Technical Time Ft FarM - Spivkurl

Thank you for listening and leaving a comment!

Interesting comment you have left here, and on a song which is getting more like stale toast now!

The lyrics are still very appropriate and prominent for this life which I am living through, and for that I can give myself credit. Working with someone like FarM, even for a moment, was a good feeling. He did much of the inspirational shaping of this track, and I know I couldn't have done it on my own.

I thank you for listening and leaving your words! Hope to see some of your work show up here so I can return the favor! Have a good day!

Hey buddy, good to see you! Very happy you enjoyed listening to this! Was a fun project at the time, and fixing the problems with the demo version made it worth listening to. Definitely urgent, glad you could hear that! Hope you are well!

Hello my friend, and thank you for your kind words! Strange that my profile was not in the search... If this represents a doorway for you, then I am eager for what is to come from you artistically! Hope you are well, and thank you again!

Hey Dom, thanks for stopping in! Your comment made me happy when I read it, I always appreciate your opinions on my work. Hadn't really thought of the Devo parallel, but I think I get it after all. The album will in all likelyhood be released this Sunday, so hope you watch for that. Thanks again my friend!

Thanks friend, your comment made me happy! Grimy is definitely how I would describe this one. I kind of meant for the initial shock, and then some more little explosions throughout. I enjoy doing different styles, even though I've been focusing on just a few lately. I really appreciate you listening and taking the time to comment!

Thank you very much for the listen and comment! Happy that I could induce you to listen to some industrial, as it's definitely one of the more varied and creative genres recently. Definitely a filthy track, so I'm glad you liked that aspect. I did use more effects on my voice than usual, but you might be surprised to know that before releasing it I removed several effects. Since recording this, I've been using less effects on vocals in my songs, it was kind of a transition period. I really do appreciate your input!

Hey friend, thank you for stopping in to listen! I have barely listened to the artists you mentioned, but I totally understand what you mean by "gritty electric sound". Most of my favorite music has that characteristic to it. I am so out of the loops when it comes to mixtapes... to me it was a cassette tape dubbed with tracks from other cassettes or CDs of artists that you enjoyed. Never really felt stuck 20 years ago as I do now. Happy that you enjoyed the second half more, as I did really subtle things to enhance the feeling after the bridge. Appreciate you listening very much!

Hey Wayne, hope you are doing well! Thank you for taking a listen and leaving your feelings here! Really happy that you enjoyed listening. I guess I'm surprised, and also not surprised at the same time that you hadn't heard of skinny puppy. Surprised because they've been around a long time now, and not surprised because they were never very mainstream. I identify with their singer/songwriter ohgr very much. I think you might get into cevin key's solo stuff though, who is their main synthesist. "The Ghost Of Each Room" is a really spectacular album. I'm glad you found the words fun, I honestly didn't expect that kind of reaction considering the verses, so thank you for that. I've sang several songs since recording this, and I think the main thing that makes this better is that I spent more time perfecting it before calling it finished. FarM and I thank you for your kindness. I don't know what to expect next either, so stay tuned! Take care!

Thank you so much my friend! Took a lot of effort to fix the problems with this one, so it makes me happy that people are enjoying the final product. The performed parts, mainly vocal and guitar, seemed to really click and flow with this one. Can't say that I remember much about the recording session, except that it felt easier than usual. It's hard to tell where I'll be going next, but I know I have to do one more vocal song before I release my album. I really appreciate your support and listens!

Very cool to hear from you in regards to this track! Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment! Will be at your page ASAP!

Thank you kindly my friend! You've made me happy with your comment! Appreciate the listen!

Thanks very much Ensam for taking a listen, and leaving a comment! Thank you for the supportive words regarding the lyrics and guitar, as those had the most meaning to me. Happy to hear that you found meaning here! Appreciate you stopping by!

Hey man, thanks for listening! Yes, FarM totally started this song off in the right direction with the verse DnB. Thanks for your support on guitar, I'm not extremely good, but I enjoy playing and recording guitar sometimes. I think the vocals fit what I was trying to do, so I'm happy. You're too kind! Appreciate the comment and fave!

Hello, my friend, and thank you for your kind review! Your first point makes sense to me, primarily because if a song I'm making doesn't inspire lyrics, or lyrics I've written don't inspire a song, then either the song is instrumental, or it never happens. I do like to make instrumentals that speak on their own too. It seems like some people have been identifying with my lyrics lately, but I've also gotten the distinct impression that people don't see things the way I do. You're right, some of my songs are very personal, and I suppose sometimes cryptic. Usually when I am writing I don't think of it that way though, it all seems pretty obvious and shallow. Not cliche and very poetic are nice things to say about lyrics, so thank you! I think I've been ripped off about as much as I've borrowed ideas from others, so I guess it all works out. I really appreciate your thorough comment, and the fact that you listened!

