Description : A track I did with a friend ages ago. I play the guitar and he sang and wrote the lyrics. The lyrics came mostly from headlines in the newspaper that sunday. Recorded using a crappy old microphone direct into cubase with a few overdubs
Description : Just an acoustic/piano piece I threw together a few nights ago when coming home from university. My brother and I were doing some acoustic music together in my room, just having fun; came out with this; I immediately got on my DAW and recorded it before I forgot how ti went lol. Hoping to get some strings on it soon as well as some vocals from the bro! :P In the meantime, enjoy this instrumental.
Description : Here's a lil' acoustic instrumental I never wrote words to. Used a Guild acoustic guitar mic'd with an AKG C214 and my trusty ol' Yamaha MOX8 for other instruments (excluding shaker - that was real ;). You can find the guitar loops to this song on my profile page. Maybe one of you looperpeeps can come up with something for words on this. Otherwise, enjoy le moosic :3
Description : This is an acoustic cover of the song "Come As You Are" by David Crowder. I recorded, mixed, and mastered this one in two days! Almost done burned me out haha! Hope you enjoy!
My older brother does the lead vocals and I do everything else, from instrumentation to harmonies. No vocal-editing whatsoever in this one. The guitars were all one-take recordings. Updated the audio - I added tambourine hits in the 2nd and 3rd choruses; just helps make for a more moving song.
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Enjoy! There is a drumless version too, with completely different atmosphere : https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/181322

Description : It gives me great pleasure to upload this track I did with Richie. Usually we work "backwards", with him building a track around my vocs, but this time his instrumental came first. I love it's encouraging and motivational lyrics and as always Richie's care in making EVERYTHING perfect! :-) Totally didn't know what genre to put it in. Enjoy.
Description : NOTICE: this song is made ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. Contains an emulation of a TM legendary song (send to the original authors, i add them on Fb time ago).
This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
Description : Working on my acoustic recording quality. What do you guys think? I'll extend this once it's closer to completion.

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...
Description : This is my attempt at the one-hour challenge for LM (finished at 57 min 48 sec). I had to mix/master on the go and this was the result. Some bad chords here and there that I did my best to conceal, one-takes on guitar and piano and used an awesome acapella from a1000times, who wrote the words that Dikaiko sang over. I really like her voice. Anyhoo yea, I like this one a lot so probably gonna come back to this in the near future. Comments welcome.
I got the acapella here: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/7656/marauder-feat-dikaiko-by-a1000times-132bpm-dance-acapella
EDIT: This track has been updated. I think I'm going to call it finished :)
Description : BEAUTIFUL guitar with pianino chords. This is sad guitar. But this guitar have a positive mood.
Description : I put this under acoustic even though I did use a couple midi tracks. I felt they sounded acoustic enough to put the track in that category. Suppose it could be chill out as well, however you want to label it, do so. I used an Indian flute and an electric guitar sounding plugin with some tremolo added along with acoustic guitar, mandolin and harmonica. Nothing too complicated here and I felt it sounded good enough to upload so enjoy!
Description : This track contains only free loops from several Looperman artists. Had to thank once again the excellent loops to their owners - i think the result is one of my best tracks ever, plus have a slight spaghetti western like feeling which is cool ... Hope you will like it too. :)

Description : Remastered March 2023. Recorded live on two mics. For my wee daughter Tui; I wrote it sitting on the bathroom floor, keeping her company while she was in the bath....
what a coincidence???? theres a piano tuning add on the player!! great rendition, wonderful haunting sound
Of the half-dozen or so versions I've heard of this song, yours really delivers the haunted quality it deserves. Job well done, Prof!
Peace and love,
Spyder
This is really cool. I like this tune. I prefer the original Tears For Fears version of it, because the music doesn't really capture the mood at all, giving that keen sense of irony.
I'm impressed that you could do all this from memory. I knew it at one time, but forgot it.
It's cool to hear that you are saving up to restore that piano. If you can find the right people, it shouldn't cost you more to restore it than buy a new one, unless you have to outright replace most of the parts. I used to be an apprentice for a player piano restoration shop (Got laid off) back in 2004. I assisted with the restoration of vintage pianos and both vintage and modern player pianos, and most of the price comes from the fact that not many people do it. If you do a little research though, you'll find that it really isn't all that hard. Most of it just involves having a lot of patience. Cheers.
This extremely beautiful! You should definitely put this up on youtube and various other sites. This sounds as if ghosts from the past played the song and we, the present people, are just receiving it. I can't tell you enough how genius you are for creating this. It's almost one of those things where you go, " I should have thought of that". Amazing stuff. Highest compliments, bravo!
wow it's got a really moody eerie quaility. Resident evil Groove lol
Love it!
Very well played! The hiss almost sounds like a wind storm from an old movie, well I have had a drink,lol. It somehow fits with the sound of the piano, weird. There is some character they way it is, cool.
Wayne
Nice melody...good )
Mad world has to be one of the greatest pieces of music around, from the original, to the cover in Donnie Darko, and all the covers around I have to say that your version ranks up there at the top. I think that still slightly out of tune piano you played it on mixed with the white noise from the mic in the cam made the music sound amazing, your playing was totally dead on and I wish I could play from memory that well.
Cool interpretation Ms.Plum....one of my best friends Campbell used to specialise in playing old piano's in pubs,did it up to almost the day he died....nothings better than real ambience and this has plenty of that...the hiss on this track can be removed easily you know then it would be really cool...cheers planet
so sweet, love the recording style. it kind of has an errie feel to it. maybe its just cause i like donnie darko so much. lovely.
Thanks for your kind words on my track, right back at ya with this, I love it, and I live in an even smaller town in country Vic. Stephen
Hey prof, loved the hissy scratchy piano sound, it does sound like vintage vinyl.Reckon Tears for Fears would love it, very haunting, prob due a re-release.Anyway have fun .Peace and love Sash
Wicked sound. That fuzzy white noise gives it something prettycool.
I actually remembered the Tears for Fears song within 15 seconds of pressing play. I think your version captures the sentiments better than the original, somehow. Maybe it's the spirit of the `23 Beale? Very nice and simultaneously haunting.
actually the bad quality of the recording makes it sound even more beutiful, i like it
Piano sound is awesome! I'm a sucker for renewed vintage, etc. Props to the tuner also. If you take requests, please go back and record some more!
aww brew, this tune is beached is!!!
pretty much owned it up right there. loved it
needs a beat, but that's just me
PEACE!
Butcha d-_-b
nice! take a look at the mad world remix i did for hip hop.
Hey
love this track with what you have done with it and what you had to work with, brilliantly done, Good to see another Western Australian here :) I also are from a small country town down south called Esperance, have a couple more pub's you have there :)You up north or South??
Estefano
ya-hay!! you done it again! I used to have an old jalopy piano. you can't beat em for turning out the atmospheric stuff which is what you did here. it reminds me of those "autoplay" pianos that have a metal cylinder with holes in. kind of pre-cambrian midi. I've always liked this song, and I reckon you had a laugh putting this one together..great stuff
Love this. Terrific match of playing and production. Shout out to yr pno tuner.
the mood's brilliantly captured
somethings things are best left untouched and we love the fact that this was an off-the-floor, one-take number.
nicely haunting, like a foggy evening of inebriation
Thanks from The Guild
This very cool, the piano sound is very nice, very real sound, nice job on this.
