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 : 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 : 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....
Description : Written for Claudio's birthday (my Italian friend) in obvious waltz manner and with slight classical touch this tune appears to me almost painfully simple and minimalistic (and indeed it is)....and yet, Claudio who's very familiar with my music says that this is one of the nicest pieces of music I've ever written even if it wasn't his birthday present....well, who knows if he's right..:)^^
Nice music ...humanity feelings ...that's fine friend.
Nice track
Very moving. Enjoyed it!
very nice mlody , superb song..quality clean!!
Man Orlando, your musical learning curve has gone up a few levels I hear. You definetly know how to create some great musical expression. The first part is an almost classical piece of art. Very nice and warm instruments combined with a great melody in the first part with the guitar ramping up a bit of tempo in the second part. The only thing I personally would leave out ist the drum part at the end. I think less is more here. Nevertheless big complemnts for ccreating this very nice piece of music!
really nice track just wish it had a drumline
Sounds cool and kinda trippy !
Nice little post war etude :)
You play the guitar, like always, very well my friend. Very nice stuff. Dreamy and in a way chilly. I like the last part of the second part most but all the others are also really good for sure.
Just for a little practicing it is really cool stuff and the mix sounds very well.
Nice work here! I enjoyed the listening.
stay tuned
joe
Man...this amazing through and through, first half and second.
Very exciting work here, and the composition is very beautiful! Various performances are quite well played, most obviously the guitar part. As some have mentioned, this all sounds very clear. All of it is very minimal, yet sonically deep and interesting.
I often merge two or more individual ideas, especially when they all stemmed from a similar moment, experience, or feeling. These two ideas of yours obviously had similar momentum behind them. In this way, they work great as a single concept.
I think this doubt and suspicion which has been mentioned is a big part of being an artist. It seems that there is always that moment where one must decide that something is "good enough" to be considered finished. There are of course those art projects which may never be finished, and the work outlasts the artist. I do know that to me your songs sound finished, with their own individual sheen.
Truly exceptional work you've done on this song. Fave!
yo this is trippy as hell. The instruments fit perfect and give off a great vibe. keep it up bro!
The guitar work on this track sounds amazing! I think the combination of tracks/ideas spices it up really nicely and the change in speed serves it well also..
great job
tony
Lovely. Stilled my mind. Made me feel peaceful. Good blend of the two. The transition in the middle - a bend in the river, from a broader, slower flow to more flurries of rapids, but still the same river. I like the two planes, the plane of bowing and the plane of plucking - gave plenty to engage my ears and mind with the ineffableness of it all. Great build at the end. Loved it.
You have proved once again that you have the talent to create great songs like this. It surprised me, the feeling of this song is absolutely beautiful that I listened to several times on my headphone, one of the most exciting parts, is 1:50. great job.
with respect_Anubis
Love that guitar to open up with some sweet strings. Melencholy but sweet , almost bitter-sweet as a melody. like a modern day Pachelbel's Canon approach.
great job. The second half almost sound like a soldier coming home from the war. excited to be returning, sad at the destruction all around him. Nice adaigo tempo in the second half. Congrats!
Steve
Hello Leon ....
I can do nothing to reproach what I listen .... The light of music is very much present, and these two parts marry very well.
We sometimes have a few lassitudes, but the harmonies, and the pleasure of mastering them, returns inevitably.
I hope you are well ....
Dan
Orlando, how are you, friend?
I know you're not too pleased with this one, but I can assure you, this is good. One thing I've noticed, and I may be wrong, my sincerest apologies if I am, but from my perspective, you often times seem unsure of your own work. Which, although, can lead to a stronger drive to improve, can also be a hinderence.
Looperman is the first time I had ever publicly shared my work. After the first couple tracks, it occurred to me that by preemptively mentioning that which I was unsatisfied with, I was handing all of you guys a screwup checkoff list. I figure it this way. Give us your best, and give us your worst, if no one complains about a single thing on the worst, then they're both your best.
As far as this track goes, it's a fantastic piece. It's very calming and relaxed. The mix is crystal clear. I can almost hear running water, and a symphony of birds in the bacground.
One thing that's cool about this is, and maybe because we've all been spoiled by you and Ed's collaborations, even though it's a complete piece on it's own, there's still plenty of room for more.
Beautiful work as always, my friend.
Take care.
Aaron
Wow this is so beautiful! I turned it on and almost forgot I had it playing because it just has such a relaxed and natural vibe! Love it.
Well...Leon...I shouldn`t be surprised, but this is really a superb tonic for the ears this Sunday afternoon...nice to hear the use of the waltz time sig in that first section...loved the acoustic guitar and your violin always sings the sweetest music (nicely accompanied with the cello & other strings).....You nailed that transition perfectly to marry the two parts up...nice build of instrumentation throughout..and the second part leaves me with a smile on my face....Bravo...big fav & I will be hitting that download button......Ed
nice track
sounds like it should be in a 90s drama
keep working BRUV
