Description : Real acoustic, electric and bass guitars played by me. Drums are loops and programmed MIDI. Played piano and synths. Lots of layers and delay. A gated moog, organ, my recorded finger-snaps and a reversed bass guitar effect that sounds like throat-singing. Three movements, divided by moments of calm. Thoughts and feedback are welcome.

If you have time take a listen and give Evisma some feedback.
That's one more than last year to compensate for your hair loss and being a bit closer to death. I hope that extra greeting is sufficient compensation.
Haha - you finally replying to another very old comment on one of your nice tracks bro. There are still a few more comments of mine that remain unanswered. Maybe you will get round to them over the next few years.
"How is the Slupergroup not called "Microvag"?"
Probably because it's a bit too controversial and too much like schoolboy humour. MicroVulv could also be good, as would Vag Magnet (a guy excellent at attracting ladies). They're all good and succinct.
I'm not totally happy with The Bastard Files but we've rejected so many and have to go with something so that'll do as you guys seem to like it.
I wonder if you or Mr V will ever send me some musical bastard files, you utter bastards.
Shitloads of guit fiddle and crashing drums and not much synth.
Still not happy with the title. Maybe you can come up with something better. I'm looking for something that combines beauty and heavy power. And maybe something a bit cosmic and psychedelic too.
Sorry if it wasn't what you wanted this year but I didn't know what else to get you.
Well hello, my endlessly patient but entirely intolerant bassic bro.
How does it go?
Just some replies to your replies:
You may get your "levelling Syria" wish/bet as I think the RAF (British Air Force) have already started bombing. Maybe there will be retaliation bombing campaigns over meth-heavy Ozark regions. Be on your guard and if you see something, say something.
"we'd have to get Behnam out of Iran before we level it."
How about not bombing anywhere, you crazy Yank?
" adding more wang into the picture"
I promise I will add no wang. Sounds like Constellation might be able to accommodate a 1-incher but 11 will surely be too much for a microvag. Terrible risk of tearing.
Teeth pain is mainly over but damn it took ages (10 days). Not sure I had any injection sites as I was under full anaesthetic so utterly oblivious to everything.
"I may be more Sliderboy than Sliderman for a while, till my lap-steel balls drop."
If you're going with the youthful/inexperienced analogy for your current level of slide proficiency, I think you'll have to be SlideBaby. Maybe I'm more Grand Slide Daddy or Grand Slide Wizard. No, I'm not really that great but I have been doing it for about 10 years. Slide is hard, with lots of accuracy required to avoid undesired notes. I'm looking forward to hearing your first slide creation.
Try dropping your balls on your lap steel. I do that quite often to get a different tone. And that way you know your music is nothing if not ballsy.
I was going to give The Evanator an end of year review but I think I've run out of words.
Nomad, the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not.
I love the harmonic interplay of the guitars in the opening section, accented by the washes and beat. The overall progression of the piece is impressive, with the heavy bass in the 2nd movement lifted by the synths into a resolution in the 3rd. That reversed bass guitar in the third section is yes, very unique! I really enjoyed listening to this track. thanks for creating it.
Evan, Mister Evan. What's happnin' your way, man? How was your Thanksgiving? Pleasant, I hope.
Remember that time I said you're on the verge of breaking through into that sound that's all your own? Well, my friend, you are well past that threshold. Granted, this one still has some pretty hefty nods to those who's name shall remain unspoken, but it's like the equivalent of my "Red On The White" in that sense. It's got a strong Floyd vibe, but it's not intended to sound like them. Ya know?
I have to agree with Tumbleweed, man. This one is clearly your best yet. I kind of feel like saying this on damn near every track you put out cheapens the meaning, but when you come back with each track, it's improved far beyond the last. The composition, the mixing, the instrumentation, all of it is exactly how it should be.
I have no critiques, criticisms, or suggestions, man. You nailed it as far as I'm concerned!