Hey friend! Noticed you were on the forums not long ago, and here you are to listen to one of my songs! Thanks! Your words are always enjoyable to read and thought provoking. There's nothing wrong with a bit of hedonistic regres/expres-sion. Was some of the best spontaneous guitar stuff I've done I think, as it sounds looped but it's not. Baby oil and metal spikes, that sounds really comforting like 20 years ago comfortable. I need a metal bead with spikes for my dreads now. Thank you for your listen and comment as always, it's really good to have you here!

Hey my friend, you've made me really happy with your comment, especially since I learned about a new artist! I've never heard of Mark Stewart before, and that just confounds me, because I'm into so many artists that he's apparently influenced and worked with. I read this regarding his band on Wiki - "The Pop Group, a band whose songtitles, political conviction, disrespect for copyright and willingness to collaborate laid the foundations for his later work." It really had meaning for me, since I aspire to these same ideals. Very cool! When I get it together to put some headphones on, I'll listen to something from him! So pleased that you could enjoy the link I provided, I know it's not so in depth, but I felt it was a good introduction to the idea. It was really strange having the feeling that I must record these guitars and vocals at 432 Hz, and so doing it. Then returning to the song without realizing what I did. I didn't get what was wrong until months later when I went to tune a guitar and my chromatic tuner was calibrated to 432. Was funny to me, but this mix of the song wouldn't have been possible without that. Strange the feeling you get when you can't see what's right in front of your face. Thank you so much for the fave and comment! In the mood to hear something you've done. See you soon.

That's really kind of you to say! I really tried to be in the moment when I recorded these, and I think I atleast captured something in a humane sense. I always appreciate your listen and comment, thank you!

Hello my friend, and thank you for your comment! It's good to hear that some people can enjoy the lyrics for what they are. I'm having fun hearing how people interpret the song, and your words are valuable to me. I appreciate you listening!

Thank you for taking a listen and leaving a comment! Good to see you getting involved. I'll be by your page in a moment to check out your stuff!

Thanks for taking a listen! Was just a track I had to release at some point, after fixing the problems of course. The title is meant to be taken at face value, without any judgement calls... it is a technical time, technically. I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Thank you for understanding. I think I'll have to decline with electric cars as well. I'm a professional pedestrian and always have been. The only power I want to use to get where I'm going these days is food, water, and air. Not to diminish what you're doing though, we all have a right to live life as we please. As far as TISM goes, I don't know how much sanity is left to lose if I listened to them. Thanks for getting back to me!

Hello, and thank you for listening! It makes me happy that you're interested to use this song... but, I feel I am going to have to decline. It's not that I don't appreciate your video work or anything like that, but I don't think I could sanction the use of my art in relation to cars or anything fossil fuel related. Just one of my insanities I guess. Please forgive. I liked you comment "It's not a cheeseburger." Made me wonder what really you meant. I looked up TISM and hadn't really heard of them before, so I'll have to check it out a bit. Thank you for listening and leaving a comment! Sorry to disappoint.

Hey thanks my friend for the cool comment! It's definitely one to be heard loud, so I'm glad that you did. The verse parts were totally effected by FarM's dubstep/drumstep sort of bass and drums. Happy that you enjoyed the vocals! I'm thinking if I redid them, I could probably do better, as this was like 6 months ago. I'm thinking they capture a moment well this way though. Would like to hear what you do for vocals! I appreciate your listen!

Means a lot to me friend! I'm glad that you enjoyed listening! Thank you so much for the comment and the fave! (which I guess didn't show up?) See you on your page!

Thank you very much for listening and commenting! I did just switch this to industrial. I knew I was doing the wrong thing putting it under electro, and your comment helped me think straight. I appreciate you stopping by!

Hello my friend! I am so happy to receive a comment like this from you! To be compared to David Byrne is a big compliment, there are very few bands besides Talking Heads that have been constant fixtures in my life. There's been a lot of days and nights that were spent listening to their records, and I don't hear them nearly enough lately. I'm especially fond of "77", "More Songs About Buildings and Food", "Fear Of Music", and "Remain In Light". To say I have excellent continuity is really kind! These vocals were recorded probably 6 months ago or so, and though I think I've gotten better since, and could probably do them better now, I still appreciate the emotion and spontaniety of the recording. The half time parts of the beat aren't my cup of tea any more either, but it's a good snapshot of where I was at the time. Switched this to "industrial" since that's where I placed it on soundcloud, and in response to the comment right after yours. I agree with you that it's no big deal to subconsciously borrow from respected artists, I just am suspicious of Skinny Puppy's ability to get in my head. There's this song, and then two others which I gave titles that were basically identical to two songs on the same SP album. Just weird. I would be honored to collab with you sometime soon! Could definitely hear some awesome bass riffs that would inspire greatly! Thank you so much for listening and commenting!

I appreciate you being the first to comment, and the fave is a sweet bonus! The verse parts were the main thing that was contributed by FarM, and which started me writing the lyrics. Glad you enjoyed reading the words too! I played the more rhythm oriented guitar parts, and took samples from the session to make the sampled guitar melodies. Was kind of fun. It's good to have a fan in you, and you already know I'm very into your music too! Hope you're doing good!
