Description : No loops used in this one and I created almost all the sounds in the FL 3xOscillator so it should be called The Oscillator Song. But I ruined the idea of just using my own stuff with throwing in a beautiful Acapella by Mhyst: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6161/close-my-eyes-62bpm-by-mhyst-62bpm-ambient-acapella
Also tried to learn to use the FPC drum machine and some compressors and EQs.

    I can only encourage you to explore the sounds - Im a classical musician jumped into a laptop music making about 2012. I put much effort into this so far and now I can make some quite pleasant sounds at some point but still there's many aspects to improve and to exlpore... I'd just suggest you to do so and have fun with it:)

    hi again SeriouslyJoking,
    I think my approach to music is quite different at least at the moment... I use a lot of EQ and effects only to enhance/get rid of some frequences... But I really like the raw and basic sounds... I am currently working on some acoustic track with voice and piano and am aware that it could be easily 'overproducing'... It's really hard to give some useful advices on your song. It depends on you and how you will progress with all that ... meaning the less of effects added the more realistic and natural sound you get... I hope.

    I'm not really sure what I'm going for with this particular song, I'm actually also working on an other song at the moment and trying to learn all sorts of things to make that song sound the best it can and this one popped out from that Project, as I tried to create sweeping pads with the 3xosc (and failed miserably as you can hear - no sweeping sounds at all).
    I'm with you there when it comes to preferring raw and natural sounds really but it's not suited in all musical styles I guess.

    Looking forward to hearing that new acoustic song of yours!

    Hey SJ

    wow oh wow

    Simplicity at its best, stunning track, would not have guess it was Mhyst vocals, guessing you changed pitch/key, whatever you did it sounds brilliant, brilliant clarity of the mix, this sounds like it could be on the radio, extremely impressive track...one of my all time fav of yours so far...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

    Hi Mosaic!

    No didn't change the pitch on Mhysts vocal but I layered it a couple of times - 3 times actually - to get a fuller sound and applied a flanger effect on one of them which is hardly noticeabel but gives a little edge to it (thank you Youtube-tutorial!!! =D) So maybe that's what You are hearing?
    Although I messed it up a little by not checking that all the layers were sitting exactly the same way on top of each other so it's sounding a bit uneven at times...oh - I EQ'd the vocal also, just learned how to do that in a better way.

    Well anyway - thanks for listening. Really sweet of you to think it could almost be on the radio! Haha. It's the great vocal that does it, so I'll pass that one compliment over to Mhyst.

    Take care Mosaic and see you around!
    / SJ =)

    hi, really nice one. at some point it reminds me of a cheap 8bit tune. its because of the simplicity of the synth you use.
    but still great: pads, pianos, some plucked instrument even, bassline - all sound quite similar... I really like your work.
    I think you could also turn the drums louder. Overall really nice piece. Congrats,
    Alex

    Hello Alex!
    Noted and agreed about the drum volume.
    About the 8bit chip tune sound - yes I tried to keep it very simple and not add much reverb at all (which i always overdose).
    Also tried to follow the drum line with all the synths so had to keep the sounds kind of dry. But I think I compressed some of the sounds too much, the song is sounding VERY flat. Have to get some of the dynamics back if I redo this some day.
    Thanks for listening!

    Tjena SJ,

    Nice to see you around again and it's good to know you're still making some music and furthermore improving your skills on things you mentioned...
    This one reminds me incredibly on Bronski Beat style regardless of female vocals....anyways, you did a good job again so take some sincere compliments from

    Orlando

    Tjenixen Orlando!
    I just finished listening to your song and everything is sounding really flat, dead and undynamic in comparison. :D

    Had to check out Bronski Beat - I loved those songs! Not sure where the similarity is or if there is one but I take it as a great compliment anyway! Thanks.

    Take care! / SJ =)

    I like this one, good chord structure following the circle of 5ths (music theory) nice side chaining and overall a pleasant journey. good work

    The circle of 5ths? Have to remember that.
    Thanks for listening, Steve.
    I'm of course hearing a lot of errors after uploading, the vocal doesn't sit very well and I think I compressed away all the dynamics...well it's all just a learning process.

    Cheers!

Description : Just like the first EP "OGOU", this production focuses on organic elements with drum samples.It contains modern sounds such electronic down-tempo, future bass,and hip-hop, which makes the music sound old and new at the same time. With heavy sampling of African chants and sound generated from other tribes, this is production will bring more flavor and enjoyment--it's like Africa to your Ears.

Description : After a major uphill battle completing this song and turning it into what it is now, I feel some amount of satisfaction. It was like reality wanted me to give up or something. It's done... phew... Have updated this almost completely, from repatching the modular bass, playing some guitar parts, adding electric piano and synth lead, redoing and tuning the DW-6000 synth, of course adding my vocals, and mixing and mastering. It really has become pretty new wave, like much of my stuff does recently. Have added the lyrics as well. I am proud and happy with it, and I hope you all enjoy listening! UPDATE... woohoo just broke 1000 plays on this track here at looperman!
***original description***
Hey finally here with a new track! I'm not sure what to call this other than electronic, due to the high tempo. This is the first song finished using my interface which allows direct MIDI control of my modular synthesizer. The mid frequency bass part is all from that patch. There are tracks designed with my Zoom RT-123 drum machine, the microkorg, and the circuit bent KORG DW-6000. Other than that it is just a kick and snare drum sample, and a a quick vocal snippet. So I guess it's fairly minimal in that respect. Would like to hear the Looperman community's thoughts on this song! Thank you for listening

Description : This coming from the New Project called, "World Futurism."

it's a production inspired by various tribes like Africa,Asia, North America. And with some heavy bass and synth sound, we got something refreshing to the ears.

I know I have promised a lot you that I will finish it but never did. However, I am for real this time.

Description : This one has a lot of changes. Pretty unique. Lots of dubstep sounds, glitch and other sounds. I always enjoy listening back to it. Throw on some headphones, crank it up, and experience the awesomeness of this epic electronic composition.
