Description : "Oh no - not jazz metal! You're not supposed to mix those genres together." Yes, but someone's got to and the musical gods have chosen me for the difficult task. 9 mins of instrumental jazz metal - damn I sure know how to write a hit song - US No 1 here I come. Anyway - there's some dark, swinging groovy jazz, with Rhodes and guitar as the main instruments, for a few minutes and then some haunting, thumping evil breaks loose. Look out for the powerful synth horn sound. And then it just gets heavier and heavier before returning to some nice chillgroove funky mystery jazz. Instruments played and/or programmed: electric guitar, bass guitar, electric cello, multiple programmed acoustic drumkits, filtered strings, Rhodes, big synth bass, evil synth horn and a few other assorted synths. I assume this has too much jazz for metallers and too much metal for jazzers. So, only for weirdoes like me who enjoy both. This will surely be too odd for most people but I like to think it's pretty interesting and powerful. Let me know how its weirdness worked for you...

Description : This song highlights a few different styles of jazz. First it starts with a kinda early 20s and 30s groove. Than it melds into a New Orleans style. Than into a sort of Maynard Ferguson big band jazz/rock groove, and finishing off with the 20s and 30s style again, all held together with some cool horns and bass. All n all, it's...Pretty Cool! Hope you like

Description : Do not freak out just because this is jazz! There's also blues, rock, funk and a little hip hop in it to break up the deep, chillout jazz sections - gets particularly rocking then funky at the end. Main bassline (the track's foundation) is recycled leftover slide resonator guitar parts detuned one octave to make a slide bass sound. Also features: piano, violin, hammered dulcimer, organ, ethereal pad guitar, bass guitar, jazz/blues/rock electric guitar and multiple programmed acoustic drumkits. This was difficult to make at times as I thought I needed more leads parts eg from sax or trumpet. But I'm happyish with the end result. I expect very little interest in this as it's both jazz and long jazz. But it's also an unusual type of genre-mixing jazz. So, leave your thoughts, good or bad, if you like...

Description : This track contains only free loops from Stayonbeat.com and several loops from Looperman artists (listed below). I "made a promise" that my next track will be use a lot of jazzy loops - well, i done with this track, for the great sadness of jazz lovers or experts i think - i fear they will never forgive me. :) While my ISP launches my internet out of the Earth system for a long time, i had to face the fact that i dont have too much downloaded jazz loops on my computer, so i think no wonder that this one is sounds like if i smoke some marihuana while making it. But hey, who cares, i like the result - it reminds me the (maybe only) really funny episode of "Breaking Bad", where Pinkman uses some heroin and flyes up with an idiotic smile on his face - that chapter is priceless. :D
I dont think this one needs a vocal, but ofcourse you can use it if you want, and as always, just write and i will give any support as i can. Any feedback welcomed too as always. Enjoy! UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!

Description : Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim. This particular piano arrangement is from one of jazz sheet piano books I found on scribd. The electric piano is MrRay22 plugin which I played on Casio CDP220 digital piano. This is also a new piece that I learned today so it was quite tricky to get a proper touch at places and overall make the entire thing sound anywhere realistic. I tried many times and this was probably the best take. Also I am relatively new to playing latin piano music. I didn't manipulate any notes after recording - instead I added few virtual vintage amps. I choose jazz but it is a bossa nova latin style. Enjoy and feel free to comment and download.

