this is great. I have set loads of poems and short stories to music. and I would love to do a remix of this. love this track great work.

ShortBusMusic 15th Dec 2011 03:16 - 14 years ago

Dave,

This is simply brilliant. I love the innocence of the vocals and your respectful treatment of them. This is wonderful from start to finish. It brought back memories of when my daughters were that age.

Thanks for that.

And thanks to your niece as well.

great song once again.

JohnBoutilier 30th Dec 2010 20:13 - 15 years ago

Wow, this is quite the track. Vanessa's voice is perfect over what is a great exemplar of a mystical backing track.

Awesome job you two.

Hey John thanks for the New Year cheers buddy :)..I was just looking at some video of a skiing trip my sister is on with her family from Steamboat Springs,and it makes me happy..hopefully I'll get to travel over to the States and see them soon...all the best for the coming year my friend. Dave

Soligen 9th Sep 2010 11:58 - 15 years ago

Easily the best song on Looperman, amazing production, cute voice, reminds me of the Final Fantasy: Advent Children Movie, during a scene where a little girl speaks about the Life Stream, or the worlds Life Stream, definitely if you haven't looked at it you should, if she makes any more music will you be uploading it? I' be very grateful to hear it from here.
Truly amazing, well done to her and you, seems like music is in the family eh? :)

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Hehe..I don't know about that..thank you very much for the wonderful review (sorry for my late reply!) I 'd love to make more tracks with Vanessa only trouble is she lives in Florida and I'm here in Oz! lol(sister visited)..cheers planet :)

bmw2000uk 8th Sep 2010 02:52 - 15 years ago

wow, thats a cool concept you have on this one, i will have to play this for my daughter and see what she thinks. Very imaginative piece.

Good one.

Peace...

danbo 7th Aug 2010 13:54 - 15 years ago

What do you want I write, it's so...genious.
Introducing your niece's voice is original and brings some nice atmosphere. Nice piece !

Nosleeves 11th Jul 2010 18:37 - 15 years ago

Hey i wanted to say ur songs gave me inspration,as a screenwriter i decided to get rid of my no-sleeves ego and become who u see today.

this track is a perfect example of what can happen when unite cinamatic energy with music(altough this is a spoken word track)

so cheers to u planet maybe we can work on a ambient track together someday.

PEACE LOVE AND SCREENPLAYS FOREVER

BrianMaiden407 27th Jun 2010 05:42 - 15 years ago

Planet

man this is out of this world, first listen I was having breaks in the track, but thought would give it another go, must have been the internet playing up, wow mate this is eerie but so great listening in the same time, your niece has a brilliant voice for this type of track and can see her having a future in spoken word for sure, sensational track matey, bye the way great to see another fellow Aussie here, even if he is living in Melb lol seriously great track, thank you for you and your niece for sharing your talents, fav'd...Peace Planet...Estefano....

siensystem 30th Jan 2010 02:27 - 16 years ago

Very nice indeed Planet. Your nieces' voice sounds perfect with the also perfect warm tones of the guitar and strings/pads. And I agree with nonesensesystem's last comment :) keep up the great work.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Cool!...I like having a creative relationship with my nieces and they like it too..they can be themselves and express their ideas openly without criticism....only trouble is they live in the states!so I don't get to see them as much as I would like..cheers mate...planet :)

oasisduke 18th Jan 2010 13:04 - 16 years ago

the ebb and flow of this piece is mesmorizing...it almost immediately takes you out into the middle of the sea, to bobwith the waves in a tiny vessel. its only the certainty of her voice that reassures you you wont capsize...
this is such a neat piece. the production value is out of this world. ive never heard levels so beautifully balanced. kudos to both of you. cant wait to hear more of your work!

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Thank you very much....after a bit of thinking about how to handle Vanessa's voice I decided on a very minimalist approach....all the nuance and expression in her voice and the simple but beautiful imagery she encapsulated didn't need much improvisation from me....it's such a shame that we all have to grow up and in many ways leave those innocent visions behind..cheers planet

nonsensesystem 2nd Jan 2010 12:03 - 16 years ago

did you upload any of these vocals raw? it would be kinda refreshing to work with stuff like this instead of lil thugs that have cheap mic recordings of how much weed they smoke

nonsensesystem 2nd Jan 2010 11:59 - 16 years ago

all from an 11yr old? oh man tell her to keep it up! she will be perfecting epic audio landscapes in no time. this is trippy in such a great way

theHumps 16th Nov 2009 11:08 - 16 years ago

Aaaahhhh! From the mouths of babes.

