Description : Another one featuring Bicky Stalls and the Snushbakes. This one is a groovy, dark and smokey little number somewhere between psychedelic and cinematic. It's like riding shotgun in the Devil's coupe on a slow midnight cruise to nowhere, half passed out, loaded on whiskey, cigarettes, and bad choices.
Enjoy, and please, let me know what you think. It's definitely not a typical Valvedriver style track, so your input is valuable.
Thanks, and take care.

Hi Valve
This track definitely belongs in a dark movie.
But I might be weird, but I think it also works as bedroom music.
It doesn't matter, it's just a great track. That part 2:42 ...wow.
Hello mr Moricone! What an amazing, atmospheric track! I see a cowboy trek through the forest, on his trusty steed, probably on his way to new adventures. Love it!
Thanks Bao. I have always loved Mr. Morricone's work. Mr. Badalamenti as well. They have different styles, but somehow share the same energy. As a big fan of both, it's really no surprise that they showed through in this one, and probably will again in future projects!
Thank you again. I appreciate it!
Take care.

For me Tarantino and Danzig the rock/metal band ...
Aaron ... you made it this perfectly ...
you are completely in it... heavy, deep and incredibly missing vocals... :-)
thanx for the upload, superb work ...
fistbump,
Danke
Thank you my friend. I almost forgot about Danzig. I Haven't listened to him since the 90s! But since you mentioned it, I can hear it in there.
Thanks again, brother!
Aaron
Excellent choice of instruments for this kind of music. Great sound and of course a special composition ready to support any Tarantino's movie. I really liked the track Aaron.
Best regards, Anthony
Thanks Robin, I appreciate it. Funny thing is, it wasn't intended to sound like a David Lynch soundtrack. I guess influences are going to pop up whether you want it to or not, huh?
Take care.
V.
of the charts good as always love the cough, that takes thought, its perfect soundtrack material for a number of different styles, theres a mysteriousness about it, but then again there is also a feeling of showing your confidence and walking proud be that alone or with followers by your side it has a dramatic feel a really cinematic vibe Aaron a great western as the underdogs get ready to fight, where's the A team when you need 'em eh. don't worry ValveDrivers here
Thanks, Paul.
If you listen just before the cough you can hear the lighter flicking as he lit his smoke. Also, right around 35 seconds in you can hear him move his chair. It's faint, but it's in there.
Funny how this turned cinematic. I wasn't really going for that, but I guess it is what it is, right? As long as people like it, that's all that matters.
Thanks again for swingin' by and giving it a whirl.
Take care, bud.
Aaron.
Wow, this sounds like something from a David Lynch film. The guitar tone is superb and I love the use of the Theramin here. Great choice of instruments all round. Outstanding track, this is something you should definitely explore, as you've tapped into something here. Well done.
I take the David Lynch thing as a hell of a compliment. It makes sense, too. Not only is he one of my favorite directors, but Angelo Badalementi is one of my favorite score writers.
The theremin in this is actually a patch I made in Massive just for this song. I'm sure, though, that it will make an appearance in more tracks to come.
There is definitely more like this in the works. Some of which I started years ago. This just happens to be the right time to work on them.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. I appreciate it.
Take care.
V.
Thank you. I've got a lot of feedback saying it could be in a movie, or a theme to a series. Not only on Looperman, but here at home as well. I'm alright with that.
Take care.
V.
Hello ValveDriver, agree with DanM, this does have a heavy cinematic side and would fit right in the middle of a yet to be announced thriller of some sort....its thats well done, you've put together a very good product my friend....be proud
Thank you Glenn, I appreciate that. I am mostly proud of this one. As an artist, I always find things that need improving, but I do like it quite a bit.
Thanks again for the kind words.
Take care.
V.
Can u send me the track pretty please? Email is on my profile....I was also going to send you something of mine the other day that maybe needs some guitar but couldn't see a way to message you.
Upright bass? What vst? Sounds cool whatever it is. This is a super cool track man. Sounds like something Tarantino would have put in one of his films. Or maybe The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. What is the bpm please?
Zoot, how's it goin'?
I'm glad you liked this one. It was a fun little project.
I sent an email your way. I'm sure you'll recognize which one is mine. You (anyone) should be able to contact me through looperman here. I didn't turn off the "contact me" option. I don't even know if that's a possibility.
Either way, let me know what you have planned.
Take care.
V.
Wow Aaron those guitars - v much a Spaghetti Western Vibe - love the reverb at the end, too. Slightly cinematic - not so sure that I would say this is weird. Beautifully composed.
Hello Kay!
Thank you very much for the kind words. It means a lot. I can definitely see how this has a Spaghetti Western vibe. We're just missing some ocarinas, bells, and a few whistles here and there.
Thank you again.
Aaron.

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 : My actual track for X-mas. Too late again, as usual... But now just with a few days only instead months. :D It's enough stodgy, need some mood for enjoy, that's sure. Dunno where to put it. Fusion? Cinematic? Weird? Trash? :)

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!

Description : Sung by me - bbrossas track for background
Saw this track on looperman and I had to make something.Please feel free to let me know what you think.
Open to suggestions. Thanks all :) I hope you enjoy!
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.
Description : Another mission in the vastness of the universe. "We don't know where, but we were there".
