Listen To Willful Ignorance Acid Song By Spivkurl At Looperman.com

My first impression after reading your comment was how sweet it was, and I realized that this may be the result of having had my hands deep in the soil only a moment earlier. Either way, I am still deeply honored by your words, and humbled as well. I too am proud of this work, but I must give credit to those who were derived from in this work, including but not limited to Terence Mckenna. After having experienced the other bomb through massive filtration, your mention of a bomb is respected. Robert Smith knew what he was saying when he wrote, "I don't know what's going on." Thank you for listening my friend!

Hey Steve, thank you very much for your comment on this track! I really can't claim to know much about old school dubstep, I just took a ride on the wave (2012-2013) for a little while and then nearly lost myself in the undertow. Acid though I've been enjoying for quite a long time. I like the acid from the early 90's and the early zero's especially, but I can't help but listen to new stuff when it comes up. Coming from someone who knows their classic electronic music well, your comment pleases me! Appreciate it!

Thanks much friend for your positive comment! Happy you could get a good feeling when listening! That's important! I appreciate it!

Hello friend! Thank you for stopping by to listen and leave a comment! It's made me happy seeing people getting into an acid track. Some vox samples were quite up to date and probably spread all over the net, and some of them were sitting in my collection unnoticed. It all fell together though in the end. I really appreciate the positive vibes! Thanks!

Hey Mark, thanks for stopping in to listen! I guess I'm surprised you haven't heard acid, but then again not as it's not as popular as it used to be, and even then it was usually underground. It's a recent addition to the genres on Looperman too. I was happy that it became the most commented acid track on looperman after two days. Thank you for the support regarding mastering! I've been trying some new things both in mixing and mastering lately, so it's good to hear. The day of posting this track was like the culmination of a several month long emotional roller coaster ride, so I guess that makes sense. I think I'm on the ground and in the straightaway now though, so that's cool. Thank you very much for listening my friend!

Hey buddy, it's good to see you around again! It's nice of you to stop in and listen as well as leave a comment. Looking forward to the album! Was just having fun with samples like I used to. Hope to see you here and on soundcloud. Thanks much!

Message received and understood. Thank you for listening and hearing the underlying content. Hope you're doing well!

Thank you very much for the cool review! I hadn't thought about the song telling a story, but I'm glad you feel that way. I know what you mean about listening closely to mixes. I think that can really help one learn to express what they want through their mixes. I really appreciate you listening! Hope you are well!

Hey buddy, thanks for the kind review! I know you're always up for some out of the ordinary listening, and I appreciate you coming back for more. The different vocals were stretched and manipulated into submission, hence the drunken vibe... oh and all the liquor in the last couple weeks probably played a part. It's kind of like I was trying to do something along the lines of what I did long ago, except with modern software. Kind of worked out. Thanks for taking a walk on the acid side!

Thank you friend for leaving a nice comment, even though the song isn't up your alley so to speak. Was really just trying some different things, and I liked what it turned out as, so I shared it. Glad some people are enjoying it at least. Happy that you liked the bass, that's definitely important in an acid song. I appreciate you listening!

Hey thanks friend for taking a listen! I'm not sure if I'll be doing a new mix of this or not. I've been kind of focused on inducing a spontaneous vibe into my songs, and remixing can destroy that vibe, so it's a tough call. I appreciate the comment!

Hey friend, that means a lot to me, especially since you make just amazing electronic music! Makes me happy that it enhanced your moment even a little! Thank you so much for listening and leaving a positive comment!

Thank you for taking a listen and leaving a nice comment! In a way it's new for me too, but also returning to my roots. Appreciate the review!

Hey buddy, thank you for listening and leaving a supportive comment! Hope you are doing well!

Hello Mosaic, thank you for listening! It is much different from what I've been doing lately, I think it's more along the lines of what I used to try to do, but didn't have the experience yet. Glad you enjoy the vibes, that's sort of what acid is about to me. Vocals were a fun thing to discover, and definitely were the main influence in this song. I'm interested to hear how this interacts with a surround system, as I really have no way to test that. Thanks for faving and DL'ing, I'm honored! Take care!

Hello friend, and thank you so much for the great comment and the fave! It was a really good experience making this song, and it had some healing effects on me. Hoping that flows into others who listen to it. Basement Jaxx is something I've only barely listened to, but I take it as a compliment. The word laboratory keeps coming up in my life these last few days, it's kind of strange. Maybe it's from working in a lab for so many years or something. The vocal clips were like found objects for me, and I like that sort of thing. They expressed what I intended pretty well. Thanks much for listening and leaving your words!

Thank you kindly! At first when I saw your comment arrive, I was thinking it was Bool, but no it's Boon. Pleased to meet you!

