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 : Headphones are recommended for a more immersive experience :P - - - A weary American soldier is walking through the remains of what used to be a small town in the middle east, only to rediscover the horrible reality that sometimes war can affect even the ones who have no part in 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 : 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 : This track contains several loops, all of them are from looperman artists - listed below. I don't know if "ambient" fits well for it, but i get most loops from that category. :)

If anyone can share a thought about this, it would be really great. I hope you enjoy it if you do and like it 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 : Last time when I uploaded my track called "The Ring Of Saturn" many reviewers stated that it should belong under "ambient" category, since I tagged it as "cinematic"... so this led me to decision to give you the mother of all ambient pieces and here it is!:)Yet, it has something in common with the previous one....you won't need your sleeping pills... again..:)^^
Description : Guys, Can anyone please translate the words for me.
I appreciated if anyone can.
Many Thanks

nice bro
Amazing song
Ehi Jamid, i'm sure i listened a part of this song in a video of youtube about funny cats playing instruments! Is that a tribute you made about a famous song which i don't know? In any case, your tracks are surprising,i love your style!
This is a beaut Jamid!
Good work.

I don't know what is going on with this site today but I was actually reviewing a totally different track by someone else and for some reason my review has appeared in your comments for this track - weird. Very sorry - you were probably thinking what harp?
I agree - it certainly goes on a bit The harp sound is lovely and sometimes when you find that something works well it's nice to go around a few more times. This is very relaxing and would make an excellent backdrop for meditation. Very nice - I enjoyed it.
Ok, but everything audible from 1:16 to 2:16 excluding the percussion was part of that sample set sound for sound, exactly the same. I remember them very clearly because I would make hundreds of different combinations as songs, they were so terrible but fun.
So it's just a very strange coincidence to me that you made them all from scratch. You perhaps heard the sounds somewhere and then recreated them in this composition. You must have a "microphonic memory".
Starts out with a great 8 bit video game styled tune which is very fitting of the 80's theme. One thing that really strikes me is 1:16 where I hear a tune which was the first loop I ever worked with!
That electronic melody at 1:16 was part of a sample set in an application called Garage Band on the apple mac computers in my primary school. Playing with those tunes was what brought me into using Digital Audio Workstations such as the one I use now for windows called Mixcraft.
Even more of a coincidence is that same melody when I went looking for samples of it I came across looperman. Unfortunately I could never find those samples or even their name but I found an amazing music community.
So I thank you for allowing me to relive my journey in this musical composition.
Also I would really like to know what the hell those samples are, its been killing me for the past six years.
needa jump on this train. love the key you chose
Yep , this is a really great track
Sounds great to me ¡¡
80¨s Style ... Nice
love the percussion intro. good pickup by adding the bendy synth. I like the arp but i wish it had more notes
Hi Jamid. Awesome Track Friend. I love it. Great Work.
there need something to make it sound as a full song you should try with one of those a bass or drum´, other then that you should Work on not use to many effects, or at least check bass mid and low and turn one of them off to listen how the sound is and possible it could be broken but you would easy hear soon as you turn maybe mid and low off then listen to the bass.
perfect party song for new year's eve 2016 :D Happy New Year Jamid, good to see you have some free time, music is our escape from reality. Pleasure to listen, I really like the synth, not sure how to describe the sound hahaha, the lead one.
Great track Jamid...Does remind me of oldskool 90 techno parties! This would fit right in there!
Oldschool Electro this works and sounds good :)
Nicely done man,
Awesome track!
~Eighteen
Awesome Stuff! Great Work! Nice Precision On The Requested Genre!
Man that jam at 3:18, i remember that sound from my school lol :)
This is pretty fun stuff! I find the composition of the synth parts to be pretty eighties, while some of the actual sounds used put me more in mind of the nineties. The overall mixing and stuff sounded quite modern though. This is a good combination of traits for a song to my ears though, I like to combine those sorts of influences as well! Groovy, funky, dancable and all around cool. Dig it! Fave
Hey jamid, good to see you posting! I can't say I listened to much of this music back then but like Ed said, you couldn't help hear this kind of music played in movies and all sorts of clubs and stores, airports... It's nice you could write a song for someone's child and time stamp it to a certain period. Good skills!
It's well put together and nicely mixed. I like all the space in it even though you used what seems to be a lot of sounds and instruments. There is a lot happening and it doesn't feel cluttered or overdone.
Well done jamid!
Wayne
Definately got the 80's vibe from this track nice one!
It says a lot about your flexibility and knowledge as a composer that you can do such an epic job with this 80s feel. Of course it's easy for me to write 80's style 'cause I just haven't caught up yet! LOL! But really - you stay true to the genre and make a happy, great sounding track! Nice job! Dan
Very nice work ... well done jamid
Well, you definitely know how to make an entrance, haha. Wow, great tasty synth work on this one. It does have that club vibe as Ed referred to. I've always been a fan of that big phat synth sounding lead, and this one has plenty of that. Really nice work. You had from the start and kept me all the way to the end. A great way to start my day, bobbing my head and having some synth jam with my toast and coffee, haha. Well done! Happy holidays. I hope all is well.

I spent a lot of the 80s in airports & hotels...and most of those hotels had some kind of club downstairs where you could have a listen for a while before cashing the day in...definitely reminded of the vibe...I like that its a nice uplifting kind of little melody with the high synth lead & great fat analog bass lines..addicting kind of beat...I could listen to this for a long time...you`ve outdone yourself (again)....keep on...you just keep getting better....Ed
Kind of feels eighties but also late nineties at the same time. (the drums are the difference). Great use of analogue sounding synths, a pleasure to listen too.
Cru
Whoaaa...Jamid is back! Welcome my friend !:) I see your musical strenghts haven't deserted you. Great groovy stuff
with splendid rhythm and undeniable touch of the 80's !
Keep doing good things...faved!:)
Stay tuned and best wishes______Orlando
Hello jam!
Appreciate your bass synth tune...that's incredible...you got that 80's feeling so well...
Handshake, Danke
I love the rhythm of this and the variation of sounds! There aren't to many songs that make me want to dance at 2 in the morning. Nice work!
