Description : Feel free to check out the YT video as well - with this track I took a more electronic direction, while trying to keep a bit of a rock spirit :) First song I publish with male vocals and shorter than previous ones....any feedback is appreciated
Hello Alan - Great guitar work here - got splashes of echo and the bunnymen and flock of seagull feel wehn I listened. Love that you have written lyrics. My only suggestion would be to deepen and beef up your vocal to get that angst across. Good work. KayOS at VintageNights
Hi Kay, thanks for listening and for the technical suggestion, also interesting to read about these references, never listened to those bands, I'll take a look :) Alan
I dig this. It's kind of dark and groovy. It's got a good vibe to it.
I like to mix synths with traditional instruments in my work as well, so, I really liked the way you incorporated them in yours.
I think, however, the drums could have been a bit louder in the mix. They're kind of buried in the background, and hard to hear in some spots. Other than that, it sounds good.
nice intro guitar and great vocal, its tight, nice tone, some great sounds like that jews harp cross sort, nice melody tones and a relaxed drum track, the bass is fire, great work mate nice listen
The opening guitar riff pulls us gently into the song with waves of reverb and there is a electro buzz like a cross between a didge and a mouth harp setting up some cross rhythm. And then a very sweet vocal, and such complementary melodic and warm arps, builds with some seriously fine hooks. Electro pop bliss happening here. Very nice structure too - a real hit.
Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : NEON DRIVE is a smooth flowing electronic track with a steady progression. I hope it entertains you and creates a temporary dreamscape for you to get lost in.
Originally started in 2008, cleaned up and completed on October 28, 2014.
Love guitar and the lyrics. Vocals were on point. Well done.

Good work. Keep it up.
Take care.

Have a good weekend
