Listen To When The Weasels Electronic Song By Zed At Looperman.com

7th May 2010 02:15 - 15 years ago
Description : a wacky surreal rant populated by a whole menagerie of bogus beasties set to a very syncopated funky breaks track. the lyrics came out of personal experiences, "when the weasels (come out of the wall)" refers to those times in life when the false friends & secret enemies make their move or are uncovered on a political level. it is sort of like a slapstick cartoon in that the protagonist seems to stumble thru to victory. the track started with a lucky break, sampling an electric spark that was a perfect E natural so i put together that rhythmic figure you hear @ the beginning in 7/8 with 2 sparks in counterpoint an octave apart. the rest of the track kind of flowed out of that, those same rhythms are picked up on other instruments. i was also influenced by ravel's "bolero" which is why i used that particular scale that also gives the song its flavor.

yeah, the worms were selling bogus dogfood there but got evicted by the mockingbirds, who own the real estate.

you make a very important point that i am dealing with now as i finish the album this is on & talk to the netlabel about who to market it to: what kind of music is this? the fact that you think it is more alternative is very good info, thanks.

Hey MrZed...very cool indeed!..great continuity happening here,there's an excellent balance between your voice (thank God no autotune!)and the modulation within the music,which is upbeat and catchy..not to draw comparisons but it sounds like Frank Zappa joined Fireside Theatre..a cool combo Imo....the mix is very good as well..you've obviously been round the musical block a few times and are completely at ease with your creativity....super work!..cheers planet

very perceptive to mention firesign theatre, pioneers of surreal humor, a big influence. i don't mind being compared to zappa either, he is respected even among classical composers. both are from LA of course. you are hip to where i am coming from my friend & that is why your review is so satisfying. i communicated, yay!

hey wayne, glad you find it worth a little disk space. the experiences that inspired the song were not pleasant although everything came out ok, so i guess the point is that with creativity & a sense of fun you can turn negative stuff around & make it into something positive. laughing @ the weasels means i don't have to be angry & bitter.

Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.
