Description : Here is my new genre and I call it 'electrocellometallo', or just 'cellometallo' though this is also a dance track. My aim was to make some dirty groove metal without using any guitar. Instead, all of what sounds like heavy guitar is actually distorted, bowed cello (yes, it's my cello playing). There are also no bass instruments (eg bass guitar, synth bass) as that's cello, yet again. I only played one proper cello bassline - the rest of the bass is incorporated within the dirty cello riffage. Other instruments: Fender Rhodes (clean and then distorted) a few synth arps, a synth pad and soaring, sample-based strings. Lots of fat beat drum loops and two programmed hard rock kits. I enjoyed making this but let me know what you think. Interesting and intelligent analysis appreciated. Humour is also permitted...
Description : Hello People, hows it goin? Well here I am with my new cover and yes, you read it right... its 'THING CALLED LOVE' by one of my favourite EDM artists Above & Beyond. Its a fusion of Lounge, Ambient & Indian Ethnic elements and some experimental sounds too. I just hope you like my rendition.
And yes, There is a thing called Share that we all forget, So if you genuinely like my cover, Please share!
Cheers! :D

Description : A test drive..:)
UPDATE - 20th Apr 2017...Not anymore..-:)
Description : A fat groove journey incorporating hip hop, jazz, rock and more. Chilled out and rocking, with some big riffs and basslines. The main instruments are saxophone, piano and cello plus some resonator guitar and banjo. Sax is the only instrument not played by me as the parts here were contributed a few years ago by a guy I know. Anything that sounds like distorted guitar is actually distorted cello. Loads of that, including solos, in the second half. No electric guitar or bass guitar. Not much synth work but there are two synth basses and an organ. Otherwise, it's quite an acoustic "played instruments" kind of sound. Lots of drums, including loops, multiple programmed acoustic kits and drum hits. I know Radiohead have an excellent song called Everything In Its Right Place but I still like my title and there's a story behind it (nothing to do with music). Interesting feedback appreciated. Do you have any favourite or least favourite sections? Details are appreciated...
Description : happy new year to all the looperman community!

Description : Electronic fusion of Dubstep/Trap/Hip hop hybrid. Big ups to Danke,Neezle,and Joe Funktastic for the use of some of their loops. The majority of this track is my creativity. Hope you like it and comments are welcome.
Delightful day, dashing doer of daring deeds! I hope all is well, across the Atlantic.
No need to get up. I'll only be a minute.
Trrrrrrrrack!
We begin with some warped chugging that almost sounds like there is a wah in action. Getting a pretty good tone from that bad boy. Establishing a nice groove. Extra notes at 0:40 are nice. Plucking there?
1:17 tone is a cool, grinding, industrial sound. Fits well there. Ends abruptly to make way for more chugs.
1:46 break has some interesting runs in it. Sounds a bit complex for the cello. Synth afterwards is very nice. Not out of place here at all.
3:41 break is very nice. Reminds me of Queensryche.
4:13 synth seems out of place, but sounds good at 4:42. I'd peel that back so it all hits at once on 4:42.
Active section at the end is slippery, digital and made of glass, with brass tubing running through. Futuristic steampunk.
Good stuff indeed! You seem adequately confident in your new tool. We'll have to mesh cello and lap-steel some time,... without crossing the streams.
Sorry it took me an eternity to listen and review. Not fired up the desktop computer in a while till a few days ago. Been icing the shoulder, and it's hard to do that consistently and be playing guitar. I have, however, used Paul-Stretch in my latest endeavor, with surprising results. Only stretched it 300%, but it gave it dark chanting, industrial steam purges and gong-like accents. Diggin it! May be the outro. Track should be around 7 minutes. We'll see.
Evan, letting the rabbits wear glasses, saving our brothers, feverishly looking for an amen, then thanking Jesus.
Hey I forgot to mention I just saw a news headline that terrorist's have hijacked a plane full of cellists in Amsterdam. They called down to ground control with their list of demands and added that if their demands weren't met, they are prepared to release one cellist every hour!
These guys are despicable !!!!
Cello Mr. Static, Cello !
Nice groovin' track bro. I'm just as impressed as the rest that this is all Cello. Especially how your able to exude those chugs and riffs with the bow. You do know that the next step for you now is to take that bow to your guitar ala Jimmy Page. I have to ask though, what in the world prompted you to want to learn to play the cello? Just curious. Anyhow back to the track...another mentionable note is how you maintained the structure and didn't go off on a 3 or 4 minute jam which keeps it relatively short compared to most of your tracks. Even though the cello is definitely the star in this, there is also quite a bit of tasty synth sprinkled in there as well. I'm not so sure about categorizing this as Metal. Maybe "Hard Cello" or "Progello" would be more realistic. Irrespective, you certainly are blazing a new trail here which is what we really dig here at Looperman and what we all aspire to be able to do. You continue to raise the bar for all of us in terms of that. Loads of props on what you have been able to accomplish in a relatively short time in regard to the Cello.
Keep em coming man !!!
Oh my, the intro... Oh dude... When them drums kick in :D ... That vocal sample is on point.
My headphones are screwed so I cannot comment on the mix..
The break is fantastic and complements the return very well..
@4:14 a great switch, evolving, then back to that southern/nola feeling riffage.. Well done dude, I'm very impressed.
The concept & execution is fantastic..
You must excuse my absence, work has been killing me.. But
I have a new musical venture set for October so you'll hear many tunes coming out soon.
