This is just awesome my friend. Such a great fusion of sound. I like the vocals as well. Is that Janis(carole)? the dissonance of it works well. Soundhound has not trained his ears to hear that yet me thinks! The chill that this song evokes is breathtaking. And the cold ending with two chime like sounds is great as well. Thoroughly enjoyed searching out your work this evening. I was listening to what you remixed with " I wish I could fly" and each time I listen to it I love it more and more.

hello Cru
Thank you so much for playing my music and writing such a nice comments! I have to go through some hard times at the moment and your words really helped me to stay sane today. Not sure when I will return with something new regarding my music-making - for now I keep uploading some loops on this site only.

Vocal is by TaraToxic http://www.looperman.com/acapellas?mid=TaraToxic Those are 2 tunes I made with a german guy who skilfully programmed that guitar solo. The drumming is a midi performance of EZdrummer with some single additions of mine. I was aware of the 'different key' thing of the vocal part and I am glad you liked my vision - it surely might appear as something obviously unusual for some other people. I much appreciate your opinions and am happy that you like that special airy musical style I am doing.

Mentioning 'I wish I could fly' brings some nice memories - I really liked some of your older tunes I came across the moment when joining this site - especially 'Bedroom Games'. I think I might be able to make some better 're-orchestrations' as I progress with my arranging work (still learning a lot) in the future. Some themes from your songs are great - your synth work was really inspiring to me as well.
Truly I am doing all this stuff only because of this site - in 'a real life' I sometimes take a chance to play and record church organs (as it is a part of my work by actually restoring them). The music became a hobby to me but I plan to do something more with it at some point. We will see...

Thank you once again for your support and very nice comment. I much appreciate that.
Best to you, Alex

Love the Guitars and the Mix, not to sure about the Vocal though
they are in the wrong key...Different is good but wrong is not... :)
Keyboards really set the tone and moves this, in a very cool way...

Second time around listening, you don't even need that voice in
there it fills a space that Tranquility of the Harmonics would do wonders with...
Another small synth run or some extra bells moving across the spectrum...
I think it takes away from the true value of the track and that's
a shame...At lest till you find something better...

Peace...TG.

thank you. I mostly agree with what you're saying. These are 2 separated tracks - first one has very classic and simple instrumentation: lead guitar, Rhodes bass, main Rhodes and drums. Second one is much more experimental, I couldn't find vocals that will fit better in here, at some point they are sounding ok for me. Just some experimental track of mine. The guitar loop I used was too short so I started throwing more layers to keep it interesting. Also my laptop crashed and I ran out of memory when doing this one so I couldn't add the synth or epiano solo...
Thanks for listening to my music and some interesting thoughts! Alex

This has a really nice chill vibe to it. Not sure what the gap of silence was but then it picks back up where it left off. Pleasant sounding instruments. Vocals add a nice touch too.

Thank you! These are basically 2 different pieces I decided to join together as they were made out of the same guitar loop. I ran out of the upload space here - that's my way to put more work here.
Thanks again for some nice comment, Alex

I enjoyed the first minute and fifteen seconds and now it's gone into something a bit deeper and funky sounding. nice touch with the vocals over the top of the guitars and i dig the drum section as well, there's some really interesting snare work going on there.
You two have done a good job with this and it was a pleasure to drop by and listen.

These tracks definitely give the impression that you are tuning in to your focused sound, and they feel more like a finished product as opposed to a "trial" or work in progress sort of song. Has the feel of good classic rock. Could be nice on a record! Jazzy, bluesy, and fun! Fave!

Thank you! Actually Zank recorded (in fact programmed) guitars to my backing track I sent to him earlier. I didn't expect this one sounding like this. Basically it's a compilation of 2 takes on his guitars (second part was first). I played electric piano bass and main electric piano (kontakt plugins). Drums are from EZdrummer (single snare electronic loop added).

that is an amazing bass sound in the second one 2:00 minutes in or so, and well mixed. not easy working out the lows. beautiful vocal.

thank you for good words! I really appreciate that. I played bassline on Rhodes piano (Kontakt plugin) using a very simple midi keyboard. I tried to stick as possible with the guitar - that may be a reason for the overall coherent mix sound.
happy you liked. A.

Guitar is really cool I like the clav also. Sorta funky with some Jazz fusion mixed it.

Hi Alex,
The guitar is veeeeery good! Credits to MrZank for playing it and to you for bringing it to "life". Very good!
I like a lot the way you build keys counterparts to keep the track "bouncing" around, never boring. Excellent!
Genius touch: the idea of a short pause after the first part ... simply beautiful!
A song I really liked.
Ciao, Domenico

thanks again for nice comments Zank. As I said your guitars are great. I manipulated the effects a lot so it might be quite different from the original.

Description : So, I stumbled across this dope beat by one of our own, Mytch, and literally begged him to let me jump on it. Thankfully, he was cool with it, so here it is. I hope he likes what I came up with, and I hope you like it too.

It's pretty similar to how I used to rap back in my early days, but of course, these days I don't use profanity haha.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here. This is the final mastered version. The previous version had mastering problems which I have adjusted here.
