Listen To Yours Within -ft NanuNanu Electronic Song By ValveDriver At Looperman.com

Marco, Hello.

To be honest with you, I forgot about this song! I made this one in a dark and difficult time in my life, and kind of just pushed it out of my memory with everything surrounding it. I had to go back and listen to it again.

I think, as far as the guitars go, there could be some adjusting. I may revisit this one for the mixing.

I think the blending of rock and electronic is more instinctual than a conscious effort. I've listened to rock and metal since I was a kid in the 70's, so it's become ingrained into how I hear music. Therefore, it comes through in my own creations, no mater which genre I work in. Which, honestly, is perfectly fine by me.

Marco, thank you for taking the time to go back through some of my older works. Not only to listen, but to comment as well. It's greatly appreciated.

Take care.
Aaron

Dan, a late reply is better than no reply at all, right? For this, I apologize.

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it.

Take care. V.

Orlando, how are you? Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you for the kind words. It's good to know it kept you focused. That's actually something I worry about with my tracks. That they get boring or too repetitive. So, usefull feedback from you, sir!

Thank you, again.
Take care.
Aaron

Brado, thanks for listening and commenting.

I'm glad you liked this one. Thanks for bringing the mids to my attention. I'll get back in there and tweak them a bit.

Take care.
Sloe.

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Take care.

Thank you.

Mister Cruman-chu! How are things going, my friend? Well, I hope.

I had to look up Phrygian Scale. What with me just being the Jackson Pollak of sounds. Isplash a bunch on the canvas, an somehow it all comes out right, as if by chance. Now that I don't have a family surrounding me at all times, I'm starting to find the time to learn all the "good stuff".

It's a damn shame about Mr. Bowie. But this last album and the events surrounding it just further boosted my respect for him as an artist. Instead of going out crying in a media circus sideshow, he turned his own death into his final work of art. And that is fucking class right there.

Take care, mi amigo.
Slöé.

PK, what's up, man? Sorry for the super late reply. Life's been a whirlwind!

Folk metal us freakin' awesome...if it's done well. Admittedly, I haven't delved too deeply into the genre, but that which I've heard is pretty damned cool. I will definitely check out Dalariada. I'm always up for finding new music! Thanks for the suggestion!

I do use VST guitar. I had bought a Warlock with the intent to learn, and use, but the Ex had other plans. However, I'm coming up on a possible replacement for it, now that the smoke is starting to clear.

Thanks for the kindness, my friend. As always, it's appreciated.

Take care.
Aaron.

What's happnin' Spiv?

Stripper music isn't necessarily my scene either. But a friend who used to be one wanted me to make a track just for her so she could work it into a private routine for her husband. Lucky summbitch right there!

I don't take it wrong at all, mister. I wouldn't go so far as to say I know what I'm doing, as much as I'm learning along the way. But, I suppose that applies to all aspects of life, doesn't it?

Thanks for the listen, and the comment. Your feedback is always appreciated. No matter what you say. And yes, honesty IS the best policy!

I hope you're having a good Thanksgiving....if you do that sort of thing.

Take care, man.

Aaron.

Danke! What's happnin' Mister?

I'm glad it finally got you! This one is definitely an electrorock with my special touch. I'm thinking about remixing it into a more Dub style without the guitars, and with more attention to the subs. I'm thinking about thinning it out and making it much more spacious.

Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels is one of my favorite movies! The way he wrote that one and Snatch is brilliant!

I hope you're having a good time with life, and all is going well.

Take care my friend.
Aaron.

I'm glad you like this. It's funny you should say they're "sexy, kinky type of odd." Because, like I told Tumbleweed a few comments down, this was originally going to be used for a "dancer" to work into a very specific routine. But, it kind of got out of control and became a much larger, heavier version of what it was supposed to be.

As far a ValveDriver goes. He is me. I am He and we are all together. I chose to end the Persona due to some pretty hefty life changes that came about. Part of the contribution to those changes was the ValveDriver Persona, and what it had become. After the changes, and me dealing with them, it wasn't in me to keep that persona alive. So...I offed it.

Valvedriven, is a great track, man!

Thanks again for taking a minute to listen, and to comment. I appreciate it.

Take care.
Sloe.

Neo, What's happnin' brother?

If your new material is the doom metal track I just listened to, I'm glad you were working on it! I left a comment for ya.

" Its also cool to notice that remnants of the Valvedriver still lurks in the shadow of this new persona."

I don't think that ValveDriver part of me will ever really die. It's like I told somebody in my reply to their comment on "...And Life Went On" I don't think the music is really going to sound that different to you guys, but for me, it's coming from a place that's far more pure and natural. With Valve, it was kind of a forced darkness with the intent to disturb. Now it's just a love for the darker sounds and making them fit together with a good natural flow. But, I guess that's pretty much all any musician does, right?

Thanks for havin' a listen and for the kindness, man. I truly appreciate it.

Take care, man.
Aaron.

Ed, hello.

Thanks for the kind words, my friend. It's always encouraging. Funny thing about this tune, It was originally supposed to be a slow sensual track that was going to be used for a dance...of the more erotic variety. But, the more I worked on it, the more I felt it needed. I suppose it still could be used for that, but it wasn't what I originally intended.
Anyhow, thanks again. As you know, I always appreciate your feedback.

Take care.
Aaron.

Good to know.

The credit's in the title, dude.

Take care.

Hello, again.

I wish I could just make more "now". However, I really do enjoy the process of the whole thing. I left a link for you on the "Life Went On" comment, where you CAN here more NOW.

Take care.
Sloe.

What's happnin' man?

It's a good thing you have your specialized lab gear on. There's still Valve oil all over this track.

No, these drums are a mix and match of digital samples I have laying around the place. A few layers here, and a few layers there. EQ'd and processed the shit out of em.

I wonder if the Evanator will ever let ME wub the shit up in one of his tracks.

"Wubbing's OK - I only hate it when that's all there is going on in a track (ie the average shit wubstep track"

I agree. I really like the wubwubs in dubstep, and D'n'B. But like you, when that's all it is, it's just a bunch of random noise to me. I like to think I have restrained and tamed the wubwub. Which when said outloud, makes me imagine a creature much like the Jabberwocky.

2:45- That is from Native Instruments' Vibraphone Library for Kontakt5. I picked it up quite a while ago. I have a few started tracks that feature it, but none of them are finished. Some probably never will be. But, you can expect to hear more of it.

Nope. Not me on the B.C. As quickly as that little treat came, so too did it go. Lawyer fees. Know what I mean?

" A lot like a metal band chugging away."

Metal is so heavily incorporated into my DNA, it's elements will pop up in every track at least once. I wouldn't be able to not do it. I could write a country western and still manage to work some form of metal into it.
Wait...I said "I could write a country western..."

No I couldn't.

I checked out your nice little pop son bro. I sang along, and I left a comment.

Lator to the gator.

Joe. Thanks, man!

It does have a little bit of a "world" quality to it. Mostly in the vocal melody, I think.

I can't say that I've heard Orange Blossom before, but I will be promptly looking into them after this reply.

Thanks again, Joe.
Take care.