I'd still love to do a collab one of these times. You know, put in my synths real Sloe like right into your Bass hole...er, uhhh....NO HOMO! I need to go wash off the filth now.
Mr. Aaron. We meet again, in notes on this pegboard in the hallway. Always just missing the other by moments.
The high praise is not easy for me to accept. It is appreciated. I'm wanting to create my music more closely to what I hear in my mind, and the longer I hold on to them and lay my thoughts upon them, the truer they are to their origin. I had a pretty busy spurt for about a year and a half. Now it's more about quality over quantity.
"put in my synths real Sloe like right into your Bass hole"
Just bring the valve oil, baby. You're in for a treat. I'm practiced in the art of Strobe-Clenching. You'll never be the same. I leave dongs looking like they have heat-sinks.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Today The Evanator was greeted in a pleasant but unusual manner in an online comment. In other news, Iran was wiped off the map in a sneak US nuclear strike. Too bad guys, you had it coming. Now here's Tom with the weather..."
Lotta love, and rightly so, for this nice track bro.
After listening again a few more times, I don't think I have any real criticism or suggestions.
I would also like to be friends with Constellation. Introduce it/her to some of my tracks and see if it/she feels the same. I don't want to barge in on a complicated relationship situation.
I didn't understand "Usually about opening new lines of equity", though I can see it rhymes.
Yes, tracks are taking more like a month for me now as well. I've slowed down after knocking them out at a furious pace in the 1st half of 2015. Made about 5 albums' worth of tracks this year, average track length 8.8 mins.
Your lap steel tuning doesn't make much sense to me but I'm not really up on alternative tunings. I just know my own (DADF#AD), the one I've used for 10 years. I know you already go somewhat alternative with your bass g tuning.
Nomad news: On Friday I had my first ever proper operation - all 4 wisdom teeth removed so had inner cheeks cut open and stitched back up. Still recovering at home.
While I was in the hospital, I thought I might as well ask if they could also do a dick extension before or after the teeth removal. "Sure, why not" was the reply. I asked for 5 inches but they generously gave me 10 so I now have an awesome 11-incher.
I bet Moby Dick still taunts you. In my library of family books I just found a 248 page copy. I'm guessing it's an abridged version, possibly with the tedious descriptive stuff you mentioned removed. Or maybe they've kept it in and got rid of some good bits. Only one way to find out.
Best of luck unlocking your inner Sliderman, brush hogging and so on.
Nomad, getting it on with angels on the sideline again.
.......'This is a test of the Emergency Comment Response System. Had this been an actual emergency, a list of homophones would be provided for reference purposes. Again, this is only a test'.......
"Iran was wiped off the map in a sneak US nuclear strike"
I'm thinking that leveling Syria may be a better bet right now, and we'd have to get Behnam out of Iran before we level it.
"I don't want to barge in on a complicated relationship situation"
It is an awkward one. See, she was seeing a really nice haiku for a long time. Took care of himself, minded his syllables, paused at the right times. Until one day she was swept off her feet when she met a muzak version of Chumbawamba's "Tub-Thumping". Far less pretentious than the haiku, and hung like a beast,.... which holds the problem. Constellation has been cursed with a very tiny vagina, and though she really, really likes Tub-Thumper, he's just too much man. Should she go back to haiku after such an change?? It's all too much right now and adding more wang into the picture will only make things worse. Check back around June.
"I didn't understand 'Usually about opening new lines of equity'".
A small joke about god needing money. Disregard.
"Your lap steel tuning doesn't make much sense to me but I'm not really up on alternative tunings."
Like standard tuning, but the A tuned up to B, and the D tuned up to an F#. Like fretting 2 and 4 on A and D, respectively.
Good luck with the healing. I know when I had four out at a time, (everything behind the bottom left canine), the worst part was the injection sites. Not the ravine that was left behind. The needle holes up above the gum-line are the biggest bitch. I'm glad I have all the removing done. Took 9 out. Myriad of fillings. I have a partial that gives nearly all of them back to me. $6,800 after all was said and done. Now it's just two checkups and a crown a year, till all the teeth with huge fillings are replaced.
