Had to listen to this one a second time right away! I really like the throbbing vibe of the mix, it brings the listener right inside the action! Nice vocals too, they're haunting! This is like electronic folk music or something! Too cool! Faved for sure!

Glad you got the chance to listen to this one buddy, really like how it turned out, nomad23 was kind enough to gift me the drum stem to his 'Examined life' which he intricately created...Avanacos pella just seemed to gel nicely with the whole theme,, was a privilege to be able to use such great material and turn it into something that was acceptable, thanks for yet another fave, much appreciated as you know buddy, thanks again for your listens and feedback. cheers

Was out surfing and looking up info on the Hallmark Entertainment film we watched recently, "Dreamkeeper." Found out that Iktome (Spider the Trickster) was played by Gary Farmer, who of course was Philbert Bono in "Powwow Highway." Yes indeed, Philbert and his War Pony (remember my early critiques/comments?) - Gary also played the character Nobody in "Dead Man" with Johnny Depp.

He's also got his own Blues band called Gary Farmer and the Troublemakers (he's the founder) and plays harmonica. I'm trying to find contact info, because I want to send him this track of yours. I think he'd dig it tremendously.

BTW - Coyote (in Dreamkeeper) is played by John Trudell and is another character of interest we should probably get a copy of this to.

I do so dig Transit Pow Wow. See what it continues to do?

Play 2 now...

The vocals & percussives on this song are outstanding. And I think this is a really interesting blend of rock & tribal/new age. Dunno why, but this makes me think of that trip sequence in the movie Beavis & Butt-head and kinda like what would've happened if Beavis had tripped longer, ya know? Anyways, nicely done. Lates!

Salook replied Unknown
Thanks again buddy for checking another.
agreed, the vocals and percussives are the key ingredients to this one, never thought about the rock aspect, but you are the second person to say that and listening again i hear the element for sure....thanks for the comments.. peace.

hehe my twisted mind thinks juxtaposing cold digital elements alongside.

You are really great with vocal manipulations... I just love that man.

It's odd for me.. because as an individual... I feel the context of what you are giving here... There's this spirituality about it. And I hear a lot of the talk with dub and it's spiritual roots. I get that.. that trance thru the transients on the delays and 'verbs giving the sound the largeness.

I really really respect you dubheads.. But I think when it comes to a social order in myself, there's something that screams an internal dissent. I can't explain it.

It must be something about how this track particularly has this incredible way of subduing the listener, as it has with the past few tracks I have heard.... And coming from my background, I like to reach out and just SHAKE the listener.... I really like the idea of tapping into that "spirituality".. almost shamanistic pose in the crossleg... Incense burning.

As a listener ... I had a fantastic feeling of association and disassociation with the music, and my reality.
That kinda experience hearing a piece of music goes beyond a favorite and a thank you.
Awesome stuff man.
Sorry for ranting lol

Salook replied Unknown
It's great people are getting the spiritual feel of this piece, i think myself when you hear the original Avonaco chant, he really put his spirit into it...along with n0mads drums which carried some of that spiritual aura he has over his own music...really makes the track what it is...

i was just the medium between these two spirits lol

Really though, glad you got something from the track it was a pleasure to work on. cheers.

Nice one Ark, glad you could get into this number...electrified country funk...yeah man, lets hope the wind never changed when you had your eyebrows and lips all squeezed up.lol

OK, this was pretty awesome! The organic feel, the wonderful sounds and powerful drums and percussion blew me away. You always amaze me! I liked nomad's "urbin aborigine" comment, that's a perfect way to sum it up, haha!

If you still have my email, could you send me a copy or maybe after a revision at some point, thanks in advance!

thanks.

After hearing this one stream here, I'm actually thinking a whole series of those drum loops used in remixes by various artists might be really cool. I can't believe how much they've changed, and it's got everything to do with taking ownership, doesn't it? Sweet.

This is music for the urban aborigine. TechnoShamanism for the new millennium, or maybe even the sonic schematic for how it's done. It's totally jacked into an ethno-Native American vibe, but bootstrapped into something else, and done respectfully at that. No mean task, and pulled off seamlessly.

Powerful stuff.

Great idea, it would be interesting to hear what other artists do with the drums, much diversity can be achieved i reckon.
Thanks for sharing, they are quality... and for me its what makes this track dance.
Thanks also for the uluation it fitted in there nicely.

I am surpised how easily this track fell into place in such a short time, i reckon the spirit guides were in favour of this one

Thanks for the collaboration, much fun using your material.

Cheers

Description : This track is built around the repetitive lead guitar line which I have previously incorporated as an intro for the rocker track "Sweetheart Runner" by LM user TinyFinger whom I have helped in arranging, mixing and producing his song. This extended session was a good oportunity to test some new equipment....Thanks to Tiny for not being mad about it...:)^^

Description : Now also on Apple music!! Please please check the link in my profile and give it a play! (Spotify to follow soon). And if you do that, let me know if I can repay the favour!
================

The song feels to me a bit like it could be on stage in a musical. It's a bit theatrical... I like it, but the next one might well be a rock song ;)

All instruments & vocals recorded live at home, without samples.

Description : Hello, everyone!
This one is a bit special because it's not one of my loops, it's jdmax121's loop " Dreamy ".
I loved it so much that I had to make something out of it. It will probably end up being on my upcoming EP.
If you liked it, or not, please let me know!
Have a nice day.

Description : Psychedelic Eastern cellhop progressing into a heavy and not at all hip hop ending. Lots of cool basslines and killer beats, all at 80 BPM. Cello is the main instrument and it also covers all the bass parts (no other bass instruments used). I didn't have to add any octave lowering effects to those cello basslines. A few synths, including a dark, trippy pad that gets very psychedelic and swirling when delay and distortion are added. Also a lyre to occasionally add an Eastern drone sound and an 8bit lead sine synth in one section. Drums are mixture of programmed acoustic kits and drum loops. You can really bounce to this shit while firing your guns in the air. So, do that and then come back and let me know if you enjoyed it. Criticism, praise, suggestions etc all welcome. Now get ready to bounce...

Description : Return To Forever was a group that started my love of fusion jazz and this is my attempt to cover their 1976 track, “The Romantic Warrior. I know I wore out several inceptions of this album from LP, cassette and 8 track. The original track was over 10 minutes long, so I abridged it some. Hope you like and download.
