Description : Guys, I have been asked again to do another track for another friend's son.
He has asked me to do the track with an eighties heavy ascent.
I have come up with this I hope you all like it.
Description : This is for my friend Danke who can't sleep at night. Yes, heat, heat...I guess Africa is hotter, but don't let the title and intro as well, deceive you! This is not African music nor the imitation of it. It's just a picture of starry African sky at night, painted with my european musical sensibilities and some imagination. So this is for Danke in the first place and then maybe for anyone who would like to fall asleep.:)...
Good night!:)
Description : Dear Loopers...Let Ed and me take you to the world of yet another musical fantasy born out of our latest collab efforts. Ed provided basic structure of the track with ever solid rhythm section, tasty synths and vocal pads while I took
on a role of pretending to be multi-instrumentalist again by smuggling in some sweet strings, bulgarian flute, celtic harp,
unexpectedly blurry piano and this time a tiny bit of real live acoustic guitar...what an adventure for a vst/keyboard guy..:) As always
my sincere thanks to Ed not only for letting me enjoy his great musical company but also for still standing as one of the firm pillars of Looperman society !
Description : Un tema sencillo, suave. Espero que les guste.
Description : I just painted a picture of abandoned sanctuary and I thought it could sound like this...:)
Description : I went to the beach and set up my stereo recording mic under a gazebo near it (I apologize for some of the air gusts being recorded haha; we had a strong SE wind that day :P Tried my best to place it out of the wind); wanted to record myself playing live and do some cheesy roleplay in the process - wanted to make it feel like the listener was sitting there beside me. ** This is what the beach looks like: http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/destinations/80/south_padre_island_main.jpg **
Lo and behold, I'm about halfway through the song when my buddy Mark, a friend from college, heard me singing and decided to join me (he seems to never part with his guitar lol).
The expression on his face was that of confusion as to why I had my mic with me and a audio-capturing device, which I plugged into an outdoor electrical plug that the gazebo owners installed lol (I've done recordings like this before but didn't like the results; we messed up a little at the end but I was like meh it's not bad anyways.) but I'm glad he didn't say it out loud or it would have ruined the recording lol. Luckily, I was playing a song he and I wrote together some time ago, so he was able to just jump right in. He's a great guitar player.
Even though it was a little awkward at the end since we hadn't seen each other for like 4 months (you might be able to tell by the way I responded to his "thats so cool" comment haha), I think it turned out just fine. It was a lovely evening and the clouds were all poofy and happy. Lots of people were there too, though I made sure to sit far away from all of them. Ahh, it was a beautiful day. I'm glad I live by the ocean :P * Just kidding, I recorded this in my studio; though I do live close to the water, this was not recorded there :P I did everything, down to the wind blowing into the mic, except for the sound of water and the kids in the background. I got those sounds here: freesfx.co.uk/login/
The guitars and vocals were one-takes to give a more realistic feel. No pitch-correction or autotune. Just wanted to try making another soundscape (or whatever you want to call this :P) about what it's like to live by the ocean.

Description : Guys, I've Just looked at my old music archives and thought to bring some of them out for you guys to listen to.
I've made this track in loving memory of my dear brother who sadly died of cancer. He was my rock, my confidant I am already missing him.
I hope you enjoy it if you do then please leave me a comment.