"I just found a 248 page copy. I'm guessing it's an abridged version"
Surely. Mine is about as thick as a pack of cigarettes is wide. I believe I passed 100 pages and they hadn't left the harbor yet. Very engaging till they get out to the open water an start hunting the white whale. Then the story totally stops. Fucking bullshit. I have endless patience,.... but zero tolerance.
Lap steel is going OK. I may be more Sliderboy than Sliderman for a while, till my lap-steel balls drop.
Take care.
Evan, eating a box of Krispy-Kremes at my "need to know" place just outside Area-51.
Wow I have been blessed with an opportunity to listen to this absolute gem. This is beyond amazing and professional. Not only are you a talented musician but you are phenomenal at mixing. This track sounds awesome in headphones. You pretty much immersed the listener into your world. I am just floating around in this maze of musical magic. Love every second from the guitar to the bass to the piano to that "throat singing" effect.
Long time no talk. I saw your track and alway know you put out some fine quality music, so figured I'd give it a spin. Really like this from the very start. Some very nice elements involve...Good job, my friend.
I like the idea of "3 movements" - sort of a nod to classical form - and maybe it gives you more freedom to bring in a variety of styles/genres - which I feel you do in an effective way. The live playing is fantastic. I love that new synth and groove at around 1:15-1:20. The throat singing is crazy fresh. Cool track. Great work!
Evan..ohh what have you done. @1:15 it gets very interesting. You have elevated yourself as a composer. very nice ideas presented here all based on a common theme. You build tension in very inventive ways using synths and your bass. And you cut it off at 2:54 to add some nice filtered piano's and weird vox sounds. but your command of percussion is really good on this one. It's an exercise in scales but just amazing arrangement of percussion and instruments. great job I loved this one.
Cru
speaking of hungarian bands, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_FJEoXwkNE and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F7b4skyUy4 HAHAHA Bet you'd never expect to see bagpipes, accordion, fiddles, oud all used in metal! You'd probably like a band called Faun. They use ancient acoustic instruments combined with modern musio, not metal but very good. Alot of your music reminds me of their style. I got a hurdy gurdy vst hoping to make some music with soon as well as loops. Love acoustic guitar, I need a full sized one!! Very cool track! See hat great things come out of experimentation, as long as your not making bioweapons (zombies, monsters, viruses, ect) that is LOL!
There are more than a few very creative people on the loop but I dont think I have heard anything more creative that has been actually played with real instruments and sounds made by the composer...it is not only well done ..it is damn good listening...just a great track Evan...fav from me....Ed
That may be the highest compliment I've ever received here. Deeply appreciated. I've been trying to not rush anything with the last few tracks. Hope it shows.
Thank you again for your very kind words. Kinda blew me away.
Oh man the intro guitars are awesome! Perfectly clean and just the right amount of delay. I always love to hear another guitar players work and this sounds good man. I dig it.
Brilliant track...I love the acoustic intro with a little touch of Mettalica...really nice playing of acoustic guitars and bass...and the use of synths and effects is outstanding. Overall balance of instruments is something to admire and production is top notch as well ! Faved !:)
This is by far my favourite track i have heard from you since the short time i have been on here Evisma.The bass moment at 1:19 is great,i like the power in this track and the way you combine folk and rock so effortlessly.Fav for me.Think i will play it again now!
Lol to your responce to Ernestking... Its a good on Evisma. Havent heard from you in a while, but I also took quite some time away from the site as well so...But another fade has been added with this one Ev, I really enjoyed every bit.
The video, I must say, was pretty awesome till the chick came in and weirded me out. I liked the music quite a bit. I dislike the look of those violin basses and every time I pick one up, they sound very dull. I've been happy with my Ibanez. Sounds better than others I've played.
