Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!
Description : Just some fun instrumental sliding in open G, GDG, on The Lone Rider fretless 3 string guitar. Rythym played using a ceramic slide by Evolution stoneware, lead using a Mojoboneworks bone/wood slide, both handcrafted as well as the guitar. Been a while, good to be back B-)
Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.
Enjoy and download away.

Try and stay dry in that cave, but be careful, you never know what lurks in the darkness behind!! Very pink floyd like,. Enjoy.
Description : Been away for a while. I am doing something I usually don't do with this one. Here is a blues track I put together in a day. It features everything being done by me, with improvised solos for each instrument. This was done using Fl Studio 12 and my Korg M50 keyboard. I plan on adding lyrics to it down the road and having everything much cleaner. Anyhow, enjoy!

Description : Cosmic Eastern chillout atmospheric shuffle blues with loads of bluesy/Eastern electric guitar playing and warm sub bass (the same synth patch I've used in about 20 tracks). No drum loops and just two programmed acoustic kits - probably the simplest drum setup I've ever used. One day I hope to make a track containing only one drum kit. Also: a few female vocal samples (including a heavily timestretched one), one section of bass guitar, a few sample-based string instruments, a few notes of organ and two synth pad instruments. So, quite a minimal instrument lineup for me. It goes uptempo around 4:31 into a grooving, stomping bit of shuffle blues and I wonder if I should have brought this section back at the end for a triumphant finale. But I'm trying hard these days not to make things too long and this is already a decent length. Also contains some darker, Eastern sections but nothing too dark. Have a listen and leave me some interesting feedback - the more detail, the better.

hi, many thanks for your replies and putting a link to this one: I've listened many times to this. And also I did some piece that somehow is based on yours but I think it's completely different... Anyway what I like the most here is the bassline and the first part (0:20 - 0:39). Very interesting and groovy playing but secial... I like also intro and the vintage synths you're using in introduction.
Very interesting guitar soloing - lots of little motifs played but very expressive - you have some really specific and unique sound and style.
I am courious also about the structure of this composition, I mean there's no really versus/chorus or something. To me it feels more like intro/part 0:20 - 0:39 that could be also the 'highlight' chorus/ dark guitar solo/brighter, upper register guitar solo from 1:57/suspended ending.
Nice work with finding a kind of a resonance of the sitar over guitar (2:45, 2:47 and so on). That sounds uniqe. I think I can hear it even better on your other tracks...
I will listen also to the full version of this if it's available...

Man, these instrumentals you upload sound great, It's a good thing you go through each track the way that you do. I like that all the tracks listed play together kind of like a movies OST. Dedicated thoughts fitting in many things that go on, strange but very nice!! I enjoy the trips more these days, your style has grown onto the listener and I appreciate to hear what you create. For this track in particular, has something slightly different, maybe that spaced string that appears in the beginning. The guitars this time are something special, random acts of kindness, I see some nice things, never noticed before. Thanks for the open eyes and settled mind. Still wondering about that album release. I would like to listen to this offline as well. Thanks for letting us hear it here. How are you?
Hey buddy! This is a sweet song so far, and I'm really enjoying listening! I am in love with the guitar tone you achieve, and you played it so expressively, it's molten! When it becomes a duet with the sitar, it gets even more amazing! Very cool calm rhythm throughout, which does leave me wanting more. I would go more in depth, but I realize this isn't finished, and I need to do some gardening badly. Very creative song! Love it! Fave!
i enjoy your music a lot. you create a beautiful atmosphere and your solo work is very expressive. you sustain the mood and maintain interest with all sorts of refining touches. best of luck with your production work. Dan
I would rather stick with this as a short track but I know you will add in a whole lot of other stuff that is enjoyable to listen to. I always am impressed by how you layer everything heavily and there is so much going on but at the same time there seems to be room left for other stuff to come in. That's with almost all of your tracks if not all.
Thanks for sharing and it was a pleasure to listen
Static, what's a happnin', man?
I've listened to this one about 4 times now. I'm not going to give a very detailed technical review. It's been a long day and my brain is kind of done working. But, I still felt compelled to comment on it. So, I'll give it what I've got.
I like what you have here. The guitar in this has that sweet, dusty blues sound. I've always liked that. For a rhythm based guy, you did a great job on the lead solos. They're very smokey, rich and smooth. Like a filter-less Camel. Heh.
The bass line has good and strong presence without crowding everything else, and it does a great job at keeping things moving.
The strings are a nice incorporation. They class up the joint a little bit. Combined with the automated pads, it has a real pleasant, spacey Planet Caravan thing going on. Not to take away from any of your creativity or originality by any means. That's just what comes to mind when I listen.
If I were in a position in life where I could still fire up the ol' bongzilla, I would definitely put this track on my "fire it up" list.
I'm looking forward to hearing where you've gone with it. A rocking, double-kick laden, epic crescendo I assume!
Can't wait, man.
If I think of any detailed what-nots to add, I'll leave another review. But for now, the obligatory, ever popular "Sick track, Bro!"
Take care.
Aaron
Really nice blend of sounds mate, that guitar sounds great! :) Kinda sounds like a modern day pink floyd track, or at least has that vintage vibe.
Can't wait to hear the 11 minute version! :)
The last review was a more free form listen to the music review then the usual technical by the minute review. I do like the piece and wish to hear the expansion. When I do listen to your work, there sometimes is so much going on technically and musically it is hard to capture my thoughts all in one review.
Steve.
Your in a league of your own man!
Blissed,trippy and as smooth as silk.!
Your musical ability inspires,as there's nothing more moving than real playing ability.!
Beautiful guitar playing,man you make them guitars sound priceless.!
Superb and always fresh and unique and another great Track to add to your ever expanding productions.!
very nice!

