Description : This is a rock ballad. I know I was concentrating on Ska, but this chord progression just happened, so I decided to keep adding to it. I'm glad I did. The song has a lot of heart and soul. Classic love lost lyric, with a Les paul guitar solo, followed by a soprano sax (you don't hear those in your average rock ballad). All instruments and vocals Slap, drums by sonic foundry..
All comments welcome.
Cheers Slap...

Description : mix of blues & urban...
Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!
Description : Just some fun instrumental sliding in open G, GDG, on The Lone Rider fretless 3 string guitar. Rythym played using a ceramic slide by Evolution stoneware, lead using a Mojoboneworks bone/wood slide, both handcrafted as well as the guitar. Been a while, good to be back B-)
Description : A gentle, reflective and beautiful shuffle blues piece featuring one of my best ever electric guitar solos (for about half of it). Also has bass guitar, synth bass, two programmed acoustic drum kits, two types of sample-based sitars, a heavenly pad and a distinctive main string part. Special, text-based prizes to be awarded to the best comments!
Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.
Enjoy and download away.
Description : I've been recording/playing alot of downtempo clean tone stuff so thought it's about time for something a bit more upbeat. Played on my 3 string fretless Lone Rider homemade guitar with a wine bottle neck slide By J. Ross Guitars, Boneshaker 2 string cigar box bass, addictive drums. Love it or hate it, I'm having way too much fun and that's what counts :D
Description : A comfortable rhythm, simple yet incisive. Contains a loop from GuitarGuru plus a number of Sony Music Studio loops. I hope you enjoy it.
Description : Homemade 3 string fretless cigar box guitar, 5 string bass, addictive drums. Getting closer to that cbg album completion, 'Vastlands' :D mix may need tweaking, these headphones add bass. Try and stay dry in that cave, but be careful, you never know what lurks in the darkness behind!! Very pink floyd like,. Enjoy.
Description : Been away for a while. I am doing something I usually don't do with this one. Here is a blues track I put together in a day. It features everything being done by me, with improvised solos for each instrument. This was done using Fl Studio 12 and my Korg M50 keyboard. I plan on adding lyrics to it down the road and having everything much cleaner. Anyhow, enjoy!

Description : Cosmic Eastern chillout atmospheric shuffle blues with loads of bluesy/Eastern electric guitar playing and warm sub bass (the same synth patch I've used in about 20 tracks). No drum loops and just two programmed acoustic kits - probably the simplest drum setup I've ever used. One day I hope to make a track containing only one drum kit. Also: a few female vocal samples (including a heavily timestretched one), one section of bass guitar, a few sample-based string instruments, a few notes of organ and two synth pad instruments. So, quite a minimal instrument lineup for me. It goes uptempo around 4:31 into a grooving, stomping bit of shuffle blues and I wonder if I should have brought this section back at the end for a triumphant finale. But I'm trying hard these days not to make things too long and this is already a decent length. Also contains some darker, Eastern sections but nothing too dark. Have a listen and leave me some interesting feedback - the more detail, the better.
Description : Simple blues, rough mix. Composed with my friend Costa Zbinden. We will appreciate if someone would add some vocals! Sirup: guitars. Costa Zbinden: guitars and keys. Alex Richard: bass. Claude Barbotte: Hammond. With my own drum loop (here on Looperman, genre blues).
Absolutely fantastic, Slap! You're a class act in a league all on your own - and it's an honor sharing this site with the likes of you.
SOOOO is this sax harmonization I'm hearing? Beautiful and cool.
SLAP your voice SHHHi. You just knocked me back all over again. Just cuz you're making my mind spin with your good stuff here, I'm having ideas ... like with your voice and the sax, you should do something that blends from one to the other in a delicately cohesive way ... kinda like you sing "You made me feel ..." and as you sing a fade out of feel, the sax fades in and you play on the sax how you feel. That would be awesome.
Love your voice, both through just yourself and through your sax. Is there a clever nickname for a sax? like a guitar is an axe? cuz i would have used it.
Hey, it's always good to just let what comes out, come out. I try not to think of genres when I write, I find it just ends up pulling me in 5 directions when I need only 1. This was lovely... you're developing a great sound with this project and something I've noticed now that I've hit a few of the tracks... you've got a lot of variation both vocally and musically. When I buy a cd from an artist and realize all the tracks sound almost the same I am always gutted. I reckon nobody will find that happening with you :)
Gorgeous listen.
Lisa
this is really good and the fact that you do most of the playing and mixing yourself is really impressive
it sounds really good
This is simply a classic.
You are one of my Favourite Musician, Love you.
With respect,
Rashid
You have soul my friend, and it shows brillantly on this track, now I know why your harmonica loops sound so good, soul is the hearth of music, without it its only notes. Well done would love to collaborate with you, on sll my tracks I leave s lot space for melody, theres a lot of room to improvise. Really enjoyed the relaxing moment you provided me.
How good is this!...People that work in chicken factories by and large don't eat chicken...my point being they don't bring their work home with them....Whereas you being a professional musician also have music as your passion...that is an amazing combination and we here at the loop are lucky to hear and experience it first hand....A beautiful track with soul..this stuff just seems to flow out of you..excellent singing that segues into a tasty guitar solo...but when that soprano horn starts all glasses are put down...I do believe that is one of the best introductions I've ever heard of an instrument, all the ground work and preparation for it's arrival almost make it majestic.....simply World class playing......cheers mate :)
I just cant put my finger on who your voice reminds me of- But I will let you know one day!! Excellent all the way around. I like the way you do your drums with sonic foundry! The horns took me back the Stax Records Memphis days!! Excellent workk!!

Nice change of direction from your recent upbeat ska projects, this one is very laidback and kinda mellow. Everything sounds great, solos are amazing.
Great song as always Slap, I'd like to hear more from you in this style.
