Psychogenic Sammich - Spivkurl

Hey my friend, it is always a pleasure to hear from you! I'm not completely sure, but I get the feeling that you quickly became my biggest fan... though it could be just that you get involved more here on Looperman. The only people I know for sure have heard my latest all the way through are my wife and my parent. If you're listening to my stuff regularly, then you chose a good time to get on board though, as 2013 to present is definitely my best work. Psychogenic Sammich was a real departure for me, and I'm really happy with how it turned, so it is good to get positive feedback from you. You made me go back and listen to "GoneJah" just now for reference. I can't take full credit for the rail station recording, but as the only profession I have is theft and insanity, I won't give credit. I was happy with how that one turned out well, though it easily could have become a set of loops uploaded on the site. Just when I got to finishing the album, I realized it was close enough to finished to be included. Thus it became part of the second trilogy on the album. I'm assuming when you speak of the vocals being "decadent," I assume you mean the album as a whole, as "GoneJah" had no vocals... I would definitely plead guilty to that. 2014 and my life as a whole has been thoroughly decadent, and I am proud of it. Though on a regular basis, I deprive myself of things, and I'm proud of that as well. Thank you so much for your positive words and support!

Thank you very much RPS! I have to agree, it's some of my best instrumental work. I'm really happy with how the mix turned out on this one as well. Sounds so much better in wav quality on a decent stereo. Really appreciate you stopping by to listen my friend!

Hey friend, thank you very much for the inspiring to read comment! I'm pretty happy with this work, and it's definitely one of the more creative tracks on this album. The piano parts are played my me and improvisational... I was finally able to get a piano earlier this year thanks to my wife, she works at a hotel and they got a new piano, so we just had to pay to transport it. These are the first recordings of it that I used in a song. It's before I started getting it tuned up and stuff, but I think it has a really nice character to the sound. Your compliments on my bass lines are nice to hear, as bass is one of my favorite things to design. I think on my good stereo that this is one of the best sounding tracks I've made, especially the stereo field, it just comes out at you like it's flowing from the speakers. It was all just a freeform composition which turned out nicely, so I'm happy that you feel a connection with it. I have rearranged my main studio room so that I can more easily incorporate live recordings, so hopefully I'll be putting out more things that are in your listening preferences. Thank you for the comment!

Hey, thanks for swinging by to comment on this song! I am just a beginner at piano, especially recording it, so yes, there isn't too much in here. Playing keyboards and organs helps a bit, and knowing some theory, but it's mostly a new beast. I don't know if I'll ever do a strictly piano song, but who knows?! I appreciate the feedback and support! I will be returning your message soon!

I really appreciate your positive comment, and your support! Makes me happy to read your words! Hope all is well!

Thanks much for your supportive comment! It should definitely sound trippy, for some reason. Glad you heard fusion there too. We'll make a multilayered sammich together soon I'm sure! I appreciate you stopping in!

I appreciate your very kind opinions on this song especially on the mixing side of things! Been trying many new things lately. This is the first song which has recordings from my recently acquired piano. I have new monitors now, better midi controller, direct box, learning my newer audio interface more fully as well. It's definitely more fusion than the songs I used to release as fusion, so I'm happy about that. Thanks for always stopping by!

Thanks much for the supportive review my friend!

Thanks for your continued support! I appreciate your opinions! Hope all is well!

Hey friend, thanks very much for stopping in! I will be back on the vocals soon, just felt like taking it easy for a couple days. Used to love playing Doom, so that's cool! Our house is a little haunted, so maybe that's what you're hearing in there? Glad you're having some fun with those sounds I made. Just sounded like fun to distribute sounds from some of the gear I built. I appreciate the listen and comment!

I am humbled by your review... thoroughly! You help me feel like I'm reaching my goals both as a musician and as a person, so thank you! Good to hear from you again!

Interesting! I never really thought of it that way, but I guess you're right. Cinematic is definitely not my usual preference for listening or writing, so I guess I really never made a song like this. Thank you very much for listening and leaving your comment!

Thank you my friend! It's good to see that you are still part of the community! Appreciate the review!

Thanks for stopping in to listen! I wasn't really thinking industrial when making this, I guess it must be the basses and the half time beats or something. That piano riff around 1:20 turned out nice, it's my favourite part of the song for sure. I was surprised how dark C# major could be. I appreciate the review!
