Carbon Textures Featuring Joe Cramer - Promenade2239

hello and thank you for such a nice review!

Yes, it is very special and quite original music as I really like incorporating ambient spacious kind of elements. I recorded almost everything simply playing on the keyboard but it was challenging to find a good balance and mix everything properly (from start to finish took me 5 hrs in one session - I usually do not work that long).
I also make music using only loops sometimes (it sounds closer to so called mainstream then, I guess) but my current looperman music is mostly about experimantation - also I do a lot of online collaborations.

I am glad you enjoyed this track!

All the best to you,
Alex

thanks for your comment! Kick is from Akai Rhythm Wolf - very low tuned kick layered with low Akai bass. I multitracked it adding different effects. Bassline was made on Microbrute but I was going for some pumping effect here only so it will not even sound as a bassline. Just keep going of layering sounds inside the 'kick drum'. Offbeat snare shots is Roland JunoDi 'Jazz Brush kit' - it was quite hard to mix them along the analog warm sounds. Jazzy sounds/backgrounds/atmospheres are all Roland patches which I played from the keyboard. There is one song I like in particular https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HROMVIHGpLE very minimal one and it is a very classy/classic sort of electronic inspiration.
Really wanted to make everything myself entirely from scratch here.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for listening.

Thank you Friend! Indeed very different and (on the stylistical level) inspired by your music as well (especially pumping bassline in octaves sort of thing). I tried to make it a kind of House but the jazzy elements are not that very prominent and probably were lost somewhere in the mix. I am really glad you liked this track and some strangeness on the vocals I introduced! I invested a lot of energy in this one.

I am happy that you found some of the materials I sent useful and inspiring. I am thinking a lot of making some piano recordings at last - quite intense time now and a lot of outdoor work.

Thanks for nice review and the fave!

Hello Joe!

I am glad you liked this version! Thanks for your nice words and your appreciation to what I do - I really wanted to keep it very minimal this time. Sure I will be making more electronic in the future and will try that other Agent23 project as well. I will contact you as soon as I get inspired.
Thank you again for your vocals and all your support! Alex

Hi Brado
Thanks for nice comments! Cru is entirely right about this one being rather a Techno one - I used analog synths for making drums and bassline. I sliced the vox and used IL Gross Beat to process it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z-fQqBFQs8
Till next time, A.

hello Steve
Thanks for nice words. I can always grab house loops and make more and more proper house track, no problem with that.
It is 128 BPM but who cares. Everything is mixed inside Joe's vocal and I created that disco-type bassline on Microbrute myself.
I can not remember 1998.

Glad you liked and faved. LOL
