Description : This is an acoustic cover of the song "Come As You Are" by David Crowder. I recorded, mixed, and mastered this one in two days! Almost done burned me out haha! Hope you enjoy!
My older brother does the lead vocals and I do everything else, from instrumentation to harmonies. No vocal-editing whatsoever in this one. The guitars were all one-take recordings. Updated the audio - I added tambourine hits in the 2nd and 3rd choruses; just helps make for a more moving song.
Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs
Description : Just an acoustic/piano piece I threw together a few nights ago when coming home from university. My brother and I were doing some acoustic music together in my room, just having fun; came out with this; I immediately got on my DAW and recorded it before I forgot how ti went lol. Hoping to get some strings on it soon as well as some vocals from the bro! :P In the meantime, enjoy this instrumental.
Description : Here's a lil' acoustic instrumental I never wrote words to. Used a Guild acoustic guitar mic'd with an AKG C214 and my trusty ol' Yamaha MOX8 for other instruments (excluding shaker - that was real ;). You can find the guitar loops to this song on my profile page. Maybe one of you looperpeeps can come up with something for words on this. Otherwise, enjoy le moosic :3
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Enjoy! There is a drumless version too, with completely different atmosphere : https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/181322

This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
Description : It gives me great pleasure to upload this track I did with Richie. Usually we work "backwards", with him building a track around my vocs, but this time his instrumental came first. I love it's encouraging and motivational lyrics and as always Richie's care in making EVERYTHING perfect! :-) Totally didn't know what genre to put it in. Enjoy.

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...
Description : This is my attempt at the one-hour challenge for LM (finished at 57 min 48 sec). I had to mix/master on the go and this was the result. Some bad chords here and there that I did my best to conceal, one-takes on guitar and piano and used an awesome acapella from a1000times, who wrote the words that Dikaiko sang over. I really like her voice. Anyhoo yea, I like this one a lot so probably gonna come back to this in the near future. Comments welcome.
I got the acapella here: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/7656/marauder-feat-dikaiko-by-a1000times-132bpm-dance-acapella
EDIT: This track has been updated. I think I'm going to call it finished :)
Description : I put this under acoustic even though I did use a couple midi tracks. I felt they sounded acoustic enough to put the track in that category. Suppose it could be chill out as well, however you want to label it, do so. I used an Indian flute and an electric guitar sounding plugin with some tremolo added along with acoustic guitar, mandolin and harmonica. Nothing too complicated here and I felt it sounded good enough to upload so enjoy!
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Had to thank once again the excellent loops to their owners - i think the result is one of my best tracks ever, plus have a slight spaghetti western like feeling which is cool ... Hope you will like it too. :)

