I like that last snare hit - this deserves a 33-1/3 endless scratch loop release - fluid no kitsch but weirdly vinyl-sounding synths/keys - cool vox presence

My kind of stuff. Blending orchestra and electronic. Awesome synths. Like the fun light hearted ending to an overall dramatic track.

this is a track which i like for its mix of genres it sort of had a orchestral feel at the start then sort of merged with this dance beat quite well it is very well thought out and sound quite complex.

There's a cinematic vibe going on here as well, and your opening sequence reminds me of a lot of Peter Greenaway's musical choices. Then of course it mutates several times into distinct movements. Very interesting moving from contemplative trancy bits into head bobbing rhythms. Nicely done on several levels.

Greenaway's Last Supper - that was a trip! The opera woman goes Wild. And at a few points did I hear why you might say that! Last Supper thing was interesting, I think it's sort of reminiscent of what we do with music and the remixing and all on this site - it's like he was remixing art.

Contemplative is the word. I wish there were a contemplative genre on this site.

Thank you so much for the review, I will continue to contemplate that comparison into the night!

Great track! I would definitely add it to my iPod. The harp-ish instrument at 3:11 is a bit louder when it comes in which kind of pulls me out of the trance the rest of the track creates. Excellent use of overlapping textures.//Review of Update: The sound at 3:11 now flows - great job! From 3:33 on, did you change something? Maybe I'm just hearing it differently because the flow wasn't interrupted. Also, the track seems to end rather abruptly. Oh, as for genre, I'd vote chillout.

Your string work is great in this. Good chouice on bass too and your synths are real dreamy. The bass towards the end gets really good. Nice work Califken.

Good use of snyth's, good intro, work on the transition around 1:20 sounds like a whole new track was put on! Add a little more compression to help give the track more of a solid feel. I could see this track taking shape, and good use of the bass riff, gave the song a melody.

Keep Rocking

Would a good way to make that transition around 1:20 be to foreshadow a bit with that new instrument that comes in by bring it in progressively before that point? That's the only that comes to mind to make that happen. I really appreciate your input! Thanks.

I like how the synths sound like they're warping together on this track. The beat has a bit of a hip hop flavour to it, but that doesn't take away from the enjoyment. Really nice mixing! Great work!

EDIT: This sounds quite a bit different from the first time I heard it. Sounds very good. A little techno-ish.

Description : This track is the first two sections of what will (hopefully) be a three-part piece — essentially a suite. I am posting parts 1 and 2 because I think they are ready for feedback from Looperman members. Part 3 isn’t done yet because it requires Human League style vocals from a singer with a distinct British accent. I have the melody and lyrics worked out. I sent a private message a while ago to a Looperman member who I think has the right voice for the job. But, haven’t had a response. Until I find a vocalist for it, I can’t finish the piece. In any case, the total file size of the complete piece would be greater than the Looperman limit, so it will have to be split into parts anyway.

Parts 1 and 2, in fact the whole thing, were inspired by acapellas posted here on Looperman by Jacques Demers:

https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6105/love-love-love-ououou-by-jacquesdemers-130bpm-dance-acapella

https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6093/dont-keep-back-2-by-jacquesdemers-107bpm-hip-hop-acapella

https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6091/dont-keep-your-love-away-from-me-by-jacquesdemers-107bpm-hip-hop-acapella

If you haven’t checked out Jacques’ tracks yet, you really should. He doesn’t set them up as “featured” so it might be easy to miss them.

The harmony in Jacques’ acapellas sounded very “Beatle-ish” to me, and that made me want to try my hand at doing a George Martin style treatment. I remembered that ScottsCovers here on Looperman had mentioned an instrument called a Mellotron, which was used by the Beatles, the Moody Blues, Genesis, along with other groups of that era, so I decided to use a VST mellotron as the primary instrument for Parts 1 and 2.

The acapella in Part 2 was in a different key than the one used for Part 1, so I needed to find a chord progression in Part 1 that would modulate the key. Jacques gave me some advice on that, which you can see in the comments on his first acapella.

Part 1 has harp, mellotron flutes, clarinet, french horns, and my attempt at a Penny Lane type trumpet solo (but much simpler). Part 2 has a string ensemble, solo oboe and trumpet in unison, and some Daniel Langois type processed guitars. Both parts were recorded at 60 bpm, largely because that’s where the acapellas seemed to sync best. However, I played the instrument tracks freestyle (rubato), so the tempo actually varies somewhat. Definitely not quantized!

There is a storyline behind this track. Part 1 is the blooming stage of a relationship. Part 2 is about the relationship in decline. Part 3, with vocals, will be about ending it.

I’ve included the transition to Part 3 (which will be a more traditional synth pop section) and just a bit of the first verse backing instrumental so you can get an idea of how things are headed in the final part.

Description : I promise a suprise for non-members once I reach 100 plays, now they can DOWNLOAD it FOR FREE. The only condition are these three simple rules: 01. If you plan to use it somewhere, let me know and send me the link by private message. 02. You also have to put me as the composer of this song. 03. I don't want commercial use and you can use it for youtube project.

____________________

This songs is like a normal day in my life... as my brain point of view. The first part is the morning with strings, horns, clarinette and flute. It's a joyful and beautiful day ! Then, there's a sort of "bridge" between the morning part and the afternoon. Afternoon is awesome and chaotic at the same time, that's why I added dubstep in the middle of the song. Finally,the evening and the night are the second bridge and the end of this piece.

It's the first song I mix Orchestral and Dubstep.
Whole s music maker Jam with Movie Score 1/2/3 and Dubstep (i think it's Vol.2) loops.
Mix = Music Maker (Soundtrack Edition)
Final details = Music Studio

It's a Raw Mix because I really like this song and I want to make a better version ONLY with Music Maker Jam (without mix or whatever, execept for the sound quality).

Feel free to comment :)

Description : I created this track for the love I have for puppies. I love them. Everybody does. This day I went to this park nearby my colony and saw couple of them and thought of making something musically. So this is what i came up with. This time I haven't played much with FX or Technical aspects. Just pure simple & soft melodies. As it is unmixed & unfinished track, request you to boost the volume a little. Hope you all like it! Cheers! :)

Description : RAW (Studio mixing to come later)

Composed in 2015-16

All parts of the story written and inspired by a dream. A very personal story. I can't sing,so the emotions are in the notes. This is the instrumental version. The sheet music was written for a group.
The Expanse is the beginning, a journey into the unknown, a risk.

Description : First one I posted on here not too long ago when I tried this out. Would love to dabble more with this type for sure as I love the orchestral/cinematic tracks I find on here! Great loops I found by MINOR2GO that I threw together. I just added the bass drum and slight fx here and there. I would consider this cinematic as well. Thanks!