Description : Glen Cloy is one of the glens of Antrim (Tumbleweed's county) in Northern Ireland. The little people, actualy fairies, populate all of them and they all have very old ghost stories that have been told for centuries (and still are)...This one is about Shaman of old and his journeys through the spiritual world...That sums up what Ed told me about the concept for our 7th (how convenient^^) collab work. The main core of the track is Ed's work and the original length was 5:18, but I wouldn't have been Orlando if I didn't tempt to compose my longest intro to date (3:10) to inject my own fantasies about little creatures of Glen Cloy (soft spot for spiritual world..hehe..). Other than that I also added some synths arrangements and vocal samples for the rest of the track and probably ruined it a bit..haha..but that's how collabs are sometimes..:)^^.....All my thanks to Ed...and Irish ghosts ofcourse...
Description : Guys, I've Just looked at my old music archives.
Ive stumbled upon this free Vst called Piano one.
I have never experienced sounds so true to a real piano, Ive paid a lot of money to a very well-known company for such vst which Ive never used because it did not sound like a piano.
The music of this track is replicated; However, the piano sounds are done with this vst.
I thought to share this little gem with you guys.
neovst.com/piano-one/
Fantastic and faved. I think everyone else has said enough.
Sounded like a good opportunity to hear something a bit older on your page, and I'm glad that I found this one! It is very sonically deep, and interesting in a visual way.
This does have the feel of an opium dream, which is something I saw that you mentioned. I think that has been invading my nights quite a bit in the last couple of weeks (tis the season). It has that sort of confusing yet penetrating vibe.
Lots of jazzy elements in here, which make it also somewhat fun! Feels a bit like something from Eno's "Nerve Net" album, or even some from Matt Johnson/The The... neither of those could ever be a bad thing to my ears! Something is definitely very fusion-like in here.
The "Night Train" aspect of the title made me thing of Guns and Roses, which is a bit funny considering the style of your song. Can't seem to get past that part of my youth, blaring a GnR tape in my walkman over and over again... surprised my ears are as good as they are still!
Thanks for sharing this groovy piece! Very cool!
I does give you the sensation of movement. As you were traveling in a train. Nice work . PDMuzak
the intro is great love the effect putted here. its me or there are some trap elements in this track.
anyway nice track was a pleasure to listen it 5 times while I write this comment
Regreetings.
Sorry to hear you're tired all the time. I've also been struggling this week to do any decent music after work because of pretty much falling asleep in the studio listening back to tracks.
"my creative juices are not flowing as they were"
They certainly were on this one. I'd be proud to have come up with this track.
Also part of the problem with the sharp and piercing noises is the level of the track. It's basically all too loud, as you can see from the waveform. Try just turning it all down at the end of the mix (ie the master). I assume this one must be "going into the red" ie introducing some clipping and digital distortion. Having no clipping at all will make for a smoother listen. Hey, it's not extreme metal...
Congrats again.
Don`t know how I missed this one earlier...but I miss a lot of music time this time of year....even though its totally unlike it, the intro reminded me just a tad of an original oldie (shuffle blues) called Night Train (used to play covers of it it days long gone)....love the big breat power & complimentary train sound fx....and the way you have wrapped it all up musically with the chugging synth and bass pulse...Its been said already, but this is indeed really creative stuff mate...and it turns out to be great listening music too....bravo....definite fav...Ed
Yo.
I played a few tracks on here, looking for something to comment on, and yours really stood out to me.
0:23 you kick in with a cool groove and then a much fatter beat at 0:26. That's pretty badass, actually. This has some serious vibe.
1:03 intersting change.
Some of the high end white noise stuff is a bit too sharp and piercing for my ears.
1:25 cool transition back down into the fat verse beat.
This is really creative stuff.
More thoughts from me another time, provided you reply, which you didn't last time.
Nice track thanks for sharing.
Hey there mate...Great groove you've got going on here man,the reason this works so well is it's not trying to out think itself,there's a cool theme running through the whole piece and all the elements reflect it resulting in great continuity!...I will mention here your post in the forums about 'losing one's mojo' as it's directly relates to this track where you obviously haven't lost your mojo...........You and I are from the same generation we've had plenty of time to figure out truth from fiction and all the rest of life's bullshit,and there's one thing that is crystal clear to me,especially when it comes to the creative process,there is no future,there is only the past and the now,sure we extrapolate and project as humans do but it's in the rumination of ideas,concepts and actions that we find ourselves....it's in front of us all the time,it's that ant your about to step on,or consequently not step on,it's in that fluctuating beat that's going on behind your eyes,for instance you mentioned you had a lot of unfinished tracks you were about to bin,somewhere among all that stuff is a passage or phrase that is worth keeping,try finding it,copy and paste it into a new track slot then delete everything else.....to me making music is like milking a cow (without any machinery! lol)you have to sit down with a bucket and stool an get to it and in that process barring accidents you'll end up with something,sorry if I got a little tangential here,this is a great track with plenty of great mojo!..cheers Dave :)
Very creative stuff here!
I'm travelling along the music (in my mind - I should actually be asleep and not killing sleeping time in front of the computer) and enjoying the trip.
You are one of those musical picture painters here I gather, this is even more like a movie though.
Very talented.
Cheers/ SJ =)
Nice work ;)
Lots of stuff going on here all the way through, very dynamic and creative beats always evolving i specially enjoyed that part from 2:40 onwards very cool indeed although that sax at 2:45 is causing some distortion on my monitors.
Overall is a very creative ambient track which in my opinion only needs some adjusting on the levels here and there.
I like it very much.
Peace
WB
Really nice ambient work! I like the subtle hints and references to a train rain with the little samples you used (like the sound of steam and engine) Really cleverly done!
Hi hoe Silver,
Mate, Ive just about to listen to your new track you moved it?
Playing hide and seek are we?
dang i was really enjoying it! but then the beat dropped and it sort of changed keys or something ( not sure )
but still - - - great intro ! ! !
Wow, how did you do those cool effects to the synths? That's SICK. Awesome, I mean. Wow. Very ambient, a little on the odd side but that's not a bad thing :P Very original work. One thing that stood out to me was the drums were a little loud and harsh on the high end for me, but thats just me :P Maybe turning them down just a hair will help allow you to raise the overall volume without making it uncomfortable for the listener.
Cheers,
ER
Mr. Silverman!
Straight through from a Tarantino soundtrack...:-)
Fabulous music right here...got that train feeling...we made a track with Ed (Tumbleweed) in same manner...just staring out the window and telling stories from the past and hoping the good ones from the future...
Respect and handshake, Danke
Hi ho Silver,
Havent you got a bed to go to!!!!
I like how the rhythm and the bass mimic a locamotive. Great sounds, sax equates to the horn, you even make it sound like a steam locomotive. The subtle placement of guitar is awesome as well. The bass line is right out of the seventies (Quiet Sun) . Awesome creative use of minimalism to represent a visual idea using sound, brilliant my friend.

Great sounding track, first time reviewing a Ambient track, didn't know what to expect (I gotta expand mt horizons)
The mix is knocking great job.
Really good sound and groove, not sure about Ambient
more of a chill or dance groove...
But it's nothing but some Music so call it what you like...
Why everything has to be in a box, is way below the talent
that is needed to make Music anyway...
Cool track...
Peace...TG.
I have made this track specially for you mate I hope you like it.

Hi hoe Silver,
Wow mate, when did you upload it?
Yes, I must say this is your best work so far.
It constructed very nicely and tastefully.
The only problem I have with it, I cannot kill it ????
Brilliant .favs it goes
Well done
Jamid
Fabulous...incredible...you transformed the feeling of night train ride into a soundpicture so incredibly well that this is unbelievable....I hope I'm not too generous if I say this is probably your best work to date!
Compliments and respect______Orlando
that was great. It sounds so heavy.
Aswome track man
