Description : This track is the first two sections of what will (hopefully) be a three-part piece essentially a suite. I am posting parts 1 and 2 because I think they are ready for feedback from Looperman members. Part 3 isnt done yet because it requires Human League style vocals from a singer with a distinct British accent. I have the melody and lyrics worked out. I sent a private message a while ago to a Looperman member who I think has the right voice for the job. But, havent had a response. Until I find a vocalist for it, I cant finish the piece. In any case, the total file size of the complete piece would be greater than the Looperman limit, so it will have to be split into parts anyway.
Parts 1 and 2, in fact the whole thing, were inspired by acapellas posted here on Looperman by Jacques Demers:
If you havent checked out Jacques tracks yet, you really should. He doesnt set them up as featured so it might be easy to miss them.
The harmony in Jacques acapellas sounded very Beatle-ish to me, and that made me want to try my hand at doing a George Martin style treatment. I remembered that ScottsCovers here on Looperman had mentioned an instrument called a Mellotron, which was used by the Beatles, the Moody Blues, Genesis, along with other groups of that era, so I decided to use a VST mellotron as the primary instrument for Parts 1 and 2.
The acapella in Part 2 was in a different key than the one used for Part 1, so I needed to find a chord progression in Part 1 that would modulate the key. Jacques gave me some advice on that, which you can see in the comments on his first acapella.
Part 1 has harp, mellotron flutes, clarinet, french horns, and my attempt at a Penny Lane type trumpet solo (but much simpler). Part 2 has a string ensemble, solo oboe and trumpet in unison, and some Daniel Langois type processed guitars. Both parts were recorded at 60 bpm, largely because thats where the acapellas seemed to sync best. However, I played the instrument tracks freestyle (rubato), so the tempo actually varies somewhat. Definitely not quantized!
There is a storyline behind this track. Part 1 is the blooming stage of a relationship. Part 2 is about the relationship in decline. Part 3, with vocals, will be about ending it.
Ive included the transition to Part 3 (which will be a more traditional synth pop section) and just a bit of the first verse backing instrumental so you can get an idea of how things are headed in the final part.

____________________
This songs is like a normal day in my life... as my brain point of view. The first part is the morning with strings, horns, clarinette and flute. It's a joyful and beautiful day ! Then, there's a sort of "bridge" between the morning part and the afternoon. Afternoon is awesome and chaotic at the same time, that's why I added dubstep in the middle of the song. Finally,the evening and the night are the second bridge and the end of this piece.
It's the first song I mix Orchestral and Dubstep.
Whole s music maker Jam with Movie Score 1/2/3 and Dubstep (i think it's Vol.2) loops.
Mix = Music Maker (Soundtrack Edition)
Final details = Music Studio
It's a Raw Mix because I really like this song and I want to make a better version ONLY with Music Maker Jam (without mix or whatever, execept for the sound quality).
Feel free to comment :)
Description : I created this track for the love I have for puppies. I love them. Everybody does. This day I went to this park nearby my colony and saw couple of them and thought of making something musically. So this is what i came up with. This time I haven't played much with FX or Technical aspects. Just pure simple & soft melodies. As it is unmixed & unfinished track, request you to boost the volume a little. Hope you all like it! Cheers! :)

Description : So, Ive been working on a new track. After my last song The Moments That Take Your Breath Away, I was filled with a sense of overwhelming pressure to live up to, and even exceed the expectations I held myself to. This led to a pretty bad creative block Im slowly but surely working myself out of. That is what this song is going to be about: me coming to terms with my own expectations and breaking free from my creative block.
The song itself is still very rough. I used an orchestral soundfont (big thanks to @GregVincey for pointing me in that direction) for the intro to give it an epic feel. For the most part, its going to be cinematic, telling a story. I imagine it dropping into experimental future bass; something different. Ill also be looking forward to having a singer with a strong voice to really nail the intensity and emotion, but Id rather finish the track first before going down that route.
Im looking forward to some constructive criticism.
*Please note: This is only a preview of the song, because its really not done yet. Ive had many variations of how this song should be like, but none I was particularly proud of. Theres more info in the description about the meaning behind the track and info on the track itself*
Description : A song I made today.
I was going for a eerie feeling.
Could be a horror movie track maybe.

