Description : Dear Loopers...Let Ed and me take you to the world of yet another musical fantasy born out of our latest collab efforts. Ed provided basic structure of the track with ever solid rhythm section, tasty synths and vocal pads while I took
on a role of pretending to be multi-instrumentalist again by smuggling in some sweet strings, bulgarian flute, celtic harp,
unexpectedly blurry piano and this time a tiny bit of real live acoustic guitar...what an adventure for a vst/keyboard guy..:) As always
my sincere thanks to Ed not only for letting me enjoy his great musical company but also for still standing as one of the firm pillars of Looperman society !

If you have time take a listen and give Orlando51 some feedback.

This is really a relaxing piece of music, and also mysterious in the very best of ways!

For some reasons I started getting flashbacks of various songs form The Doors, such as "Riders On The Storm." Maybe if Jim M had lived much much longer, then The Doors would have delved into works such as this. Once people like Ed and yourself made it past age 27, then you already had an advantage though. When you work together, that sort of advantage really shows in the work!

This is beautifully composed and very special sounding, in range and depth. I could almost imagine that I was listening to the authentic versions of the represented instruments. The unusual synthetic aspects added so much interest, and were nearly unexpected. I like the unexpected, in most cases!

Very fun and pleasing to the ears! Can't wait to hear more from your "band" as it's always a pleasure! Fave!

Sorry for the late reply Pat, but lately I'm here and there all the time...:)
Most intetresting that the Doors and "Riders" come to mind,
very generous indeed. Yeah, I think we did it with Ed quite nicely this time and thank you so much for recognizing that
and also thanks for the 'fav'...means alot!

That flute is lovely.
The instruments compliment each other so well and it flows so naturally it's like the gentle stream of a river refreshing you inside of your head.
A talented collab, great track guys.

Leon, another winner. I love how your production brings a different value to Ed´s melody. 1:42 the heart of the emotion of the piece shines through. The strings (as zacoos pointed out ) bring a melancholic feel to the piece. The rhythm is definitely Ed. I like the use of SFX as well, creates a nice ambience, even some reverse sounds. A lot of good production went into this one. great work.

Hi,

Lovin this. A beautiful tapestry of sounds. Captivating and
enchanting.
The only thought I had was that the drums could be a bit more varied.
A taste thing really....more an observation than a criticism, said in
the spirit of perfection :))

Loved it...

When I say releasing albums I don't mean what many nowadays on here say when they upload something to the internet!
But you know that already.

I too use a USB MIDI keyboard but I can never get it to sound like yours!
In fact before coming on here tonight I've spent an hour or more with my head phones on having a glass of Irish and enjoying the bazillion sounds I can create at my finger tips. Just swirling them around my head.
I came away with nothing.
If I'm still here in a hundred years I might be as good as you but ... you'll always be a hundred years ahead of me!
Another piece that screams .... why the hell aren't you releasing albums?

Wow, Orlando. Nice write-up on this one in additional to super interesting track. I've been out of the loop for a while so I don't know how many of these collabs you have been doing with Ed but they are beautiful. Big fav! Regards, Dan
Orlando51
Orlando51 replied 4th Jun 2017 - 9 years ago
Many thanks for this positive feedback and the 'fav' Dan.:)
Really means alot! We're doing collabs regularly since 2014
mostly within few months intervals, sometimes even less. Our last collab was posted just a month ago and I hope there will be many more cause working with Ed is a true blessing...:)

miracle mirage

another stunning track mr.orlando...everything is perfect...those fxes and that shadowed piano too...rhythm section is copyright by Ed, if I close my eyes I could 98%/ ##### that it's coming from him...mood is superb...like a world music theme...what I very much like in your creations, is the free spirit...jammy melodies, huge instrumentations...all in all, another outstanding song from the lab...fav, dl, handshake, Danke
Orlando51
Orlando51 replied 4th Jun 2017 - 9 years ago
Thank you so much my friend...so nice to hear your kind and encouraging words. This one was a special treat cause I decided to deal with some more instruments than usual when doing collabs with Ed...there was even one more instrument
which was mixed out later on...this will certainly stay as a memorable experience to me particularly when I think that I managed to compose and record some of my nicest violin parts to date...I rarely say something in self-praising manner (in most cases right the opposite) but when I do it must have firm ground in my conviction.
Many thanks again for all the support and another'fav'!:)

So I was listening to a piece and trying to get through it but couldn't because it just didn't change - 4 minutes of a 12-second melody loop isn't really a song. So I abandoned it and went looking for something I could sink my teeth into and when I saw the honored names of these collaborators I clicked play. And was not, never am disappointed. You guys know how to do it. The piece moves. It changes. It evolves. It rolls like a river through changing terrain. It has layers of sound, of mood, of feeling that engage your ears and mind and heart and hold them, breathless, while the music carries you on its journey. This is music you can listen to over and over again and continually hear new things, because there's a cinematic complexity to the harmony. Great work, as always!

Description : Hmm, it's a very stressful week to wait for some biopsy results and then I made a decision - let's do something.
Surfing through the acapellas on Looperman I found quite interesting vocal track by RayKoefoed ( it's a 16 years old file ). Well, loved the lyrics either :)
Here we are - an electronic dance type track with a punk style singing.
The first time I was doing something like this:) :) :)
Chill out guys.

And here it is a "nightingale" singing in an unknown language (Aalle Elvish) in a fairytale world... Many thanks to Lesperado and Elven voice for this wonderful acapella ! (Please see lyrics in English).
This track, which I had uploaded last year too, required some extensive retouching. I hope you like it !

Description : This fragment, tells you a little story about me. Before iam going to upload something again. Its been a while since i was here. But somehow i never forgotten about this place. Because in the early days of looperman. This was my place to be as well. And somehow it will always remain a soft spot within me. And yeah it was probably time for me to return back to this place anyways. And see what happend and changed here all together throughout the times. when i left the place some while ago.
