A Dark Dreamy Day - Joecramer

Thanks a lot Kyle,
for your friendly words about this little tune.Good to know that you liked it.
And also thanks for the "ideas" to fill it a bit up. I will do a test to hear how it works (for me)

stay tuned

Hello InitiumMusic
Every time someone writes to me that he listen to my songs more often, I'm extremely happy. Most of the time you have to be happy when things are at least listened to completely....
Many thanks for your encouraging words. I am pleased that you like my work so much

stay tuned

Thank you very much for this great compliment.
But actually I can't adopt it at all. I actually lived in Berlin for 2 years and at that time even made electronic music with some "real" Berlin guys, but we really had absolutely nothing to do with any "wiered" old "bores" :)
Back then we were about 19-20 years young and that's now 35 years ago. Musically we moved more in the direction of electronic post-punk, EBM, techno and wave and were miles away from established stuff) wonderful times :)
And now I've been living in Hamburg for almost 25 years. But I don't have any "connections" with the Hamburg school either....
I take it all on myself.
I learned a bit of the recorder at school, with a bit of sheet music and so on, then had a few guitar lessons and briefly tried to learn the clarinet and accordion. But I mostly failed on both :)
So actually no serious musical training or any theoretical plan.
I do it all (creating, composing, playing, importing, writing, singing, mixing and doing, completely on my own and only according to "my feeling"
If there is one school that I follow or that I expand, it is that of my life :) the - Joe Cramer school of one's own path -
Thanks again for your kind and appreciative words.
I was really happy about it, precisely because it was penned by someone who has a much more "serious" idea about music than I do.

stay tuned Micky

Thanks for the recent comment.
Also for listening again, of course.
Personally, I always find it very nice when someone takes the time to listen to a song of mine more than once. Because for that, the person has to like it.
But as much as I like that, you should still listen to one or the other piece of mine.
I'm in the process of redesigning my home page. At the moment you can access everything that I have uploaded to youtube (that's a lot of songs). The rest (and that's not a little either) is still flying around at ReverbNation and of course there are also a few songs here at looperman. As soon as I'm done with my site, you can listen to everything there and mostly also download it .... joe-cramer.de

Hello Eric.
Nice to hear that you liked it and that you rate it as unique. Every artist likes to hear that. Many thanks for that and for the time and everything.
Whether it's actually cinematic or chill or something else, who knows? Usually I just take electro and I'm out of the loop. But then there is usually whining right away :)

When I made this song, I went through a period of emotions like I've never had in my life. And there was a bit of everything. Mountains and valleys full of emotions, so to speak. So it doesn't surprise me that this song just drips with it. And since everyone feels differently, there should be something for everyone.

I will definitely keep making music. I can't help it :)
And surely she will help me, because it has always been like this. But unfortunately music will not heal me. But that's perfectly fine.

So you won't have to wait too long to hear something new.

True words Rita
But at the end of the day, I'm also a father and husband and of course I don't want to put anyone down on my loved ones.
At the moment everything is going well and the results are very positive as far as it goes.

What really annoys me is that I had just started tearing my studio apart to build a nice new one. And now I'm so exhausted and battered that it will take months :) But at least I always have something to do and can distract myself

It is important that YOU stay healthy Rita.
In this sense

Hello Wayne
I hardly like to say it, but getting well will always remain just a dream. But there is legitimate hope that I can still play for time for some time.

Right now it is of course all the nicer to receive positive encouragement for what is important to you. And music is and will always be a really important part of me. I don't intend to stop just because I've fallen into a deep dark hole for an extended period of time.

Since this song was something like a liberation, some new songs should see the light of the looperverse soon. Some just waiting for their completion.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kind words you wrote and the time you took. It really mean a lot to me

stay tuned

Hello LankFrampard
Thank you very much for your attention, your time and your comment. (Good to know that you have complied with all safety-related things :) )

As for your question, to be honest I can't really answer that for you. It went like it always did for me.
Fiddle around a bit with sounds.
Experiment and tinker and tinker.
Discarding and replacing things and suddenly realizing that you are actually somehow on a path.
Then change and adapt everything again in such a way that this path develops into a path towards a goal.
And done :)
In the end I had the beat ready and the guitar provided the chords.
Then I created 3-4 little melodies.
I doubled it and gave it different sounds and stuff like that.
Well, and then the individual tracks are distributed and adjusted and processed with FX and stuff.
Just like you do it. It doesn't matter what direction or genre you're heading into. ......