Nice One! I like that section that start at 4:20. Awesome work here.
Mark
It works in my books. Fabulous :)
That's a great track. The groove is fantastic all the way through.
Well Static....since I think genres are useful when one is looking for a particular style of music to listen to and something that would often be best disregarded when creating music, you get my vote on whatever genre you want to post under...really like the swinging beginning....I would have been happy to listen to it the rest of the way...and then it starts evolving towards the wild side...introducing the chugging guitar....drop to the cool piano...bring in a bit of Hendrix.....turn the rhythm chuggers back on & let er fly...enjoying the ride...and then back around 6:00 to the smooth...and damn...I`m enjoying this again too...like the clean guitar...and notice the well programmed softer style drums with just the right amount of meat... (wish I could do that)....very seldom listen to mixes of this length...but have to confess this flew by....must have been damn good....and I`m not surprised...and the whole thing hangs together like a good film.....Bravo......Ed....PS LM seems to be working a bit better for me on Chrome that it did on IE or Firefox....my thanks for your comments on my track..I was getting a bit discouraged trying to reply and taking 5 minutes to get a few words to enter while the graphics played....
Nice & unique. Reminds me a bit of Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle) 'The Girls of Porn', but a much smoother, full, & groovyier sound.
Never understood why jazz and metal "don't work together".
Ha! Yes, it sounds weird at some tiny little cute parts but I liked it. :) This definitely doesn't get boring. And aren't the dissonances the fun part anyway?
Scott Ian made the observation that Megadeth were just a bunch of jazz musicians who happened to be playing ,metal. So Why not Metal-Jazz.
Nice sinister opening. Percussion is restrained and appropriate for this opening. Kind of a spooky sound in the begining (Which is awesome). Groove is phenomenal. first 2:30 felt like 30 seconds.
3 mins on I may have weed myself a bit.( remind me from now on to wear diapers when listening to your music) dark and bitter and groovy and spooky are the only words I can think of.
Ahh 3:52 here comes the warm metal jets. Ooh nice bringdown to the bass only and back to the metal shuffle.
The metal is intense now and really awesome. It think Val-d should like this.
5:52 is an awesome jazz-like breakdown. you have really out done yourself my friend.
7:30 is a nice silent moment.
class and perfection throughout.
love the ending
Congratulations on a great piece of artwork my friend.
Too Cool to be Cru
close-haha, i read it "in the VOICE" of master splinter.
LMFAO-i read your discription like master splinter would say it lol!!!epic!!!
Besides the humorous description, I actually like the track very much : it sounds a bit like a 'Mike Patton/Fantomas/Tomahawk' kind of thing. I was singing (shrieking ?) along while listening to the track. A shame we can't download, would have tried a voice just for fun. Thank you, great work and first comment I ever wrote on Loooooperman (too much HipHopDanceRnBDubstep stuff, not enough actual songs). Again, great work ! (I'm french, so 'pardon my english').
you should try try to blend polka and rap together! :P If you can pull this one off so beautifully, I KNOW you have the skills to make it sound good! Haha, and I was indeed referencing the interesting appearance of the sound wave. Very...other-worldly-looking. Almost has the Eagle Nebula shape to it!
This is actually really, unexpectedly good. I love all of the Rhodes sounds, and the guitars at the middle of the song are phenomenal... wow, Jazz-Metal should be a subculture.
hello again,
I really liked peacefully evolving intro you have in here. there's also some sitar I can hear (or something very similar) which makes me want simply take the 0:13 - 0:19, loop it and make entire track out of it. True meditation eastern music. Flutes around 0:51 are characteristic for your music, sound used on many of your tracks - always in the background. Never heard it playing a longer solo phrase...it is probably an 'Ozric Tentacles' kind of inspiration I guess. I can hear vocoded voice at 1:21 as well, may be just a result of processing and effects. The e piano sounds good. I find that horn (or whatever it is at 2:55) very enyojable and the way you manipulate is fun. Nice. Smooth transition to the heavier section but I assume you would probably have many elements available for each future song so that's not a surprise to see so many variations of the same theme. Basically you seem to play still exactly the same sequences (ot let's say: pretty much the same tune) when comes to 'metal' sections, of course operating different volume and heavier articulations. That's how I see it at the very basic level. I can't comment on metal parts because it's not really a region of my competence and preference. All I can say is that this sounds much better from the metal I can hear on the site. Also there's a little more of electric piano playing at the very end which is very nice. Still too short but always good to hear you playing keyboards!