Thanks for your listening ....
Description : This is an orchestral pop piece. I composed the notes in Noteflight and then imported the resulting MIDI into Mixcraft 6, where I assigned instruments and inserted percussion loops. Thank you to Glitchwall for Peppy Drums at 100 Bpm, Sinthetic Records for Acoustic Drumfill 1, MrTOfficial for Pop Them Drums, EpicRecord for Drum Kit - Relaxed Variation 6 Snare, rasputin1963 for Whirlwind Rise for Dance Breaks, and yappy for Stick Together 100Bpm Drum. I am just starting and I'm really interested in learning more, hopefully from you! About that collab request: if you would like to yank the MIDI files and play around with this, I'd be happy to upload them to Mediafire and send them to you. I can even give you sheet music, if that helps you out.
Your tits are good!
Matt, I assume that's you doing the singing on this track? Sounds really good. I like the simplicity and your (usual) excellent orchestration. You get much better results that I do with orchestral arrangements. It can't just be that you have better sounding VSI's that I do. That being said, this is one track where I wish you'd uploaded the acappella because I might be inclined to try an entirely different backing track for the vocals. Not sure what, exactly, but there's a mellotron in there someplace I think! :)
very good
Hi Maffin.. Masterpiece.. And really good singing voice.
10/10
rock on
Peter
well....you should to be happy with this one Maff....a bit short & sweet...but its got the goods intended I think...We dont all have the same taste in music just as we all dont like the same kind of art...but I liked this one...piano and strings always get my ears pleasantly perked..dm good singer too...good job...Keep doing it your way......Ed
This sounds so great, vocals are like perfect ;) Thanks for sharing this with us its and outstanding track and I enjoyed it thoroughly ;)
This is Beautiful.
Hello ....
There would probably a thousand things to write here, but what I remember mostly is what you have done. This is quite awesome.
There are all the ingredients for a good track .... and I know whereof I speak.
You may redo it again, but keep the frame of this musical history, It's important .... This is just my humble opinion of course .... Good luck.
Dan
Huge fan of orchestra
loved the quality and sounds used
very nice loved it aye :D
" it's the obvious thing to do in a way...but it doesn't do it justice and makes a good thing dull."
Well, I'm glad we agree. I took a slight risk of offence writing that as you might have absolutely loved this version.
If I were a record company boss I'd probably say go with the MOR version.
Damn, just realised you've reverted back to the original so I can't comment on the longer one.
Anyway, the record company would say do the longer MOR version, make a video, have some hot women fawning over your suited lead singer, people get their lighters out and sway and all that.
But, you've got an opportunity to do something unexpected with this. Just through you choice of music over those same vocals.
First off: make the longer version groove a lot more. You'll probably do some sort of electro pop funk though I'd prefer to see a bit of edge. Make it slightly rougher and darker and edgier and it could stand out as something quite different.
I think the 2 min version sort of does everything you need for its vibe and then the other 3.5 mins didn't add anything, just sort of plodded along.
Give the extended version some real balls and people will probably enjoy the surprise.
I look forward to hearing what you choose.
Wow, this makes my feelings feel stuff. What a lovely track here, I very much enjoyed it.
briallant! love that vocal, loved this
Really didn't understand your previous reply of "Thanks. I think we had the same idea...ish...let me know :)"
Now I get it - there's a full version. But I don't think we did have the same idea!
1:52 drum fill definitely isn't right. It comes in too early, before that vocal and mood has decayed.
So, this continuation continues (when the drums enter)in the most obvious and natural way. With my eclectic sort of tastes, I was sort of hoping for something slightly more unusual.
It's all pleasant but maybe, with those drums, a bit light and middle of the road. They're not really making the track kick or groove. Might be better without them, as in first 2 mins.
I was hoping they'd come in and really make the whole thing take off with some deep grooves. Strange that it overall feels like quite a short track. I'm still trying to work out why as 5:46 is a pretty decent length.
So, overall, and other people may shoot me down for saying this, I preferred the 2 min version. But don't worry too much about my opinion and preferences as lots of other people will love this.
You never did say who the vocalist is.
Very nice, Maff! Love it, as is, but if you want a critique, maybe boost the overall volume and possible a bit less reverb on the vocals, but that's just me.
Good job!
Cheers,
Scott
Yea. love this track. All the music is great. I really like the way there are spaces between vocal phrases to let the listener process. And the second section with bass really sits well.
I think you could give it more presence in the mix, maybe a shade brighter, vocs up a little in the first section.
(Still I'm an old guy and my ears may not be quite up there so take my suggestions with a pinch of salt :) )
Great work
Bob
Yeah this is tight.
I tend to like it as it is.
Its beautiful musically, great words and wonderful meaning.
But I'm also curious as to what else you might have in store.
Vocals sound very close to Sonny Sandoval, lead singer to P.O.D. and one of my favorite bands on the face.
Wow, this is brilliant. Where the hell are those vocals from? Surely that must be some sort of 'name' singer?
This truly sounds like it could/should be a big hit. Boybands, crooners and all sorts of other people would love to sing it.
You may have gathered by now that I tend to like long (or very long) deep stuff. But I actually think this works fine at this really rather short length.
But it does promise so much more so perhaps you could do two versions?
If I were making it, my longer version might even kick straight into metal, just after the vocal has finished. I challenge you to do a longer version that is a surprise and maybe just keep the shorter version drumless and with the same vibe you have here.
Piano sounds great right from the off and I just had the feeling that everything else would be great too. I quite like how the strings and piano don't start at exactly the same time.
More to say but that will do for now.
Excellent work, no criticism at all.
Can't wait to hear the second part. Great vocal sound and skills. SMooth overall sound. PEACE THE MACK MAN OUT.
Nice and mellow. Solid vocal!
Great Track! all performances spot on. I thought the strings needed a bit more separation from the vocs, maybe stereo expansion and a bit less middle
Interested to hear how the song develops after 1:48
Bob
Yeah, those 2 colleagues are right...this is fantastic, specially the vocs...I have to say, that's incredible voice...don't know, if it's yours or this is from somewhere else but who cares, you are lucky...:-)
Full song in it's state for me...
Standing ovation, Danke
I think this is one of the best tunes and songs I have heard on this site. A fantastic job. It is perfect as it stands or you could take it anywhere you wanted.
Now excuse me while I go listen to your other tracks.
Man, this sound is on point! Good job!