Yeah, yeah, yeaaaaaaaah! (slams face into a table of white powder while throwing up the rock symbol...not really lol!) An Instant Fav! Could you be the world's first Rock & Roll Cellist? This track was a very creative effort and major kick ass! I was laughing my ass off that you were pulling off those "Metal Riffs" on cello. I could just picture you doing the "Head Banger" routine while playing cello lol!
At about 2:14 the "keys" come in, but the way you played it I almost mistaked it for "A Bass Harmonic", very nice. And those drum kits you chose...umm, umm, Super Kick Ass!! It gave the tune that constant, relentless, pounding-groove-forging-on! Man this track works on so many levels, innovatively and sonically. In other words "This Track Be Tha Shiz-nit!"
Big D Outtro! (Drops mic on stage, gets into Elvis pose, points hands to the left, exits stage left.)
Peace.
A fantastic tune! It felt liked it dipped a bit in the middle, but then it came back even stronger towards the end.
It also sounds ripe for some lyrics over the top, but even without anything added it's still a high quality track.
Thanks for sharing :)
I've been thinking of getting a violin or cello for some time to experiment with electronically.
You might have just convinced me to go for it.
Brilliant heavy heavy sound there.
Hey :)
Regarding the points you mentioned below, I guess I did not express myself correctly. I was aware that this is a real Cello played by you, and that you manipulated the sound electronically or with effects (as we do with guitars etc). What I MEANT was that it would have been nice to have a clean acoustic cello sound in there - but that was just a suggestion, and does not mean the song is incomplete with out it. So my bad.
"Maybe would have been nice to have some sort of real Cello in there somewhere"
All the cello is real!
It really is all real, electric cello really played by me. For real.
I go to some trouble to include as much useful info as I can in my track descriptions so people have some understanding of what they're hearing and how it was made. It annoys me how many people on this site put up almost no info so you have to ask things like "Hey, is this all samples?", "Are you playing the guitar here?", "Whose vocals are these?" and so on.
Yes, I only briefly referred to me playing the cello in my track description but if you go down and read some of my replies, I talk about it quite a bit.
Perhaps I've confused you because I accept that the cello does sound unusual here. I would never guess that all that heavy, distorted riffage is cello. Perhaps you're just asking for some more obvious, traditional bowed cello sounds. You can hear some of those sitting underneath the distorted Rhodes as things get funky just before it goes heavy again for the third and final movement. The bowed cello there just has reverb on it so there's no processing to fool you.
"Humour and/or interesting and intelligent analysis appreciated..." So I am not going to tell a musical joke this time :D (and yes I knew even then it was not what you meant by it - but that is humour, isn't it? )
Regarding the song, I find it fantastic what you did with the cello. Really interesting. I like the transformation from a heavy metal style first part, to the second part that is some sort of progrock, and it gets more and more chill and electronic as it goes along. Smooth transition between the styles, does not seemed forced. Really nice. Did you plan this to begin with or did it happen naturally?
Maybe would have been nice to have some sort of real Cello in there somewhere - but but but there are always so many options and ifs and buts for any music piece...
So, well done, I like it - a really interesting song!
Yeah man, with violin, Im refering to all strings in the song.
The kick can act as the true subbass, as the bass can, in the mix one always takes the sub space. Also, the strings muddle the line between guitar and bass, no need to add more bass.
The digital, I like it, didn't mean it in a bad way.
You ever release some of this songs to the public? Like youtube, bandcamp?
Man, apart from an awesome song, those violins just sound awesome, it's weird, it sounds really digital and sounds awesome at the same time. It's like a litte mix of industrial chill out stoner with distorted violins.
Works perfectly, don't need no "bass".
Awesome work man
Is this the new track you were referring to in your comment on my song? Dude, this track sounds AWESOME. Has your style written all over it, written with bullet holes and just plain ol' boss-ery (is that a word?). It's like, psychedelic metal meets acid lol. Idk what to compare it to really, it's just..Reminds me a bit of Metallica at some parts, if they were all your sons. Beautiful work here. Your cello additions really add a whole new element to the track itself and make it really stand out. I think my favorite part was the keys (?) that you played at 3:12. Ahhh, and that jazzy transition at 3:50, almost consumed by those wide pads (or stretched guitars?), was actually extremely clever. I really wish I could see your process of recording this stuff, it's really awesome to hear how you manipulate so many different sounds to make a track like this. I could definitely learn a thing or two. Ever thought about making a tutorial video? A "Sit In with Nomad" type of video haha. Just an idea, I'd love to watch it, really.
This song has no need of being louder. I think it's awesome as it stands. This is your style in a nutshell - taking something heavy and awesome and making it Nomadic and even more epic. Hats off to you!
Brado
Like an old timey carbureted engine starting, is the intro. there is a weird sound at the end of each measure that sounds like Japanese words that someone is saying in stereo. Or I am just losing it finally!. Cool tune so far. I think you are advancing this sound well beyond apocalyptica ever did. Strings at 3.25 are exquisite. and then you hang them out to dry in the neversphere. hmmm sounds like a familiar plan. Then we get funky until 4:44. Then the clodding drums come back. I christen this genre Cellosludge. That Bubble an Squeak synth was cool until the ending pad says..enough!.
Good work.
lovely song, perfect length.
Crumonade
great talkshaw under...:-)
mr.nomad!
donno how much real musician moves here in between the 1.370.000 members but there aren't much groovy kings as you...incredible rock, metal, chill, fusion, electro mix from you...the main riff is like a dump...tones of bricks...'beautiful' moment from the history of the loopey...
Like this track very much and I will take too many listenings still...
Handshake and thanx for the upload, Danke
Indeed.
Hi. Nice. This doing real man.
Hi. Nice. This doing right man.
