Listen To Rosina Dead Vegas Trek Rock Song By MORTradio At Looperman.com

Thanks for taking the time to listen to the track, and for your feedback and comment. The track is not perfect, but I (we) do believe that overall it is an great track, and we are looking forward to doing more.

The thing that appealed to me most in the apocalyptic story "The Stand" was the use of Las Vegas, not only for the symbolism of it being the dwelling for Flagg and the "bad" people, but also that it is place where the final battle for mankind (humanity, hope, etc.) takes place. I spent many years in Las Vegas (and still do spend a lot of time there), and my personal belief is that it beats out any other city in overall excitement, weirdness, and bad craziness.

Regarding the living dead existing in a dry desert climate, I won't go into my theories about that in this forum (since it is really not the proper place). I will say that if a zombie apocalypse were to take place, the dead would probably do well in the dry climate of the desert (since water/moisture is destructive to dead tissue....don't ask how I know, since that is a whole other topic).

I, too, have been interesting in the living dead for many years (and that is many, many, many years), and it is always cool to meet another fan of the living dead.

Thanks for the fav of the track, and as I stated in my last comment, I hope that this year's Halloween horror movie sound track forum thread will be up and running soon enough.

Thanks for your comments and feedback. We are hoping that as time goes on the mixing well become better, and that we will be able to branch out more.

Thanks very much for your comment and feedback. We hope to submit more soon.

Thank you for your feedback. I think overall the track works as it experiments with a few different genres. It was somewhat edited with the mindset of someone splicing together different film takes (hence why I classify this track more as "Cinema Rock"). The main goal, though, is that will each submission to Looperman, each track becomes better because of the constructive criticism.

Thanks again for your post.

Thanks for the feedback, critique, and encouragement. You are probably right regarding the timing being slightly off. Maybe not enough to completely ruin the track, but enough to perhaps hinder it nonetheless. It is something I have put into my notes to be more aware of when constructing other tracks (which hopefully will be soon when time permits).

As always, we all thank you for your support and positive vibes. After hearing our last collaboration, as well as the other great collaboration with fellow Looperman artists, we are big fans of your work and talent, and hope to hear more from you as well.

Thank you for your comment. Yes, Las Vegas has always been an inspiration to me, and it is a great town that is loved by all of us here at MORTradio. This track is experimental in a few ways, and if I had the chance to label it properly, I would have listed it under "Cinematic Rock". I would by lying if I said that it didn't still need some work, and I take all feedback seriously so that future endeavors will be even more successful.

I am glad that we have our dialogue so we may have this open discussion regarding this track. Believe me (us) when I say that I take your feedback seriously, and give complete credence to each point you make. I was at no time angered, or upset, by your criticism regarding this track. My only concern was to be taken seriously as to the effort put forth by any projects done by me and/or MORTradio. Although I am humbled by many of the musical talent that resides on Looperman, I do nonetheless put for serious work when submitting to Looperman, if for any other reason, out of respect for them.

You have great experience and an exceptional talent, and therefore when you have something to say about my work I put forth on Looperman, I am definitely going to listen. As I said in my earlier comment, each of your points regarding this particular track were valid, and I took each one of them sincerely. Trial and error is the name of the game, and with each track, I hope to gain a bit more insight and knowledge from individuals such as yourself.

I will continue to enjoy your work and will always welcome all your advice and comments.

Wow.

What an completely creative and unique forum thread. Obviously, your forum thread concept (a suggested film scenario and artist 'fill-in' the soundtrack) is not limited to the "zombie apocalypse", but I definitely wouldn't mind if it was (I am biased, as you probably could tell).

You set the general scenario, and the soundtrack began to form from various Looperman artist, each one with their own taken on the general scenario you created. Excellent idea, and one that could actually work for someone that is creating an independent, guerrilla, low budget film.

Again, this is why Looperman and Creative Commons are so great, because it allows so many people to come together to create unique visuals and soundscapes.

Bravo to you.

I (we) don't feel at all as though you were "bashing" the track that I submitted. You took the time to evaluate the track, and gave your input, which we could not thannk you enough for. Obviously, with your own personal background in music, your input is more than valid in its regards, and if I was to re-edit the track, I would definitely use your points in my notes regarding any re-working of this track.

Nonetheless, although your critical points are valid, I do feel as though you are dismissive of the entire track as though it was thrown together for shit and giggles, which was far from the case. It is experimental, that is for sure, and being experimental, there is always a chance that certain aspects of the track would not work. Perhaps the lack of focus comes from the cinematic editing mindset that I have during editing. Perhaps I look at musical loops as filmed scenes that can be edited together to get a character from point A to point B. I am not saying that is the right way to edit musical tracks, but it was how I was looking at it during the making of it.

On a side note, my history of music is limited to playing banjo (Gibson Mastertone) for approximately 20 years, and bass (Hofner Violin Bass) for about half that time. I wanted to learn guitar more (my biggest influence was Poison Ivy from The Cramps), but work seemed to suck up most of my time, so that fell to the waist side. Actually working with a computer audio mixer has only be about a year and a half. As far as joining the Looperman site, I am a noob (less than six months).

Anyway, enough of my long winded rambling. Again, thanks for your input and feedback, and for listening to the track.

Thank you for allow your creative loops to be use in this track. Your loops really stand out (at least for us), and we are hoping to use more of your loops, and hope we will hear more from you as as well.

Thanks again.

Thanks for you feedback regarding this track. It is an obvious statement when I say that the only reason that this track even exist (good or bad) is because of the creativity of many people who contribute to this site. I think much of the thanks goes to them.

Thanks also for taking the time out to actually read the MORTradio profile. Yes, all of us here at MORTradio are morticians (all eight of us, licensed in embalming and funeral directing). The show "Six Feet Under" does give a tiny glimpse in the world of undertaking, but it really isn't that accurate. None of us here really watched the show that much since we are living it. Actually, we watched a lot more of the reality series "Family Plots" since we all knew the people and what they were really like (at least on a professional level). You are right when you say that there is death around us each day, but like they say, darkness always makes the light so much brighter.

I have listened to your tracks as well, and have always enjoyed the ones I have heard. I hope you will continue to submit so we can here more.

P.S. This week we are playing Siouxsie and the Banshees in the preprooms we go to (my favorite by them is "Dear Prudence"). Maybe I am wrong, but I get a feeling you are a Siouxsie and the Banshee fan....

Thanks for taking the time out and listening to the track, and for giving us your feedback regarding the track. As I had said in an earlier reply, this was an experimental track. I do have to admit that there are weak points in the track, but overall works.

I do not know if you are questioning whether a discussion is what brought forth me creating the track, but that is the actual reason. A lot of our conversations while we are working at various mortuaries are regarding movies (usually horror), and obviously the Romero zombie world (yes, we all actually went to the Zombie Run at Comic Con a couple of years ago). Again, as described in the track's description, the whole idea came from what we thought would look cool on film if a zombie apocalypse happened in Las Vegas. Weird, yes, but true. I wish I could have labeled the track under the category of "Cinematic Rock" because that what I feel it is. Maybe I am wrong for calling it that, but that was my concept nonetheless.

Lastly, the bass additions do not announce another track. Maybe they should? hmmm....

Thanks again for your time and feedback. Looking forward to more discussions.

P.S. Just finished listening to your soundcloud track "Oceanically - Vegas Hotel (feat Promenade)". Very cool. Very dark and David Lynchish.

Thank you for your comment. Although we here at MORTradio put a lot of work into this track, it is obvious that a great amount of the credit also goes to the many artists that have contributed to Looperman. Without them, this track would not exist.
