Re-visited this today - your voice carries emotion effortlessly and there is such a divine purity in your guitar playing - it is so captivating

From the heart this one, maybe that's what you're picking up on. Thanks, Chris.

Hello Zootman - We (yes, we are sat together, having listened), love your soulful, emotional vocal. The way you inject your musical identity and bring that unique energy into this track is so engaging. This is incredibly unique and we really enjoyed the listen. Have to agree with you - one of your best so far! One thing though, I wouldve set the genre at soft rock - maybe that's just me. Kay and Oli

Hello again, thanks for listening (again!). Weston63 did a couple of pretty nice remixes of this track too, and others of mine. Looking forward to hearing some new ones from you guys, though I'm struggling to find much time at the moment for listening or creating (tag teaming on work and home duties with my better half). All the best, Chris

Hi again.
You're right.
Indeed, I too was not on LM for a while.
And I won't be around much for a while.
It concerns something that happened to my son.
But we will get over this too.
I will certainly not disappear from Lm and continue with music.
If I read it correctly, you were busy and not at home?
And a problem with your CPU. Yes, I know that problem. A laptop that is so full that it is in the red. A slow CPU so you can no longer use too many different synths because then you only hear a lot of crackling and delay.

Greetings Rita

Hi Rita, I'm sorry to hear you have some problems at the moment. I hope things get better for you. And I look forward to hearing more of your music. Hopefully I'll catch your latest one tonight. Cheers Chris

Hi Rita. Thanks for the listen and feedback, I always like to hear from you. You maybe seem to have been around here about as much as me lately, which is to say, not much at all. I hope all is well with you.

inexplicable inevitable inexorable. mixing is fantastic man, the writhing guitar figures, atmospheric and earthy keys, the lyrical enchantment. fey, clairvoyant, darkly teasing. ace stuff!

excellent return Chris really loved the vibe. in my opinion a vocal and guitar are the best, simplistic but if its not bust dont fix it. this was a great listen mate

thanks! the original instrumental version of this merged into another track that featured one of your guitar loops. I hope to make that into another track when I can get the chance. Cheers Zoot.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.
