your compositional thinking at all...and the transitions going on here are smooth & right on...I could have listened a lot longer...judging by the results I`d say just keep doing what you do...I know about the patience thing very well...I have trouble finishing what I`m doing a lot as my head picks up a new idea....well done on this one...Ed

Granted, this is short. But, you can use that to your advantage. This would be a good interlude on an album. This would work well to transition between two tracks that wouldn't otherwise flow well. Or, you can take the same loops, rearrange them slightly and use the two different versions as "Bookends" to an album. I've done that before, when I had a track that was too cool to get rid of, but too short to stand alone.
As far as the arrangement goes, I really, REALLY like what you've done with it. It does have that Pink Floyd element to it. Normally, I don't make that comparison, because in my little world, Pink Floyd are on an untouchable pedestal. But, the proof is in the puddin'. Can't argue with what obviously is.
Good work.

Take care, and I wish for you, that the new arrival is happy and healthy.

What a mistake from me dear Lady!

I missed this beauty absolutely...my stupid blind one...moody track with the touch of the heartfelt woman...

Hope you too are fine...

Danke

Dear Jenny,

Hope you're well and life is treating you kindly.
You will be a mother soon and new inspirations will surely flourish.

I hope you keep up your writing and continue to grace us with snippets of your voice at your convenience.
BTW - This was a good track and in particular the guitar I enjoyed. I am sure there is a full version somewhere among your compositions.

Be kind, stay strong, look to the sun and your shadows shall fall behind. Blessings.

Hi my tallented friends both . guys I wonder to see I had marked this track as fav buT I haven't left any feedback (reallY congrats for my wackY mind !) !so soory for latencY.
well What I heared was designed well & this is third time that your loops usage , Jenny,makes me wonder & find mre respects for your tallents .particualry finding no relevancy to Pinkfloyd (wonder to read that comment) .& I think there was many potentials in this considered & studied psyco atmospher , I'm not sure if does it sound sensual or noT buT beynd anything it had a cinematic flavour ,which made me reallY Like this . & I don't know what are U looking for with that collab request below track , buT If U allow I have some idea for expanding this composition buT I need your premission (I've downloaded it,but won't work on it before knowing your replY). also I can
send U my idea 2 days after your replY..anyway greatest respects & all the best & many thnX for sharing this smarT Idea .(ps : excuse me my friend buT is there any relevancy between U & JJWeeksBand site that I've found ?just think I knew that gentleman with friendlY & kind face & honest & intelligence eyes which was in the center of majoritY of photos,althoughT U know how wackY & even fool I am about knowing the faces in photos -oh gosh ! I'm still ashamed hahaha!).best wishes.___Behnam

Apart from being a bit short this sounded good and was a great effort. It is always difficult putting loops together and getting transitions right is a fine art and sometimes there is a tendency to try and pack to much in, which can detract from the music. you have got the balance about right on this, well done and keep going.
Best wishes,
Mark/Larry!

"I am very curious to hear your suggestions on transitions"

Oh wow, where do I begin? So much to suggest - depends how much you want me to write.

I make music based on a lot of jamming and then editing so not actually composing sections in advance in a traditional compositional sense. So, I end up with loads of transitions that need to be made smoother.

Sometimes I end up playing a new little part to get me from one section to the next but often I use drum fills and effects to smoothe things out.

If the feel in going from one bit to the next is awkward, if you distract the listener by making things extreme and powerful, this can help. So, a massive drum fill at the end of a bar - or maybe adding big reverb. Or delay at the end of the bar that rings out and decays (spills over) into the next. With delay, you'll often want to control the feedback control to make the delay more intense. You can automate that so it doesn't get too out of control.

Scrutinise your samples and see if you can find little parts that you can cut out and then expand further - these can be used for transitions. With my guitar playing takes, I look for little incidental bits I never consciously planned and then chop these bits out to make fun little fills or even loop them as full parts. See the intro to my track Knee Deep In The Cosmic Overwhelm to hear just a small incidental bit of guitar looped up into its own groovy part.

Reusing your material and finding other ways to stretch it out provides real continuity to the piece and sort of glues things together. I'm kind of like a hip hop sample/cutup guy, except the samples are all my own playing (apart from some drum loops I use).

The stop-start things with the drums was OK here if you're going to legnthen the piece and then bring those drums in to be heard without so much stop-start.

I hope some of those suggestions help though it's difficult to advise people when you don't know their software, their level of knowledge of what you're suggesting and so on. Ask if you want me to clarify anything.

dommage que se soi cour mes tres bien realiser domr

Very mysterious, very nice, but a pity that it is too short.

Well I must say that I'm very surprised that in 4 comments no one has mentioned Pink Floyd.

This is very, very reminiscent of their legendary Shine On You Crazy Diamond. It's that classic organ as well as the guitar.

Separately, I think Shine On You Crazy Diamond may be just about the most popular ever song in which it takes nearly 9 minutes (!!!) for the vocals to come in. Check it here:

Your track again: good beat that moves it away from PFloyd and I like the reverse vocals too.

They're all good elements though I think I would preferred a bit less start-stop with the beat. It's also way too short so you should lengthen this and then it will be more enjoyable. It's far out music (my favourite genre) so needs to be longer as this isn't long enough to really get into it and chill.

As for " I have [no] idea how to transition a song from a pad loop over to a different sound without losing the integrity of the song" I have loads of suggestions but will save them for another time.

This is really cool, you put a few nice changes together and it has a new age music feel to me. I love this kind of music, atmospheric, ambient, a little trippy. I agree with sterixx, I wish it were longer, nice job!

tooo Short ^^

Ghosty and chilly sounds, i really like it.

cheers Frank

Hello JJW, fresh air longing for I hear in this. You say not very good, this is great! It appears dark but I've never heard anything lighter. I saw a house with a downhill driveway, sun beating rays burn the floor, a woman walking down the driveway barefoot. She appears to look cold while all around is burning up. Eyes didn't lie. Very interesting piece and good loop usage. Your layering is just right. You should do more when time is available. Thank you for sharing. Peace.

I think it sounds incredible and with the sensual ambiance, it also has a fitting title.
