I am not sure how I missed this one, especially around Halloween, but I am glad I discovered it. This had to be a "nightmare" to try and capture all of the meter changes, and have the chaos all meld together to make a cohesive track. Really innovative and a lot of fun to listen to.....looks like the 3 mad scientists got together and made this one work really well. An enjoyable listen and a tip of the hat to all of you. I hope all is well.

This is..almost a lil too much irony. I watched a video last night that informed me of what the last episode of "Tom & Jerry" was. Not sure if 100 percent true because I haven't watched the last episode. It showed clips though. I dunno if you've ever watched it but I don't think you necessarily have to like cartoons to have seen this show before. Anyways, I didn't know the last episode was about both of them eventually killing themselves over cheating girlfriends. Their suicide was waiting for the train on the train tracks...eerie. This track almost fits that episode in a way. Creative use of fx. Synths are nicely done. Can hear this in Banjo Kazooie even too. Great collab between Spiv and Phatkatz. Definitely a cinematic production. peace

I remember Tom & Jerry but that is a bizarre thing to do for a last episode in a cartoon. I don't know Banjo Kazooie. thanks for the positive comments on the track. really appreciate it.

Oh man, where have I been, I didn't even realize this was finished! That darn cat! (Literally!) I love what you've done to take this idea too a complete (and completely vital) state! The ending was just crazy in a good way. I know it was a challenge to use those loops I sent, but you've done superbly in trying to understand my way of thinking. Burton has a great mind for cinematic arrangement and atmosphere, and this would be missing something without his work. Very happy to be a part of this, so thank you! Fav'd!

I'm glad you had a chance to listen to the final! it took a minute to bring this one around both conceptually and with the mix. but I think it landed in a decent place and I'm happy. thanks again very much.

it took a minute to get this one in focus. a lot of elements to mix (at least for this baby producer). but having a story line (especially a phatkatz story line) is a neat way to find direction and inspiration for a track. really glad you had a chance to take listen and enjoyed. see you round the cyberhood. Best - Dan

Wow - this is definitely some weird stuff (in a good way, of course.)

I think it is a very 'funny' song and the cat sounds are good too. Keep it up!

DanGoldstein replied 25th Oct 2014 - 11 years ago
it was fun developing cat sounds. I think one was just made with the voice synth in FL studio using martian sound and the word meow. then effecting it in a few ways. I don't know how Spiv made his cat loop but it was awesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. thanks for stopping by. peace. Dan

thanks very much Scott. it has had quite a facelift in the last few days. more present. but yea - I enjoy these cinematic efforts - telling a literal story at least in part. i'm fortunate to have good collabs. but the mix has been an absolute trial from heaven.

Man, so good! I'm not sure what I was expecting but this was great. It had me laughing right from the cat getting his food intro,lol. 3 talented looperman people putting ideas together coming up with a really cool and fun track.

Props to all! I fav'd :)

3 flew the cookoos nest :p I like this version :D I like that voice synth, going see if I can find one. I have Natural reader which I guess is similar, text to speech. Used it on Gothic Lullabye (the poem part) Was the Zombie after Patience's tuna? Joe say's they don't like cat meat. Uh oh, there's men in white coats coming :O .....

DanGoldstein replied 17th Oct 2014 - 11 years ago
yea - i guess we could do worse than reps for creative lunacy. def zombie wanted patience' food. has no use for the housecats per se. prefers hanging with ferals. making this up of course. just my contribution to the urban legend.

Solid Mix as well...

thanks soundhound. I appreciate it. just keep trying to stay out of the way of the melody! That zombie did need some taming, however. He was hissing off the spectrum and needed some cuts. thanks for stopping by. nice to hear from you. regards - Dan

Guys,
This is exactly the kind of abstract I would expect from the combination of colabbers on this one.
Bizarrely sets a scene.

DanGoldstein replied 17th Oct 2014 - 11 years ago
yea. Burton comes up with the story lines and Pat managed to figure out my crazy time signatures and enhance as always. still tweaking this one. there is a zombie rock ending now. thanks for stopping by Mark. you have really heard the evolution like nobody else buddy.

Your stuff is really off the cuff. This truly is on the bizzare (however you spell it) side. It's really freaky sounding. I'm going to download it and play it to my mates when we're all a bit out of it because i reckon this would freak everyone out.
Congrats for daring to be different.
Class!

thanks very much FR. still mixing and recently added a bit of zombie rock at the end. i honestly would like to color this one even more to elevate that freaky aspect but I'm happy if you are tuning into it nonetheless. thanks again for the cyber visit. - Dan

Thanks for stopping by Joe. I'm glad you are liking it. trying to think how I can effect the zombie voice a little to sustain interest. same with the meows. Anyway, i tried twice this morning to upload new version without success. It seems i will need to do a new upload for the revision. Thanks again for your comment. Regards - Dan

I'm not much of a lead guitar player or I'd give it a shot at the end, good description hahaha. Like the edits :D These are a blast!! I still need to use that boiling murder somewhere 3:D> For what ever reason that biohazard loop just doesn't sound right to me with spiv's beat :/ Popular zombie right there! He really gets around. I think I've killed him twice now so far, f*er keeps coming back for more! Looks like it's Patience's turn to do him him, if she doesn't get eaten or turned into a zombie cat :D How did you make the Meow? (not the meow synth I used, the other "meow")
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied 14th Oct 2014 - 11 years ago
hey Burton. that meow was made using the vocal synth in FL Studio. I think it is the martian sound. you just type in the word meow, tell the synth what flavor you want, and out it comes. I have a lot of mixing to do but I think the version posted now (as of 10/14) is pretty much laid out in final form. I am posting an abbreviated version on the website and that one will be revised as well. Talk to you soon. Enjoy the Halloween season.

hi, very nice and funny work. I really like all 'cat' sounds. There's some ambient wet noises like waterdrops or something. The breaking of 4/4 meter is good as well as breaking cat's chill. Great work. Alex

Description : 'Taqdeer' in Urdu means 'Fate' or 'Destiny'. This is an Arabic /Hindi/Bollywood hip hop /club track. The drums are hip hop but the vibe is full sad emotional club vibe. It reminiscences of a man crying teardrops in a nightclub. That can be the best way to explain the vibe of this track. Hope you enjoy it!
