Description : Here is my initial contribution to the Loop Challenge started by FreeRadical. Here's the thread; https://www.looperman.com/forum/thread/182711/loop-challenge Thanks to him and all that are getting involved! The full quality wave version is available here https://soundcloud.com/spivkurl/breaking-blue-16-master-c
I used all three loops given to me by M8TN -

All three were made by the excellent MrRobot! I ended up using this track as an opportunity to try out the Parallel Killer Guitar that I finished putting together not long ago. These are amongst the first recordings of the guitar. So I guess this turned out like what I would call "hard dub" or maybe it's just dub-glitch... totally not dubstep...heh. I was going for a tape recorded feel on this one for the most part. Hope you enjoy it!

Description : Not sure what category to put this under. I have just started producing songs using loops this week, so please be gentle :)
Description : Here is my most recent song, and one which I considered keeping under wraps until my album was released. With the Halloween thread, I thought this may be a chance to raise up the "funny ha ha" or "funny strange" vibe, and tuck under the nervous laughter. It was not made for this holiday or the related thread, but simply to express something which I think about regularly. I'm sure you'll get the impression!
Any masking, distortion or cross modulation is entirely intentional. This is, after all, intentional electronic brain manipulation.
Description : Vocal Stem is available for download.
Place your verse in the middle and add any instruments you like to play. This is why I left so much space on the track.
Video and track stems are linked in my profile page. Click the avatar and grab hi-res files. :)
Have fun!

Don't be bashful, let a comment
Description : Here is the long overdue "culmination" of a collaboration between Promenade2239 and myself. Not too long ago he uploaded an inspiring finished version based on this song idea, and it is located here... https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/171320
Included here is Promenade on synthesizers and samples, as well as quite a bit of rhythmic, vocal and arrangement manipulation. The vocals and guitars (classical and electric) were recorded by me, and I did some synthesis and the initial drum loops.
We spent a lot of time and effort developing the idea together. This became especially apparent when I gathered all of the stems I wished to incorporate into this version, and they totalled 85! All in all, it was an extremely valuable experience for me, and I learned so many things (even about myself).
Please leave your comments if you have any, and I will try to reply as I get caught up! Thank you for listening!

Thought i'd better jump on this since I started the loop challenge and never finished mine. This is sounding really cool, it's got a dubby kind of feel to it with lots of cool efx and inserts. The guitar sounds really good as does all the percussion and crazy noises. It doesn't sound like loops really either so congratulations on finishing and coming up with something good.

Such a cool weird tune . The guitar is ripped right out of the New Romantics Playbook (Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet). The Dub is eclectic and the beat is hypnotic.

I feel it needs some spoken word lyrics on this one, like describing an acid trip or a very weird day sort of like Robbie Roberston's "somewhere don the crazy river". I just had espresso so why creative thoughts are racing this Sunday. The synth work is very tasteful BTW, I wished it continued longer.

Regreetings. No problem with the Over And Over bassline. Still don’t know what you think of that bassline/song. Would be interesting if you thought it was awful. My guess is you’re just using a similar synth bass sound.
Great to hear you’re so happy with your guitar. I have no ability for building stuff or knowledge of electronics so you’re vastly superior in those areas. Would be fun to make my own guitar or bass. Or some sort of other strange hybrid. For instance, I’d really like a mohan veena, which is a cross between a guitar and sitar (with extra resonant strings) and all played with a bar, like a Weissenborn. Can’t buy mohan veenas in UK and I won’t buy one (ie import it) without first playing it.
I’d also like a 2-string slide bass, as played by the legendary Mark Sandman from Morphine. If I’m very nice to you, could you make me one? I’ll pick it up the next time I visit the US.
Have a look on Youtube as people have made 2 string basses designed specifically to be played with slide (more than 2/3 strings and slide playing gets awkward).
“my biggest dub influences would be The Clash and early Bauhaus”
No, they’re definitely not who I think of when I think of dub though I recognise some reggae/dub influence in some of The Clash’s stuff.
Silly me for not getting the Parallel Killer joke. I did have a look at your guitar after writing my review so now understand the parallel reference. Yes, maybe there are serial killers who do a couple at a time. But the ‘serial’ is a reference to doing it over and over and again, not how many are killed at a time. So, a series of killings could refer to any number of victims in each incident.
“groove loops, which contain more than one instrument class.”
Yes, I like to have everything separate for greater control. And so I don’t feel like a slave to that configuration of sounds ie the original loop.
Again: nice track, bro.
That new guitar in places gave the song a bit of a western feel to the track. The rhythm you were playing also reminded me of a sound the Clash were using when they were in NYC exploring early hiphop and electronic music, just some bigger effects. You must be proud of your accomplishments!
Nice job with the loops!
Merry Christmas!

