If you have time take a listen and give DanGoldstein some feedback.
Didn´t watch the painting at listen, cause i just wanted to hear it pure and maybe later with colors :) .....
All i hear is a cool work. I am realy in a way in love with this little one but i couldn´t emagination any picture, so i will wonder whatkind of picture you used to get inspitationed to create cool music in this special style.
Sounds like you had fun while work and thats always a good thing.
Hi, Joe. I'm glad you had a chance to listen to this. the picture is by Karsten, a fellow looper, also from Germany. I am still refining this idea of notes relating to colors, and maybe rhythmic relationships to the textures of the painting etc. lots of fun! best regards. Dan
hi again Dan and many thanks for interesting reply. I am glad that you liked Oraison! Around 15 years ago I became totally obsessed with Messiaen when studied music. At a time I had a chance to play several of his organ works, also I still own some amount of CD recordings. I know that Kent Nagano is considered as one of the most outstanding performers of his orchestral works.
It takes some amount of patience to 'be with' regarding to such a long phrasing indeed but the pieces are in fact quite traditional designed melodically and harmonically and therefore very listenable in my opinion. It's a sacred music at the very core, the connection with the visuals present in Cristianity is always very prominent.
so I keep going posting links again haha hope you do not mind...
All the best greetings to you, Alex
Dear Alex,
it has been sometime since I have heard from you and I hope you are well and productive. your comments and insights are always very much appreciated. I look forward to listening to lots of Messiaen, and lots more promenade2239. Regards, Dan
This is super interesting, i think with some live instruments like drums and guitar this could be really epic.
At 2:26 to have some awesome rock chorus would be really cool.
BUT with that said this is awesome on its own really cool funky track :D
hi Dan
the painting attached is very fine, I really like it - especially the sky textures. To me the listening experience outside looperman is always different - being detached from everyday blue and grey also many waveform-shape variations always in green and orange I can focus on the sound itself much better. But seriously the piece you composed here is interesting, fluctuating. It is reminding me of an improvised collective drumming for some reason (with nice electronic additions at places). The first part makes me think of old electonic instruments like Ondes Martenot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRJmJzWibzA or Theremin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5qf9O6c20oprobably probably because of melancholic tone of some melodies present inside that section of your track. What kind of sound engine did you use? Anyway it was very nice!
Best to you, Alex
There is a synth that is about 14 years old called 3xOsc in FL Studio. There is also the FL Studio "minisynth" that I used for a few loops. I also used an external synth that had some following back in the 1970s and 1980s by BOSS called Dr. Synth (DS-230).
Oraison is amazing. It is music for a somewhat more patient generation, I think, than ours, but the build is subtle and amazing. thanks for reminding me about Messiaen. i dated for a while the sister of a modern conductor who became quite known for his recording of messiaen. do you know the conductor Nagano?
Being a watercolor painter I found this quite interesting and a great approach to songwriting. You always do seem to bring thought to the forefront of your music.
Lately I've been mixing the paint on the paper and abstractly letting it happen rather than planning it out and it being structured and rigid. That type of approach can bleed onto music making and allow that to more of a freestyle blending of sounds and timings....
When blending watercolor paints so much comes into play, the paints interact differently, the amount of water, the type of paper... These can be analogous in music aspects I suppose. Your song is such a good example. There is tonal depth, a low heartbeat, humanizing aspect behind to begin with. The part around 45 seconds was cool. Reminded me of sci-fi music, hits on the psychological side of how music can affect people.
All round interesting piece. I listened to this several times, freaked me out a bit like psychological torture music, lol.
there are a lot of analogies to be drawn. I totally agree. For better or worse, finding these techniques to express my reactions to the art in musical terms is what make me tick.
My new girlfriend told me that I should give up the whole thing. She thinks folks don't want to be distracted by music when they are focusing on visual art! She is probably right, but I will press on!
I'm always in favour of that sort of experiments and I think that in this case the connections between sounds and colors were established very well. Good job mate!
if that is the case i'm happy. i've been doing a lot of experimenting lately and stepping outside my comfort zone with new sounds and genres. at the end of the day, it is about being patient and allowing a track come into fullness. I have not had that patience lately and I'm afraid it is evident in the work. Thanks for your comment.
ez midisparks
very harsh audio experimentation you got there
defo captures a raw emotion from the art from karsen
took a few listens which is always a good thing in my opinion
that theremin kinda vibe very eerie
in a good way