I think I can have some ideas you may like at some point in the near future, hopefully sometime they will materialize into an interesting track. I say that because I just bought real analog monosynth and really want to expand my sound. Less plugins and artificial manipulations, more true sound and real time playing. Also wanted to record my upright piano soon. Maybe some of this will fit your vision - I will let you know. I can read on your profile that you are still available for collab with anyone who thinks he can add something good. So it is safe to say I think I can. We will see.
Thanks for posting quality and simply good sounding composition.
Best to you, A
Sounds like Mr. Bean, or Austin Powers is up to something. Haha.
I like how it starts off like jazz and morphs into jazz from a different family.
Good work!
Sorry, yes it was my mistake - I meant Heavy Metal and not Heavy Rock.
DAT SOUNDWAVE DOE. Hey Static. This is truly a beautiful blend of two seemingly incompatible genres. In my opinion, the metal part of the song could have started a little earlier, but it is definitely okay as is. Keep posting this awesome stuff man. Cheers!
ER
Wow, what a cool fusion of modern Jazz and Heavy Rock. Very inventive and futuristic! Refreshing to hear such an awesome mix. Nicely done, great job!
Hey man, this one's a little different and less psychedelic than your usual tracks. I gave this a few listens and I would consider this a blues track more than jazz. The chords and structure and even the instruments remind me of classic old blues songs. You've gone and added you style and jewelry to the track but imho it reeks of the blues in a personal and unique way though. I hear some jazz stylizing in there but it's done in a blues context. I don't get too hung up on genres so you can heave my opinion in the trash if you like. I just like it when people break the rules and do something different and you do and you are.:)
Even though I thought the slower parts were pretty good I thought the parts that were built up really stood out. The first transition around 2:55 was cool, was that where the electric cello gets it's mojo on? The theremin sounding instrument was scary, a different texture to mix it up. The chugging guitars were about right for the track, that def worked.
Good length and a definite ending, which we don't hear all the time from you. I liked it. A good change of direction musically and an overall cooool track. Mix top notch!
Cheers!
Wayne
Nice swell in the intro, and you give us some keys this time! I don't recall much of that in the past.
1:00 you settle into a smooth, laid back groove that reminds me of the Pink Panther. Solo trills and slides are tasty.
2:55 shows the entrance of the electric frog from outer-space. Bass is thick and dense, almost too much,.... or maybe it's my new headphones. Aggressive guitars make an entrance and air their grievances.
5:53, we calm back down considerably. guitar line seems to be telling an interesting story about a past experience.
Not a fan of the monster-owl sounds in the last bit. Maybe too shrill for me. Can't place what it is. Surely it's not the cello making an early appearance. Hope that is going well, by the way.
A ream of dirt cheese.
Evan
I think you've found a combination that works really well- jazz metal. I think the world needs more of this. I really enjoy the juxtaposition of the swing rhythms and the dark metal elements. The horn also is really nice. Another great song by StaticNomad. Well done!
Dear MrNomad,
It worked. I liked (almost) every single bit of this weird track.
The first minutes are really "cool": a nice bluesy/jazzy riff going on. Nice drums. Bass a bit "understated" but it works fine.
Fine guitar solo between 1:50 and 2:45.
Then things get "weirder": not a big fan of this synth-horn sound. But it works well here.
We have to wait almost 4 minutes to get the metal-guitarist; but it is well known that metallers are lazy people and they are always late at appointments. So just fine.
Big question: is the heavy part maintaining the spirit of the initial part? is it still the same song or you kind of cheated and "abutted" together two different songs to accomplish your metal-jazz task?
Only the gods can answer.
Me, as a humble human being, not chosen by any god, I can see some "common traits" between the different sections. Of course they are "feeble" but still the thing works as a whole. So well done.
Of course, ca va sans dire, my favorite spot is the fine bass work starting at 6:41. I think this is the most convincing part of the bluesy/jazzy thing.
The stop is also working fine.
Nice chords with weird effect coming after the stop.
Some vocal-like effects: haunting.
good work on the keys for the closing part.
Overall, I enjoyed the song, a lot.
I have to listen it some more times, but I believe this is going to become my favorite one.
In the end we have more jazz than metal.
And it's OK so (at least for me).
Ciao, Domenico
