Description : Greets all! I'm gonna throw this into Fusion, though it's my first attempt at making something Dub-like. Though admittedly I am kinda all over the map with this one. Jazzy drums and sax, electro-ish bass and leads. This track also marks another first for me- it's the first time I messed with using a public address (political). The vocals come from FDR's inaugural speech and when I threw 'em on something just fit, ya know? Somethin about the things he said seemed to hold alotta truth today. I didn't even have to really edit the last half much (either through convenience or lazyiness, shrugs). Either way, I hope yall dig this truly odd puppy I whipped up. Later on!

I like your reference to Bob Ross. You are the Bob Ross of music. Except I'm not convinced that anything you do is accidental. Maybe a tiny accident every now and then for inspiration, but your end result is always spot on.
This is another example of your extreme skills at composition and production. It also shows how all of your brain cells are firing at once :)
Oh, you'd be surprised mate. Best example I got now is how I broke away from my current pyramid style build-up/down w/fades style on my older track *Rip It. I had copied everything from the first 5 or 6 channels & had positioned them slightly down the timeline (so I wouldn't have to worry about it later). When I finally built the song up to where I had put 'em everything just seemed to fit together perfectly (and it was a pretty sweet fade-to-a-boom-backatcha way of building the song back up).
The Ross ref is something I've grown fond of due to my experience with 'Art-snobbery' in school. Everyone acting so overly serious with it sometimes (ie, never use this color with this other color). In a way, that kind of thinking leads to very stylized, even cold/mechanical works of art. And to me, that betrays the very essence of "Art" or should I say, creativity, ya know? IMO, making art should be relaxing & pleasing, a fun experience (kinda hard to do when we're being all rigid about it). In a way, 'Happy Accidents' has become my sort of mission statement (go forth and do, eventually it'll seem right). I just used it below to point out the same thing that Flynn did to Tron in 82- "There is no grand plan..." Its how I normally fly, ya know? Mmmkay, thanks for stopping by & later on!
Reminds me of boards of canada or something - one of those ambient groups. Its jazzy and funky, technically really great. I like the use of the vocal, it kinda sounds like the music is parodying the seriousness of the message and the sincerity of the words. Nice work mate!
Yeah I hear ya. I guess that's was my way of commenting on how 'history repeats itself'... All you can do is kick back, smile, and accept it (no sense of trying to ice skate uphill, ya know). Cool comparison BTW (woulda never thought of that). Glad ya dug it. Later on!
I'm now really a fan of your work and the thinking behind it. Digging this track, very good binding together of the instruments in my opinion, yet another unique feel to it. I recently read and replied to your comment about arising of inspiration and now I'm intensely curious about your way of going about it too. Your music seems very near my idea of perfection, good twitch of subtlety in here too.
I have an old sketch with a political message in it, plucked from an old film, think it's quite widely used, but you can catch my version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTwCk2OVU1M It's made at the very beginning of my interaction with sound though, but I like how it turned out even a year later - notice the dynamics in there.
To be honest I find the vocals being the least fitting instrument in your track here, yet it's not taking away anything at all. It is odd indeed, but not unpleasant. Sounds like a gateway to me, can't really get more precise than that. Very much like the vibe in here, though serenity isn't at place here, the synths are still moderated very well. Took me a few times of hearing to get the full picture of the track and it grew on me, nice one! I would probably sharpen up the dynamics in here according to the vocal, but that's my taste and probably has to do with how you built it up. Cheers man, very glad you're around, peace.
That clip is neat. The vocals remind me of that old cartoon Dangermouse for some odd reason (and I knowthat "I'm mad as hell..." line from somewhere, if you still have the clip try playin with it to where it becomes less recognizable, like I did with the "The only thing we have to fear..." line here). The drums are vaguely familiar. Kinda makes me think of early techno of like 88 or 89. The sound qual makes me think of those "Garage DJs" (something about the reverb off those walls).
As for where my head's at with mixing. I dunno man, its just in my blood I guess. An artist born from artists, ya know. And oddly, I never look for perfection. More along the lines of organized chaos (or as Bob Ross would say- "Just a bunch of happy accidents."). It isn't something alot of people like to embrace (the way our cultures are groomed from birth), but it'll generate their attention none-the-less. Like you said about the vocals here...
They're out of place, yet they fit. In fact, at times it seems that this is less of a musical piece, but more a show (with music in the background). I could possibly do some tweeking on this (to improve on the mix) and might even post a version without the speech. Though I suspect that this would still be the better. Anyways, glad ya dug it. Later on!
You got my email right? If you'd like I could send you the file I have of the speech (if you wanted to use this one... so ya aint gotta search for it online). Also, I'm glad ya dug the track. Later on!
Yeah man! This is an awesome fusion of styles! I really like the organ parts, and that bass line is really cool! Nice horns! Good use of the speech, it really fits with the music! Great work on this track!
I don't normally use horn's... Well, solo'd ones like I did in this one. Usually just use 'em for background builds, but these just sounded so nice I had to use 'em. And I think the speech worked so well because of their old 'crackly' quality. If they had been clean & crisp they probably wouldn't've worked. Glad ya dug it. Later on!
Cool deal mate. I think it's results like this that make me love Fusion and all the experimenting I do with sounds from different genres & sources. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

==============
Inspired by a track of Pseudoble. I was noodling along to his track "I wish I didn't know" (which is awesome) and had the words "Snow in Athens" in my head. This with the smooth jazz/fusion atmosphere led me to this track with a sort of Steely Dan feel.
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 : Psychedelic blues hip hop with lead banjo and acoustic resonator slide guitar. Acoustic drum kits, fat basslines, soaring filtered strings, some strong Eastern elements (from guitar and strings), some dub and funk from the bass and drums and a bit of rocking electric guitar. Very unusual piece of music and a trip like no other I've heard. Some of it is like a dark, deep Southern delta blues track over a hip hop and dub backing. All played and programmed by me, no loops used.
After a quite turbulent long travel we’ve reached a totally unknown planet which is mostly covered with clouds. As we pass over it we can see parts of rivers through the clouds that come out of the dark rocky surface in some places. So the whole scene is alternating textures of white, dark gray and silver flashes. Unfortunately there’s no chance to land anywhere so we just pass, wonder and travel on …
Description : I had to go in on this track. This is a future bass, electrofusion song. I posted the full version here full the Looperfam because you guys give me sooooo much support. I can never thank you all enough.
Description : A spoopy song, early for Halloween. This was a collaboration with Micky, who did most of the work.
A musical realization of a poem by Thomas Hardy
Idea: Spearcarrier
Voices: Spearcarrier & Micky
Music: Micky
Genre: We don't know yet. Suggestions welcome. LOL
Description : Messing around with my midi keyboard (I am no pianist as you will hear). Just a bunch ideas put together with guitar and keys. Don't miss the end :-) it shows the obvious lack of inspiration to find a decent ending of the so called musician! This track is work in progress all ideas are welcome!
This is another example of your extreme skills at composition and production. It also shows how all of your brain cells are firing at once :)
Well done.
