Description : Although I certainly do not consider myself a hardcore member of the Looperman community, I like to post my tracks here. Not to satisfy my ego (well, OK, just a bit) but mainly to show appreciation for the vocalists that I so often use in my tracks.

This time I have used the vocals of, again, Shamoozey and also Lily und Wulf. Many thanks for that! Without you guys, my tracks would never be finished :-).

If you would like to give feedback, please feel free to do so.

If you have time take a listen and give DrvanLansberg some feedback.

i love when there is a male and female voice in a track. it immediately creates a dramatic aspect - a narrative. you create a beautiful rich texture with your sounds. nice work!

Thanks for your feedback Spark! I agree that male and female vocals could potentially enlarge each others presence. I have done that once before only however, since it can be quite difficult to find a good match. On the other track I combined Patricia Edwards and RarCharm. Hope to do some more in the near future.

Best, Doc

The female's voice sounds big and compliments the music perfectly. Abstract and different but definitely stands on its own. Is that authentic whistling? I like how the song "feels" slightly off-key (or is it the vocal?) but ever so slightly off-key that it feels. Then good ol' Shamoozy's voice appears and while it sounds rather out there, it oddly works haha! I'd suggest you try to add a little more along side his voice to elevate the sense of change and differentiate the two segments a bit more.

Overall, very great job!

Hi Brado,

Thanks a lot for your comment. I think the female vocal sounds a bit different because it was recorded in E, while my track is in D. I had yo change a few notes manually, but left the rest as it was intended. I think that might add to the feeling that it's a bit different. And yes, the whistling is authentic. Took it as an acapella from looperman as well. The poster asked not to give credits, so I won't :).

And yes, a few tracks are slightly off key. I pitched the pads and repeated rythmic arp slightly up. The pad is also drifting a bit. And Shamoozey is all over the place as well :). Although I grew up playing the violin and was taught that on-key is the way, I really like the off-key feeling.

Many thanks for your suggestion. For some reason I never thought of having Shamoozey's vocal accompanied with a few changes in the other tracks. I'm sure that will work perfectly and it gives me a new goal for improvement.

Best, Doc

Kinda weird, I was thinking "clever" as I was listening. When I opened the track page and saw silverman's review I couldn't help but laugh.

The music is vague, soft and a bit abstract and with drum and some percussion, I liked the bongos and triangle especially. The main vocals, while different seem to all work well together. The vocals that were heavy with effects and more used as an effect popping in the mix helped the overall ethereal feel of the track and added interest as I listened and enjoyed. Dig the whistling, I have to try doing that sometime.

Well done!

Hi there Wayne!

First of all, thanks for listening and your reply. Secondly, I really need to start finding out the meaning of "clever" in a musical context :-). I am from Amsterdam, so English is not my native language.

The whistling is not something I did myself. I used it as an acapella which was dropped here at looperman. The poster was quite clear in not mentioning name, and didn't want any feedback either. So, of course I respect that and that's why I didn't mention it.

I have now second thoughts about the use of Shamoozey's line in a second voice. I received quite some advice to take it out...

Anyway, thanks again. Much appreciated.

Clever.
Lily und Wulf I don't know but she sounds wonderful.
Shamoozey I'm familiar with and find something very interesting about his voice. But hell it's so far out off the norm that he's very difficult to do anything with.
For me that is.
You've pulled it off here and made an interesting piece.

Hey Silverman,

Thanks for listening. I wasn't aware of Lily und Wolf either before last Thursday. I was just scrolling through the female acapellas while playing my raw track. And there was a perfect match. And as far as Shamoozey is concerned, to be honest, for me, because he is out off the norm, he is rather easy to work with. This is my 4th track in which I used his vocals. He just gives my clean and software produced tracks a raw edge that I am looking for.

Anyway, thanks for your comment again!

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 : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
