Listen To How To Forget Electronic Song By Toastedavalanche At Looperman.com

Description : I've always wanted to make a track about how it feels to suffer from anxiety. On days when everything seems so incredibly overwhelming, it seems that the mind becomes a manic, unwieldy, crunching machine that doesn't want to stop.
I can honestly say that the song in itself has caused it's fair share of anxiety, with over a hundred homemade samples it's been a difficult beast at the best of times. Anyway, it's here now, please enjoy.

Haha. I'm glad you liked the track. It's something waaaay different from my usual. It's not where I want it to be, but I'm amazed I got this far with it. So it's a win in my book :p

Thanks for your comments. Always appreciated.

listening through the mixing issues there lies the beat of a really creative song that has a really strong message. I also love the vocals and they need to stand out more. This is like a raw demo of a Kate Bush cloudbusting era tune from a male perspective! Keep working at this one.

Thanks for listening Crucethus. I've only recently started listening to Kate Bush. Although I remember seeing the video for Experiment IV as a kid and having nightmares for weeks. Anyways, I love how every song she makes has it's own unique signature. They're always engaging, but never sound like Pop from a can :P
I think I may put this track aside for a while and re-evaluate it at a later date. Otherwise I may end up making it worse and I'll lose it anyway. Thanks again.

One of the best tracks I've been listening here on Loopey
in past few weeks. This is what I call a good taste! Unpretentious but full of creativity and skillfullness. On top of it vocals and interpretation are splendid ! What a pitty I can't download this.:(...Big 'fav'!

Compliments and respect______Orlando

Hi Orlando.
Really glad you like the track and that you don't find it pretentious (I always find myself thinking "Have I gone too far this time!?"). Sorry about the lack of download, I get the feeling that I may go back and tweak a few things that still don't sit right in the mix. I appreciate the 'fav' though, always makes me smile :)

Hi Danke. Really glad you like the track. I worked so hard on building and mixing it, that by the time I recorded the vox I was scared I might ruin it! I'm glad it paid off though. I'm sorry I didn't give you the chorus you would've liked, but I had no idea what to sing on those parts. And I'd rather have no vocals than half-arsed ones :P

Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.
