Description : Every now and then I make a track with a male vocal, where as I usually use female vocals. I think that Know Kontorl's vocal is great and I wish it was a lot longer so that I could have used a lot more of his material.

The track has some Massive Attack influences, but sounds like a love song every now and then too.

Please let me know what you would have done differently or what you like about the track. Open to comments as always!

Best, Doc

    Just had to post one last time this evening before I go to bed.

    I've been playing your track non-stop for the last 3 hours. Brought it into Logic and have been having so much fun playing along with it, adding brass, more strings, lead synths, etc. Everything I try actually detracts from it, instead of adding to it. The more I play the track, the more I realize how beautifully crafted it is. It is gorgeous, like a finely woven tapestry.

    Thanks again Eric for the addition (and please accept my apologies for not having responded any sooner). The fact that you realize there's not a lot to add, makes me think that the track is almost finished. On the other hand, if you feel the urge to play around with it, it indicates to me that something's still missing... Just read your PM and will answer this now.

    Best, Doc

    Doc: OK. This track is far better than I could create, but I am going to offer some very respectful suggestions. I realize that critiques of this type are very rare on Looperman, so I hope this doesn't make me into a a "baddie". I'm doing this because I liked your track very very much and it left me wanting for more.

    So, first of all, I loved the instrumental track. It was, in my view, exceptionally good. It could stand on it own a a really fine piece of music. However, I didn't feel that KnowKontrol's acapellas fit very well in your composition. That's not a criticism of his vocals, which I think are excellent. He knows I feel this way about his stuff. I've used them, and valued them, myself in a recent track. It's just that, to my ears, they didn't really "jell" in your composition. I think the the piece would have been stronger without them, frankly.

    So, I'd urge you to post a version of the same track without the vocals. I'm serious about this. I'd love to have that in my playlist. I'm being a bit selfish in suggesting that because all the time I was listening to it, my mind was playing around with ideas for a melody line. This track has great potential.

    Hope you aren't offended by my comments or suggestions. I wish I'd composed this track. I'd be quite pleased with myself if I had. :)

    Thanks for your comments Eric. I highly appreciate the time and effort you have put in listening to and commenting on the track. Don;t worry about being a baddie :-). I always appreciate feedback, positive as well as negative. This is for me the most important way to learn and get better in doing what i love so much.

    About the vocals, this has been my first track that has received so many opposite views on such a specific part of the track. Some people (like you) would suggest to leave the vocals out, some love them in this context. I am more than happy to share an instrumental version only with through my SoundCloud account. No problem at all.

    And don't worry I don't get offended that easlity anymore nowadays :-).

    I like this track because it is different and the mix sounds really good. I hope that i have the capabilities to mix like that one day.

    Very Nice and Unique Track,
    Robert

    Hi Kyu,

    Many thanks for your great compliments! And sorry for the delay in the answer :-).

    As far as the mixing is concerned, I just try to listen to differences I make in the settings and try to understand why things sound different. With every little improvement, the quality gets just a little bit better. So, babysteps here

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : Many of you know well that Tumbleweed & Orlando collabs are pretty much well established tradition within LM society by now, and here is the newest example to reinforce that tradition. It's probably the last this year (yet never take it for granted) and I think it has (although not particularly intended) a bit of that seasonal celebrative nature, thus fitting quite well into this festive feel of December. Despite providing it's share of melancholic tones (you can bet who is responsible...haha...) it's a quite happy tune overall...and it doesn't bite, so you're all most welcome to listen and comment !... As always my sincere thanks to Ed !

Description : Another track I created quickly after hearing Minor2Go acoustic Guitar loop yesterday 7-19-2018.

Description : The spring is in full motion over here and I guess it helped me quite a bit to complete my part of the job on yet another exciting collab with maestro Tumbleweed. Most of our collab works contain at least some aspect which demonstrates something out of ordinary one or another way. This time we got a peculiar combination of mysticism and merciless attacks of soapiness (my bad....haha)....So let's listen to hear whether I'm right or not!....:) As always on such occasions, all my thanks to Ed !

Description : Hi guys another vocal from me, this time Matthias gave his blessing. It's to his beautiful return track chillout vibe. It's a tribute to my closest here on LM. My voice a few ways including, the balls to do a harmony channel too. There's 30+ shout outs, so listen up, you may here your name. It's community based and some of you play characters. Switch the fucking volume UP, it's a builder. Love the Stokesey and Cyber lines :))) Sorry girls it was a lads love in.

Description : I was inspired by 2 looperman loops created today and came up with this track. Thanks to the following:
