Description : I would call this bull fighting music, rock is the closest thing for genre. I used a handful of percussion loops made by planetjazzbass and a special thanks to Thethanx for the custom harmonica tracks, thanks guys!! I added a few cymbal hits, tambourine and a vibraslap to a couple acoustic tracks and a bass track.

Well call me a big ignoramus but i don't know what a toreador is. Souns like something that you might get served along side a taco or something. I'm guessing i'm in the right area as it does have an air of "Desperado" (brilliant movie with Antonio Banderes)
Everything has gelled together niceley unlike the hole in the wall i just made attempting to do some D.I.Y.
Really like the vibe of this piece, are you using metal buckets for the persussion? It's very inventive.
I'm glad i dropped in for this as it's a great style and i think you should do more like this.

Toreador is a bull fighter. I coped the title from Herp Albert's song The Lonely Bull. This is from the other vantage point, lol.

I used some of planetjazzbass's loops, that is the metal buckets you hear. The percussion loops inspired the song.

Thanks, I like doing this kind of music.

Wayne...agree with Evan, this is soundtrack music from the first class...I imagine an American-Spanish-Mexican cooperation with Tarantino, of course...fantastic atmosphere flying around this small 3 minutes...

Awesome track, was good to listen it, Danke

ok, that description works for me!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Evisma 2nd Dec 2013 03:05 - 12 years ago

This very much sounds like it came from Desperado, or Once Upon A Time In Mexico. The whole thing is great, but I like the intro the most. The sounds of preparation, always a nice addition.

Evan

theHumps replied 3rd Dec 2013 - 12 years ago

I write a lot of western/latin sounding songs and this one is just like you described it. That intro blew me away when I was putting it together. Then I asked myself, "where do I go from here?" lol

I appreciate that you stopped by. Thanks Evan!

goosemeyer 12th Mar 2011 21:52 - 15 years ago

wow,Wayne, talk about painting a picture. This has such a great cinematic feel. Brings me back to those great Sergio Leone's films with Clint Eastwood. The mix was the best use of my speakers today, this track is mixed to wrap right around your head.
The only thing that would improve this is if the smell of Gunsmoke, leather, Whiskey and Cigars started to come out of my monitors.

Faved!!

(p.s. thanks for catching my slip-up the other day and saving me even more embarrassment)

Good looking out!

Thanks man, ya I know it's not rock but I just had to call it something. ha Appreciate the review and fav!

DaddyLongLegs 18th Dec 2010 21:42 - 15 years ago

Awesome awesome awesome! Definitely a bullfighting or cowboy riding through an open desert at dusk song. You did a great job arranging the percussion loops and beautiful guitar and bass playing. The harmonica adds to it perfectly and overall a moving piece.

theHumps replied Unknown

I like your awesome review! Thanks, I agree, everything just works together, the loops and harmonica were great!! Thanks to the talented people here making them too!

Wayne

Spivkurl 17th Dec 2010 20:54 - 15 years ago

Had to hear this one twice! Love the intro! Your guitar and bass work is fantastic, as usual! Good to hear TheThanx's harmonica in there, it fits right in! Those percussion loops are awesome, they work perfectly for this style! Totally awesome intense song! Faved for sure!

theHumps replied Unknown

Spiiiiiiv!!!!!

Thanks for checking this out. All the loops were great, I chopped and edited some to get them to fit where I needed them but they were exactly what I was looking for.

JohnBoutilier 15th Dec 2010 04:21 - 15 years ago

Wow and then some. Love the atmosphere on this piece. Production and arrangement are flawless.

Faved and downloaded

John

theHumps replied Unknown

Thanks John! My mixing is getting better so my mastering is easier, the result is better sounding productions I guess. Planet's loops were great, they really set the tone I think.

Hey John, thanks for the nice words, I'll swing by soon and listen to more of your great music!

Happy holidays!(i like your avater, now that's what I want to find under the tree!)heehee

I don't know how I missed this track earlier, but this is great. Everything flows together nicely and really tells a story/sets a scene, which is very powerful in my opinion. Good job with this one.

theHumps replied Unknown

Thanks Kyle, glad you liked it!

Anomelie 9th Dec 2010 03:09 - 15 years ago

As a Taurus, I find this track completely offensive!! And you better watch out, I'll gore you with my horns!! haha, just kidding, Wayne. I am glad that after my long absence I can come here and listen to new tracks from you. Hopefully I will stick around this time. As for this track: you have a serious talent for arrangement. You really know what works together and what doesn't. Keep it up!

theHumps replied Unknown

You are personally invited anytime to listen to my music. I hope you stay healthy enough to be here a long time, just stay off those scooters!!;)

horns, ok, I'll leave that one alone...haha.

Thanks so much, you are great, look at all the reviews you just gave me. Thanks for the nice words.

