Description : EDIT: you can download the full album for free http://mrwolf14.bandcamp.com ....... I decided to put some of my songs together in an album (just for myself).
Since most of the inspiration came from this wonderful site, I will post all of them here.
I am more or less done with the mix, I need to master the track and even if this is just for myself, I would like to get the best possible sounding record.
So ... I am all ears! Expecting for your precious inputs (as usual).
Big thanks to Mr Billy Dragon for this wonderful poem:
This was the first thing I downloaded and used from looperman. So of course it had to be my "opening track".

Hey MrWolf, nice work man! very cool spoken word piece, I like the live almost cavern feel you've created here it's almost minimalist in nature but has an ambience that floats those lyrics perfectly creating an excellent ambience....great composition with a strong message! cheers Dave
I love the emotion of this. I love the spoken word, but the musical arrangement is so good in this one. Perfect use of minimal bass and guitars. Bluesy and yet progressive. Awesome work my friend. Though Billy's Vox of utopia(paradise) lost is unrealistic to reality, (we are actually improving the Human condition not regressing) it's still a great listen.

Thanks for the kind words Cru.
Actually I also think that we are improving our condition, despite what a lot of people cry. I find it a bit strange: elder people are stating that 40 years back everything was better ... of course it was! they were 40 years younger!
Nevertheless I find Billy's poem on the idea of a "lost paradise" very romantic.
Don't forget to clean your needle off when playing your records, he. Nice intro, I don't miss the crackling noise while listening to music these days unless it is an effect like here. Hey Domenico, hope you are well!
Billy Dragon's pella's are always interesting, he has his own style that stands out. I like the relaxed feel to the track, very 70's to me. The keys and guitar with the blues style drums set a neat tone and feel to the track. The vocals are not typical of this style of music but they work great. I like the guitar stabs, nice attack.
Hi Wayne, sorry for the huge delay.
Thanks a lot for listening to this track: this is the 1st track I have recorded using "looperman-material" and it's still one of my favorites.
So... kudos to our MrDragon!
Ciao, Domenico
First off have to echo thoughts from some other reviewers, this a very professional sounding piece that could be on radio...Vocals excellent...everything about the instrumental is spot on, no faults from here mate...love it...FV...peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Very cool bluesy style on this one! I always enjoy interpretations of BD's spoken word, and you've done a great one here. The vinyl effect used is a cool one, and sets the tone well. Can't say there was anything in this I didn't like. Great work!
hi. Very solid rock style arrangement and chilled for sure. I was listening to your track earlier today but now I realize it is actually a phased el. piano here not a synth from 0:13 haha.
Nice work with the acapella and really solid production - I just finished a track with very similar instrumentation and for sure can appreciate your work in here. Keep at it!
Best to you, Alex
Thanks for the kind words Alex.
I like "tweaking" the e-piano sound ... I consider it a bit like a guitar (and the fender rhodes was not far from it actually).
Take care, Domenico
Thanks a lot Danke... credit for the depth goes all to Billy. He is the man!
I think this is the first song I have ever posted on looperman some time back (2012?) but I have heavily reworked it in the last week.
Thanks to all the precious inputs from the looperman community I think I have become a better musician ... not too much... but you cannot expect miracles :-)
Take care!
Domenico

If you liked Trouble in Paradise Feat Billy Dragon by mrwolf14 you might also like these other Chill Out tracks.
Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.
Description : This improv recorded a few years ago powered my interest even further than I expected.....recorded using tc electronics pedal and tascam studio recorder and a Fender Squier tele electric....
Description : May I introduce you to KayOS? She writes wonderful poems and is a long term friend of mine. I did find a way to lay her voice into a sheet of musical blankets like I did with Dime before. It took me not long to get into her zone and produced a Chill Out song that reminds me to the first Chill Out pioneer Michael Cretu.
Please feel free to download from kayos2.bandcamp.com if you want to support our work. Many thanks, Oli&Kay
Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.
Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.
Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."
Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice
Description : This track describes a magical state that I experienced a long time ago. Maybe you also know the feeling that you can't describe something like this with words ... luckily we have the music for it!
Description : So this is my first Chill Outish track. I was just trying something new and then suddenly this was a thing. Everything you hear is home made. I hope you enjoy. - Mr. Spook'd
Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
Description : That's something i worked out lately
a swing 3/4 hip hop Chill ?? Don't know how to describe this kind of music.
Anyway VOICE NEEDED
So if your interested to try something contact me
