Black And Blue - Zootman

21st Jul 2026 13:29 - 3 months ago
Description : First half is a weird bad acid blues trip; second half is the dreamy good acid.

Started as a joke, then I had to finish it to some degree coz I got strangely attached to it. Pseudoble played the distorted freak guitar. All other guitars, synths and vocals by Zoot. Music made by humans - obviously.

If you have time take a listen and give Zootman some feedback.

What's up Zootman,
I could have sworn I commented on your track over a week ago when I "Faved" it. Getting old is not "As Advetised"
This track instantly made me think about a Quentin Tarantino
It sounds like you and Pseudoble sync perfectly. I'm looking forward to hearing more.

Peace..From the Beach...

Yeah me and Pseudoble do seem to connect somehow. We've done many colabs and both often contributed things to each others work.

And yeah I'm trying to age gracefully but am in some danger of becoming a grumpy old man. There's lots to be grumpy about at the moment tho so maybe it's justified!

Loved your last track by the way.
Cheers Chris

The working title when I took the plunge and saved the project was "silly little thing". Which just about says it all. Cheers Zoot.

Don't know why I imagined a fly on the wall from it's perspective in a dream like state. Would be a cool movie for sure, with your track. I do like different things, this does it for me!

Great listen, had some vibes from way way back, before my brain switched to dance ;)

Yeah it didn't come out anything like it but in the second half I was aiming for a Pavement vibe like on Pueblo.

Zootman replied 5th Aug 2026 - 2 months ago
Thanks man. I'm fond of the chill bit, I liked adding the oohs and aaahs. Some of them were falsetto, which I'd never do in public lol.

Interesting dive into a world, yes, rather dreamy where duality makes it understandable.
It has been an easy listen though so I'd say the approach is successful.
Best regards, Anthony

Duality yes, I like that. Well described. Thanks for the listen, Zoot.

Strange little track, I enjoy the weirdness of the first half, also the dreamy floating of the second. The subtle background vocals in the latter are also a very nice touch. Bobo.

Zootman replied 5th Aug 2026 - 2 months ago
Yep it's a silly little thing really. In fact that was a possible title for it and one stage.

Hi Chris, well, this definitely has something to do with insects, but in a very delightful way. This is a truly beautiful piece of music that could only spring from genuine inspiration!!! It is truly amazing how easily something like this comes to you. Ahoi!
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Aug 2026 - 2 months ago
Ha, well I guess those weird synth sounds in the first half might be reminiscent of busy insects. Cheers Chris

Interesting track that takes the listener on a psychodelic trip. I like that the composition is two-staged: it starts with a rather chaotic, unsettling atmosphere and transforms perfectly into a rather cozy and dreamy condition at the end.
Zootman
Zootman replied 27th Jul 2026 - 2 months ago
Yes a bit of a trip. I am quite fond of the second section, I feel like it could be a proper song perhaps if if extended it and added some vocals with lyrics. Thanks, Zoot.

Hello Zootman, the beginning is somewhat slow to take hold before a more organized and recognized music shape takes form.....my opinion
Zootman
Zootman replied 23rd Jul 2026 - 3 months ago
That's probably a fair comment. I really did start it as a joke with the warbly off key synths, but then it morphed. I think I could probably make a half decent song out of it actually, if I did some words/vocals on the second portion. Cheers Zoot.

Love this - instantly I got transported to psychedelic Beatles and some George Harrison Music namely his Cloud 9 album. Love the flow of guitars into the distortion - brilliantly weaving and luring you in to a delightful guitar utopia

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I think it needs a new title tho! But I haven't thought of one yet.

Description : When I made this beat, I had only been learning how to create beats for about two years-back then, I was using FL 9. It took me a huge amount of time to figure out how to use FL Studio, lol.
As you can probably hear,
I don't use any loops.
