Description : Ambient, psychedelic chill out rock or something or rather. Lyrics, vocals, guitars and keyboards myself. One drum loop used (free Loopmasters ambient pack). If you want a bit of a back story on the words check the lyric page.
Description : Headphones are recommended for a more immersive experience :P - - - A weary American soldier is walking through the remains of what used to be a small town in the middle east, only to rediscover the horrible reality that sometimes war can affect even the ones who have no part in it.

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 : 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 : 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

The story of the track is off for a minute.

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...
Nah the imperfect arrangement of the vocals give it a Personal almost lounge-like quality to it. Dont sell yourself short my friend.
Atmospheric, this track feels lived in
Love the wah guitar. adds a nice atmosphere. smooth dark and slinky would be how I would describe this one. The piano is sublime. As if Bryan ferry merged with the Stone Roses and the Stereo MCs. good tune mate. Very atomspheric. Perfect fill at 2:56. The instrumental mixing is sublime. gets a fav ;-) The reverse guitar work reminds me of Manzanilla's work on Manifesto. great job I really enjoyed that listen.
Ahh the lyrics of soft ice being burnt to dust by the ultraviolet rays.. Ghostly dead radiates the midnight sky and welcomes the hungry with a plate of evidence... Keep writing brother this shit is rambo-tacious! Also I love the blues that appear in the track on semi-bars it really picks everything up. The drums were splendid too as they really create a reality of its own. Way to go mate!
Very nice complementary work: upbeat while addressing such a sad history. Loving the reference to the old burial tradition. This one's a keeper.
Michael Jackson's bassist ate a mushroom. Reminds me of Hawkwind or Throbbing Gristle. Nice ambient transition and turnaround, with the reverse guitar.
This one gets a fav.
really nice warm vibe you got their. its a hypnotic beat setup with different instruments. Really impressed by the slide guitar, this one got me deep in my brain. I feel like im melting down. The Voice is perfect for this LSD-DESERT Trip with Zootman. I downloaded this and really enjoyed on my Pa-System with big woof- woof. I really dig your work and the lyrics are very well written and i like your more minimalistic approach of using words. Nice effects on Vocals. The duality in distance is a welceome for ears and supports your Voice. There is some kind of 80s Rock singing..but i cant decide right now. Have to take more hits and enjoy the Song. love from germany
Really nicely composed and produced !
Compliments____Leon
This is really nice, it actually has such a hypnotic vibe which is just delectable to listen to. BTW, if no ones ever told you, your voice sounds similar to the late lead singer of INXS, your vocal tone has similarities. TOP! WORK! Like this a lot! Bravo!! Chris.
Angelus
The music reminds me of "Smiling Faces Sometimes" by the Undisputed Truth, 70's rnb song.

Vocals remind me of how the Stone Roses mixed their singer, big reverb.

With 2 awesome references, how could this not be cool?
Wayne
Nice!
Chris!
This was special. Ive heard the last one from Wayne, a unusual one from him and Im astonished about you both so far. Ok that you are able to do something like this is not unusual but so much creative. The sound, great. The voice, really great. The instruments, great. I love it. Well done my friend. Its a very contemporary musical piece of art! Well done. It took me away from the first second and I felt like been shaking around until I feel dizzy. Great.
Greetings
Matthias
There was an immersion in the atmosphere of the track, that's what the verses are there)

Dope intro nice drum works. I like the variety on here. We are all good under our comfort zones Great vocals. Depeche mode vibe
hey Chris, holy shite man, you continue to make the coolest neo-beat music that ever came from a lost continent. this is drenched in history and magic and the loss of utopia. brilliant, utterly. the guitar builds to sublimity and those keys are coral.
I've been to another dimension)
Nice track you got here. I love the chill vibe to this one. It sounds like something I would listen to just to free my mind. The vocals are great and were unexpected.
Wow, Chris Excellent mate.
I'm a keyboard man myself but yours is out of this world man.
Great work my friend
Really well done.
Maj
Excellent work Chris, really is atmospheric, the transitions are great, guitar and keys sublime and your vox are stinking hot mate fantastic all round
Hi zootman2u, a groovy chilled ambient psychedelic rock...something ;) good.
Good work with your vocal in it...sounds good.
Nice beat also.
Impresionante tema amigo mo. Me encanta ese ambiente psicodlico con un enorme bajo y un ritmo muy acorde con la esencia de la pista. La voz perfecta muy integrada en el contexto. Las guitarras muy atmosfricas. Una gran cancin. Que tengas un buen da compaero. Salud y paz.
Nice work mate - moody and atmospheric with a great lyric and good vocal performance - this one had me thinking of ed keupper again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNGFlke_BcM)
