Listen To Step By Step 1 - Snow In Athens Fusion Song By BaoBou At Looperman.com

21st Feb 2023 14:33 - 2 years ago
Description : Now on youtube: youtu.be/0RYfA4iCsSA, soon out on my upcoming album "Step by Step"!
==============
Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.

I'm in a gloomy mood, there can't be snow in Athens)

Well, by Russian standards this hardly counts as snow, but by Athens standards, this is quite a lot ;)

Kijk nou.
Ben ik even een paar dagen niet op LM geweest en heb ik bijna dit prachtige nummer gemist.
Ik vind het echt geweldig als je zingt en de muziek is zoals altijd weer perfect.
Dikke 200 views in een paar dagen..nou dat zegt ook wel genoeg he.

BaoBou. Superb! You've heard this from me before...... Donald Fagen. This mix is pristine, your guitar solo @2:15 is excellent. Keys, bass, and drums are polished to perfection. You've come in hot here. I thoroughly enjoyed this track. Peace

hey baou, you are a great observer of the human soul. i specially like the " you dont wanna let me see your face and you dont want to share". your direct approach on lyrics with an open interpretaions makes it unviversal and everyone can take something out of it. im glad for your output and make my own baou album on my laptop :). you give me such an energy, i wake up everyday with hold on, to remind myself to just hold on. its a hard time for everyone right now. you have this calm guitar lead thing going with explosions and it feels like something want to get out of you and you just grabbed it and put in his own special safe place back. your vox is amazing and your own and it calms me down and sometimes i get emotional when i listen to you. love and respect from a banana.

Dude, I'm floored by that. Thank you so much for that, that truly means a lot. That brought a little tear to my eye (more than one, to be honest).

Thank you so much. IF you like the looperman version, maybe you also want to check this one: https://youtu.be/ukBUDm18JAw

Wow. I need a walk, that was huge. I have to stop reading your comment or I'll really burst into tears. Thanks man (person (banana)).

Hiya, my friend in music. The composition is wonderful. You seem to have caught everything that needs improvement, so no sense in going over any of that. I will say that I love the "texture" of your voice. To my ear this is an obvious nod to Steely Dan, as someone else pointed out. I hear it in the music composition, and the way you deliver your vocals. I'm digging it!

LovePeace&Light,

Mykael

BaoBou replied 24th Feb 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks Mykael! We know each other's taste and that makes a comment like that extra wonderful.

I'm not sure I could actually do it, but I'd love to try to write something for you to record. Drop me a DM if you would consider that (and no worries if you have your own sources).

Sure, I can hear the Steely Dan influence, nicely done! Well written and composed, I didn't hear any earlier versions, been a little occupied lately elsewhere but this sounds fine. The singing, the harmonies are reminiscent of SD, nice job with that too. Two thumbs up!!

Hi Bao , good ideas in this track, to deepen! I think Manu is sincere and that she wanted to help you in your compositions, let's keep calm to share our passion for music!

Hey buddy of course Manuela is sincere, nobody is thinking otherwise! I live her very much and she is always incredibly helpful. I really really appreciate every comment she makes and I totally appreciate every critical comment. Those are the best comments, and I wish everyone would do that!

They don't even have to be nice, but Manu always manages to do it in a respectful way. She has years of experience and a wealth of knowledge and it's totally amazing and great she shares some of that here. Couldn't be better.

Also, don't hesitate to give me similar advice. I'm very sorry if I gave the impression I didn't like it - the opposite is true. 1 comment saying "ooh, this is a bit XYZ" is 100 times more helpful than 100 comments saying "yeah great" (although of course I also like those ;) )

Again, I love what Manu said, but I felt I knew her well enough to also make a little joke :) my apologies if that wasn't clear to you :)

All good my man! Thanks for listening and commenting, even commenting that the reply wasn't clear is a useful comment, so thanks for that!

Well this is a lovely track, and Im very chuffed that my own recent effort helped to you to find it - it's a better track than mine in my view, has a lot more heart and sounds a lot more real. Nice structure, lyric, arrangement and playing (Im sure too you can polish it more if you want)
: )
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 22nd Feb 2023 - 2 years ago
Your production values are so much better, and I have to say I enjoyed the structure of your song just fine. I gave it another listen and it's a really excellent track!
Maybe we need to set up an exchange - you produce my track and I do the minimum of (re)arrangements on yours :)

Thanks for listening my friend!

Last night i was at my friends that are preparing songs for their metal album, enjoyed at them playing and got wasted.
I was inspired by their music and when i came home i made this.

Description : This track is built around the repetitive lead guitar line which I have previously incorporated as an intro for the rocker track "Sweetheart Runner" by LM user TinyFinger whom I have helped in arranging, mixing and producing his song. This extended session was a good oportunity to test some new equipment....Thanks to Tiny for not being mad about it...:)^^

Description : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.

After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …

Description : Now also on Apple music!! Please please check the link in my profile and give it a play! (Spotify to follow soon). And if you do that, let me know if I can repay the favour!
================

The song feels to me a bit like it could be on stage in a musical. It's a bit theatrical... I like it, but the next one might well be a rock song ;)

All instruments & vocals recorded live at home, without samples.
