Very amazing song! I can't believe that there have been no comments on this. I'm happy that I broke down and did a keyword search of my own name, because I've found some gems today! Super chill song, and pleasing at this difficult moment. Thank you for sharing this one. I hope that you are well! Thank you for the download! Fave!
Very glad to hear that you are back at it. I totally understand life sometimes getting in the way of making music. Happens to me all the time! But, music always pulls me back it seems. Can be frustrating, but very therapeutic. Somebody, don't remember who, said that music is a medium where you can tell how the artist/composer was feeling at the time the piece was created. No so sure that applies to a lot of EDM, but it is basically true I think. :)
This might be my favourite. Really, really nice vocals. You have a good ear for melody and your delivery is very expressive. Have you left Looperman for good? Gone to another site? Your tracks a really very good. I hope you haven't stopped making music. That would be a shame.
Hello and thank you! No I haven't left looperman. I've been kind of in a funk for a bit but I have been working on something new the last week, testing the waters again. Might take a while ha, but thank you again. I appreciate it.
Charlene: Just discovered your tracks. Don't know how I managed to miss them for all these years. This is a great track. I've listened to most of yours tonight and you really do have a good sense of how to put stuff together. But, most of all, I like your vocals. You can really sing! I think it is unfortunate that you seem to have drifted away from Looperman. There are so few really good vocalists here. You would be in great demand for collaborations I think.
Hello again :) I wouldn't mind colabs but I always steared away from that because really I don't have the proper equipment and I really don't know what I'm doing I just throw things together and post them on here for the most part. I did drift away for a bit but it's been a rough year but as I mentioned in the last comment I'm getting back into it :)
This is very subdued, and your nearly always sad lyrics and delivery are in fine form. Strings are very effective for making that one loop not get too tired. Light percussion around 4:00 is very nice. Can't fault it, though I'd like to hear you get a hold of acoustic loop packs with several different guitar lines recorded in the same session, meant to all work together.
Ugh. This is so beautiful. I was sifting through my old loops and came across this gem again. Your voice is so haunting and soothing at the same time. Beautiful work. This suits your voice perfect.
Wow, this track was quite airy. I personally like how some things are a little off-sync. Creates a unique musical picture in my head. Dang, you're getting really good at this loop-combination stuff :D My favorite part was 1:07. I LOVE that sound. Very relaxing to my ears. Great stuff, Charlene! Keep it up,
Very nice, I like your vocals a lot. As Modnex said, drums/percussion would be nice. I really think your voice track deserves real instruments - nothing against loops but sometimes... If you want to know how to maybe do that send me a PM. Cheers, TG
Hey Cestevens, its been a while since I listened to some of your tracks. Very nice work as always. Your vocals are nice and soft and fits the loop perfectly. The only thing I would have done differently is add some light filtered drums in the background, as the track progressed. But, that's just taste.
Crap, I came across this one through another loop of mine. Ugh, I love your voice. Do you ever plan on investing in a recording microphone? You have a killer voice, and I'd love to see if we could do something together.
Big congrats on this as it's really enjoyable. You've got lots of vocal talent and I think you're getting better. The vocals are kind of subtle and I think I'd prefer them turned up above the music in places.
2:20 that's a really good vocal note. 2:25 good held note.
2:33 harmony on the vocal. Or some delay. Nice, anyway.
Overall: a really good vocal performance but the music could certainly be expanded and this turned into a better track. When the drums enter, the lack of bass after that is a problem. And the drums are way, way too simplistic and lacking in groove. That very straight, repetitive hi hat gets a bit annoying.
Really enjoyed this one Cestevens..nice clean wide mix on the acoustic...just right drums..like danke I did miss the bass but its so good otherwise that doesn`t matter...your vocal is the star....great job...Ed
Everything connecting on a very cool way to each other...those guitars are magical from Brado and your voice is not much to say...outstanding...
Though I very much miss some bass play to strenghten to deep section...:-)
Wow, Cestevens. Your vocals always breathe new and original life into my music. It's people like you that make uploading my instrumentals so worth it. Your voice is so haunting and captivating. Earned a fav from me. I can just feel the emotion emitting from your voice and your harmonies! Beautiful work, truly a piece of art. Keep doing what you do, because I love it.