Now that is a nice thing to say! I have to admit that *usually* most of my time and thought goes into a well crafted low and low mid range, on each instrument, the mix, and the mastering. The growly sound would probably be due to Ohmicide, which I tuned in how I like it to max out, and then controlled the wet/dry mix to the inverse of some drums... at least I think that's what happened. I was smokin somethin most of the time too, and you can hear it a little. Glad you enjoyed listening! Thank you for contacting me!

If you're asking if I'm alright, you can set you're mind at ease. Thank you for stopping in to listen! I know what you mean about the 303, but after recent experiments I really feel more free when using other sound sources for acid bass. Don't get me wrong, I love the 303, but it is definitely a little played out as far as tone and sequencing goes. This bass was created primarily with a sample I got probably 10 or more years ago, the basic FL studio sampler, and a multiband distortion plugin. Glad you enjoyed the vocal parts too, was fun to find the right phrases to use. I'm kind of into stuff that sounds really cool and different when your high in multiple ways, so I get what you mean. I can think of better ways to spend $5, and worse too I suppose... Thank you for leaving a great comment, I know you know your acid!

It's an interesting take on this track that you've showed me, so thank you for that. Really, the sounds aren't chip, the main ones are vintage mostly, analog and phase distortion, but I understand why you would think that. I wasn't going for a dubstep bass sound, but it may have seeped in since I did a lot of that in the last couple years. The drop before the breakdown was a little dubstep influenced though. Didn't really think of this as calm, but I think I was using it as a sort of meditation, so that makes sense too. Thanks again! I don't *usually* take outside links from Looperman, but since you made me look at things differently, I'll give it a chance.

Thank you for listening and taking time to leave a supportive comment! Good to hear from you again. Hope all is well!

A comment like this, especially when written by an artist I completely respect, is a wonderful thing to read, so thank you! The "working attitude" you mention here, I must admit, was taken with a different approach this time. Tensions were running high, and I kept busy, bouncing between more mundane daily activities and sequencing/mixing. Short sessions, each with a different approach. Seems to have worked, but I think some people are repelled by that sort of thing. To say that I'm one of the best is very kind, I couldn't admit to that until actually experiencing how other people do their thing. You've made a significant positive impact on my week. Thank you!

Thanks Steve for commenting on another of my tracks, I appreciate it! Makes me happy when someone comes back for a second helping of a track. The bass and stuff wasn't really intended to be this complex, but I got to experimenting with some techniques I don't use much and they really worked with the sample I was using. Hope you're doing good!

Thanks friend for taking a few minutes to listen and leave a comment! Acid is definitely an acquired taste, but I was raised on it... and I don't really mean the music genre././. heh... But really I've been listening to acid house and acid techno for quite a while now, and I used to try to make it on Rebirth and MED Soundstudio back in the day. Loving the challenge of creating old school sounding acid lines with new software and samples of vintage gear too, and also trying to update it a little, such as in this song where I bring in some glitch elements to the bass. Yeah, the breakdown part around 1:51 I like too. it wasn't how it was intended though as I completely revamped it before releasing the song- it wasn't breakdownish enough. The vocal parts are definitely the important parts, found some samples I didn't even know I had, and they fit in with the ones I ripped from a vegan brainwashing speech. I appreciate your comment and support!

Hey friend! No, I don't intend to stop expressing myself any time soon, thank you for noticing! I'm please with the synth bass, never have I gotten such a believable acid sound from just a synth hit sample. Kind of addicted to acid bass again lately. I really appreciate the fave and DL! Hope you are well!

Hello my friend, and thank you for your insightful review. (as they always are) I see where you are coming from in regards to changes in the beat, and in this case I was focusing on minimalism and subtle changes, and not so much complexity and fills as in my usual tracks. The early parts are more syncopated broken beat sort of work. Things get more quantized and repetitive later in the track, and I think I possibly used the high hat pattern to often. I have played drums a bit, when my friend loaned me his kit for a few months quite a while ago. Mostly wanted it to sample a real kit, not so much to get good at playing. I have been trying to induce a little swing or groove by playing parts in with my MIDI controller and not quantizing them, and it helps a little. I was going to put this under "house," but then remembered that there's an acid genre here now. I pretty much suck at house, but I can make some pretty authentic sounding acid synths so it made sense. Here's a wiki link about "acid house" if you wanted to learn more about the history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_house Hope you are doing alright! I return your smile, and wonder all night about the wink... is it an all knowing wink regarding this song or just a friendly gesture? Who knows. Thank you for listening!

I really appreciate your positive reaction! Haven't heard that assault track in a while... Nice to get a fave from you though! I'm still unsure if I will develop this any further or not, as I was kind of going for the minimal side of things. Thank you for listening my friend!

Thank you very much for the comment and for sharing your opinions! I see where you are coming from about elements not fitting with the beat. I guess this song ended up being more about emotion and brainwashing than anything else. I appreciate you listening!
