Hey Mike - just back from travels ... this one has some pointers to the animal collective to these old ears but lots of gorgeous jazz square wheel ambiance - a beautiful sonic trip.
Free sound sure is an endless draw of interesting things but I havent mastered how to craft with it yet - spent ages listening the sounds made on the Prague metro (I lived there once). Hope you are doing well

cheers Ian! i am mainly plundering freesound from the o-2 second range, but yeah i dig the long environment recordings too. on relisten i found this too torturous to bear. it’s been a bete noir but i have kinda sorted it out in the current version.
thanks for the words and ears, mate. i’m off to find what you’ve been up to!

Hi Mr Stokes. I've used Freesound too, tho generally for sound fx. I'll have to delve deeper I can see. This is like a twisted version of something Helios might have done. And man I love a double bass.

i can get with helios! freesound is like another planet i get to explore. i love searching on abstract keywords and sorting results from shortest to longest. lots of the things i plunder are in the under 2 seconds range. mixing these with longer loops is kinda my modus operandi at this time. got a hopefully much better pc i neeed to get running that i hope opens some new doors.
hope all’s well, Chris.

Waiting for the sun, great Doors album. But I think they are all pretty awesome.

As I listen it has a nice, positive feel to it. Cool changes and nice instrumentation. Some serious low end happening!!

I'm gonna take my Spanish Caravan down to Love Street now, running late, it's Five to One. he!

Take care, keep having musical fun!

this is class work bro, it has sombre chillout feel, things are happening, slowly building, i thought the sun was going to shine through, it didn't, it wasn't supposed to, that bass kept the vibe low, one word in the description, waiting explains perfectly, seeing the transitions you expect it to shine at some stage, there is a couple of little glimmers of penetrating light, you're not selling the sun, this is the calm before the full show is cast with your psychedelic charm added, you captured it Mike, another great production mate

haha man i was a little sick from the forest fire smoke coming down from quebec, it’s been harsh on some of us. damn i feel for them living right near the fires.
i tried tweaking this tune to get a little more blue sky in it as conditions have improved. hope all’s well, my man!

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 : 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 : 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!
Please feel free to download from kayos2.bandcamp.com if you want to support our work. Many thanks, Oli&Kay

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.
