Description : Final remix and edit done with Ableton Live 7 LE and Audacity. I tried (fairly successfully) to separate the sounds a bit and give some emphasis to the higher frequencies as well as the low. The tablas sure sound good!

If you have time take a listen and give n0mad23 some feedback.

Sifting through your collection and stumbled on this one that seems to have been tucked away from vision, some classic fusion work here and a prime example of your early developments into the huge tracks you produce now, dig the constant roller coaster feel....traditional meets Cyber punk?, also has the predatory feel you are so great at capturing, this one claws and bites..would be ideal for a remix this one, great vibe. faved.

In the olde days, it was particular forms of mushrooms that provided the technology for Shamanic work. Now it's Max MSP - lol. I must admit a certain amount of ambivalence listening to this one now, but will admit this early stuff was what kicked me out of my prejudice about DAWs and sample based music. Your comment about the "predatory feel" made me remember the old, old version of the film Jungle Book, and Mogli holding up the knife and saying, "see? I'm a man now. I have a tooth." Pointy teeth, that's me. Cheers my younger Celtic brother!

Hey my friend

Very different sounding piece from you, great jungle beat to it, nice choice of synths and effect in this one, very cinematic type of track that you would hear in a film/soundtrack, extremely interesting listen for sure, great use of percussion in this, something I have been trying to use more in my works as well, Love everything about this piece...another fav piece from you my good friend...Peace and much respect...Estefano...

One of the first 4 tracks I made and posted here. I'm really surprised when I listen to these "older" pieces, as I seem to be swimming in the same current. The biggest surprise though is how much more control I have of things now. Stay tuned, my next one coming has percussion that's some of my best to date! Hurrah! Thanks for the review my friend, you are indeed my most consistent source of encouragement! Means a lot.

I used Live 7 LE to master this, but did the recording on I Am The Mighty Jungulator, a stand alone Max MSP program with 6 tracks and severe limitations. Did everything with a mouse! When I found out that Live's backbone is Max I had to go that route. I do love Ableton, though she can be a merciless cruel mistress indeed! Thanks for the listen and review!

This has an intensity to it that I like brought on by the drums and the great percussion. The tablas have a nice tones to them and sound really nice. On play three now and there is a lot of sound here! Very edgy, raw sounding, could hear this in a sci fi movie for sure. Def puts you in a certain frame of mind listening to it..

Great stuff,

Wayne

Hi Wayne. You've found one of my earlier pieces that I tend to forget about now! This one was done as a live loop mix using I Am The Mighty Jungulator, and about the time I realized the power of Max MSP. Funny enough, I've recently pulled up that old buggy software and am shocked at how it no longer serves the kind of music I'm making. You can really hear the percussion fiend sensibility I carry with this track, can't you? Thanks for the listen and positive words. Sean

Well sir you have your niche here in fusion fo sho. You've blended some interesting sounds together throughout your tracks, really quite atmospheric. I'd call your tunes very 'moody'.

Coming from a dubster, I can see where your love for ambience, world-beat and dub come together real nicely. If I were to give you 1 point of critique to bring these environments closer to dubbing, would be to look a phrasing in your tunes. Find those parts and stanzas that seem to create musical 'parts' and try and deconstruct some of your very rich sounds. In any one of these songs you've probably got 12 different individual instruments that could either be isolated and played out, or simply placed in either cut time or double time to create a larger more expansive sound.

There is so much happening in them that I almost want to slow the track down, or single out individual parts to hear seperately.

Now that's just an off the hip advive per Jah, that certainly doesn't mean I'd want to change wgat was here, moreover just guide you towards your next bassline groove and dub mix.

key words here: bass line groove ;)

My little brother turned me on to The Orb when he came back from the UK in `88, and he's been telling me the same thing about the "bass line groove" since I started playing with this medium back in April and May.

In another track, someone said my music was what "maximalism" must sound like - and your critique emphasizes this. What's funny is I hated the Doobie Brothers because they had too much going on - I love classical chamber music but have never been so keen on symphonies. And here I am doing what?

The closest I've come to doing what you're suggesting is my latest track, "Totems from the Diaspora" and it's what I love the most about that song. When two of the drum tracks drop leaving only a single reggae loop of loopytunes and the North African fiddle drone comes sliding in. That's it!

Naturally it's exactly what your advocating as well. Stay tuned - I'm going to next do something specifically based on your review/advice. Thank you.

Love this track, wonderful percussion. It sort of gripped me if you know what I mean. I could not stop listening to it until it ended. Hypnotic and wonderful yet again!...C69

This one's on my list as one to remaster and get it into the best sonic form I can. I was looking back at reviews on this one, as I listened to it again. The percussion IS amazing in this one, and what it does to the psyche suggests it deserves to be refined and polished. Thanks for the review!

I agree. So much about dubbing it up is all about the samples - so I'm not surprised we're drawn to the same sounds. I am an old analog chap, so this realm is strange and delightful. I'll be checking out your page(s) presently - Cheers!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with Planet. Those percs are awesome. Though they sound sorta familiar, dunno where from, but it's trippin me out. And the bass kinda adds to the whole tribal vibe of this. Thanks for sharing. Later on!

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
The intro percussion is by Psychotropic Circle, so I'd imagine they sound familiar, as they are pretty darn distinctive! I went back and checked, and I did review and link the loops used to this track. I've definitely got my own bias when it comes to the ledger, and a good perc track will make or break the song. For sure there are some fine percussion loops that have been posted on this site. Thanks for checking it out Donnie.

I have listened to a few of your tracks now. At fist I did'nt get it and did'nt know how to review it. The more I've listened I've realised that u r good - not really my cup of tea musically but it is good. Reminds me of Ozric Tentacles (if u know them ) or similar ilk. Crazy psychedelix!!!

n0mad23 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks, and I think I know what you mean. With this technology I'm just playing with stuff that sounds good to me, and ultimately it sounds like - well, me. Strange. I've never heard of Ozric but my curiosity's peaked.

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.
