Description : Another Older track of mine But I guess It's new to looperman. I played all the keyboards on this tune. The Drum loop was created in magix. I also used the Radio Shack Md1800 to record the Piano parts. The other Synth parts were created using the Vst in Magix.

I guess this tune describes how we all might feel some times, that lonesome sad and trapped feeling of 'Just Existing.' It's good I don't always feel that way. I believe we are all here for a purpose. Sometimes we just don't always know right away what that is.

Hey man I like this track! Its a bit slow for me but I like the piano and the pads. At 4:20 the peace in the song started completing itself I really like the part after this :) It felt as if I was getting emptier but more at ease. Great track.

Thanks, I appreciate your interpretation of this song. You're never sure what someone will say. I'm glad it helped to put you more at ease. I guess I did my job with this track.

Thanks, Becca. That's got to be one of my favorite styles of music. I sure miss that keyboard, it was a very useful tool. I am glad to be able to share this song with you.

Todd - I just saw one of your tracks of the featured list and said "Yes! He's back!" I'm a bit disappointed that you haven't posted anything new, but am delighted that this track somehow slipped by me.

This is awesome. Several of us have been discussing Ambient music in a thread called "ambient logbook," and I'm going to have to link this song there as an example. http://https://www.looperman.com/forum/thread/94559

Swing in if you get a chance, as after listening to this one, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the genre.

Added to faves. Welcome back my man!

Thanks, nOmad23. Thanks for the warm welcome. Your're a true looper-friend. I've just been so occupied with working that I haven't had time for much of anythingelse. I try to check in on the looper every now and then. Thanks for listening to, and sharing this track with those in the forum.

you have a cool existential take on your music, i try to incorporate that into my music as well, on a cognitive level i guess the fact that we exist points to a purpose however it usually doesn't feel like that, good work exploring this mostly undiscovered country

Thanks, I try to think that our lives are greatly impacted by music in one form or another.

great switch - love how how the tune and arrangements develop, and how different parts come together smoothly.
and the way the track ends is so powerful it brings another sense
to all previous parts!

agree with BigPete.

at first.. i wasn't feeling it..
(err.. i dunno how much i like the drums.. but they are not bad at all!!! just... to me... heh)
but then something happened... and i couldn't stop getting chills.

i love that guitar groan tail end thing... that is quite a cool ambience.
Great Songwriting.
thank you for doing this. i really enjoyed this.

Thanks, I know the drums aren't the best. The were a generically generated loop through Magix. I felt like it worked for what I was trying to do at the time.

I'm glad it effected you in such a manner. Thanks for you kind remarks! Your also very much welcome!

love the mood you set and then progression to a more hopefull part and back to some despair, the piano has a 80's feel to it, very smart use of going from minor to major to create that emotional down up down up again glad it all ends in a up fashion. The quest to find ones purpose is not really one you make choices in your life that are going to make of your life a meaningfull life that will impact others (making music is one), the real trick is to make the right choices. Peace Love and Freedom to impact other peoples life in a good way.

This song defintely came out of a moment of inspiration. I'm not sure if I was conscious of how the music was flowing in this song, that is just how it came out. I agree with your statement about purpose. Thanks so very much.

Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

He was a simple man. A high school teacher; wife, kids. He never thought in all his life that he'd end up alone in the middle of the Apocalypse, his family dead, doing his best to survive against all odds. The zombies have grown hungrier. More agressive. They have him trapped. There's nothing he can do now.

Description : I intentionally made this song minimalistic. The drums I spliced together from some drum loops I had, there's one other loop in the mix, the rest of the instruments are played by me (bass and synths). I used the excellent (and free) Cakewalk z3ta+ vst and the BBC Symphony vst. My intention was to create a very simple and dream like ambient track. Feel free to download or comment. Feedback is always welcome. Thanks.

What do they listen to when they are creating the fabrics of Space and Time?

Questions that can maybe never be answered but only imagined. More tones and drones from the outskirts of the universe and Neomorpheus.
