Listen To Afterglow Chill Out Song By DrvanLansberg At Looperman.com

Description : When I started producing about 3 years ago, I was sure I would need a master keyboard to play everything I needed in my tracks. But as thing happen, I never hooked it up and just used my DAW and mouse to create the tunes. In a "crazy" mood last week, I did hook up the master keyboard and something like a solo came up. I recorded it, put some chords and drums around it and a new track was born.

Thanks for listening!

Best, Doc

hi, really good chill vibes, kind of tribal and funky. Nice production. I like the drumming. Very laidback background warm e piano chords. I preffer it to the solo lines and wet funky synths even. But still it is so good and really relaxing although there's nothing really happening in your song! nice use of ferryterry's sax. I used this sample in one of my song: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160429 I create songs that could be labeled mostly as being a kind of a jazz/chillout genre as well so you might check out others of mine if only you will have just some a little time and simply want to. I use lots of jazz loops like this but mostly my music is improvised.
Anyway great chillout track here and very nice keyboard playing - I like it a lot! Alex

Hi Alex!

Thanks for your review man. Nice to see you liked the drums and chords. To be honest, I would love to make a track just like that, drums, bass and rhodes, nothing more, for about 10 minutes. But I am sure that would ask a lot from the imagination of the listeners :-). Most of the times, when I am working on a new track, I will just play 8-16 of it in a loop and listen to it for two hours. And somehow it never bores me. Also gives me a the opportunity to really feel what's going on. After that, finishing the track is childs play.

I agree that nothing really is happening in the track. That gave me the idea for the title :-).

I will have a listen to some of your tracks now.

Thanks for listening and glad you liked it.

I like this! The drums have a hip hop flavor on it then it leads into those beautiful atmospheric sounds which takes me to another planet. Great work and thanks for the wonderful journey!

Thanks for your feedback Modnex. I got that comment on the hiphop vibe from others too. Must be the crackle in that kick and that one snare.

Also thanks for listening. Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice track solid bounce, improve huuuum not much needed here...
Well maybe a well placed guitar, down on the bottom dancing along
with the Bass or keys at times...
Be fun to try something, just a complimenting syncopation...

All in all top shelf track...

Peace...TG.

Thanks TG for your comment and please accept my apologies for not replying earlier.

Thanks for the tip on the guitar. I had actually thought of the same while producing the track. The issue is that I was not able to find one that perfectly fitted (to my taste that is). Actually, don't know if you play the guitar, but you would be most welcome to try something. Let me know if you're interested in doing so.

Anyway, thanks for your great compliment!

Very smooth!
I fell into this one fast...one of those ones that doesn't have to end...a very comfortable groove that just holds ya.
Very nice musically.
You ask about things you could do to make this better and i can't really think of much. I was thinkin maybe a bit of 'air' in the mastering to seperate things a bit but the more I listen to it it doesn't even really need that.
First track of yours I've heard here and an Easy Fave
KUDOS

Peace

Thanks a lot for your review BT! I am 3 months late with my reply, and I am sorry for that.

The groove is indeed what I liked best about this track myself. I was lucky I found the right kicks and snares I guess. I do agree on your comment on the mix. Actually, I had not listened to the mp3 export before, just uploaded it. It does take away just a little bit of the crispness. But I think it is the bass that makes it just a bit too full and gelly. Well observed! I'll see if I can eq it enough to make some more room.

Thanks for faving the track. Much appreciated.

Well done on this one Doc! There is a cool, funky, smooth, acid jazz feel to this. I am a big fan of percussion, the bongos are a nice touch. The sax sample was a great addition. Liked the keys, I can hear a few different ones, all classic sounds. I think the mix sounds great but I'm only on my second cup of coffee. ;)

Can't really find anything to suggest or find wrong with the track, sounds like a keeper to me. Great job Doc!

Thanks for listening Wayne! You have a great ear. I indeed used two different Rhodes for the chords and the solo. Chords are more spread for atmo and the solo is more centered with tremolo. Well spot!

Let me know if you hear some room for improvement pon the mix after you 10th cup of coffee :-). Always willing to learn.

Cheers, Doc

Hello Doc!

This is stunning...jazzy, atmospherical, feelgood chill out with huge play on the piano...the sax solo is outstanding as usual from the 'ferryterry group' :-)
Your mix is more than excellent, this is top production in every level...Wanted to suggest some guitars into it but after the 3rd listen, I had review my idea...there is no place for that instrument...
Magical 5.33
Hats off, respect, Danke

Well, that's just too much honor Danke! :-)

If the ferryterry group would set up a fan club, I'd be their first member for sure. Always great quality samples and recording. Very easy to work with and it makes my life simple.

Funny, I also played with the idea of adding guitars, but came to the same conclusion. I did however send the track to a singer friend of mine and asked for her contribution. I think the track still has room enough for vocals, or room is easilly created.

Thanks for listening and your support!

Cheers, Doc

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 : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...

Absolutely fantastic vocals from her.

Pure chill-out electronica.

Some of my best chillout. Her vocals were definitely inspiring.
