Hi mate..thanks for the cool review!...while I have on occasion used freesound.com in the past this particular field recording is actually part of a Vst instrument..XTreme Effects...I use this now exclusively for most of my sound effects as you have complete control over the sounds and it comes with a whopping 4.5GB expandable library...cheers planet :)
Hey mate...thanks!..I pretty much use Spectrasonics Stylus RMX for all my beats now,it's a great rhythm Vst and has the facility to program beats in just about any time signature..I love it..cheers Dave :)
So going for a more Classical approach these days I see (lol). My god man, this is perhaps the most original and provocative thing I've heard in the last year (perhaps more).
Heavy Ethnic? Hybrid MetaJazz?
You haven't rattled the cages of genre here, you've undermined the foundations. Amazing.
Not often you'll find me at an utter loss for words, but at this moment language is totally failing. I'll be back with a post-script here, as the attempt will have to be made. I am totally blown away.
Thanks Sean..maybe this could be classed as Subcontinent Groove! lol..if my favourite category were listed,as in "Jazz Rock"..everything I do would be filed under that banner...for some weird reason and not through any reticence on my part..all my entreaties to have this genre included have been ignored! lol..there is Jazz there is Rock...there's a world of difference in Jazz Rock...hahaha it's my pet annoyance in the genre lists...cheers mate Dave :)
Really cool, you really don't need a twelve string bass.
I got so into it I struck up a freindship with one of the geese.
kudos dude, another brilliant track.
Hey thanks man..yep I wouldn't even attempt to pick up a twelve string bass...a 12 string guitar is another matter..I love those!..cheers mate planet :)
You created exactly what I like and what I try to create a long time but still with imperfect results..
It reminds me your Chipped Bhudda in "chill" sounds..you are master man..but that everyone knows:-)

Not what I was expecting at all, this has a very unique sound to it. I think what really sets this track apart from being a common track is the violin/viola?, the sounds that come from it are very original. Did you play the instrument/vst, or was it a loop/sound sample already created. Anyway, great track, really enjoyed it, thanks for uploading!!!
Hi mate..thank you,all the ethnic parts(violin..no reverb very dry) are played using Best Service 'Orient World' vst (some of the phrases are looped) ...similarly the main synth sound is a lead patch out of Native Instruments Pro53 routed through Absynth 5's effect chain and Wizooverb...these days you can get just about any sound you want..obviously the ambient water fowl backdrop is a field recording..however that also comes from a vst.'ExTreme FX' so I have complete control over the sound envelope..I love this digital age..cheers :)
I simply love your music Dave!!!
every time I listen to one of your tracks you take me on a journey through your mind, I can't imagine something more personal than that ...
awesome!!!
Thank you Rei...it's inevitable that when you play you impart something of yourself within it....and when someone listens hopefully it comes across....In these days of mistrust and doubt it's great to be able to communicate with a medium that is so expressive and truthful...it's doubly pleasing when you find people that can listen and get on the same wavelength like yourself..cheers mate. Dave :)
Hey Dave. What a fantastic soundscape. A cornacopoeia of tribal tones in a groove that is infectious. I can evision just by listening the actual views of the river, it's landscape around it. This is definately up there with "Magic Carpet" as one of my favorite tracks of yours. The bass playing is superb as always and blends with the other instruments and loops in an execellent arrangement and production. Bravo bro and congrats ! - Bilbozo
Hey Buddy...thanks man..I think this track is heralding me sliding into a more rock orientated sound for awhile (it's probably due in part to listening to your music! lol)...I hadn't put much guitar in my tracks lately..but you know how it is(none better) when you sling on a six string..you awake the rock genie!..cheers man Dave :)
A miracle of influences in this track.
masterwork of your FEELINGS.
your ART IS Planetjazzbass, and Planetjazzbass is your ART.
I ENJOY YOUR ART....... no..... I LOVE YOUR ART
Hey MrZ..you are way too kind!..I really appreciate the words coming from a multi instrumentalist like yourself....it's in our nature I guess..what else would we do! lol..cheers mate Dave :)
This is a nice piece, a very well put together piece. I want to get in my kayak now and paddle up the crazy Euphrates, lol. Nice production, interesting sounds make a nice soundscape, just close your eyes and take the trip!!
Hey Sien great to see you back!..always nice to get a listen from the Loop's resident tech guru and audio muse...I heard that collab you did with Abe...fantastic stuff!...appreciate the listen..cheers mate :)
Super track! It really does convey the feeling of a river journey heading for the persian gulf. Great use of North African rhythms and acapella's and the sonic pastiche including geese
(a group who have previously been under-represented in modern music) is a stroke of genius. Superb!!!
Thanks mate!...yeah the water fowl of the world need their own management agency for sure! ..I've always loved the sound of birds no matter what specie, using it in music I find adds that amorphous naturalness sometimes..but is pop music ready for it! lol..cheers Dave :)
this is frickin awesome! Love love love the drums - and love the interplay between the guitar and strings - and it IS fusiony!! Great work here!!! And love the breakdown dynamix - could go on and on and I'd still be plugged in!!
Hehe..thanks man!..I had to pull it up at the end and I agree,I could have gone on much longer..but I suppose the track length constraints do serve a purpose and keep things manageable..much appreciate your kind review..cheers planet :)
This track it crazy. That Jaco Pastorious bass feel is ridiculous. This track amazes me an put me in a place of unlimited tranquil stability. Wow. What? When?... I am literally speechless on this track. This track forces me to take it to another level. Beautifully done. Oh yeah, this is my favorite now, hahaha. Can't wait to hear more.
Hey man..thanks for a great review...I was looking for a laid back vibe on this track,which probably means the next one will be more up-tempo.!lol..cheers mate planet :)
Hi planet, it's been a long time. I was gone for a very long time. It's nice to be back and I'm glad to see you are still here.
Re the track: I liked this track because I felt the ease and the relaxation in it, something I need ever more of, and something that seems ever more difficult to find.
Production id great, transitions are great, instrumentation is great.
Hey man..Long time no see!..good to see you back in the fold....I thought I spied your presence once or twice...the place has changed a little bit ..but then it really hasn't with a lot of the old crew back on board..great to have people that can actually spell!lol...cheers mate Dave :)
Lol,... The animal noises are different but it fits. What is that? A rabid mutant squirrel or something? Crazy track. Sorta all over the place but it seems to work. Im a way it reminds me of Primus. Being a bass player im sure you know how Primus is or at least Les Claypool. If not check them out.
Crazy change up! Just hit the change up mark. (reveiwing as I listen) I really like the change up. Very "Jam Band" -ish. You ripping the guitar in there?
Hey Conan..that's a Kookaburra,one of our native birds..it's actually the biggest member of the 'Kingfisher' family ..their insane characters,if two different groups square off..nobody can hear anything else for miles,I've seen them eating snakes!amongst other things...Yeah that's me on guitars..I always play all my own instruments (apart from collabs obviously)..I'll be doing some more guitar orientated tracks soon...yeah Les is a cool mover,I don't mind Primus at all,they seemed to have gone right off the radar these days..but then everyone does I suppose...cheers mate
