Bruises - Toastedavalanche

Description : It's been a while since I've uploaded anything new. Lack of inspiration and a broken audio interface kinda ruined my creative streak.
Anyway, I managed to steal a bit of time at my friends studio. This is what I made in a few hours.

Wow! What eye opening lyrics! Makes you think, through all people go through, the things that go through the mind. And your voice, makes the message shine through loud and clear!

Hey, this is fabulous!

You, of course, have a style which is all your own. At the same time, I can't help but dream up parallels with Matt Johnson/The The, even if such parallels are only in my head. It feels right to me, and is meant as a very high compliment. I might not be alive if it weren't for The The.

To create something like this in such a short moment in time is very impressive. It does not feel hurried to me in the performance either, so you should be proud.

Potent, thoughtful and engaging... loved it all the way through! Fave!

What a beautiful track. Very easy to listen to, but also interesting. This track shows your talent and what you can make in just a few hours! I hope you find a way to fix your audio interface or another way to let the creativity flow, just don't give it up. That would be a waste.

hi T.A,

For my part I see a touch of gorillaz / radiohead in your voice (around the resonance) but you have your own signature: a grain and a tone voice which are really nice! At any rate it's a beautiful ballad which you propose us here!
One more time, i was expected for a longer track. The duration is too short, i'm quite sure you can make an extended version.

really good work

There is a Leonard Cohen quality about this one. In a good good way. Keep on it. Musically I want to hear a chorus sung an octave higher in it maybe with a quick explosion of emotion and back down to that draweld almost spoke-sung sound that reminds me of Mr Cohen.

Always good stuff from you. I dig the feel your music has and the thought you put into lyrics. Not many people making this kind of eclectic music. You have an edge there. It's a demo so I won't go into technical advice. I'll just say I dig it and dig what you do.

Take care.

Haha, I wish I knew music theory to learn how to do some of this stuff you had done in this track. I'm taking theory 1 this year in highschool, and I had taken a test to see what I know so far. The teacher looked at the front page of my packet and had said, "well, now I know you play compose completely by ear". Hopefully by the end of this year I can at last do a fraction of some of the harmonies you had implemented here! Great work.

Hi. I'm glad you like the track. I just learnt to play chords on the piano and guitar, then messed about with them until I understood them better.
You've been given a massive head start by being able to compose by ear. And you will be able to make vastly more complex compositions if you understand the theory as well.

Good luck in your future studies. I look forward to hearing what you create.

Thanks,
TA

Really smooth. Overall a great song to listen to, however its kinda hard to understand what you're saying.

I'm glad you enjoy the sound. Your criticism is fair. I had little time to record vocals and phrases like "Savour lacerations" and "hinders aspirations" aren't easy to enunciate when you're in a rush. I do intend to re-record the vocals when I have studio time/new audio interface, so I will keep this in mind on my next take.

Thanks for listening and your feedback.
TA

I'm very lucky to be able to work with such talented people, and whenever I need them, they always answer the call. Rita, you deserve so much more. Thank you for being such a solid collaborator over the years. And Ci, thank you for being the spark that lit us on fire.

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 !