Talk to ya later,

Wayne

ShortBusMusic 7th Dec 2010 23:53 - 15 years ago

This reminds me of my youth in Wyoming, when it was legal to drink at the ripe old age of 18, and some of the nights I spent in the Silver Spur Bar. Man, what a nasty place that was, but the beer was cold and cheap, and that was all that counted.

The place was full of cowboys all the time, smoking Pall Malls, reeking of horses. Deep lines etched in their faces as they stared into their drinks. These were real tough guys that would just as soon kick your you know what as look at you, hahaha. I miss those times.

Thanks for bringing back my youth, if only for 2 minutes and 53 seconds. A masterful job.

theHumps replied Unknown

I love when music takes you back to a certain period in your life, certain songs do that for me too. I can't hear Jose Feliciano's version of Light My Fire without it bringing me back to a child of about 4 y.o., sitting in the backseat of the car waiting to pick up my Dad from work.funny.

Thanks for stopping by,

Wayne

ALXSIX 6th Dec 2010 11:42 - 15 years ago

Great composition! I can feel the western/mexican fevers for sure! Really well built up, between the tension and suspense while the torero and the bull are fixating each other, considering their next move, and the confrontation itself when the beast is charging...
Great track!

theHumps replied Unknown

Hey thanks for stopping by and a nice review. You get the whole idea of what I was after here!

Wayne

Vicen 6th Dec 2010 09:22 - 15 years ago

Wonderful composition, Wayne. El Torero about to enter the ring. Just before his ghosts and after praying to the Virgin de la Macarena. In the square, waiting for a morlaco of 500 kilos of Valdeamor livestock. Great ...

theHumps replied Unknown

Hey Vicen, thanks for stopping by and leaving a review!! Nice description!!

Cheers!

JWilson 4th Dec 2010 21:26 - 15 years ago

Planetjazzbass 4th Dec 2010 02:45 - 15 years ago

Hey Wayne..man this is so south of the border it tastes of salt and lemon!it might be worth pointing out before I go any further that "The Western" demographic is hard wired into my brain,has been since I was a kid.....love the whole motif running through this,it's traditional Sergio Leone in some aspects but also has a contemporary darker crossover hovering around the periphery..Thanx's harp fits in very well and the guitar is straight from the cantina!great bass as well!.....I also like the space within the piece,lending the listener ample scope to experience the whole soundscape..great work.Love it!..cheers Dave :)

theHumps replied Unknown

I know what you mean, I'v always love the music in western movies, especially in Sergio Leone's. Appreciate the loops, they were fantastic and really are a big part of setting the mood and impact when they kick in so thanks a heap!!

Wayne

DeadPixel 4th Dec 2010 02:25 - 15 years ago

Wow, first of, I'd like to say I love the atmosphere thats going on in this track, I love the percussion, this has a latin feel, yet also a western feel to it. This is an amazing track, sounds like it could be used for a movie! Thanks for uploading this, I'm definitely faving this one.

theHumps replied Unknown

Thanks DP! I agree western/latin, prob my fav type of music to do these days. Glad you liked the track!

Wayne

Thethanx 4th Dec 2010 01:34 - 15 years ago

Wow Humps, way to turn my sloppy recorded nonsense something sweet! I'm impressed at how good you make me sound! I LOVE pjb's percussion... I might have to check out that loop. Very cool western theme. This is the kind of track I'd love to hear live. fav from me as well.

theHumps replied Unknown

Thanks so much for finding the time to put the tracks together. They were great, did very little ouside of some chopping and fitting the parts. Perfect volume too, give yourself some credit!!

Glad you liked it, appreciate the help!

Kikajon 3rd Dec 2010 23:48 - 15 years ago

G'day Wayne

Man so love the intro here, epic, sure does have a Spanish feel to this one, mate so in awe of your tunes, early morning here this is just the tonic to get me moving to go to work, love the percussion/tamberine, very good fx, as always great guitar, this is one magic piece, only thing I reckon a couple OLE'S through track would suit it so well...Massive fav this one my friend...Peace n Respect...Estefano...

theHumps replied Unknown

Hey thanks Estefano! You know I was thinking of putting in a few Ole's but held off not knowing if it was too much. Maybe I will go back and add a few!!haha

Take care my friend,

Wayne

MStokes 3rd Dec 2010 21:30 - 15 years ago

Hemingway and Morricone having a deadly grappa-drinking contest in the heat, sneaking shots to the bull under the table. Death in the afternoon, rugged and dusty as only theHumps could deliver. They'll be looking for you, all three. Leave town now, Wayne. Don't be a hero. Take off the red sombrero at least. Ah, it's no good even trying to make sense to you.

theHumps replied Unknown

You are something else, haha!! How did they get the bull under the table?

Death in the afternoon is also a great song by Havana 3 am, Paul Siminon's band after the Clash broke up. That is a bull fighting song too.

Thanks Michael, appreciate you stopping by!

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
