Description : Vox, lyrics, guitars and keys by Zoot. Two LM loops used: main guitar riff that threads its way through is by Lwxofficial. Dark guitar riff is by Stevierain. Pseudoble provided a bit of atmospheric synth.

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

Hello my friend
a beautiful text that you have placed in a fitting, somewhat dark but excellent musical environment! Great! This reserved musical accompaniment is wonderfully staged and supports the singing excellently. A two-way communication takes place between music and singing. A truly amazing and impressive combination.
However, there is a small shortcoming. I wouldn't be Manuela if I didn't mention it. *smile. To my ears, the vocals are somewhat displaced by the guitar in some places. I would work a little more with sidechain compression here, because a general increase in volume would be the wrong approach and would take away the soul of the song. But it's just my impression. Maybe others have a different opinion.
Nevertheless, a wonderful song that I love very much!

Greetings from the other side of the world

Manuela

Zootman replied 15th Feb 2024 - 1 year ago
Hi Manuela, always to good to hear from you and your critical appraisals. You're probably right that the guitars and other accompaniment sometimes obscure the vox. I did try to make the vocals more front and centre on this one (I have a habit of trying to bury them or distort them because I still find it weird to hear my own voice). So I did try to pay attentiion to that in the mix. Perhaps I'll do as you say and try ducking the guitars via some side chain compression. I'm a bit handicapped by my old laptop, which frequently can't deal with the CPU and often approaches meltdown or critical mass lol. Which generally means I have to use all sorts of work arounds to try and reduce overall cpu use. Cheers Zoot.

Let me know what you guys think! I know this one isn't going to be too popular but hope you guys like it! I feel like it might be a little bass heavy but tell me what you guys think!

Description : To me this sounds like a late night jam when everyone in the band but the drummer is half toasted and things could fall apart any second. Funnily enough that's pretty much what it is only I'm the band. One take on guitars vocals and bass, minimal edits. Could be a complete mess could be not. Either way happy if you let me know.

Description : This track is a collaboration with another Looperman member, Salve Clements, a very talented vocalist from Australia. Salve wrote the lyrics and composed and recorded the vocal melody and lyrics.

In working on the mix, I simply wasn’t able to achieve a proper balance in the overall sound. So, I got some help from Wytse Gerichhausen of White Sea Studio in the Netherlands. He was able to fix the problems I had created and got it sounding the way I had hoped it would.

Description : In 2017 my little cousin took his own life. My entire family blamed themselves for it. Never questioning what he was going through or what he may have been feeling. For a long time, I wanted to create a song where I put myself in the shoes of someone hurting. This song has a long way to go before it's finished. I wanted to share what I have thus far in hopes it inspires me to finish it.
