Hey Zootman, I might've commented before but regardless this is a nice song. I seen you had a Collab request so I added two verses on top of the mp3 file, might be off beat a little but this was fun to write to and make. I posted it on my new soundcloud account. https://on.soundcloud.com/Tt1c1

Thanks so much man, would love to listen but can't right now, I'm about as far away from anything as it's possible to be (sub Antarctic) on a boat with very limited internet. So it's gonna have to wait for a few weeks. I'll be looking forward to it.

Thank you very much, I like it when an angel graces my track with a listen and comment. I loved your last one too, the phrasing and fluidity of your vox was outstanding.

The genre is Tom Waits. Awesome track.

Lovely moody intro, great follow-up, good use of your vocal, although it drowns a bit in the mix for me (but that might be my crappy headphones).
Well done and a major step forward in my mind!!

Nice, I like the idea and your choice of sounds, especially the instrumental part starting at around 1:44 is really good!

Zootman replied 15th Nov 2022 - 2 years ago
The bass and most of the rhythms came straight out of the free Podolski synth which seems to have quite an 'organic' sound in my opinion. Most of the minor synth accents came from TAL noisemaker and Surge. Thanks for listening, much appreciated.

Good sound fx
Your voice has a lot of sex appeal on this. This Rocks! Got a little bit of Morrisey style. All the way talented man!

A very interesting "watery" experience, Footman. I really like the voice and how it lays low. It is like I have heard before but not this way. There is something both familiar and strange about it. Nice moody tune. A seductive story telling mode.

Kind Regards

Zootman replied 7th Nov 2022 - 2 years ago
Thank you Danke, you know I was happy with this but then so few people were downloading it I started to think it was no good or just too weird or intense. But you liking it enough to want to listen again restores my confidence in myself. I feel like there might be another version of it wanting to come out but we'll see. Muchos gracias.

Love it - sounds really good now too

For sure a dub version of big nod to Dylan and Cohen but nothing bad about that
Zootman
Zootman replied 30th Oct 2022 - 2 years ago
Indeed. As lyrical references I should probably add talking heads the great curve and Tom waits the earth died screaming.

Killick 28th Oct 2022 04:57 - 2 years ago
I thought these lyrics sounded vaguely familiar, then I read the Dylan attribution and it all made sense. But this was a really, really cool way to re-contextualize lyrics from a bygone age. With the guitar at 1:18 and 3:38 still paying tribute to their origins. Not to mention your delivery which had a similarly old-school power to it. As usual your synth and electronic effects were on-point and mixed beautifully. So this song gave me a real sense of the old and the new. Hope this doesn't all sound too w*nky or abstract lol.

Great stuff man.

Zootman replied 28th Oct 2022 - 2 years ago
Hi Cam, nah I'm very happy it prompted you to think about such things, and that you took the time and effort to communicate it. You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I wrote most of the lyrics for the verses, then I figured Dylan's lyrics kind of fit the context and meaning of my own. I've always loved the words of that Dylan song, and play/sing it on the acoustic guitar. I guess you try to find meaning in Dylan's lyrics at your own peril, but to me, that song is all about the pagan Goddess or Earth Mother. So I ended up re-contexturalising Dylans words as you artfully say. Cheers, Chris

Cheers man, I was probably most happy with the lyrics above anything else to be honest. Though as well as stealing some of Mr Zimmerman's, there's definitely a nod to Leonard Cohen in there too (with the downing men line) and of course Soundgarden and Black Hole Sun! What can I say, I'm a magpie.

Ahh, Classic dub effects with a really cool synth sensibility. You do know Sly and Robbie are huge influences for me. 3:31 is a nice fin! and then it ends so sweetly, great job mate!

Hey Maj, thanks a lot. Had a heap of trouble with mixing and mastering this. I really need to learn to up my game but when it comes down to it I like the creating more than the producing. And time is always short :( Slightly confused though, just how many accounts do you have now?!

Hello and good morning, really a great song! It's really fun to listen to. Voice and music go together beautifully. Bass and drums harmonize. Great composition. The only small drawback that I think I hear are small hissing sounds when singing. Or is it my headphones? Despite it. Well done! Greetings Manuela
Zootman
Zootman replied 26th Oct 2022 - 2 years ago
Good evening Manu, thanks for listening. I was reasonably happy with the composition myself and
had been thinking of maybe redoing it as an acoustic thing. And it's not your head phones, there is an effect on the vox on the verses, a blue cat audio flange or chorus, can't remember which. Cheers!

Hey Chris! Wayne is not wrong, maybe lower the guitar volume a little "hair" on the 2 parts so that we can hear your voice better, in any case great composition my friend!

Hi Michael, thanks for that. I will try to get around to that tomorrow morning! Mixing this seemed to be particularly problematic for some reason. Thanks, Chris.

I liked the track but honestly I felt the guitars at 1:10(and later on) were a bit loud in the mix, they overpower the vocals. I think the idea is great. The dynamics are real good and when the guitars hit they are impactful. Reminds me of Get Down Moses by Strummer and the Mescaleros.

Hey Wayne, thanks man, have reduced those guitars a bit. Far out just listened to the Strummer track you reference, what a great song. Loved the lyrics especially. Cheers Chris

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 : 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 : Full Moon energy blasted through me big time. This track encompasses all those emotions about feeling lunarly de-railed. The lyric 'can't do it, won't do it' reflects the desire to step away from the norm, due to overwhelm.
The scream speaks for itself!

Description : Psychedelic, Eastern, dark dance/jazz/fusion based around my cello playing plus minimal other instrumentation. Two sections of electric guitar, one of Fender Rhodes, one synth pad, some swirling female vocal samples and one sub synth bass. Apart from multiple drum loops and programmed acoustic drumkits, everything else is cello, including most of the weird sounds.
