Description : R&B track inspired by Brody Brown's work on Bruno Mars' new album. Brown would be entirely unimpressed by this track, of course. He's a really fine musician. I've left the electric piano lines that are meant for vocal parts in the track. If ever I found a lyricist and and singer that could do something with this track, I'd produce a backing track version without those parts. Lots of room for a good singer to build on the melody ideas and make it their own.

Thanks, Rusty. Saw your DM. I'd be more than happy to modify the track for you if you want to use it somehow. Let me know.

Great sounds all over.

I'm especially fond of the synth that starts around 1:08, and the subtle strings that come in later on.

The melody lines sounded unique to me.

The bass ostinato fit way better than one would think.

Great dynamic contrast as well.

Nice job!

Thank-you, Gipish. I spend a lot of time on the melodies for my tracks. As for the bass, I actually have always wanted to play real electric bass, but never got the chance. I'm thinking of doing some online bass lessons to improve the bass parts for my tracks. I think there's something really satisfying about laying in a really tasty bass part. When I played in bands, I was on drums, guitar, or keyboard. Never touched a bass. I'm getting my revenge now, I guess! :)

"But, for some reason, I seem to be creating stuff that links back more to the music I grew up with."

The best music I have ever listened too has the ability to sound new and futuristic and also look back in the past and take from there as well. The best advice I have for someone like you Eric is make the music that you like too listen too. Just by doing that you will become amazing. Like this track. It has some cool r&b vibes. I would mix that Rhodes piano with the nice phase effect back into the background (yes I know it will parallel your vocal ideas) but you can then think about adding a quiet guitar lick, and then a subtle percussion fill and so on which will fill out your song better. Otherwise I like the sounds.

A wise comment and sage advice, from you, Crucethus. I think you are right on the money. I do struggle with finding the something that sounds new and futuristic. I find that I am still working on getting that sound that I hear in my head. I appreciate your suggestions for remixing the Rhodes, making room for some guitar. Getting good guitar parts is a challenge for me, I must admit. I've got several virtual instruments but I find them very limiting and complex to use. And, as for the percussion fills, that's just me being lazy. I'm glad you called me on it. I can do better.

My favorite part is when the strings come in at 3:15. Gives it a more than love feeling but like an eternal bond. Definitely a lot of space for lush vocals, in my mind I can hear an old school singer like Marvin Gaye but then I also heard like a duet between a man and woman. Keep up the good work. Peace & Blessings.

Thanks for you kind comment, Benton. I for sure can heard an old school singer like Marvin (definitely somebody I admired greatly). I hadn't thought of a duet, but on reflection I can see/hear what you mean. I think it comes from the interweaving melody lines toward the end of the track. That's a really interesting suggestion. :)

Thank-you, Jamid. I have removed almost all of the tracks I've posted over the years on Looperman and am starting over. I started off here trying to produce EDM, probably gravitating toward trance. Fellow Looperman members were encouraging and supportive, but the truth is that I really wasn't all that good at it. That was disappointing. I really like the music. But, for some reason, I seem to be creating stuff that links back more to the music I grew up with. I guess that's not the worst direction to go in. Backwards? :)

Description : A reimagining of my original track Drive which was uploaded some time ago. This time a female vocal has been added with the help of AceStudio and the track updated somewhat to a hopefully better standard.

Enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create a Euro dance anthem with a hip hop beat and a lower bpm than the traditional 128 to 136 bpm range. This is the beat I created. No AI has been used in this track. I created everything myself. It is a purely instrumental beat. I used Rapid Synth for the euro lead sound and the melody has been composed by me. The drums are a loop from this site.

Description : "All my songs are inspired by the work of the bands King and Jester and Kukryniksy. I wrote the lyrics for this track, and the music was created by artificial intelligence. The lyrics are original; I wrote them myself. I don't have the ability to create music for this track, but I hope you'll at least like the lyrics." I'm presenting these tracks to you in the form of a demo - this is what they might sound like; I want you to evaluate my lyrics.