Description : Written for Claudio's birthday (my Italian friend) in obvious waltz manner and with slight classical touch this tune appears to me almost painfully simple and minimalistic (and indeed it is)....and yet, Claudio who's very familiar with my music says that this is one of the nicest pieces of music I've ever written even if it wasn't his birthday present....well, who knows if he's right..:)^^
Description : BEAUTIFUL guitar with pianino chords. This is sad guitar. But this guitar have a positive mood.
Description : A rhythm guitar track I made and sent to my cousin on the East Coast. Made with Tape-A-Talk app. from the Google Play Store. Download and collaborate with it.
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR!
Great cover of an amazing song of praise. Well done! Loved the harmonies.
you have so many comments that i agree with, and You are a true talent.
Excellent cover.
Fantastic song, love it :0)
David is easily one of my all-time favorite artists. You couldn't tell by listening to my lyrics but we all need work. This is exceptional and it hit me at the right time.
Hats off to all involved.
Well done,
T2
wow this is exceptionally great song, very well done
Everybody's talking about some Nirvana song and haven't heard the original, but it's the other way around for me. I love the original song and you did a fantastic job on this cover. Great message!
It's incredibly beautiful song! Wooooow. Thank you for an amazing experience!
Thomas Flek
This is incredibly impressive. The production of this is absolutely ace. Both the video and music so professionally done. Your acapellas are of such quality as well - do you have any tips/advice on making them sound professional? Anyways, great listen :)
Man can i share your video, because you guys killed that cover song?
Great work here. Could hear this at some of these festivals out here in the city. Not really my cup of tea at the moment but nonetheless I enjoyed the track. Solid mix too. Keep it up, peace
Gramo/Neo
Hi there!
I'm watching the video just now and you guys look great in it! Also very professional looking and sounding all of it.
I don't think I've ever heard the original track but I like your version a lot.
Excellent job!
/SJ :)
Pop music-based greetings.
I've heard this a few times and also watched the video, which I thought was well done.
When I first saw the track title, I thought it was going to be a cover of the Nirvana classic. Sadly not as that's a much better song. This certainly isn't my kind of genre of song but it's all well done, as always. I'll just say some more for now about the video, which is well made.
It's got a real simplicity to it, which is all it needs. I think people into this kind of music want to see the people making it so you deliver on that front. The beach/water backdrop provides a decent contrast from the studio and the edits are fine. Camera quality is good. There's nothing particularly interesting happening or any sort of narrative but that doesn't matter. That takes a lot more work, time, planning and probably expense.
I'd say the video is pretty much good enough for commercial release. But, in the world of Youtube, it already has been released so it's not like you need it to be on MTV (yes, I know they don't really do many music videos anymore) for anyone to see it.
Finally, well done on doing this whole song and video so quickly.
Good luck to you and your brother.
thanks for your kind reply EP,
the actual title is a nirvana's classic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vabnZ9-ex7o
I had to check out the yt to get the idea of your creation and make the proper comment but still I think you are really talented so keep up them upcoming and epic Epic!
Also thanks much for the possibility to bump up my track here by posting this simple comment. It is so much appreciated!
Have a blessed day EP! Come as you are!
this was beautiful, stunning piece of art...
This song could be a hit in the charts, I like it.
It's very nice to chill out to.
The singing of your brother melted my heart.
You did a very good job on this one.
how many keys are they been playing here?
That's amazing! I really loved this. You and your older brother make a great team, judging by this song hahaha there's not much I can say other than a major well-done. Keep up the great work.
I know I already commented on the video to this song, but I had to leave my comment on the song as well. This track is absolutely amazing. The quality of this track is great. The way you performed this (vocally wise), is just terrific. I also love that acoustic guitar and the vibe it gave the entire track.
This track almost makes me want to shed a tear while listening to it and that is definitely saying something, as I'm not the type to cry very easily. Outstanding work my friend and continue doing what you do!
Its the choices we choose that define the view of the roads we share. One must fall for another to rise. Which would you choose is what I see from this.
For 1st takes very good, subject sounds you both understand and believe into it. Nice job and for keeping a positive reach from the day to day troubles.
Things seem to be in great shape here. Thanks for sharing with us, keep fighting. Peace.
Hey Dude. I am not a man of many words, but that blows me away. Your song is absolutely beautiful.
this sounds so great!
Oh my word. Man, I have been looking for talent to work with, and i'm speechless. Make a album. Sell It. Amazing, not my style of music, but wow.
In this age of digital music it's nice to hear live acoustic recordings :D Very well done guys. Professional looking video too :D I have to play with myself, my brother has no concept of playing in time and key hahaha
Hello Fire and Flame :)
Like i already told you - This is very nice to listen to and very well made and the version here sounds sure better then the youtube version. So i think there is no need to tell you again how cool the voices come and the guitars and things sound to me. And sure no reason to tell you again how cool you both sounds together..... :)
All the best to you both
stay tuned
joe
...forgot to mention: I was also thinking (hoping?) to hear a cover of Nirvana's song... I have never heard of another "come as you are" and I don't know the original.
And of course after listening to this beautiful rendition I won't look for the original version: it can't beat this one!
Ciao, Domenico
Hi Epic,
This is a beauty. Simple.
It is really refreshing to hear such "simple" track here: few instruments but very well played, beautiful work on the vocals.
I liked everything: bravo!
Ciao, Domenico
tres belle chanson et tres pro bravo
Goosebumps all over as soon as it starts. Your brother has a magical voice and you have magical fingers, ears & voice. It's real, classic, true, pure Music. Awesome work my friend. I want to come up with something really special to collab with you... I know you are busy right now, but yeah, i'll buzz you soon about that.
Cheers!!
-EB
How good it is to listen to some real music....done with big talent...for something done on an overnight project, this is really something special ER.....Definite fav for me...really enjoyed the listen..give your Bro a high 5 for me...and take a bow yourself...I`m just celebrating St Paddys with a glass of Killkenny Cream Ale...and I raise my glass in a toast to you...superb job guys.......Ed
All around, great track! Don't know the original, but yours is a real beauty. Superb Instruments and of course, vocals.
Cheers,
Scott
dunno the original, but i do know this is awesome. You guys are quickly becoming one of the best artists on here in my opinion. Certainly one of the best in this genre in everyones opinion surely haha
Keep up the good work man :D
Nice and clean. Not familiar with the original, but I enjoyed this. Your brother's voice is nice, nice subtle harmonies. I was swaying along. Very encouraging and uplifting. Kudos guys.
Amazing vocals and flow. Reminded me of some famous church bands. Keep it up! I might need some mastering done here in the near future.
Another great production! dont know the original but you nailed it lol...love the stereo sound of the live guitars
this kicks butt guys. you did this overnight, that's impressive and deserves a hats off at the least.
very natural sounding mix and that's some excellent singing being done by your brother. please give my compliments to him. as for you and how you took care of everything else the way you did: hats off! :)
You boys are Heaven Sent!! PURELY BEAUTIFUL!! There are no words on Earth that can describe this MASTERPIECE GEM! One would have to speak with God for Heavenly words to describe this track. BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO! Standing Ovation....serious! Please keep your tracks coming!
Great I've got some Ideas!
I don't know the original, and before I read the description, I was thinking (maybe hoping) it would be a cover of the Nirvana song. Nothing near though. I think your performances and recordings or top notch on this! The cello sound in there is a very nice fit for the mix. Cool vocal harmonies and very present vocals in general. I wouldn't normally chose to listen to music like this, but you've done an excellent job!
I'm not familiar with the original but I must say this version is pretty awesome. Nicely recorded guitar and vocals and the mix sounds great. Nice performance by both of you.
Nice work fellas!
Wayne
I'm not able to say more than before...this family is a professional music labor...Could be an awesome feeling to make musics with the closest ones...anywhere, any time...
Respect, Danke
hi there. I really liked the simplicity of your version after listening to the 'original' one. They seem playing violins and pianos but I do not like the sound of the final production, it's simply plastic sounding and overproduced (and 'epic' for sure lol). Probably there's some original acoustic version of this song available somewhere from them, I do not know. If not it's good you created it! Your arrangement is quite gentle, I liked the use of string instruments and some nice percussion additions. Again I would preffer less limiting and clearer sound but after listening to original I completely understand your vision.
Really fine performance and arrangement! Congrats, A.
Very good cover version. I like the harmonies.
Cru
I mean it could be a process. It wouldn't have to be done fast. Just record over time!
Dude I would love to collaborate. Love your voice(s).
