Apocalypse Ft ImproveWithError And TaraToxic - SeriouslyJoking

Well this is something a bit different. The into is kind of ambient or chill out and then it progresses into a slow kind of breakbeat number. Like the swirling pads, the bass and the piano.
The vocals are kind of hypnotic as well.
A mellow number with lots of original ideas.
I enjoyed it.

Hey SJ, this is pretty awesome, definitely the best song I have heard with the pella. I love the vibe that you set with your music. I really enjoyed this one, and thanks for using my vocals.

Hi SJ,
We have a very interesting piece of music here. Kyle has a great voice and I *TOTALLY LOVE* how you "used" it! A bit "off" in some points but it adds a lot of tension. Veeeery good!
The bass: good sound, I like that you chose a pretty aggressive sound for such mellow tune. Again, it helps to build tension.
Good work!
Ciao, Domenico

I have to admit I haven't been keeping up with a lot of people here lately. You've certainly developed some mad production skills SJ. This track is full of wonderful sounds, melodies and effects that you've expertly mixed and mastered. I cant offer much in regards to the vocals other than it seems like Taras timing and pitch sounds spot on to me.
I really dig your style too. Please keep them coming.

Hi S J,

Let the kids keep the speakers! ok there are a few minor points on pitch and tone, but easily sorted. The main thing is you have produced a fabulous track, the piano is gorgeous, vocals fit so well and the whole track just creates such a special atmosphere. A big like from me and thanks for sharing.

Very best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

So I just listened to this FINAL version. I never got a chance to hear the original as you pulled yesterday. I really like this. It's dissonant and atonal in some parts and that sounds awesome to my ears. I think it's perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. the levels of piano are perfect, the synth washes in the beginning and gently spread out throughout the mix are nice. I just had my wife listen as well and she was impressed too. Your developing an ear for the dissonant and in-congruent in music and it's making your musical choice sound more and more sophisticated each song you produce. But in this it's also the less is more approach in the beginning that makes this interesting. well done bravo.

I love Kyle`s clear vocal style....SJ...dont hold back on the piano.I love it..Its one of the most expressive instruments ever & I will never get tired of it..I could sit in the corner with a cool beer and listen to a piano player all night......I wish I could play it properly but I am just self-taught and quite inept....I understand Behnam`s point about pitch...its a little noticible at the intro but the airy nature of the music would only make it recognizable by a skilled musician like Behnam...and its great that we learn from one another here on the Loop...Its also great that we can create and listen to music like this that is a piece of individual art...and real expression...as opposed to the canned stuff our radios play...Good for you..I always enjoy listening to what you come up with and this is no exception....as danke has said....its different...and its special....Keep doing it and if you have too many piano parts over at your place just send them over to me....all the best...Ed

Well , SJ cause I know there's no Islamic republic behond that monitor to arrest me for critque ,I respectfullY think :
1_U man can change scale of your instrumental .I think 1 or 3 or 5 semitones maybe even. this is not false what I'm hearing now ,buT not quite tuned for Kyle & Tara's voice.specially I think Kyle's melody includes some diese and bemol that U haven't considered them.
particulary I really admire this music that I'm hearing , buT music seems some how at a loss what to do for expressing
lyriX .without vocal , that music is very welldone...and I'm talking just about tuning .without vocals that worX perfect.

2_look SJ , have U paid attention to your drums ballance in majority of your musiX ?there's no or maybe just few sounds of cymbals ( crash_hi hat_ride_hi hat pedal )...
http://drumnuts.com/LESSONS/How-To-Read-Drum-Music.php
in fact between various parts of a simple drum set , U usualy select just Bass sounds . & this cause a lack of
hydrostatic equiblibrium ( if we can say ) in your musiX.
U're absolutely superb , and just I'm talking about some details..& U know I'm a fan of your musical style and I reallY wish U don't mind if I tried to be more usefull than leaving a Bravo & go as commenT.
all the best.____B

SJ!

One of the most unique number in this site...with special mood and special harmonies and special attitude...so this is extremely special...and what about those kids? c'mon SJ, who is the boss? :-)
All the best, Danke
