Description : This is a very personal song that I wrote about 3 years ago. I've tried to record it a couple of times, but it's never quite worked. But I think I've pinned down the sound this time. Let me know your thoughts.

    you have a good control over voice and a nice tone. for my taste vocal could be a bit more in front of mix. I like all the sounds you choose. create a neat atmosphere in this song. nice work!

    Hi its quite a dark piece which is what attracted me to it.
    Theres a sort of Mad World/Gary Jules theme to it - love it

    I accidentally hit the post button, ha. I wanted to mention that I liked the lyrics, they sit in the mix well and the pizzi strings was a cool add. Is there a mandolin in there?

    From personal experience I can say I've had that same problem with mixing and production. Good to hear you got what you were looking for.

    Another great song...very musical and poetic at the same time. Good intro with dark and massive piano sets the mood very nicely. Vocals and interpretation are a very bright point as well, while the arrangements overall sit within the concept very nicely. Maybe I would rethink a few things
    in mixing/production department (but just maybe), particularly the volume levels of actual instruments, but this minor doubt doesn't detract me from fully enjoying this wonderful and emotional tune ! Faved !:)

    Compliments and respect_____Orlando

    Very deep, dark song with your low-toned vocal...very much like it...I know that the song is measured on it's own state but for me all of your numbers a bit short...could listen it for a while...:-)

    Handshake and hats off, Danke

    Cheers Danke. This one will be longer when I work out how to get the sound I want for the second half. Just need to find the time and patience :P

    Toasted greetings.

    Some foreboding piano notes and then some pleasant strings.

    0:26 sounds like a very brief little reverbed vocal note as the pizzicato enters.

    Vocals seem quite prominent to me. They're good, as usual. Maybe just take the instruments down a bit in level at certain points.

    This is pretty decent at this length but I can really hear how a variety good beats would fit well here. How about doubling the length, with a drum heavy second half?

    I wasn't keen on the final 8 seconds of sound effect. Didn't seem necessary and wasn't how I wanted to remember the piece. I'd also be happy for the song to just start with the piano notes on 0:11. You can tell what did nothing for me in this one!

    Good work, all the same.

    Static salutations.

    Thank you for your informative critique. It's funny that you should mention the idea of a drum heavy second half. It's something I've been experimenting with, but I just can't create or find the drum sound I want atm. It's very frustrating.
    As for the final sound effect, if it's leaving the listener with a bad impression, it will have to go.

    Cheers,

    Nice little number.
    Enjoyed listening.
    I have no idea how these genres are arrived at. This to me sounds like something I would have listened to back in the early seventies from stoner hippy band ... that's a compliment not a put down. Just stressing I really don't the genre thing. My latest effort has the word God in it a few times so for once had no problem which label it was getting ... straight into the religious music group of course!
    One criticism is ... I think the vocals should be a little clearer. Little sharper. Little bit more prominent.

    I don't know either mate. I just panic and choose the first one that seems kinda right. But thanks for listening and for your thoughtful comments.

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : Many of you know well that Tumbleweed & Orlando collabs are pretty much well established tradition within LM society by now, and here is the newest example to reinforce that tradition. It's probably the last this year (yet never take it for granted) and I think it has (although not particularly intended) a bit of that seasonal celebrative nature, thus fitting quite well into this festive feel of December. Despite providing it's share of melancholic tones (you can bet who is responsible...haha...) it's a quite happy tune overall...and it doesn't bite, so you're all most welcome to listen and comment !... As always my sincere thanks to Ed !

Description : The spring is in full motion over here and I guess it helped me quite a bit to complete my part of the job on yet another exciting collab with maestro Tumbleweed. Most of our collab works contain at least some aspect which demonstrates something out of ordinary one or another way. This time we got a peculiar combination of mysticism and merciless attacks of soapiness (my bad....haha)....So let's listen to hear whether I'm right or not!....:) As always on such occasions, all my thanks to Ed !

Description : Hi guys another vocal from me, this time Matthias gave his blessing. It's to his beautiful return track chillout vibe. It's a tribute to my closest here on LM. My voice a few ways including, the balls to do a harmony channel too. There's 30+ shout outs, so listen up, you may here your name. It's community based and some of you play characters. Switch the fucking volume UP, it's a builder. Love the Stokesey and Cyber lines :))) Sorry girls it was a lads love in.
