Description : What started with a comment on ValveDriver's "Brass Knuckle Kingdom" about adding vocals ended with a demo/proof of concept of how I imagined it might sound. With ValveDriver's approval, I'm posting that demo.
ValveDriver's music is unchanged, and all credit goes to him. My lyrics are ridiculous, my vocals are terrible, but masked by tools, and it's all about tea :-)
Have a good laugh, but get a sense of what I meant by adding vocals to this masterpiece.
Enjoy!

If you have time take a listen and give TheFrenZ some feedback.
A acid tab comes to mind ;)
It was a great track without the vocals but i think your right it brings it up another level with vocals in it you done a great job with the vocals a very cool Collab :)
Thanks, glad you like it. Yes a great track in its own right and I was lucky that my attempt wasn't that bad. Imagine the result with good topic related lyrics and a real vocalist, possibly a banger.
But I will probably try again in the future ;-)
Well it is a nice song, the vocals are correct and stand just fine for such music. Of course the lyrics are hilarious and sophisticated the same time. I like that stuff and the way it is blended with the music, the effects and all the work done.
Best regards, Anthony
Hi Anthony, thanks for the listen and glad you like it. Music: ValveDriver. Vocals: I just try, no autotune this time ;-). Lyrics: I made some mistakes in the tea recipe, dimestop pointed that out, and ValveDriver found a song having the same topic "T.U.S.A." from the album "Sunrise On The Sufferbus" by "Masters of Reality". I was in the production of stone wool back than, but in music it's just like in fashion, sooner or later someone will create, without knowing, something that already exists.
Best regards,
TheFrenZ
Ethereal vocal delievery, I can feel the pain. Some weird shiat is going on, like Bjork in verse and Werner Herzog in the breaks, never encountered 3rd kind new age stuff in this context. Really impressed. Valve got that blessed touch in his production booth goes hard. If you ever got time I would love to do some crazy stuff. Love from a banana
Hi banana, Thanks for the listen and glad you like it. Wouldn't be possible without ValveDriver's track. Once and a while I try to think in the box but mostly I just create things that I like that can get a bit crazy sometimes. I have time to play, just PM me.
Hello TheFrenZ, I celebrate you making this track, the vision is yours and you've produced a good weird song here....its definitely out there but thats the beauty of it.....very good work.
terrifying, cold, ugly but it fits this afterlife in an elemental way... the whole thing is so huge... I'm so scared I'm going to listen to ABBA... :-)
The lyrical content to this reminded me of a song called "T.U.S.A."from the album "Sunrise On The Sufferbus" by the band Masters Of Reality, released in 1992. GInger Baker from Cream and Blind Faith was their drummer, and vocals for that song. It's also about how Americans can't make tea.
For the record, though, this American doesn't do tea, so I can never be accused of making a bad cup. Now, coffee on the other hand...that's my thing. I'm behind every step of the process, starting with roasting my own. So, I always know it's fresh, and I have the brewing down to a science.
Anyhow, as far as this track goes. I REALLY like the sustained vocals. They fit so damned well. I know the lyrics are meat to be humorous, but the way you delivered them really drives the point home.
@Dimestop, thank you for the boost, man! I appreciate that!
As always, take care.

