Description : Another track from a collaboration with sax man Luke Townsend from Cape Town, also featured on last year's album called 'The Trip'. The title is Afrikaans and means 'The Flats' - it describes an area in the Karoo Desert which is endless. The piece started off as a 2 chord bass groove, which drives the main section, over which a bass melody was added. Luke then dropped in various melodic statements and we developed it with some percussion overdubs. Put together using Acid Pro and finished off using CuBase. The horns were mainly live, and the bass grooves are looped with some variation here and there. We used some drum grooves from Captain Asthma together with some drum grooves from Sony Acid that I bought.
Description : This is a rock ballad. I know I was concentrating on Ska, but this chord progression just happened, so I decided to keep adding to it. I'm glad I did. The song has a lot of heart and soul. Classic love lost lyric, with a Les paul guitar solo, followed by a soprano sax (you don't hear those in your average rock ballad). All instruments and vocals Slap, drums by sonic foundry.. All comments welcome. Cheers Slap...
Description : Here's my track for Barry's Blue Tooth competition. It's my first track on Looperman, and my second attempt on using loops and beats:).
I adjusted the tempo to 120, made some tiny changes to the chord progression, kept all drum tracks (but nudged them one beat to the left to get a different feel), kept the keyboard and the electric guitar (but chopped it up, faded it in and out and reversed bits of it). Then I added some looped guitars and some perc.
I played my midi keyboard and made a new bass line, strings and some other stuff. Then I wrote lyrics, inspired by a trip to Istanbul in Turkey in March. If I had more time I probably would have made the song a little longer;).
Thanks to Barry for an inspiring competition and to everone whose loops and beats I've used!

Description : Some samples put together in Acid. Main backing track is a couple of Sonic Foundry FX guitars cut together to make a repeating figure in A with some atonal filigree. Very standard chord progs. Mostly acoustic instrument loops. Maybe some elves. Please, someone tell me what genre this is.
Description : Used a nice 65 beat loop from this site and put a two chord structure to it (Dm and G). When we are going through major changes, I wanted to put across the sometimes tedious repetition of life as we get to where we want to be...T.R.A.N.S.I.T.I.O.N.
Description : Acoustic electric guitar tracking over a drum vamp. Finger picking chord progression. Add lamenting lead, Mix to taste, let simmer, serve slightly chilled.
Description : I've made many tracks named Gabriel. Named for the archangel. This is a current fave right now. It is shortened and fades out because nothing else was added to it in some time. Sounds used in this song: reversed and echoed Arab phrase, D chord chopped up and delayed/ping ponged, and glitched sample of Robert J. Oppenheimer quoting the Bhagavad Gita. Sequenced in Reason, cleaned up with Ozone3.
Description : My First upload--A Great Site- Got the ideal watching a ole movie- and came up with this 3 chord progression of Me Willie and T-bone sitting on the front porch dueling guitars while the ladies are in side cooking. With my fingers hitting 60yrs this year -did this number with just loops. Hope you enjoy as much as Me-Willie and T-Bone did.
Ahhhh!! I can smell that fried chicken coming thru the screen door as we sit here on "The Front Porch"
Description : A very trance song, i sat down and thought... im going to make a trance song. so this popped out, plenty of synths very neat chord progressions. tell me what yo think
Description : Dem 2 acoustic guitars again. A sort of folky/blues idea based on a descending arpeggio on the Em chord + added lead jam along. Kept it in the unplugged style as I could easily overcook it adding too much percussion/backing. ..if any of you guys have an idea to put to this track then feel free to add and let me know.
Description : here's my atempt at music for an independant film. guitars layered over a harmonic chord
Description : 2 electro-acoustic guitars and a tune built around one ambient chord that I found when practicing one day...oh and I added a few more chords as well as the lead part
Description : A bit on the happy side. Fmaj chord progression for the chorus and solo. Really cool odd meter verse
Description : Decades ago during my military service my comrade and I was paddling in a kayak towards an island far away. It was dusk, nearly dark, and weather wasn't so warm but there was no breeze so that moist fog kept gathering all over us. Suddenly from the fog appeared a great passenger ship heading towards Stockholm. They didn't notice us though the ship passed by quite near. I imagined that onboard there were couples in tuxedos and dressing gowns dancing and a band was playing nice music (standard jazz chord progression II-V-I) not knowing that there were two poor bastards on theopen, cold and foggy sea. Probably the reality was quite different. There were no nice music , not to speak about nice and stylish couples with tuxedos and dressing gowns, but drunken ordinary people with their saggy pants and other tasteless garments dancing according to a monotonous beat that some unnamed band was producing..."Hey, wake up, dude, away from this ship route now!
Description : Moby - Chord Sounds remake by PSYCHO. all sounds are from FL Studio default VST's. 2 loops from Looperman.
Description : This track fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle...Using samples from PowerFX Electroclashmatic, I decided to go the whole hog and create my first homage to Rick Wakeman. Acid Pro 6 was used for the entire tune as my synth is poorly at the mo :( So all the chord changes were done using the + and - keys!!
Description : This is short piece I made for a FL Studio forum contest, it's a song based on a simple ascending chord progression. The lyrics is a poem by DeLaMancha, the host of this particular contest
Description : new arrange of "Short Analog Interlude(Co 1991)",iv used the same chord progression as in the original track but with a lot more instrumentation and much better sound quality,also added 2 more themes and the experience and knowledge of the last 17 years since the 1st recording Co 2008 by Psychotropic Circle
Description : Little acoustic thing I do as brackground music sometimes. Didn't know what to do so just threw in some chord changs in the middle. Title is part sounds to me like a light rain and capo up high gives it a harp sound kinda.
Description : Thought I had my first loop. Will have to shorten eventually.
Practice to get better at this. Did on keyboard. Not really a keyboard player though. Same chord progression as "Stand By Me"
Description : Another mental travelogue for you to digest your daily grind with.
A bunch of wandering here and there, and no, I don't write this stuff when I'm high. I'm already a little bit on the edge. Hope this strikes some chord deep within you. Or am I asking too mcuh?
Description : put together some sample loops of flute, some percussive loops and various sounds, recorded a basic chord prog with a rhodes type sound then used digidesign strike for an acoustic drum track and jammed on fretless over it.
Description : "Remastered" with a couple more bassline chord changes to run with the leads!
Imagine 10,000 people at stonehenge, the stroke of midnight, the lasers pan across the crowd, and this tune begins to play....!!
Ok, so I can dream can't I!! This is the Final Cut of this track. After I uploaded it the other day as I said I felt it wasn't quite right...However, this one is the bollocks!!! (Meaning I'm chuffed with it!) It's not that different from the earlier version, but I feel it's now a complete entity...if you know what i mean..I have changed the bass at the end and messed around with the levels a bit...I hope you enjoy it...I am proud of this one!.
