Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs
Description : Just an acoustic/piano piece I threw together a few nights ago when coming home from university. My brother and I were doing some acoustic music together in my room, just having fun; came out with this; I immediately got on my DAW and recorded it before I forgot how ti went lol. Hoping to get some strings on it soon as well as some vocals from the bro! :P In the meantime, enjoy this instrumental.
Description : Here's a lil' acoustic instrumental I never wrote words to. Used a Guild acoustic guitar mic'd with an AKG C214 and my trusty ol' Yamaha MOX8 for other instruments (excluding shaker - that was real ;). You can find the guitar loops to this song on my profile page. Maybe one of you looperpeeps can come up with something for words on this. Otherwise, enjoy le moosic :3
Description : This is an acoustic cover of the song "Come As You Are" by David Crowder. I recorded, mixed, and mastered this one in two days! Almost done burned me out haha! Hope you enjoy!
My older brother does the lead vocals and I do everything else, from instrumentation to harmonies. No vocal-editing whatsoever in this one. The guitars were all one-take recordings. Updated the audio - I added tambourine hits in the 2nd and 3rd choruses; just helps make for a more moving song.
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Enjoy! There is a drumless version too, with completely different atmosphere : https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/181322

Description : It gives me great pleasure to upload this track I did with Richie. Usually we work "backwards", with him building a track around my vocs, but this time his instrumental came first. I love it's encouraging and motivational lyrics and as always Richie's care in making EVERYTHING perfect! :-) Totally didn't know what genre to put it in. Enjoy.

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...
Description : This is my attempt at the one-hour challenge for LM (finished at 57 min 48 sec). I had to mix/master on the go and this was the result. Some bad chords here and there that I did my best to conceal, one-takes on guitar and piano and used an awesome acapella from a1000times, who wrote the words that Dikaiko sang over. I really like her voice. Anyhoo yea, I like this one a lot so probably gonna come back to this in the near future. Comments welcome.
I got the acapella here: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/7656/marauder-feat-dikaiko-by-a1000times-132bpm-dance-acapella
EDIT: This track has been updated. I think I'm going to call it finished :)
Description : BEAUTIFUL guitar with pianino chords. This is sad guitar. But this guitar have a positive mood.
Description : I put this under acoustic even though I did use a couple midi tracks. I felt they sounded acoustic enough to put the track in that category. Suppose it could be chill out as well, however you want to label it, do so. I used an Indian flute and an electric guitar sounding plugin with some tremolo added along with acoustic guitar, mandolin and harmonica. Nothing too complicated here and I felt it sounded good enough to upload so enjoy!
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Had to thank once again the excellent loops to their owners - i think the result is one of my best tracks ever, plus have a slight spaghetti western like feeling which is cool ... Hope you will like it too. :)

Description : Remastered March 2023. Recorded live on two mics. For my wee daughter Tui; I wrote it sitting on the bathroom floor, keeping her company while she was in the bath....
Ahhh all I need is morning and a cup of coffee, or perhaps because it's evening a warm bubble bath. Love the transition here to the (what is it) country vibes? This is so soothing, it belongs in a spa or somewhere people congregate to relax. It's good for my crochet life, and it's good to hear you again Dave! :-)
Mezmerizing! Sounds like music that is well-traveled in emotion and experience. Very mellow and enticing.
I like how you fade out on a capella. you paint an evocative soundscape dave. always love hearing a track from you. regards - Dan
Hey I Don't Have Time To Go In Depth Right Now, But I Promise I Will Tomorrow. This Track Is Highly Influential, And Well Thought Out. I Can Sense A Great Deal Of Work Was Out Into This Production.
- Billion
Also, If You Wouldn't Mind Checking Out My Track And Giving Feedback. I'd Really Appreciate That.
Huh, wha? Sorry I was texting....
A little Jaco influenced intro, perhaps? ;) Great vocals, adds the human element and so much intrigue to the track. Sometimes not knowing the language make for a better listening experience. Cool groove whisking me along, a cool Moroccan night.
Then the change at 2:17 kicks in and a big grin appears on my face! Almost a country feel to that section and totally unexpected. Some nice changes throughout with the steady drums keeping pace.
Always a pleasure Dave!

