Listen To Secrets Of Resonance Featuring Megapaul Rock Song By Promenade2239 | Looperman

Thanks man!

Alex

haha thanks again for the comment:D

Hey Megapaul!

Firstly it's really great to hear from you! I'm happy that you liked this one. Thanks for good words! I truly appreciate that.
I must say that I spent quite a lot of time listening to different musicians on here and your guitar productions are really impressive. I hope we could do a serious collab sometime in the future as I progress with my keyb. skills and stylistic playing.

Best Greetings! Alex

thank you Oceanically.

Interesting that you found this one chilled. But it's great to know because usually I try my best to keep everything gentle and not that heavy:) Basically there are 3 main sound sources here: Megapaul's guitars (loops), midi drum performances from EZdrummer and all the rest (made using Roland synth): bassline, el. piano, backgrounds, funky synth (which is actually a clavinet) and guitar sort of solo in the middle as well as Theremin (lol). I do not think I played the clavinet that good as I really want this time(I had to quantize the timing of the audio) - I am still learning how to play properly all this funky stuff.

Thanks again for nice review! Glad you liked the track.
Alex

thank you silverman for nice words.

Just trying to figure out how the road you mentioned looks like - I did a search for some images from this place. It looks truly amazing. I do not make late night car driving that much as I seem to function in a very normal way at the moment. Apparently.

Thank you again for your comments. It is appreciated.

thanks for your comment! in order to put the vocals I will probably need to sing myself or go and find someone to make the vocal line for me. It's still possible haha.

Thanks again!

Aleksander

Hey Anders!

Thanks a lot for very nice words. Yes, indeed I picked up some Megapaul's guitars that I downloaded earlier and started adding different elements. There's no really a concrete and very predictable structure here as I am not really listening to so called 'mainstream' too much now. That's why it eventually turned unexpected directions throughout the track. Just trying very different things on keys but of course with respect to the other instruments (drums are from EZdrummer plugin).

Thank you again!

Best, Alex

Thank you Scott!

I much appreciate your very nice comments!

Thank you again,
Alex

thanks a lot for nice words man.

Haha it is not a real Theremin (from around 1:28) but just a Roland Juno Di theremin preset. I decided to use this sound on the top as it blends in nicely with other synth-guitar and background ambient sounds in the lower range. Overall it was entirely made on the same roland sound engine. And of course I tried to stick with the Megapaul's guitar colors as possible.

really glad you liked this production.

best, alex

Thank you so much Ed!

Megapaul is probably one of the greatest and most inspiring discoveries of mine on this site as he produced a great amount of funky guitar loops.
So just trying out myself on the loops I downloaded when joining the site few months ago.

Sadly collab is not working anytime... creative process can't be rationally controlled I guess... I might be totally wrong though - correct me if so!

Thank you again for very kind feedback and making this one a favourite of you! I really appreciate that and am so happy you liked this production! Alex

thank you so much my friend! At least I proved I can play Theremin hahaha. Great to see you again!

All the best to you, Alex

Thank you so much Joe!

Megapaul's guitars are truly great indeed!

It's not only an usual loop combination as it contains a huge amount of my hard keyb. work. I intend to make more music like this in the future.

I am really happy you liked this one!

Thank you again,

Alex

Thank you Wayne!

Firstly I am happy you liked the drumming. It's from EZ of course and it is some fine funk performance with lots of cool ghost/dead notes.
I think it fits perfectly Megapauls style which is extremly funky, here is the list of loops I used:

Pills and Potatos:

Now I use DT Swiss:

Orange Pudel Solo:
http://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/61318/orange-pudel-solo-guitar-85bpm-by-megapaul-free-85bpm-reggae-electric-guitar-loop

Some of them are played much faster though (the actual tempo is 110bpm). All the rest is me playing Roland synth.

I listened to all (over 200) Megapaul's loops and am so impressed of the quality of his guitar work.
For sure I will try do more in a rock area as I only used only a few of his loops here (which I downloaded earlier). I do not play guitars of course so I will always need someone to make them for me if the genre is anywhere close to rock. I guess this one is still more a funk-rock or simply fusion.

Thank you again for some nice words. Always appreciated!

Best to you, Alex

Thanks a lot Dan for checking this one out and your nice comments! - some of the new equipment seems to really work for me now as I spent on this only 2,5h. It's relatively a short track but I must say I can work much easier now.

Thank you again and best to you, Alex

Thanks a lot soundhound! Really happy you liked this production. Much more proper 'fusion' this time from me haha:)

Thank you again!

Alex

Thanks a lot! I must say I am not really into a proper rock genre too much, more into older fusion and some modern chillout haha... but indeed Megapaul's fine guitars really make this track!

Thank you for some good words. It's appreciated.
Alex

Hi,

I am happy you had a chance to listen to this as it might be one of my better works so far, who knows... haha. Definitely more a very proper funky-rock (fusion?) this time haha...
Firstly it's probably because of the use of new equipment - Roland Juno Di for electric piano, electric piano bass, clavinet, background Teremin- like sounds... I was finally able to play some guitar as well as Roland has some very good 'crunchy' and different 'overdriven' guitar sounds. Of course I can't play it that good as Megapaul - it will always sound very artificial from the keys but anyway I tried to create very corresponding guitar 'soundscape' to the one from his loop http://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/80272/pills-and-potatos-85bpm-a-by-megapaul-free-85bpm-weird-electric-guitar-loop (which is introduced at the beginning of this track) as possible. So I play the guitar in here (from around 1:16) haha. And yes, I think I will gradually be able to create much better structured compositions in opposite to my usual synth jams haha. As for the math matters I must say that I am now becoming aware of this as well (3+3+2, 3+2+3, 2+3+3 is 8, it was my rhythmic concept for the bassline haha - with some variations, as well as playing in major tenths).
It's much easier to write the pieces now, I do not need to struggle so much with midi latency and other plugin issues. It feels more natural - it's a real instrument anyway....

Again many thanks for nice words and adding this one to your favourites!
Glad I could provide some enjoyable moments for you.

Alex
