Description : I did this song with Slap way back in 2008 (original version is on this page). I decided to try to make it a bit more current and hopefully succeeded. My huge thanks to my good friend Ernie help with the sax. He said he couldn't hold a candle to Slap, but I think he did all right. Enjoy the new version.

Gizmo, thanks for the kind feedback. It was nice to have a template to work with, and then have someone as gifted as Ernie to take over the sax. As always your feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope all is well.

Stunning sound. I've listened to a few of your tracks over the years and I seem to remember they are often uplifting and positive and generally rather beautiful. This is no exception. Very enjoyable listen. As an ex and very bad sax player i appreciate the skill here. Cheers Zoot.

My question is "did the title come first or vice versa?" and it came to me just by your intro where I truly felt the vastness of the sea. The sax gave to my ears the complexity of the life in the sea, it is so vibrant and its melodies are so dreamy, the variations, the pauses, your excellent synth work, not to mention the drums and the basslines, all together brought a beautiful world to my senses. Yes I could understand your title and I believe some things beyond it. So I do compliment you on this, excellent work (your sound is a beauty too).
Best regards, Anthony

Anthony, the song came before the title. At the time, I lived on the West Coast of the US, right on the ocean, and I always loved going for walks along the shoreline. I had the song written and then asked Slap if he would bless it with his amazing sax work. He agreed and the original was born. This version is just me trying to update the old girl. As always, your kindness and time are greatly appreciated. I hope all is well.

at the intro i just sat back and exhaled, this is such a pleasure to listen to, the sax is stellar, THE star of the show. the drums sitting just under are so on point the synth work is great i like the razor saw wave, sound and production are excellent Bear and such a good outro too, top work and a back slap for Ernie,

in the UK Ernie drove the fastest milkcart in the west, its a comedy skit from an old UK comic, Benny Hill, you wouldn,t get away with it today, some of it was close to the knuckle

Hey brother, thanks so much for stopping by to give this one a listen. Ernie did Slap justice for sure and I think we breathed a little life into the old girl. I loved Benny Hill, what a great show. And you are correct, in these times they would be all over him haha. As always, your time and kindness is appreciated. I will pass the kind feedback on to Ernie as well. I hope all is well.

Thank you so much! I will pass your compliment on to Ernie. He will be thrilled to hear someone other than me likes his playing haha. Seriously, he has real chops, so these kinds of exercises only go to prove how good he really is. Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. It is greatly appreciated. I hope all is well.

Description : 4!_(07@2nd) harmonic protocol reboot sequence

This track is an elaboration of dgalantic’s track “Starting Over 0172257.” It is almost entirely comprised of loops by other artists on looperman. The newsreel in the intro section is from public domain footage of the Vietnam War. Prince Fatty chimes later in with some words of wisdom. The track was sequenced with Mixtikl and edited in Audacity.

Loops from the following artists are included:
1. ThatJeffCarter’s guitar “feedback 197765”
2. three of Nightingale’s harmonica trills: “angels 0088377, inner light 0088361 and never and never 0088366”
3. Heavily fx’ed vocal excerpts from Eshar’s “7th Dimension 0002644”
4. Dcmack’s rhythm loops “2 bass drums 1- 0085449, 2- 0085446, and 4- 0085448.”
5. Steelyvibe’s choral wash “luno frunezo 0005719”
6. Nightingale’s guitar loop “diving deep 0043488”
7. Rasputin1963’s chorals “ soul ladies gospel riff 0088641 and reggae soul girls choir 0087693”
Genre: Cinematic
Tags: papico, Cinematic, Piano, feedback, choral washes, choir, harmonica, guitar, dgalantic- starting over, thatjeffcarter-feedback, dcmack- 2 bass drums 1,2 and 4, nightingale-angels, inner light, never and never, diving deep, eshar-7th dimension, steelyvibe- luno frunezo, rasputin1963-soul ladies gospel riff, reggae soul girls choir, Vietnam War newsreel

bpm: 120 key: D

Description : Dark, slow, ambient, cinematic jazz with funereal piano turning into something much funkier, psychedelic and beautiful in the second half. Out of the darkness and into the light, you could say. Instruments: electric guitar + bass, lots of synth sounds, including a horn, double bass, another big legato bass, pizzicato strings, two types of piano, a heavily delayed slide guitar instrument, zither, synth arp, one brushy drum loop, kettle drum rolls and 4 programmed acoustic drum kits. This is quite a special track for me and is only the second I've put in the cinematic genre. The more you listen, the more it changes (it even has key changes) and the last three minutes are really quite far out and should probably be longer. Best track I've made for a few months. Interesting thoughts and reflections appreciated. Free sex for the best reviews...

Description : I'm going to file this under Cinematic. It's quite a dark and brooding track, maybe suitable for a Sci Fi film? I kept things simple with this, used a few loops as building blocks, then added some synths (Vital and Z3ta+ vst's). Probably a bit different to the other tracks I've uploaded so far? But I like a bit of variety. Feel free to download or comment. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Description : It's been a long time since I posted a track.

Voyager...
I wanted to go with something very spacey. Huge sci-fi fan, from anime to cheesy 60's B movies. I didn't want something all dystopian. It's been done. So, I kinda thought I would make something about a lonely space traveler. I named the track after the Voyager I space satellite. The 'Voyager' in my head(vision?) was just an astronaut. But, he watches the earth die. The last person alive scenario. Hard to imagine what the last person alive would have in his head....

Track Detail - Sequenced in Reason 4. Nothing on this is a real instrument. The intro pad is a weird little Malstrom patch with a envelope filter and chorus. The chorus module is cv modulated non synced so its kind of wild. The first pluck instrument is a Koto. It's not played the way it should so it sounds more like an acoustic guitar. The violins are a Mellotron patch. The acoustic guitar isn't a preset patch but was made using Reason's other presets. I like that patch. Could of tried recording a guitar but I found that mock up to be alright. Other sounds were some weird modulated textures made with Thor. Drums were just samples that were filtered and pitched to fit. Kick and snare played off my Axioms pads. Hats were in a Redrum module.

Listen and enjoy. If you don't like it, leave me violent feedback lol. Cheers :D
