Requiem For A Surf Movie - Planetjazzbass

Hey Malu, wow man coming from a pro like yourself that's music to my ears! I sometimes think the little audio asides I add maybe counter productive to the main groove so it's good to hear their working out fine, very much appreciate you stopping for a listen mate!...cheers Dave :)

Hey thanks Laurent, very much appreciated! cheers Dave :)

Ok jamie your new here so I'll give you as little grief as I can about what you've done, while I'm pleased that you liked my track you have absolutely no right to use it in any shape or form without my express permission to do so, I own the complete copyrights to all my tracks posted here, unlike my loops which are royalty free and need no permissions. So because I'm a reasonable person I won't take any further action against you however if you do this again to me or anyone else here at Looperman it'll be a different story, not so much from my end but the other members won't be so understanding and will start proceedings to have you removed from the site and even litigate against you.

Hey Pat, thanks for dropping me a listen, very much appreciated...when are we going to hear some of your totally awesome talent again? soon I hope! cheers Dave :)

Hey mate great to see you in the Looperverse again!...man I'm looking forward to checking out your new track which I'll be doing as soon as I finish my reply here, mate I love playing the guitar so thanks for the props but I can only pray that one day I'll get to about 20% of your ability and that would do me! haha ...speaking of guitar just after I finished this track I rearranged my studio setup and in doing so unplugged the usb cable from my PodHD500, I'm always careful with my gear so I wasn't impressed when I discovered that the usb port's middle section on the 500 had broken, apparently this is a very common fault on an otherwise bulletproof fx unit, I've had the thing apart and replaced the usb port but I'll have to do it again as it's still not connecting to the computer, even if I can't fix it it's still programmable manually but even so it'll be a bit of a bummer, so take it easy with yours (mine was obviously built on a Monday! lol...man we'll need to get together for a collab some time! great to hear from you buddy..cheers Dave :)

Hey Nate, thanks buddy glad you enjoyed the track....cheers Dave :)

Hey Pat thanks buddy!...there is absolutely nothing better than walking, it's the best way for me anyway to get the mind to function, you get random, you get focus, you get it all..never tried frisbee golf , but I like to think that myself and a ski buddy of mine invented ski fris back in 1970, we'd find a big open not too steep run and ski down passing the fris between us and we got some mammoth moves in, we had a ball but the weird thing was we encountered one big problem, after awhile the frisbees would break straight down the middle perfectly in half, the plastic got too cold and brittle, even my black super pro model busted! haha...thanks for taking the time to listen mate, I always value your opinion as I know you tap your creative compass from the source...cheers Dave :)

Hey Ed thanks buddy!..it's interesting that "surf" music in the traditional sense is now relegated to a seldom visited pigeon hole and never (if ever) used by contemporary film makers, you get anything from deep house to rockabilly to full on dub, which is understandable seeing as the stuff we grew up on is prehistoric! haha..that's fine with me I'd never try and play The Ventures material it just wouldn't seem right, and apart from anything else I don't use a plectrum and could never pull it off. I've been checking out some Canadian dudes who do arctic surfing they are totally insane and what the do is totally brilliant, the commitment level required is nothing short of mindblowing....you ever get the urge to go tube riding while there's three feet of snow on the ground? haha....thanks again for listening mate, cheers Dave :)

Hey Topclass...thank you for taking the time to listen very much appreciated and especially coming from another guitar aficionado like yourself....all the best Dave :)

Hey Mindhiest, cool man! surfers are down to earth types, good to have one as a boss!..cheers mate Dave :)

Hey mate thanks for taking the time to listen!...yep I love bongos to..I actually have an album called "Bongo Fury" true! haha....all the best Dave :)

Hey Matt thanks man!...yeah that delay can be a two edged sword, I remember when Miles Davis (my hero) used it to excess in the 70's so I always keep that in mind, glad you enjoyed the tune buddy and good to see you back here mate! cheers Dave :)

Hey Robbie thanks man!..good to hear from a fellow guitar enthusiast, I've never been into heavily distorted tones from the guitar in relation to my own playing I find it can muddy up the mix...apart from Hendrix that is! who used it with true artistic expression, glad you liked the track mate, all the best ....Dave :)

Hey Silver thanks man, a very generous review mate!...The intro is intentionally long (though I agree if I was performing this it would be cut right back) as I've been watching a lot of short surfing vids on youtube and have been in touch with a few surf filmakers (with the intent to get them to use some of my music) the indications are that artistically an extended intro gives time to set up the theme and continuity for the films, with stills, montages and heaps of slow motion...thanks again for your time mate!..cheers Dave :)