Thanks for the kind words and the listen, and the video with some new music to my ears. My MP3 player's library is getting pretty stale.
Maybe I sent to you before (I don't remember, or that was Static) the Hungarian band is called Másfél's (it means one and a half) song...it's title is Zuma...their music (specially not that song) always reminds me to your art...it's of course not the same music but in feeling...
This progrock is one of your best...those guitars are both awesome...every part fits perfectly together, we don't miss anything from here...
i was tired of hearing guitar loops (which repeats a lot) in musics untill i heard your song
i truely loved your song
and felt very nice when i heard it
if you want someone to sing on it
hit me up
regards
Glad you liked it. Hope you know there are no guitar loops. Only about half the drums are drum loops. I've never used a music-loop unless it was drums.
Well I've got some advice for you little bass bro
Before you point the finger you should know that I'm The Nomad
And if I'm The Nomad then you're The Nomad and he's The Nomad as well*
So you can point that fuckin finger up your brush hogger
Ah, Tool lyrics - the gift that keeps on giving, whether for use as intros or outros. Or even midtros.
Anyway, you have done a constellar job with this here creative nice track bro.
Intro acoustic stuff reminds me of Metallica's Fade To Black. A clean sound indeed. You have been polishing your strings.
First drum groove sounds a little like something I might come up with. Nice, wideo stereo image on the guitar/s. Gentle stuff, with a tasteful little delay conclusion (of the section) around 1:04.
Then some very delicate, tight playing that, plus the drums, makes me think of something African.
1:36 and the riffage is heading more towards the badass. But still chilled. A riff I'd be happy to groove over.
2:08 far out synths remind me of what I like to do.
2:51 synths are removed and we're back to more tasteful, open spaces acoustic twiddling.
Then your bass monk enters, chanting away as he assume the lotus (a particular cross-legged yoga) position.
Tasteful piano enters and stuff is going far out again.
Ah, a reasonably definitive conclusion. Just letting things hang on delay is a pretty useful way of ending these sort of compositions. Generally better than a fadeout.
Nomad, under a dead Ohio sky, defending his light and wondering where the hell he has been.
*Damn, seems like we're all The Nomad. Must be a state of mind or something.
My god's will becomes me.
When he speaks, he speaks through me. (Usually about opening new lines of equity)
Glad you liked the track. I've been messing with this one for a while now. Tracks take about a month now, instead of a week or two. The throat-singing thing is an analog synth effect on my effects pedal with a reverse auto-wah. I like it and will use it again, but differently. Finger-snaps are always fun to record.
Next track will probably have bits of Lap-Steel in it. I've tuned it to Em add9, which is all the strings being strummed while fretting 2 on A and 4 on D. I've not even begun anything else yet, but I'm probably done with this one so it's inevitable.
Evan, born to bear and read to all the details of our ending, to write it down for all the world to see, but I forgot my pen, shit the bed again,... typical.
hello Evan. Acouistic guitars are wonderfully clean on the first section and there is a perfect amount of delay on them. Second part is fine too - more funky and I like synths a lot. There are so many enjoyable details throughout making me want to loop your track again and again. The character of that bass effect corresponds nicely with the drumming. It is definitely a more inventive, creative track from you.
Also the balance between melodic and dynamic elements is perfect. The narration is very smooth at the same time and it is truly a coherent composition.
Very enjoyable music to listen to!
Congratulations on making such a nice track.
Alex
Very high praise. I thank you very much. I really enjoyed doing this one and messing with the acoustic. Not an expensive acoustic, but sounds rather good. I always finger-pick the guitar and pick the bass. A bit backwards.
Thank you again for the kind words and the listen. It is appreciated.
It's in a bit of a complicated relationship situation right now and would feel more comfortable if you two were just friends, but it is truly flattered.

Description : Hello People, hows it goin? Well here I am with my new cover and yes, you read it right... its 'THING CALLED LOVE' by one of my favourite EDM artists Above & Beyond. Its a fusion of Lounge, Ambient & Indian Ethnic elements and some experimental sounds too. I just hope you like my rendition.