Description : working on a more rock heavy metal crossover. I try to get it working. I got lots of insparation from here on LM, looking for any advice that would help me to get closer. I left the beat in the end open, so you can try it out. guit, synth or vox, etc....
Chords:
I B I D I E I F# I
Description : This is my participation to the experiment of 2Sisters...hope it goes all right..! It has been a great joy to work with such a beautiful musical composition and with this great performance by Manuela. Thank you dear ladies for your kind offer of this material. Hope you will like it.
Description : One of those tracks you put your headphones on and your off too fantasy land for bit.Its all over the music spectrum on this track.*no foul language but does have lyrics that contain adult language
Description : Every instrument is performed and recorder live. Piano, double bass, drums.
Another try from my horror jazz collective.
Instruments Used:
-"LIRA" upright piano (MADE IN USSR 1973)
-"BLAST CULT" upright bass (MADE IN USA 2016)
-TAMA Imperial Star + Pearl OMAR HAKIM snare + Various Ziljian cymbals.
Description : Many of strangeness here ....
A link between two musical worlds quite different but united in this message of harmony.
"Silverpaw" (former Looperman) had in the depths of one of its hard drives, this arrangement that I made the past year: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/120846
He decided to bring this theme, with a text and this voice ....
Very surreal but I really enjoyed ....
Description : I am quite open to all kind of music out there. This time I had some Church organ pipes lying around. With the help of 2nick8 and IMHO one of his best songs out there I put him into a big room and let the organs speak. Yes, maybe weird, maybe different, maybe 2nick8 will throw some egg against me ... I did it. What do you all think of it? (I changed the Genre to "Weird" in the meantime but "Experimental" would do also.
Description : I started out making this track a Vocal track, then it turned into a Chillout track but, now I'd say DubJazz, PsychoFunk or Weird. You be the Judge.
Description : This track is only magmatic chaos hanging on a simple rhythmic skeleton. I had fun shaping and mixing the most disgusting electronic slurry.
Description : Hey guys! Well, this is the first time I upload a song with my voice. I have to confess that this is not a style I usually sing. And, as an extra point, this is my first song in english. My native language is spanish, my english is not perfect, so sorry for mistakes (grammar, pronunciation, etc). Well, about lyrics, I explain the story on description of the instrumental version. If you want to read the story or hear the instrumental track, go here [ https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/146653 ]. This song was made on Magix Music Maker 2013 Premium and Adobe Audition 3.0. I hope you like it. Thanks! SUN & MOON... FIRE & ICE HEART... LIGHT & DARK FUSION...
Description : I haven't done anything in awhile. I got tired of screwing with this so just did some gain staging & panning & slapped it on here. It definitely sounds like something I would do.
Description : I wanted to do something different, TheFrenz sent me the stems to his excellent track 'Transformer' - And only one of the several versions of the track, using many of the same elements each time.
So I threw my hat in the ring with a version of my own, taking the elements of Transformer and doing some transforming. It only makes the song title that much more awesome. Music can certainly be transformed, taken to its next form...and the music can also be what transforms US. Pretty deep, man.
Description : So i did a bit of sound design on an interview i watched (its not a film or anything with reserved rights so Looper Admin finna chill out,lol)
its of a lady who committed a crime of passion, tortured her BF for 3 days before killing him because he had "snitched" and put many people in Jail.she shows no remorse at all and is presentably a very highly intelligent individual..this is a project i did.
basically some cinematic ambiance to accompany the tone of the convo and at the end i just put some simple loops of strings,arps and a nice killer guitar...didnt work hard on the drums tho..i dont know what genre this is so i will put it under "weird" then sit in a corner and cry coz no one listens to weird stuff lol
peace Loopers

This is extremely colorful music, Messiaen developed his own musical language based on 7 modes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_of_limited_transposition Oraison is definitely very contemplative, it actually sounds quite similar to the most ethereal section from the organ cycle La Nativité du Seigneur (1935) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5umJQZgQvU It is very characteristic sound for his earlier works.
It takes some amount of patience to 'be with' regarding to such a long phrasing indeed but the pieces are in fact quite traditional designed melodically and harmonically and therefore very listenable in my opinion. It's a sacred music at the very core, the connection with the visuals present in Cristianity is always very prominent.

I actually wrote a chorus section in last track I did - "metal bass guitar
are you hearing the gothic "chorus of doom" type thing (like they add in movie tracks when the Antichrist has just done something really evil?
