Description : This is my entry to the November competition on the Audio Sparks for Art site. The song represents an enhanced workflow for me, considering the changes in my studio which had barely been accessed until now. No software instruments or loops/samples were used in composing this piece. On the contrary, each instrument represents an individual piece of hardware gear, including my DIY modular synth, my latest circuit bent drum module (the 2XKawa), Yamaha YS200, Microkorg, Casio CZ-101, Dual Zoom drum machines, and the Gibson organ played through my Kustom amp. This is also the first time I've used Expert Sleepers Silent Way in a completed track... this allowed me to clock the 2xKawa from my DAW using the DC coupled outputs of my audio interface. Almost every track contained here had live manipulation of some sort while recording, including amplitude modulation, filter modulation, control of delay parameters, spontaneous drum rolls, trumpet wow accents, as well as volume and sustain pedal work. It was a rewarding musical endeavor. If you enjoy this song, please go view the art piece which inspired it, and show your support with a fav on the audiosparksforart.com page!

Description : "WORLD FUTURISM," a unique blend of global dance
and timeless sounds drawing from nature, traditional music, field recordings,
and the electronic savvy of modern centers like Chicago and London
Description : The tangled skein of life permeates all creation, binding the known to the unknown. This track, in its own subtle way, attempts to convey that.
Description : Just like the first EP "OGOU", this production focuses on organic elements with drum samples.It contains modern sounds such electronic down-tempo, future bass,and hip-hop, which makes the music sound old and new at the same time. With heavy sampling of African chants and sound generated from other tribes, this is production will bring more flavor and enjoyment--it's like Africa to your Ears.
Description : After a major uphill battle completing this song and turning it into what it is now, I feel some amount of satisfaction. It was like reality wanted me to give up or something. It's done... phew... Have updated this almost completely, from repatching the modular bass, playing some guitar parts, adding electric piano and synth lead, redoing and tuning the DW-6000 synth, of course adding my vocals, and mixing and mastering. It really has become pretty new wave, like much of my stuff does recently. Have added the lyrics as well. I am proud and happy with it, and I hope you all enjoy listening! UPDATE... woohoo just broke 1000 plays on this track here at looperman!
***original description***
Hey finally here with a new track! I'm not sure what to call this other than electronic, due to the high tempo. This is the first song finished using my interface which allows direct MIDI control of my modular synthesizer. The mid frequency bass part is all from that patch. There are tracks designed with my Zoom RT-123 drum machine, the microkorg, and the circuit bent KORG DW-6000. Other than that it is just a kick and snare drum sample, and a a quick vocal snippet. So I guess it's fairly minimal in that respect. Would like to hear the Looperman community's thoughts on this song! Thank you for listening

Description : This coming from the New Project called, "World Futurism."
it's a production inspired by various tribes like Africa,Asia, North America. And with some heavy bass and synth sound, we got something refreshing to the ears.
I know I have promised a lot you that I will finish it but never did. However, I am for real this time.
Description : This one has a lot of changes. Pretty unique. Lots of dubstep sounds, glitch and other sounds. I always enjoy listening back to it. Throw on some headphones, crank it up, and experience the awesomeness of this epic electronic composition.
First of all the intro is beautiful and the transition into the rest of the track. It's great, I very much enjoyed listening to it. I'm mostly listening to rap, but when I come across a track like this that makes me bump haha, I automatically like it. Great job man. I took a listen at your other tracks, they're great as well. Don't stop!!
Hey Pat, not sure how I missed this one (looks like someone decided to stir up some stuff using this as an example, haha. Glad I missed that drama as well and feel bad he decided to target you in the process).
Anyway, I always enjoy music that is recorded live, in all of its unadulterated glory. I think its the small nuances that live performance allows that gives this one a special feel. As Alex said so astutely, the organ plays against the happy feeling of the track, yet gives it such a great foundation to play off of....kind of a yin and yang type of approach that really works well.
I put you in the same category as a Steve Winwood, not that your music is like his, but you are a performer and it is difficult to play everything and do it as well as you do. Winwood didn't tour for many years because he was literally a one man band. I think you are not only a talented one man band, but also one guy who really knows what he is doing around a mixing console. Impressive work my friend, and definitely adding this to my favorites. By the way, the song went really well with the artwork over at Dan's place. Congrats. I hope all is well.