Wow this is a fantastic peace of music, like the oriental flavour. I like how it mixes blues and bluegrass and fusion and whatnot. I also try to mix some styles, but nowhere as smooth as this. Very fine guitar playing, too.Well done!!
G'day, yo, sup and so on.
This is some fascinating stuff.
Great bass sound first of all. But then at 0:22 it seems too buzzy for the first few notes but then settles down as you move off the high notes.
0:50 cool way the vocals enter with that metallic percussive fill. And they continue and they're very good. Wonderful, emotive vocals that work well with the bass g etc.
2:02 what's the Eastern sounding instrument around here? 2:14 is that slide the same instrument?
Then a total change with that rather cool country guitar. It's great playing but I feel the guitar is just a bit too loud in the mix.
3:06 lovely strings and more tasty guitar. Wide percussive stuff in the headphones.
3:32 awesome high guitar notes, beautifully played. And more follow.
4:04 a break from the guitar at just the right time. Nice to hear what's underneath a lot better. And then the sultry vocals return. This is true fusion music. No surprise as that's what you're into.
4:40 awesome Eastern jangly instrument like a dulcimer. What's that? I need to get that sort of sound into my music, though I've been concentrating on learning the cello for the last few months.
This heavily layered cello track from last month might interest you as I've got some interesting sounds out of it that remind me a bit of acoustic double bass. My pizzicato playing is fine, it's really just the bowing that I'm learning and trying to get half decent at.

To conclude: your track is a very imaginative, emotive and skilfully executed piece of music. I would only tweak a few things (those I've mentioned).
Congrats.
Hey Dave
Wow mate you still putting out very decent tunes, nice relaxing track, loving the vocals, portraying he chill feel within the track, everyone has beaten me to the juicy bits my friend, great change up with the guitar to help wake you back up again lol, love everything about this one, absolute pleasure to the ears...excellent...FAV...mosaic..
planetjazzbass my man, great track. I remember when I first joined up on the ole looperman I came across your loops and was blown away on the quality and depth of them. I used a few in a handful of songs. Thanks for all the uploads, keep em coming!
Yo Dave!
I see (hear :D) you made another masterpiece of your unique musical style... It's always cool to listen to your really complex works, every time they gives some interesting thoughts or/and feelings, at least to me. Keep up the good work! :)
regards, traz
Hello Dave!
I'm very proud to be in this community which gave me a chance to listen to this artwork...one of the best fusion track what I've ever heard...I'm 50 and listen to music for 45 years...:-)
Hats off and handshake, Danke
Wow!
Incredible piece of jazz country rock eastern market trader busking!
I'm a bit lost for words.
There cannot be any definitive description for this.
The mood the taste the flavours and aromas this evokes are absolute magic with some kind of eastern promise in a very western setting.
This is one of them I'm blown away moments.
Got to have a commercial worth as well as being artistically top end.
im sitting at work, waiting to get the hell out of here and i stumble across this absolutely AMAZING piece of work. you really outdid yourself. i love the arrangement. i got this intense feeling (for me anyway) that the beginning of the track was tantamount to a few strangers (the instruments) trying to understand each other. the woman being the central figure of the conversation... and then they all click for the second part of the act. it was such a great listen, Brother. really, just beautiful.
I was just gliding along...appreciating the bass playing and vocal over that subtle backing pad...then the first of the diversions into that kind of country blues-rock whacked me with a big smile...love the way you just glide out of that section around 3:05...and on into the smooth next one (like the way you walked the bass around there too)...I was thinking you were using your fretless in that first section till I read your later comments..never did try an acoustic one but I did try a set of those black nylon wound jazz strings on my first JBass (around 65)...Your posts are always a treat for the ears and inspiration for the mind Dave...the production is fantastic, but having such a great arrangement...the composing imagination...and playing talent really sets a standard that few will meet....superb work all round...really enjoyed this one...Ed
Good work man ... Bass is interesting ...
This is very cool and deeply interesting! Where did you find these vocals? They are pretty haunting in some way, and well recorded. The bass work sounds great as well... is that your upright bass? Quite the unexpected change in the middle there! Very jam band, improvisational stuff in this part. I hear jazz, blues, rock, pop, folk... and it's all rolled into one indefinable wrapper... like a fine cigar. Very fun to hear, and thought provoking! I found myself dreaming about playing bass all night last night, and this song encourages me even further, so thank you for that. Amazing song! Fave!
Percussion, percussion, percussion. That is the delight to me in this track. Oh and the fretless bass. Yes the vox may be gibberish to my syntaxic brain, but the melodies are divine. Very nice guitar with a classic Aussie (historically) reverb on the slightly distorted guitar twangs. Syncopated percussion and the overdriven guitars give me a mid seventies progressive era vibe. Tastefully mixed. Excellent ending on the vox. Overall a pleasant journey and a great job PJB. U get 2 turntables and a microphone for those efforts. ;-)
