Description : A co-worker heard me playing a draft of this track. He said it would be considered "Dirty South Metal" where he comes from in Scotland. He plays lead Guitar in a "Heavy Metal" band here. He also said I was; "a in the closet Metalhead". I assumed that was a compliment so I said thank you(I think, LOL). I'm not 100% sure of the genre. In my opinion its Psychedelic for sure but, I figured "Metalish" is close enough.
PEACE...
Description : Latest Spivkurl track here, containing many different recent themes. A little bit of psychedelic organostep, maybe? Has the first released recordings from my latest instrument Bias Machine, which is a manual magnetic tape based performance sampler. Also some data bending, Suzuki Omnichord, Korg Montribe, and Yamaha YS-200 in here. Even my cat had her influence... Please enjoy the listen and download!
Description : OK, I finally managed to find a song name, so here it is. But the genre is still open. WTF is it? World? Trip? Trance? Rock? psychedelic? .
I started this song with the wahwah background track, I think I wanted to go in the triphop direction but when I played with it and tried out things I added some Tabla sounds from the available sound library of the cubase software to it, just to get a feel for it. It sounded right somehow, and so it developed from there. As before, we did the work on wikiloops band section: bhunt1 (Brian) on Bass added his track, and rp3drums (Raymond) on drums (one straight drum track, and one para-diddle track). I then added several more guitar tracks.
So I would be happy to listen to your comments and advice, and if I get a good suggestion for name and genre I will change it. Cheers, TG :D
Description : I may have mentioned to a few people that I had recorded an EP to cassette tape in November. The thirty minute, seven track tape was recorded on 14th and 15th November (during that excellent full moon). My process, this time, involved choosing a group of instruments from my main studio, and then interfacing them in a way that allowed me to perform a spontaneous track live. There was no planning, and each track was only given attention until the previous was lain on tape. All in all, it was a very rewarding experience to create "on a whim" like this. No DAW was used to create the sounds, or to perform/arrange them. All instruments were mixed in real time, and the output was forever dedicated to the magnetic medium. All of these songs were instrumental, and not traditional in their performance. This is a digital capture of two songs from the EP - "Agonist Moon" and "Faultline" - They are the last track of Side A and the first track of Side B. If you are not familiar with those terms... they indicate the direct physical and psychological experience of interacting with recorded media in order to play it in it's entirety. "Agonist Moon" was described by my wife as an "Icaro," which is a tribal shamans healing song in certain cultures. "Faultline" is more of a peak minimal technological shift into the rest of the EP. UPDATE - The entire Agonist Moon EP digital re-master is now available here... https://spivkurl.bandcamp.com/album/agonist-moon-ep
Description : My actual track for X-mas. Too late again, as usual... But now just with a few days only instead months. :D It's enough stodgy, need some mood for enjoy, that's sure. Dunno where to put it. Fusion? Cinematic? Weird? Trash? :)

Description : UPDATE 3/31/2016 - Did some work on the mix and master thanks to the advice of Crucethus and promenade2239. I knew something needed work, and it turned out I need some shifting in the time-space continuum. Thanks to everyone who commented so far!
Original DESC - Yes, I admit it... I fall down. Different circumstances and results each time, but it does happen. Got some inspiration in the last week or two, and left behind some other responsibilities for a while to make this track. Did a considerable amount of multisampling of a Realistic C1000 to add to the song. This is the first song I've finished which uses my modified Korg Monotribe. Also contains Microkorg (on glitch percussion and vocoder use), Yamaha ys-200, Zoom RT-123, and my modular synth doing circuit bent voice synth duties. Psychedelic, dark cold wave. EDIT: Now that I think about it, there were no virtual synths involved in this composition, but only virtual samplers and effects. Everything else was MIDI and hardware sound source. Thank you for listening! Please leave a comment and I will return the favor!
Description : Break up song of sorts lol. Vox, guitars and keys by Zootman. Beats and bass free Loopmasters demo. Words are (mostly) what I thought Damo Suzuki was singing on One More Night by Can. Instrumental or stems avail if anyone wants to play with it.
Description : I walked for miles, and what seemed like millennia in order to find the inspiration for this song, and subsequently the album which it helped finalize. It is an essential title track for me, even if it is encoded.
Here is the artwork in question.
A twenty-two month experiment,
Combining infinite expansion with absorpsion and inhibition.
A two thousand mile walk to the place I call home.
A home to be myself and room to roam.
A bone, and a stone, all alone and unknown,
But aglow, and beloved,
Here the sun and snow shown.
The album is available here, for the time being....
Description : I tried to make a 'doom cello' track but failed as the chillout vibes really took over but there is still some heaviness as well as a few minutes of dance music in the final sections. It's very moody and atmospheric and dominated by strings and drums. 120BPM but most of it is half that tempo. Lots of my electric cello playing though there are also sample-based string parts, especially the foreboding, drone bass - the only bass instrument in the track. Other pad sounds add some mystical, spacey beauty while an arpeggiated VST guitar instrument adds a progressive band feel in the first half. Drums are two programmed kits and mostly one hard rock/metal kit. Also one drum loop plus two music loops towards the end. I very rarely use music loops but they seem to work here. Let me know what you think of this progressive epic. Sorry it's so long but hopefully it justifies its length. It's definitely far out and difficult to place in any particular, obvious genre.
Description : One of several live in studio tracks which I recorded in recent weeks. This one incorporated my DIY modular synth and a modified Yamaha DD-20 as the only instruments. The DD-20 was, in part, triggered at audio rates, enabled by the the input modifications. Not quite the usual spivkurl track which you may be accustomed to. I'm putting this in psychedelic, though it could easily fit into ambient, glitch or cinematic genres.
Description : Descent into the archaic and cursed meanders of Nameless City. Inspired by the homonymous story by HPL. Comment freely, friends.
Description : The results of six hours in a psychotropic environment which was novel to my experience. Only fixed some minor mistakes and mastered the song after I left the environment (or after it left me). It tugs at passion as a dog biting a dress. Resentment and discontent are its language. Slice of life tragic comedy, with a psychedelic edge.
Description : Far out, cello-based, deep grooving, progressive, powerful and sometimes aggressive sci fi epic with lots of electronic elements and some dubstep craziness towards the end. Electric cello, slow attack guitar, resonator guitar, a little bit of bass guitar, 5 synths, lots of effects and drum loops and a few programmed drum kits. It all began with the first couple of cello riffs (one pizzicato bassline, one bowed main riff) and the hip hop beats and then grew and grew as I added more synths and drums and worked in some old, leftover guitar parts. It's very detailed and complex and the mix and sculpting of the sounds are as important as the composition. Have a good listen then come back and let me know what you thought of this twisting, turning journey into outer space. Feel free to criticise and/or tell me your favourite parts...
Description : Far out epic featuring sine waves, programmed violin parts, played electric cello, various synths, drum loops and programmed acoustic drums. Mystical and a bit Eastern. A three min drumless intro and then some fat grooves and darker sounds. Not as good as I was hoping it would be. Interesting comments appreciated...

