Description : Been out with a bad back the past few weeks so I didn't play any guitars on this one. It's all loops from Ableton, Adobe, EZ Drummer and packs I've accumulated over the years. Weird/industrial/post apocalyptic theme. Vocals have some level or none of the following: guitar amp, overdrive, vocoder and other effects.

Shockingly kool Wayne. You definitely got the vocals for this one. Your song is like something from a movie or tv show tune. You did not hold back in the least bit. This is not weird, because it has a purpose. It is a fun-ny song. Well done.

Thanks man!

Tried to make the music sound like it wasn't in any particular key, monotone/bland bass sounds and abstract industrial noises. My mom said it sounded like it should be on tv as well so cinematic in some way.

Nice one, Wayne! It's been a while since I heard a song from you. The intro was very fascinating. I loved the experimentation with loops in this track. I don't know why but I got super Halloween vibes from this one, almost a nightmare before Christmas sort of thing. That works perfectly since Halloween is right around the corner. Your voice never disappoints and I was happy to hear it once again. As usual, great track. Adding to my favs.

A Nightmare Before Xmas, I liked that movie a lot, cool reference!

I usually don't use loops, as a practice, as the main foundation of my tracks so when I do it's a lot of fun experimenting with sounds and effects I normally don't use.

Thanks!

But where they gonna run to?! One out of the box from you Wayne, I thoroughly enjoyed this. Drums were great and the little breakdowns were cool to spice things up. That telephone sound reminded me of one I used a while back in my reggae tune. It sets the ambience really well. All over noone home. Felt like this could almost have had some down and dirty electric guitar hitting those down beats maybe.

I'm gonna use poetic license to answer your question. They just ran away. ;)

Jeff Lynne used a ringing telephone loop in Telephone Line and I remember hearing it in another song(Beatle's song maybe).

Just playing with loops and effects. I thought of elec git but was still sore in the back, just started sitting up in front of a computer actually when I did this.

Thanks!

Pretty atmospheric track. A real spectrum behind the vocals opening the mind to all the sounds happening in the background and the reasoning for them. Great track full of innovation and risk. Score !

Thanks Bill!

Just playing with some sounds and effects that don't get much attention from me. Some great stuff in these daws if you spend some time listening and trying to process/manipulate them to get a desired effect. Sure different than plugging in a git and ripping out a track in a minute or two.

Hi TheHumps, this is nice, really smooth; really great use of the drum loops, really good selection and variety. It actually didn't feel at all weird (genre). It's smooth, I thought of triphop as I was listening. The only element that didn't really fit (to me) was the vocals; I felt like the drums were driving the vocals rather than helping it, and vice versa. It doesn't feel it has a theme. Thanks for sharing. Hope your back isn't something too serious and you're better.

Thanks! Life long back prob that flairs up occasionally, I'll live. :)

I guess without the vocals there isn't much of a story. The effects on them were there to help set the atmosphere and overall feel of the track. Appreciate the feedback!

That wasnt what I was expecting from what Ive heard from you before but it's wonderful and I do recognise some of what I have already loved in your work. This is a little more alt. but still very rich, creative, engaging, and rich in rhythm and melody. Great stuff : )

He quedado impresionado amigo Wayne por las sensaciones tan devastadoras conseguidas con tu pista, una obra de arte que consigue hacer que vivas ese apocalipsis en tu piel, tengo la mejor película en mi cabeza, has conseguido que visualice cada detalle con claridad cinematográfica. Gracias por la descarga y las letras de la canción. Google me la traduce al español lo que me permite vivirlo más intensamente. Buen día compañero. salud y paz.

I listened to this & felt compelled to comment, this is outstanding! work! The track absolutely opens up the imagination & gives it wings fly & also to feel the vibes running through the track of what it would be like. Not to mention the amazing lyrics that gives flesh to it all. The picture is clear & and this is seriously deep. TOP! Work

Thanks for the kind words! Just messing around with some loops and trying to get some sort of sound and imagery with the help of a few lyrics.

Description : A song I wrote over a guitar track that I found on YouTube. Link to the original track can be found below.

Have been attempting to write 2-3 songs over the past couple of months with little success, when this one just appeared out of nowhere.

It's a bit odd I guess (which is why I tagged it as weird) but I enjoyed creating and listening back to it, so here it is.

Thank you!

Description : Many of strangeness here ....
A link between two musical worlds quite different but united in this message of harmony.
"Silverpaw" (former Looperman) had in the depths of one of its hard drives, this arrangement that I made the past year: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/120846
He decided to bring this theme, with a text and this voice ....
Very surreal but I really enjoyed ....

I hope it will be the same for you.

Thank you for listening.

Description : I am quite open to all kind of music out there. This time I had some Church organ pipes lying around. With the help of 2nick8 and IMHO one of his best songs out there I put him into a big room and let the organs speak. Yes, maybe weird, maybe different, maybe 2nick8 will throw some egg against me ... I did it. What do you all think of it? (I changed the Genre to "Weird" in the meantime but "Experimental" would do also.

Well, about lyrics, I explain the story on description of the instrumental version.

Description : I wanted to do something different, TheFrenz sent me the stems to his excellent track 'Transformer' - And only one of the several versions of the track, using many of the same elements each time.
So I threw my hat in the ring with a version of my own, taking the elements of Transformer and doing some transforming. It only makes the song title that much more awesome. Music can certainly be transformed, taken to its next form...and the music can also be what transforms US. Pretty deep, man.