Checked the song, the same topic, hilarious, I figuratively speaking reinvented the wheel, but I guess I won't be the last. When I'm creating, ideas spark into my mind, the brain picks these from ones own experiences. I started with the sustained "I feel" but changed over time and it just went to the tea as topic :-) Personally I'm a espresso/coffee drinker, tea only once and a while. Roasting your own coffee is a bridge to far for me, but I totally relate as my son's espresso machine's automation is a timer with seconds and decimals, the grinder has one to. It's a constant search for the best coffee, I guess for you is the search for the best beans and the optimum roast temp and duration, you must have a damn good nose to find the optimal point in the roast when to cool the beans. I'm still in the process for finding lyrics that fit the song, I won't create a new version but send you lyrics that possibly could fit the song.
Again thanks that I could work on your song.
Frans ive had the pleasure of working with Aaron a few times, he is a great artist, his dark and moody as f@ck music is fire, bro i'm pissing myself laughing, the lyrics are great, i,ve watched many a youtube vid Americans trying to make a cup of English tea, they aint got a clue it always looks like warm milk lol, i wouldn't give it my plants to drink, this gets a fav and i don't hand them out unless i have been impressed or amused as in this case, great thinking outside the box, your spot on too never boiling water, if your making it with a tea-bag leave it in for 3.06 remove add milk and sugar to your liking i had a great time listening
Great to see that you enjoyed this one so much, I had different "placeholder" lyrics in the process but this one was created due to lack of inspiration for proper dark lyrics related to the song title, getting there by now, not my own but by gathering bits and pieces from the internet. When I have something, its for Aaron :) But as it was about how a vocal could sound like, the lyrics didn't actually matter however "la la la" wouldn't do the job, I needed the sustained "I" and "Why" etc. And thanks for the tea recipe, I will enjoy a cupper this evening.

Description : I am quite open to all kind of music out there. This time I had some Church organ pipes lying around. With the help of 2nick8 and IMHO one of his best songs out there I put him into a big room and let the organs speak. Yes, maybe weird, maybe different, maybe 2nick8 will throw some egg against me ... I did it. What do you all think of it? (I changed the Genre to "Weird" in the meantime but "Experimental" would do also.
Description : I started out making this track a Vocal track, then it turned into a Chillout track but, now I'd say DubJazz, PsychoFunk or Weird. You be the Judge.
Description : This track is only magmatic chaos hanging on a simple rhythmic skeleton. I had fun shaping and mixing the most disgusting electronic slurry.
Description : Hey guys! Well, this is the first time I upload a song with my voice. I have to confess that this is not a style I usually sing. And, as an extra point, this is my first song in english. My native language is spanish, my english is not perfect, so sorry for mistakes (grammar, pronunciation, etc). Well, about lyrics, I explain the story on description of the instrumental version. If you want to read the story or hear the instrumental track, go here [ https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/146653 ]. This song was made on Magix Music Maker 2013 Premium and Adobe Audition 3.0. I hope you like it. Thanks! SUN & MOON... FIRE & ICE HEART... LIGHT & DARK FUSION...
Description : I wanted to do something different, TheFrenz sent me the stems to his excellent track 'Transformer' - And only one of the several versions of the track, using many of the same elements each time.
So I threw my hat in the ring with a version of my own, taking the elements of Transformer and doing some transforming. It only makes the song title that much more awesome. Music can certainly be transformed, taken to its next form...and the music can also be what transforms US. Pretty deep, man.
Description : So i did a bit of sound design on an interview i watched (its not a film or anything with reserved rights so Looper Admin finna chill out,lol)
its of a lady who committed a crime of passion, tortured her BF for 3 days before killing him because he had "snitched" and put many people in Jail.she shows no remorse at all and is presentably a very highly intelligent individual..this is a project i did.
basically some cinematic ambiance to accompany the tone of the convo and at the end i just put some simple loops of strings,arps and a nice killer guitar...didnt work hard on the drums tho..i dont know what genre this is so i will put it under "weird" then sit in a corner and cry coz no one listens to weird stuff lol
peace Loopers
Description : Again not sure of genre but it is kinda weird. Very much an experiment and Im not sure if it works but someone will let me know no doubt. If you can cope at all probably better with headphones. Pad sound is guitar treated with reverbs, crazy drums constructed from Akai kits and free jazz SFZ kit, sax samples and minimal synth line from arturia minifreak
It was a great track without the vocals but i think your right it brings it up another level with vocals in it you done a great job with the vocals a very cool Collab :)
But I will probably try again in the future ;-)

Very creative of you to put such a lyrics on such a song.
Good job!
