I'm enjoying the vocal parts much, and the guitar is a nice addition for this sort of songwriting and singing. I think that the piano and horns are a bit punchy for my tastes, like they overpower the other elements. I also realize that this sort of dynamic is very much your style, so don't worry about it. I dig the arrangement, both instrumentally and the vocal parts. Over all quite an enjoyable listen!

Thank you! This is one of my first colla tracks here on looperman. Basically the entire song is based on that repetitive bossa guitar loop. The piano is just a vst JazzBaby, agreed with it's punchy and unnatural sound. I do not know why it sounded like this here, maybe it is just the way I played but I probably couldn't mix it better at a time. Let's say it is a sketch of a song - I can still rework the arrangement.
I am just about getting much more professional pair of microphones (at least) so finally I will be able to record organ and my upright piano properly. The action of that old upright piano is not my favourite and it has a mellow kind of sound but anyway I'll upload some piano tracks here as soon I can.
Thank you again for taking a time for listening to my music and commenting. Glad you enjoyed this one!

hi and sorry for my late reply!
I am really glad you enjoyed this one - the vocals are chopped and arranged to fit the new idea. Here's the acapella I used: http://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6143
Guitars and sax lines by ferryterry. Some bossa drums. Piano by me.
Thanks again for your kind words and your time.
Best, Alex

Reminds me of a song I would listen to at a fancy restaurant or even an event like a wedding or a reunion of some sort. I really enjoyed this. The vocals, the jazz instruments and the drums make this song a great one. Thank you for the piece and hope to hear more!

Nice, bit old fashioned but really chills me out after a long day so I like it ;)

The vocals go great with it and I like how you played the piano, at first the piano seemed a bit hard in contrast to the other instruments but it surely makes it stand out (not sure if intended but I guess it is)

Thanks for sharing it with us

hi, glad you enjoyed the music. Yes, the piano I used is not a 'real piano' but just a 'vst-piano':) So quite difficult to get a proper sound from it... But still sounds quite good as far I am working only with the virtual instruments currently... Thanks for your nice comment,
Alex

well, Franco (Ferryterry) is definitely the right kind of company on a Latin inspired piece of music...very tasty use of the little piano parts...and the sax goes great...about the perfect combination of instruments for the summery vibe of the track...who did the vocals Alex?....they are really good...found those couple of counds right at the end (outro) a bit unusual....enjoyed this one.....well done.....Ed

About the piano... actually I am a piano player so here (and also on many of my other tracks) I did the piano part myself... I used a Jazz Baby vst here:) Sax-sounds are samples also from ferryterry.... I did many songs with Oceanically. Her's the newest one: https://soundcloud.com/promenade2239/blue-lagoon-ft-oceanically
I will post this song on looperman soon... but for now just wanted to let the Simple Song be more exposed for a while...
Glad you enjoyed this one.
Nice day,
Alex

It is not 0:13 but 0:17. Notice the guitar sounds a bit different from 0:17 and so does the piano.

The links to the loops sounds perfect. The flanger sound-effect is not there.

I think, you have put an effect on it, that you are not aware of, or it could be a bug in the DAW.

I suggest you listen to it via headphones, so you can notice it.

I think that the problem is I am playing the piano
and sometimes double the guitar notes and of course that sounds a bit out of tune... But really good to know you
noticed that...
Greetings,

It starts around 0:13 notice the guitar sounds pure and perfect in the beginning, and then it changes its sound from 0:13.

You might want to listen to it via headphones to better notice it. It sounds like a flanger effect. It makes the music instruments slightly out of tune.

You have probably not done it intentionally.

ok, you could listen to them here:

And yes, this kind of music is actually slightly out of tune, haha.
Again: no processing added to the loops:)

I expected pop and I was gladly supriesed that it is Bossa Nova, what I like. I don't know why, but Bossa Nova has a calming effect on me.

A really good track. However there is an effect that destroys the natural sound of the instruments. I think, it will sound much better without it.

hi and many thanks for your nice comment.
Could you tell me which effect destroys the sound? There's not much effects added here...

That is the exact Gilberto/Getz version I was referring to, it is THE best version!

Ok with the ending.

Ahhh... a nice soothing, mediterranean, relaxing song. I have a cd full of acid jazz tracks that are just like this track and I love it. Ferryterry is an awesome guitarist and can play and set the right mood. Reminds me of "Girl from Ipanema" or some Stan Getz track in general. Mix sounds cool, nice piano track and horn track as well.

Well done, I live at the ocean and you've created a perfect song for the beach. Sounds like the ending, the last few seconds gets clipped off, no biggie, just letting you know.

hi, nice that you mentioned 'Girl from Ipanema' song - I like
this version with Astrud Gilberto singing and Getz on sax. a lot! And yes a summery athmosphere is something I was trying to bring here... Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice day,
Alex.
PS. Actaully I looped some guitar phrease to end the song like this... :)