For me it was just that I found myself at the absolute low point of my life.
And the sounds and everything calmed me down and took some of my sadness away.
So much so that afterwards I got the feeling that everything is exactly as it should be (in the song).
I had and have the feeling that it is a "beautiful" song and that I should others give the oportunity to feel the same.
So I came back here after a long time and uploaded it.

It probably all makes very little sense, at least in relation to your question. But I can't explain it any better.

Hello Rita
A little bit of fun is always good.
So I tried to write something funny in the description. Mainly because my personal condition is anything but funny ......

The creation of the many sounds was of course very time-consuming. At least for me :) It felt like it took forever until I was reasonably happy with it. So it's really nice to hear that you liked the result so much.

Just this sound like a woman's voice fascinated me too. Unfortunately, the synth I used for this is only available for "Magix Music Maker". But maybe you have this DAW :) then you will find it there in "Analog Synths 2" in "Voices" - "Real Voice"

We are all learning our whole lives and trying to get better. And of course I'm pleased that I seem to have gotten a little better at mastering over the years.

It's really nice to read that I didn't bore you.
So, heartfelt thanks to you for taking the time to listen to the song and then writing such a nice comment.

stay tuned

Thank you very much Zootman,
for your really very friendly comment.
I am very happy that you like this song so much. It's nice to hear that you listened to it again.
For that alone, the effort I put into it was really worth it.

Thank you again for the time you gave up :)

stay tuned

I watched your video with my wife. and we were both amazed at how well the little angels fit the music.
It's really gratifying for me to see what music I write can trigger.
It was the first time for me that someone took the trouble to create a video for my music without being asked and it made me feel really good.

Thank you very much for this and for all the time you have invested in listening, commenting and creating and uploading....
May god always keep a kind eye on you.

stay tuned
joe

P.S.: I am really extremely touched

Thankyou very much Shaman77

Always good to know that there are some people around this world who like what i have done

joe

Thank you very much for your wonderful comment.
It fills me with joy to hear how much you liked this song. I didn't consciously try to create exactly this feeling, but I had exactly this feeling when I was composing and experimenting. The sounds just found each other.

Your kind words made me feel very comfortable which I really needed at the moment. Thanks again for that

stay tuned
joe

Thankyou very much Dimestop,
for this really nice and friendly comment.

I didn't expect that so many people would react so positively to this song.And, especially in my condition, it's almost like medicine.

As I have already written, I really put a lot of effort into this and tried for a long time to create something, (well lets say), good. And I was very happy that after such a long time I was actually able to finish it.

That's why I would like to thank you and everyone else again for giving me so much (life)energy, just by listening and writing a comment.

I wish you and all the others really all the best.

stay tuned

Thanks a lot Michael for listening and writing some friendly words about this Song. It's always good to know that there are some people in the world who like what i do.

Hello
Thank you very much for your well-chosen words.
The sound of the synth somehow had a touch of the past for me. And that could very well be because the sound sounds or feels like an old theremin.
It's nice to know that there are people out there who find what I'm doing audible and in some way enjoyable.

So thank you again for the time you invested in listening and writing.

stay tuned
joe

Thanks a lot for your warm words T576
I hope you had a nice musically journey.
I'll give my best to stay a little longer on earth and make some interesting music.

stay tuned

Good to know that you like what i have done.
I asked my wife what kind of pictures she had in mind or think this music needed and she said - Planets, Nebulas, Aliens.

Thanks for the listen and the comment

stay tuned
joe

Almost on the way.
I have one or maybe two songs i really wanna finish. Therefor i "only" have to produce the vocals.
And there are aight or so i just mix in a kind of a
mega instrumental jumping genre mix

Hello
First of all I would like to thank you for the kind words.

And of course you are 100% right when you say that all this genre talk is silly. The whole thing was more like an inside joke. Because, as many here know, I'm not a fan of genres in any form. And I'm usually completely wrong when I try to name genres :)

As for the song - Of course you're right, I put quite a bit of time into it.
It's been a long, long, long time, the first song I've finished. Although I started endless songs, I didn't have the strength or the will to finish anything.
That's why I have the feeling that I've more or less drawn a line with this song and now something new is beginning.
Some people who know me will probably already think that this song doesn't quite fit the "old" Joe Cramer.

Thanks again for listening and for your comment

stay tuned
joe