What an interestingly sweet composition. Vanessa did a great job, very articulate and well spoken. Nicely put together.

TraXnCtrl 25th Sep 2009 11:58 - 16 years ago

Vanessa is blessed within the planet gene pool.....great synergy between her voice and your music.....I hear there is going to be hail in Melb for tomorrows AFL final :(
Great work

jfw 6th Sep 2009 18:15 - 16 years ago

A truly gorgeous piece of work. Lovely jaco-esque harmonics and ambient backdrops remeniscent of Steve Hillage's work on "Green", a rare treat and definately one for the favorites list - well done.

Rockym778 5th Sep 2009 20:05 - 16 years ago

very inspiring track, call me impressed, i have been trying forever and a day to get my kids involved in this but they have no interest... love the track,,, great job...

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Hey thanks man....I hope you get your children to do something..I love hearing kids ideas ,their so open and unbiased...cheers mate planet :)

Reverse1984 5th Sep 2009 05:55 - 16 years ago

Very relaxing track...yet kinda haunting at the same time. Very beautiful piece of work. I would say I'm impressed, but I've pretty much come to expect greatness from you. Well done!

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Aaahh..thanks MrR...flattery will get you everywhere! lol..seriously,I'm glad you enjoyed the track..cheers planet :)

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Hey thanks so much for the kind review..and yes I always return the courtesy..cheers FallenA planet :)

BigPete 27th Aug 2009 23:49 - 16 years ago

Man so touching and beautiful, and there is a lot of jammin happening behing but never too much, very respectful mix of music and word, you had me when you did your first hatmonics and then the angel voice of your daughter, great human piece of art, for the memorie of mankind. Peace Love and Freedom sir.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Thank you Pete..my niece Vanessa will be so happy that you like it...she's very outgoing and positive..I literally had to drag the microphone off her! lol...thank you again for the kind words..much appreciated ..cheers planet :)

JesseFick 27th Aug 2009 22:16 - 16 years ago

nicely done! your niece definatley should pursue spoken word. the piece is very relaxing and intellectual, something i would expect from someone twice her age. nice instrumental also, very original and fits the piece well. Good work to both of you, can't wait to hear more!

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Thank you...Vanessa will love to hear that. lol ..when I put her in front of the microphone..she asked "what do you want me to say"....I just said describe whatever comes into your head that you can see.....cheers mate planet :)

Spivkurl 27th Aug 2009 17:15 - 16 years ago

This is an inspiring piece! I've been wanting to do some spoken word lately too, so it's good to hear something like this. This track definitely feels like childlike wonder. Great work! Thanks for sharing!

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Thanks man....I had an idea of doing this quite awhile back and when my sister visited from stateside with her family...the girls were wrapped to get involved..there's a few more in the works at the moment....cheers planet :)

n0mad23 27th Aug 2009 06:52 - 16 years ago

From the mouths of babe, aye? My youngest is about to turn 11, and I love watching her imagination at play.

Vanessa has some lines here that are so poetic, I had to backtrack and hear them immediately again. Glad you're obviously fostering the creativity in the family youth.

How subversive.

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Hey Sean..I've never experienced the joys of Fatherhood..but I love being an uncle...sort of lets me in on the ground floor with my various nieces and nephews and they dig it that I treat them as equals intellectually and creatively..hehe all the fun and none of the responsibility...but then that's me.lol cheers mate Dave :)

alividlife 27th Aug 2009 05:32 - 16 years ago

ahh

I wrote a long review but I think my computer is going haywire!

sigh

Give Vanessa a hug.

This was haunting, peculiar, mythological, dreamy and amazing.

Amazing work.
Amazing.
Love your style
and
apparently your kin's style too
lol

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Hey Abe..cool..I just love the way children can be so totally spontaneous and emotive given half the chance...Such a change when I was a kid where children were to be seen and not heard...I think kids,every kid should have the opportunity to become involved musically from a young age...couldn't hurt. thanks mate cheers Dave :)