And yes, There is a thing called Share that we all forget, So if you genuinely like my cover, Please share!
Cheers! :D
Description : Updated 9/23/24. This is a progressive fusion flavored jazz number. I called on fellow Looperman DISCIPLINE to season this composition with that FIRE GUITAR, and he did! Let me know your thoughts on this one. Enjoy.
Description : Real guitars and basses played by me. A short, yet tasty bit of MIDI piano and cello with about 7 programmed drum kits and a few drum loops. It's really a metric shit-ton of layered guitars and different textures. This track, sadly, is also a "Goodbye" to my little Acoustic 3/4 Fender Squier. I've been serving as a pawn-shop for my sister-in-law for about 4 years. Not a guitar you'd seek out, but it's been a friend and has been in most of my tracks. The bright side is, I will be replacing it with something better, and full sized. Acoustic guitar suggestions are as welcome as track comments!

==============
Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.
Description : This track is built around the repetitive lead guitar line which I have previously incorporated as an intro for the rocker track "Sweetheart Runner" by LM user TinyFinger whom I have helped in arranging, mixing and producing his song. This extended session was a good oportunity to test some new equipment....Thanks to Tiny for not being mad about it...:)^^
After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …
Description : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.
Description : A spoopy song, early for Halloween. This was a collaboration with Micky, who did most of the work.
A musical realization of a poem by Thomas Hardy
Idea: Spearcarrier
Voices: Spearcarrier & Micky
Music: Micky
Genre: We don't know yet. Suggestions welcome. LOL
Description : the rise of AI
this i would describe as hip-hop space rock, last night of the proms sort :))
its different, a fusion of genres, this is all played by me, no loops. got a little more music theory now, so put it to the test.
its my first attempt at writing something myself and hopefully show i can produce a bit too. i wanted all the instruments to have their place but to shine alone, let me know if you think i achieved my description.
Description : Return To Forever was a group that started my love of fusion jazz and this is my attempt to cover their 1976 track, “The Romantic Warrior. I know I wore out several inceptions of this album from LP, cassette and 8 track. The original track was over 10 minutes long, so I abridged it some. Hope you like and download.
Description : A moroccan traditional song from 70s titled "Toudart" which means "Life" in Moroccan berber/Tamazight, revived and composed in a modern way, I used minor2go's piano loop which you can hear on the background, everything elese is from me.
Description : Didn't find the right genre for this track... the title is in bask language, the translation in french should be "folie douce" and in english, may be "sheer madness"

"I just found a 248 page copy. I'm guessing it's an abridged version"
Surely. Mine is about as thick as a pack of cigarettes is wide. I believe I passed 100 pages and they hadn't left the harbor yet. Very engaging till they get out to the open water an start hunting the white whale. Then the story totally stops. Fucking bullshit. I have endless patience,.... but zero tolerance.
Lap steel is going OK. I may be more Sliderboy than Sliderman for a while, till my lap-steel balls drop.
Take care.
Evan, eating a box of Krispy-Kremes at my "need to know" place just outside Area-51.
What a journey! Great work!
I'm far from professional, but I appreciate the thought very much. Thanks for giving it a listen and giving a rather stellar comment. Makes my day!
Evan
Long time no talk. I saw your track and alway know you put out some fine quality music, so figured I'd give it a spin. Really like this from the very start. Some very nice elements involve...Good job, my friend.
Ciao,
M.
Thanks for the listen! I'm glad you liked this one. I've been digging my last three.
Take care.
Evan
I do like making tracks with separate sections. I don't typically repeat a part once I've moved from it, so it helps with big changes.
Busy with a new track or I would do your musical image interpretation. Appreciate the offer!
Thanks again for the listen and the feedback.

Very deep appreciation for the kind words. I'm glad this one came out as well as it did. I need to work on mixing with more dynamics.