Classic leftfield work from you again ;)
Has a very happy/bouncy vibe which I like, would be perfect retro game music! You should check out newgrounds and maybe upload some tunes there, I'm sure people would be more than willing to use your stuff in games, animations etc! Would be a good way to get a bit more exposure too! Sounds like you ahd a lot of fun making this again! Nice one!
I read that as "free copy"!!!!
I like the picture!
nice to see a familiar face! your description intrigued me, building hardware gets major props from me!
I'm jealous, Look at all the attention this got! LOL! Honestly, people say negative crap out of jealousy... I like the intertwining melodies, like the intertwining roots. Can you see that hobbit hiding in there? Love the animal sounds, very fitting for the tree/nature theme here. Just read on the audiosparks site that you recorded them AND performed this live :D awesome! Love the added, hmm not sure the word, dimension, music adds to the art/images. We all have different perceptions/interpretations.
Greetings, Mr. Kurl.
Not into the electronic genres, but couldn't help listening to such a controversial track. Quite merry and jovial. The kind of stuff that keeps you in a positive frame of mind while peaking in jail. Aahhhh, good times. Highschool was fun.
Good stuff here. Pay the "Darkside" no mind. The force is strong with you, young Spivkurl.

I wouldn't expect anything less from you.I don't get the happy comments though, it sounds very dark and broken as if the tree had spouted in a very polluted area or something.
YO yo !
Its fun to listen to this piece of artmusic.
All kind of sounds and you don't know where it ends .
A real spivtrack !
greets!
Really like the organ sound in the beginning, along with the atmospheric beach-style background ambiance. It's always nice to hear experimental sounds, especially when the composer is always trying new things, such as yourself. Reading the description, it seems like you probably had as much fun hooking up all that equipment as making the sounds sequence out of it. Keep it up!
Yo Spiv, really nice work with your gear. Nice live play and the manipulation is badash! I dig this project. Some parts when most of the sounds come together that organ type patch seems like it would fit better if you could pitch it down some notes. Though some sections when its less crowded it sounds sweet af! Im liking your new toys you got running they all sound good. Interesting idea to make this for the art pictures. Thanks for sharing, was cool for this morning stogie.
What a beautiful Track , Its Perfect ...
This is an awesome tune. I love the brightness and the detuning is excellent. The percussion is also perfectly placed. Fav'd fer sure. Keep it up. You know I look at music in colours as well. Sort of a very mild synesthesia.
Any how carry on my good man.

Hi, can I use this on a video for my blog? It's an ESL blog and I've made a video to promote it with fast moving text which this music would complement PERFECTLY. I'll link you to anything you want me to from my blog in the acknowledgments section and give you a shout on social media. I'll also put you in the credits at the end of my podcast. Let me know. Thanks.
sounds really good man! keep it up!
Hi Pat
Normaly i take music just like music. Nothing more nothing less. But in this case i take it a bit more from the making music side. It must been a pleasure to listen to while you make this kind of music. It all sounds very intressting and it is in a way alife. I bet that much of cool stuff just happend and found a way into this little song and i am a real big friend of makeing music in a way where you get/found some pearls where you never believed to find some. And also i love sounds and stuff that is just there after a record and you didn't know where it comes from ....
To be honest, i pressed play while my wife was around in my studio and she fleed away from this little track. She realy cant handle sounds like that :) but she often flees from things i played to hear :). so if she says - thats to hard for me to listen to, then it is often something that i can realy enjoy.
Cool one. Great preformance on each instrument.
stay tuned
joe
hi! this is one enjoyable tune with happy vibe and nice melodies. I do not know why but the bassline, trumpet and other leads sound kind of positive while the organ chords have rather 'minor' mood qualities for me. Birds and sea backgrounds were nice too. I liked the tone of the noisy snare drum from the analog drum maschine. The way how you manage all those hardware electronic instruments is always impressive. I enjoyed listening. I liked visual artwork too. Faved! Alex