Liked it - still hear Ry Cooder and Filmore West. Guitar is solid. I think those are strings in the intro and they are very effective. Good vibes throughout liked the transition at 2:45.

Intro reminds me of a Yamaha DX7. I like the spaciousness of the synths and strings over the bass. Trippy tune. Guitar coming in is rippin. The quite at 1:22, then rippin guitar again. Ballsy Blues playing with quite a bit of emotion. I like that in this tune. I find myself getting lost in the music and not thinking about the theory so much. Sweet tune you have made. Great chord changes. thumbs up if I were a sentient being with opposable thumbs...oh wait I am.. so thumbs up. Glasses raised, one hand slapping the other in a rhythmic motion creating a sound.
pretty cool mate are you playing these instruments?
Well the intro is bloody terrible, the middle bit sucks and i can't even be bothered to listen to the end.
Just kidding. I've only just hit play and as usual i'm feeling your rhythms and melodies. It has kind of a tangerine dream vibe about it. very deep, very mellow and a good groove.
It makes me think i really must spend more time sorting out my tunes before i post them.
Cheers for sharing Mr. Nomad.

Hi MrNomad,
This was really a surprise! A new song below 4 minutes!
Can't really believe it... and in fact this is only a "teaser". So it's better :-)
A couple of words on what we have here: the intro is great, like these initial bass notes, almost "rough" then at 1:22 the high bass-notes are a bit "dissonant" which brings some "uneasyness" to the song, soon confirmed by the deep synth notes, which make the section darker. Liked.
And then you start your guitar solo, nice sound: in some points a bit "nasal" but always very bluesy (a "cold" type of blues, almost Gilmourish in some passages).
The sitar notes are a nice touch: subtle and gentle, they don't try to push the song somewhere else but they rather accompany your guitar as good friends. Liked it.
What I didn't like: the ending. But of course, I'll wait for the complete version ;-)
Ciao, Domenico
this is pretty amazing ,.smooth production
there is a lot of blues soundings i agree but listening through the whole track makes me want to call it weird rather than blues (i mean in good way). great solo! ;)

I really like this track! We always love to feature new artists. Please contact me once you are ready to release your music and we will feature you on one of our shows. back2usradio.libsyn.com
This would be an awesome title for a song if the album were called "predictable acts of human suffering"
Nice long slow intro to reel you in like a fisherman catching his (sea)bass. Slow loping shuffle beat with a lazy-eye bass line. Guitars are zipper-like efficient with there scraping quality countering the high bass-line. 1:57 in and finally a sense of melody, but a slow drooping bluesy ballsy melody line. Chord structure pleasantly sounding from 2:45 on with the mix of the bass line and the melodic guitar with the slight whisper of a pad underneath. It continues to build in intricate structure with those three elements I just described until it sadly ends. I could see you taking this one places as this is an awesome intro and it seems to be going somewhere interesting musically (that's the dream isn't it?) So good job..keep on it. move ahead try to detect it, it's not too late ...to whip it...whip it good...sorry got lost in something devoish there.
Excellent taster...can't wait to hear the whole thing!:)
Cheers_____Orlando
This is a very good piece of work. I love this. The length is fine, you don't need to extend this any further. You'll find that it much appreciated with the length it is at the moment.
Well done.
Any chance of this becoming downloadable in the near future?
What could I say this exceptional work?
I felt the presence of Indian elements, and when mixed with the relaxing sound of the drums, everything is so lovely.
surely a perfect soundtrack for some time in India.
the job with the bass lines are awesome, I think are the exctase of this song,when the guitar comes in, it gets even better!!
You worked very well the progression of the elements.
instruments comes from light going into music,is a fantastic journey, feeling able to generate thousands of thoughts.
you knew how to use the instruments very well in this piece, the end of it is exciting,
and as I already expected it would be a great song.
9,12 Mb of pure beauty.
almost at the limit
with all respect__Anubis
Hi. I think the length of this melody is not fine.
I've felt at the end of the melody that that was only the beginning and I won't tell you how many times I've listen to your song before coming now on-line to Looperman...maybe you could say I'm a fan of your music...cause, I guess that's what a fan does..put on repeat what he or she likes (for sure that's what I've done today).
I wait, patient, for the whole song to be upload here..and maybe it will be available for download... :) regards
You`ve got a good one going here Static....I do like the length...it maintains that late night in the city blues vibe (if thats the right description) all the way with the lead guitar weaving those cool melody bits...very nice job on the guitar too by the way...would be a cool accompaniment for a video but its dam good listening music just as it is....enjoyed this one.....Ed
Kinda trippy and laid back blues. Lots of effects. The first few seconds of the intro reminds me of a Godfathers intro on one of there tracks but I can't think of which one off hand. What make of bass and electric guitar do you use?
To me some of the best guitar solos are ones that feel the music and play to the groove. An old timer musician once said to me "play the music". He didn't mean just play your part, he meant play along side the music, feel it out and add to it rather than over play and showcase your talents on every part you play. I think you did that here and most of the time for that matter.
I like it, shorter always works for me but in this case I am looking forward to hearing more. Like the splashes of the resonator guitar, damn that's such a cool sound.
Wayne
Static!man!!nice blend of sounds dude.def diggn the guitar play !!!
Love what you have so far.....guitar riffs with the bass guitar in the back ground sounds perfect. And yes this is probably the perfect length for me but I know it's not your style. Looking forward to hear the rest when you finish it. Definite fav for now.
best electric guitar solo ever man this is hard as hell. Deff fav!
