Description : Okies yall, I'm proud to present to you a Looperman Group Collaboration that's been done by TravisHuckins, Jahknow,, and myself (so far). With a few more members who may also do something with this.
It all started when I posted this thread a lil while ago. Almost instantly, these 2 guys hopped up and offered their skiils. So I kinda formulated a game plan and suggested designations for people's parts. What resulted was (in order)...
Trav on the Bass
Jah on the Drums
and myself on the Pads
The past couple of days I did alot of referencing to see if I couldn't come up with the best key sequence to compliment what the other two fine fellows had setup already. I listened to DI.fm's Goa-Psy channel. I must admit that comin up with synth stuff for this kinda music seemed like it was gonna be hard (atleast with the stuff I was hearing there). Basically, I just made a really simple= D, F, E, C held key roll and then went and added 3 layers of effects on one sample I converted to wav and another layer of effects on a copy of the basic Midi sample.
I didn't hear it the last few times I was listening to the channel, but I was immediately reminded of this one track I heard some time ago that kinda did a tribute to the movie Pitch Black (with the alien creature's funny sounding call). So I tried emulating that a bit in one of the effected channels. Then I wanted to give kind of an electrical/Band Saw type of sound on another. The other two just kinda serve to accentuate the rest of the song, I think.
Anyways, I recorded my stuff on Magix with my NanoKey and I'll be sending out the samples (both wav & midi here in a few) to those who're involved. Well all, I really hope yall dig what we've come up with so far... And if you feel like any of this needs tweakin or anything just let us know, okay. Off for now. PV/TC!

Talk about a great track for a game. This would be awesome for a fast paced game where you running through a large building killing zombies and other assorted nasties by the hundreds.

Preety damn cool track (Faved)

All The Best

I heard that. Course the movie that inspired this was about a guy trapped in a computer world playing video games. The game you described kinda reminds me of the old NEO-GEO game, 8 Man (based on the Japanese comic/movie). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Hey Man! You guys sure threw together a very cool and also original sounding track! While listening I get the feeling I'm walking alone in a dark jungle with mysterious creatures running around from tree to tree and strange noises echoing from the deep of the jungle! Congrats to all that worked on this track! ;)
I like your strange creature like call you created as well as the mysterious vibe that your pads create! Great stuff! Keep it up!

DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with this track too. It was really great how this came together as quickly as it did. Though others showed interest in it I feel that what we have is pretty jammin (no need for anything else, really). As for my stuff, it's funny coz I just watched the spec ed dvd the other day and realized that the alien's cry is a bit different from mine (shrugs). Oh well, glad ya dug it. Lates!

Wassup I like the track yo it kind of hypnotizes me into a deep thinking trance.....YEEEAAAHHHHH!

Sorry bout the delay (school stuff). Prech that mate. That's what I usually always try to do with my music (get people to open their minds and just get sucked into their own thoughts along with what they are hearing). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Sounds like you gave those birds from pitch black some powers man, you weren't supposed to help them. This is awesome and trippy, ESPECIALLY towards the end. Dig.

DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Haha, never thought of 'em that way. Always pictured 'em as being big alien bugs. I just loved the way they sounded. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Thanks mate. I think if this is ever worked on again it'd be cool if it had some alien sounding vocals (or some underwater sounds instead). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

thats some mad stuuf right there. feels like it should be in a chase scene in the new terminator. great fx. this is one of them tracks that when you listen to it you can't tell whats been done, like usually you can guess ' oh they have used a delay there and a reverb on that' but with this i honestly have no idea. i like that tho, it means is=ts very unique in that sense. i have to agree with salkizar that a kick would have made it more appealing for me personally but i still like what you guys have done. good collab.

Yeah, I totally wanna see the new Terminator (though 3 was kinda bleh, ya know). Ironically, this was started with the original intent of being for a music video. Kinda forgot about it, opps, haha.
As for the randomness, it just turned out that way. I can't speak for the other guys, but I know that I was trying to create organized chaos. Though that's thanks to the multi-FX I added. Man, if you had heard the original midi I generated for this you'd be disappointed.
Speaking of which, I've gotten into midi if ya ever want me to make somethin for ya. Later on!

The collaboration really works - I would have wondered if there were three of four people involved if I hadn't read it first. Maybe it's the synergy factor - just not really possible when going solo. Nice rhythmic noize, too.

DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks mate. Yeah, I don't think that this would've worked if it had been done in solo. The other guys did terrific work. Later on!