Saw this track on looperman and I had to make something.Please feel free to let me know what you think.
Open to suggestions. Thanks all :) I hope you enjoy!
this is freaked out, you know! i love what you said bout developing yr own syn-gtr, you can do it buddy!
I need to replay for that video thing.
For now i just use a youtube video maker what is simple ..not special.
In the past i didd nice things with videos but that was on android.
I need to find myself a windows freeware video editor with blending video's and many other options.
If i find it and know how it works i let you know.
Holy sh*t, I've never heard anything quite like this! To my ear it sounds like a cross between Depeche Mode, Deep Purple and Dream Theater. But everyone seems to have different ideas about that, which is a tribute to your originality.
I've got a couple of questions I might send you a PM about if that's cool. But awesome stuff man!
The man who does the well and pretty much the only with the psychedelics! The base is what I'm talkin about I'm having a brain fart but this totally sounds like something that I've heard before Has a Little Rock vibe from the 80s 2 then with that scratching in the 90s vibe that's right my boy
Jynxz go's heavy metal lol.
But this is a perfect set up with eachother....dont know well how to explain it in English.
Everything fits with eachother and i love the mix of the heavy metal sound and the peacefull sound at 0:53 when the woman vox starts.
Just....dont stop the music mister!!
So Imagine someone melded the Beatles Come together, and Hendrix's Purple haze. Oh, wait I don't have to anymore. Awesome Distorted Key solo. reminds me of a Jordan Rudess style of soloing. Definitely psychedelic, with sprinklings of Zappa and believe it or not Blue Cheer. very cool mate!
great track bro...hats off...allways lovin your key solos
Shit hot. Is that lead seriously a synth?! Freaking cool. I could dance crazy to this.
Hey Robbie.
Mate, you are a dark horse, you keep away for a time and then BAM you'll hit us with a gem like this.
Wow, mate it is a great track even though the guitarist is Scott.
Wonderful track my friend.
Wellllllleeee DDDDoooonnne.
Maj
In addition to the fact that the music is excellent, I had a bit of a surreal feeling due to the many effects: Frank Zappa would have played such metal ... :-)
BRILLIANT, BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!
Fistbump, Danke
You need to watch the VH1 documentary series "Metal Evolution." Make sure to watch the "lost episode."
I love that distorted mono synth solo, pretty much every time you do it.
Metalish is a good title, psychedelic is probably a good categorization. I listen to plenty of heavy music that is not metal. Heavy metal makes me think NWOBHM or 80s spandex (thanks to my country of origin), which this is neither.
Regardless... faved. TTYL.
Excellent track, psychedelic seems like what I would call it. Definitely something to head bang too. The vox are a great touch, its like three songs in one.
This works for me, hard rock with some elements of electronic music in a loose arrangement of neat hooks and changes with some vox samples to add interest. There are some moments in there that just are smoking hot, well done! Great idea!

Impresionante pista amigo Robbie, me encanta esas guitarras que desprenden fuego y esas lneas de sinte son matadoras, te enganchan desde el principio. Enorme pista, las voces son perfectas. Gran mezcla, de lujo. Que tengas un buen dia hermano. Paz y salud.
Killer riff that is metalish for sure but hell yeah a lot going on - the synths and the guitar are the standouts for me, they just lift off!
Great track fantastic sound mix scratching sexy hot vox kick arse beat fire synth and the whispers, well done mate super fresh and great outro
There's certainty a lot going on here. Love the guitars. Great job man.
Rob, yeah those blasted drums tho! Nice come together right now over me melody at about the first verse.Now those synths tho! Yep you did this thing right .
M.T.