I hope you are doing well up in the frostiness. Thinsulate is the shit!
Evan
Later.
Evan
That may be the highest compliment I've ever received here. Deeply appreciated. I've been trying to not rush anything with the last few tracks. Hope it shows.
Thank you again for your very kind words. Kinda blew me away.
Evan
Glad you liked it. The delay was from a pedal so I'm glad it sounds good because it's permanent.
Thanks again.
Evan

Thanks again.

Thanks for the kind words. They are appreciated. Always nice to hear when people don't find your stuff too objectionable.
Thanks for the listen!
Evan
Thanks again!

The video, I must say, was pretty awesome till the chick came in and weirded me out. I liked the music quite a bit. I dislike the look of those violin basses and every time I pick one up, they sound very dull. I've been happy with my Ibanez. Sounds better than others I've played.
Thanks for the kind words and the listen, and the video with some new music to my ears. My MP3 player's library is getting pretty stale.
Evan
Maybe I sent to you before (I don't remember, or that was Static) the Hungarian band is called Másfél's (it means one and a half) song...it's title is Zuma...their music (specially not that song) always reminds me to your art...it's of course not the same music but in feeling...
This progrock is one of your best...those guitars are both awesome...every part fits perfectly together, we don't miss anything from here...
My warmest handshake, Danke
i truely loved your song
and felt very nice when i heard it
if you want someone to sing on it
hit me up
regards
Before you point the finger you should know that I'm The Nomad
And if I'm The Nomad then you're The Nomad and he's The Nomad as well*
So you can point that fuckin finger up your brush hogger
Ah, Tool lyrics - the gift that keeps on giving, whether for use as intros or outros. Or even midtros.
Anyway, you have done a constellar job with this here creative nice track bro.
Intro acoustic stuff reminds me of Metallica's Fade To Black. A clean sound indeed. You have been polishing your strings.
First drum groove sounds a little like something I might come up with. Nice, wideo stereo image on the guitar/s. Gentle stuff, with a tasteful little delay conclusion (of the section) around 1:04.
Then some very delicate, tight playing that, plus the drums, makes me think of something African.
1:36 and the riffage is heading more towards the badass. But still chilled. A riff I'd be happy to groove over.
2:08 far out synths remind me of what I like to do.
2:51 synths are removed and we're back to more tasteful, open spaces acoustic twiddling.
Then your bass monk enters, chanting away as he assume the lotus (a particular cross-legged yoga) position.
Tasteful piano enters and stuff is going far out again.
Ah, a reasonably definitive conclusion. Just letting things hang on delay is a pretty useful way of ending these sort of compositions. Generally better than a fadeout.
Nomad, under a dead Ohio sky, defending his light and wondering where the hell he has been.
*Damn, seems like we're all The Nomad. Must be a state of mind or something.
When he speaks, he speaks through me. (Usually about opening new lines of equity)
Glad you liked the track. I've been messing with this one for a while now. Tracks take about a month now, instead of a week or two. The throat-singing thing is an analog synth effect on my effects pedal with a reverse auto-wah. I like it and will use it again, but differently. Finger-snaps are always fun to record.
Next track will probably have bits of Lap-Steel in it. I've tuned it to Em add9, which is all the strings being strummed while fretting 2 on A and 4 on D. I've not even begun anything else yet, but I'm probably done with this one so it's inevitable.
Evan, born to bear and read to all the details of our ending, to write it down for all the world to see, but I forgot my pen, shit the bed again,... typical.
Also the balance between melodic and dynamic elements is perfect. The narration is very smooth at the same time and it is truly a coherent composition.
Very enjoyable music to listen to!
Congratulations on making such a nice track.
Alex
Very high praise. I thank you very much. I really enjoyed doing this one and messing with the acoustic. Not an expensive acoustic, but sounds rather good. I always finger-pick the guitar and pick the bass. A bit backwards.
Thank you again for the kind words and the listen. It is appreciated.
Evan