I've experimented with goa a few times so let me tell you what I find is a good psychedelic key signature. Well I don't know it's name, but here are the notes.

C
C#
D#
E
G
G#
A#

The three most important notes are C, D#, and E, usually in that order.

Holy S**T!!!

I want to DnB remix this sooooooo bad, if you could break up the loops for me and send them over, I would drop a reese, and a Reese like beat over it....

Let me remix it!

Great track!

Hey lil bro. Thanks for the heads up there (I'm still mostly just a percussionist with a couple of keyboards, haha).
As for remixing this, shoot JahKnow an email and have him send you what he did. Personally, I like that version better, but if you'd like the crazy synths I added to it I can email you a link to a folder I got all of 'em stored on (eSnips). Which reminds me, it prolly wouldn't hurt to add 'em here too now. So thanks for both mate. Later on!

Wow DV you made that into something pretty fantastic. A real nice tune to take a journey with. This collab idea I feel could lead to a lot more GOA trance. You say the word next time you want to get out there again,
DonnieVyros
DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks Jah, and since you know what my original pads sound like you really know how much stuff I hadta do to make 'em sound worth a darn.
And I agree, I'm thinking we could take the lead into trying to encourage people to make more different kinds of music on here. Not just with Goa, but with a variety of genres.
In fact, check out my latest collab challenge on here (about indo-chinese grooves). I want it all, baby, haha.
Oh, and be on the look out with this song, coz I honestly wanna go back & mix it more before this weekend.
As for collabin, will def letcha know. Later on!

Thanks mate. I couldn't believe how good this turned out either. And I'm actually shocked that it came together like it did. Seems like most of the collab ideas/offers I throw out there go ignored, mostly.
As for the track again, I can't wait to hear what XxYoung does for this (and I might even go back n do some mixing of this later on tonight). Thanks for stoppin by. Later on!

Dude this is way cool, I love this type of trance. Except for the fact that it makes my eyes trip out for no reason. im at school and i had to stop it cause my eyes couldn't focus on the board. But its all good cause thats a good thing, Haha. Great work guys...
DonnieVyros
DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Haha, that's cool mate. Though the eye thing? Oh wait, I see, you were multitasking, lol. Yeah, I get the same thing with trying to focus on more than one thing at a time. The downside of aging with ADHD (is that in some ways it wears off and in others it gets worse, shrugs). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

This is really good guys....It actually sounds as if it came from one artist...every sound compliments each other to perfection...the FX on this are brilliant D..and the alien samples from Pitch Black are on point (I love that film)..this is my first experience of Goa Trance and I hope it isn't the last...this track really sets the bar high...

DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hey Ash,
Didn't use any samples. Just played my NanoKey all crazy and then tweeked 'em with an effect or two to get that sound. And in a way it did come from one artist-
Me...
JK (bad joke, sorry)!
Naw, seriously, I'd really like to thank the guy who wrote the script for Tron which served as the inspiration for this. If he hadn't written it this wouldn't've been made.
As for Goa- one word (sorta)= www.DI.fm (they got a channel dedicated to this music and is where I usually will listen to it... works best if you've got WinAmp or Itunes, faster bitrate on those).
As for the bar- we'll see, we'll see. XxYoung's currently workin on adding the leads. Glad you enjoyed it. Later on!

Hi all.
I'm really getting down to this track, I like the groove to the intro, that bass is awesome. I love the chord sequence. I think the FX really makes this track though, some really cool alien esque sounds. In the latter parts of the song I think the crash cymbal is a bit quiet. I'm liking what I'm hearing. Can't wait for more.
DonnieVyros
DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Cool deal Helix,
I just shot the samples over to XxYoung the other day so this'll definately be entering it's next stage of evolution soon. Anyways, glad ya dug it. Later on!

Salkizar 4th Apr 2009 21:38 - 17 years ago
Lotsa fine effects goin on in here....but where is the kick? Doesn't it need a groove?? I feel it's cryin out for some rhythm..
DonnieVyros
DonnieVyros replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hey Sal,
I hear ya buddy. Course, I dunno how much Goa you listen to, but Kicks are kinda optional there, ya know?
Course, Jahknow might hear this, see what you wrote and go back to tweek his Drums.
Coz remember- its the first version of this. A concept which I'm sure will undergo quite a few changes and modifications before the final product is ready (read what I wrote Travis about some of my lil flub ups, haha).
And we (collectively speaking) haven't even discussed the remix version I wanna do once the final is done. Prech the feedback. Later on!