yo !
i love the baseline , and i like the electronic sounds.
You are using many sounds in this track .
lots of acidlike sounds
and its very nice to listen to .
nicely done !

great groove, super sounding mix, got me bopping right away, would be a great car track, too bad I don't drive.
Wow! Cool loops selected, and I definitely feel you've brought the best out of them! I feel like this is a 'disco from the future song' and I could see this being a trend.
You've done it again!
-RPS
Very inventive stuff again...has a bit of retro feel...cool bassline...you really know how to work with loops! Very well done!:)
Compliments _____Orlando
Word up, Spiv.
This might be my favourite track of yours. Yet again, you've got a bassline that reminds me of Hot Chip's one good song - Over And Over. I'm sure I've noticed that in at least 3 of your tracks. Just as well it's a fine bassline.
Damn cool stuff and I haven't yet bothered to check what the loops are.
Guitar starting at 0:06. Totally different to how I play. Has a cool, lo-fi, home-made (yes, I know it is) sort of delta bluesman quality to it and you're really grooving with it. But in a chilled funky groove track with quite a hip hop vibe so some interesting genre mergers.
3:25 do I hear a bit of slide on that guitar? You know I'm just a little into that...
I'm not really hearing the dub that other people are talking about. Maybe a bit from the bass.
1:07 weirdness of the sort I'd expect from you. Bit too discordant for me but kind of goes with the vibe.
WTF is a Parallel Killer Guitar ie why that name?
I'll be very (pleasantly) surprised if anyone else has managed to make as good a track using those loops.
Could have been longer though it's still a good length.
Might return for more detail but these are some of my initial thoughts.
Nice, powerfull, dublike, electro-wave-rock-track, with an exelent retro feeling. See myself in a cool club in berlin around ´89, on something that made us a little faster then the others and some that made us a little funnyer then the most, jumping around to your music.
very cool one. You did a real good work with this samples and put some cool stuff over it. I like it :)
stay tuned
joe
very fine work - I really enjoyed this one. Probably this is close to what we could call 'minimal' music. At least at the very beginning of the track... I thought you might experiment with the delay effect on guitar even more to get the dub/reggae feel but instead there's a great amount of electronic glitchy sounds (I liked some toms as well) which is very nice also. I guess the 'dub' sound-image is only a result of mixing the tone of that guitar and the electronic sounding loops. I like that part from about 2:21 with some interesting bass filtering. At 3:15 it reminds kraftwerk for a while but with some bluesy, very eastern sounding guitar (at 3:26). Bassline sounds really good in here (as always). Very solid piece of music and really creative, detailed work on the track. Alex
The mad scientist does it again! :p Is that a guitar you built? There should be a Spivkurl genre on here ;) That would fix the confusion about what genre. Good one, flows along nicely and all fits together perfect :D I used a synth loop of yours on a new blues track. You should post a few to the challenge to challenge me with again :D Too much fun!
Impressive Spiv creation. Digital frankenstien aka Digi Dokta kind of scene. Used those loops better than I had thought. Nice intro to the PKG recordings log, adds a good element to the mix. A dub with a dub that glitches was an interestn listen Pat. Thanks for sharing. Illusive chemicals? Peace.
