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 !

Description : Guys, I have been asked again to do another track for another friend's son.
He has asked me to do the track with an eighties heavy ascent.
I have come up with this I hope you all like it.
Description : This is for my friend Danke who can't sleep at night. Yes, heat, heat...I guess Africa is hotter, but don't let the title and intro as well, deceive you! This is not African music nor the imitation of it. It's just a picture of starry African sky at night, painted with my european musical sensibilities and some imagination. So this is for Danke in the first place and then maybe for anyone who would like to fall asleep.:)...
Good night!:)
Description : Un tema sencillo, suave. Espero que les guste.
Description : I just painted a picture of abandoned sanctuary and I thought it could sound like this...:)
Description : I went to the beach and set up my stereo recording mic under a gazebo near it (I apologize for some of the air gusts being recorded haha; we had a strong SE wind that day :P Tried my best to place it out of the wind); wanted to record myself playing live and do some cheesy roleplay in the process - wanted to make it feel like the listener was sitting there beside me. ** This is what the beach looks like: http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/destinations/80/south_padre_island_main.jpg **
Lo and behold, I'm about halfway through the song when my buddy Mark, a friend from college, heard me singing and decided to join me (he seems to never part with his guitar lol).
The expression on his face was that of confusion as to why I had my mic with me and a audio-capturing device, which I plugged into an outdoor electrical plug that the gazebo owners installed lol (I've done recordings like this before but didn't like the results; we messed up a little at the end but I was like meh it's not bad anyways.) but I'm glad he didn't say it out loud or it would have ruined the recording lol. Luckily, I was playing a song he and I wrote together some time ago, so he was able to just jump right in. He's a great guitar player.
Even though it was a little awkward at the end since we hadn't seen each other for like 4 months (you might be able to tell by the way I responded to his "thats so cool" comment haha), I think it turned out just fine. It was a lovely evening and the clouds were all poofy and happy. Lots of people were there too, though I made sure to sit far away from all of them. Ahh, it was a beautiful day. I'm glad I live by the ocean :P * Just kidding, I recorded this in my studio; though I do live close to the water, this was not recorded there :P I did everything, down to the wind blowing into the mic, except for the sound of water and the kids in the background. I got those sounds here: freesfx.co.uk/login/
The guitars and vocals were one-takes to give a more realistic feel. No pitch-correction or autotune. Just wanted to try making another soundscape (or whatever you want to call this :P) about what it's like to live by the ocean.
Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

Description : Guys, I've Just looked at my old music archives and thought to bring some of them out for you guys to listen to.
I've made this track in loving memory of my dear brother who sadly died of cancer. He was my rock, my confidant I am already missing him.
I hope you enjoy it if you do then please leave me a comment.

Description : Glen Cloy is one of the glens of Antrim (Tumbleweed's county) in Northern Ireland. The little people, actualy fairies, populate all of them and they all have very old ghost stories that have been told for centuries (and still are)...This one is about Shaman of old and his journeys through the spiritual world...That sums up what Ed told me about the concept for our 7th (how convenient^^) collab work. The main core of the track is Ed's work and the original length was 5:18, but I wouldn't have been Orlando if I didn't tempt to compose my longest intro to date (3:10) to inject my own fantasies about little creatures of Glen Cloy (soft spot for spiritual world..hehe..). Other than that I also added some synths arrangements and vocal samples for the rest of the track and probably ruined it a bit..haha..but that's how collabs are sometimes..:)^^.....All my thanks to Ed...and Irish ghosts ofcourse...
Description : Guys, I've Just looked at my old music archives.
Ive stumbled upon this free Vst called Piano one.
I have never experienced sounds so true to a real piano, Ive paid a lot of money to a very well-known company for such vst which Ive never used because it did not sound like a piano.
The music of this track is replicated; However, the piano sounds are done with this vst.
I thought to share this little gem with you guys.

Feel like I've been transported somewhere after listening to that. My mind is peaceful and calm and present. Great track. Thanks for uploading :)
muchas gracias por compartir!
Nice track
Very Deep
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!
really superb. soothing music
Hey guys i love the tranquility such a nice track flows gently down the stream. Peace out regards Robbie.
Sounds great!
everything fits together very well. Nice work on the track!
Wow wow wow ... ambient bangers ...
I see peace and feel relaxation over this ... brilliant
Beautiful ! So full of peace, so relaxing...
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.
Cheers !
Leon, another winner. I love how your production brings a different value to Eds 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.
Steve
The tour starts when? You guys are on the same wavelength, that's for sure.
Beautiful, haunting, mesmerizing! What's not to like here?
Sorry I'm a few days late to the party and not commenting sooner, my loss really.
Cheers!
Wayne
You guys really know how to work together and create some fantastic stuff. This one is sugar to my ears. The sounds are so clear and vivid. If this track would be 1 hour I still be listening to it all as it doesnt get boring. Respect!
So soothing and relaxing, healing in fact! What a beautiful piece you have here, it truly is a work of art, please keep these coming, you can really loose yourself in this! Quality sir!
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...
Nice job guys. Sound really good.
absolutely beautiful. I found myself getting lost in the music. I'm not much on words so i'll just say you got a fav.
Nice effort.Thank you.
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?
Again...my thanks Leon...you complete the picture exquisitely with your talent and musical soul....Ed
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
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%/ bet 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
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!
Dem strings tho.
