wow...this one goes back a long ways...I don`t know when it originated but I recall hearing it in my youth (just after the last ice age...haha)...very nicely done Alex (as always) and salute to you for taking this one on........great job...Ed
Thank you Ed! I found this song few years ago - it was an old calssic version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJkxFhFRFDA but didn't plan playing any latin piano music then. I always liked that song and the latin grooves. This tune is probably one of the most famous bossa jazz songs, beside of 'Corcovado' 'Aqua de Beber' 'One note samba' and others which I want to learn as well.
I will be recording more jazz standards and want to develop the stylistical playing. Thank you for the nice words and your continous support!
Best to you, Alex
thank a lot for your nice comment! I am glad you liked the piano. there are many styles in jazz - this one is kind of latin jazz. Let's say: the bossa rhythm meets jazz harmonic language. I am still learning all this and will be posting more jazz stuff in the near future.
Thank you cru for a nice review!
I am glad you enjoyed listening to this recording. I had some difficulties with velocities of the virtual instrument but I am happy with the results.
Alex
Surely there is nothing much about Antonio to celebrate at the moment. Honestly I'm just simply playing sheet music here.
It will probably sound strange but there is a need to acquire more 'patterns' under my fingers. This is the only way I can grow musically.
It was hard to record a bassline, the comping rhythm and filling harmonies as well as the melody on the top in such a short time in one take using 2 hands only. I like the ease emanating and the final result too. Music is a hard work for me basically.
Thanks a lot for your comment! I came across Getz/Gilberto performance about 5 years ago. The the book the arrangement is from is titled 'All Time Jazz Standards' and I intend to play and post the other tunes in different jazz styles as well. I can't record the real acoustic piano so that is why I experiment with it's electric emulations. Casio has weighted keys so I coud find some connections.
Very smooth and subtle. Very incredible. Loving the bossa style of the piece. I could picture a light drum kit playing along gently. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for such a nice comment! This is a new style I am practising currently. Yes, I was thinking about the loop and playing along it but couldn't find anything corresponding. I didn't play with metronome but still trying to stick with the beat as possible.
You likely know that I am not much of a synth/keys player as for me its just a way of finding the backing music so I really appreciate what you have going here...any of the real synths I have owned over past years came with their own character and often included whatever noise was included with the actual sound generating process so I kind of automatically listen past that stuff...and I appreciate that you did the music the real way musicians have done it and brought their own special brand to or ears over the years...Keep doing it...its what makes the music you do unique...enjoyed the listen....well done...Ed
Thank you for kind comment and I am happy you enjoyed listening!
I am academically trained keyboard player (classical, not jazz - still struggling to go beyond classical) so it is very natural to me to just play everything on keyboards. From that very special perspective, I would say, basically I hate creating music using just a mouse pad tweaking different virtual programms (which I used to do a lot anyway). Probably it is because I still believe that there is something (magical?) in real instruments, I do not know. Real instruments offer an instant reaction and they are realistically resonating objects ultimately...
I occasionally take a chance to record church organs in their natural environment (which is not always easy) and also want to record acoustic piano soon as well as maybe do some more realistic and progressive music sometime. It would be great to talk to you and discuss some details then!
Nice mix of analogue synths and jazz sensibilities. It made some sweet background music as well. It's chill and avante-garde. takes the best of the boys from sheffield in the seventies and the brilliance of modern chill-jazz. good work.
Steve
Thank you for your nice words!
This is a track I made last Sunday afternoon playing with 'colors' trying to expand the sound sonically so to speak (acoustically, electronically or whatever). Nothing much of a true melodic substance or a solid, evolving, dynamic-oriented song-writing work in here (but I am still struggling going definitely into that direction so do not worry). No metric modulations - just few jazzy chords and some basic drumming and simple structure alternating the elements.
Thanks for pointing some connections to older music - I absolutely love classic recordings.
Glad you enjoyed some of musical illusions I created intentionally or not
thanks for nice comments. Yes, my focus was on the athmosperics mainly - it's all a Blofeld synthesizer. Making backgrounds busy was one way to push this composition sounding somewhere interesting as I can't contribute too much of anything satysfying in terms of keyboard playing.
I watched your video of you programming your new drum machine and meant to make a particular point but never did. The point was that the kind dance style you were doing in that video sounds nothing like the kind of music you seem to make most of the time.
So I wondered if you were going to use the new drum machine to go in a different musical direction.
With this track, it seems you have incorporated the Akai Rhythm Wolf into your usual sound.
Anyway: nice chill intro and laidback slightly funky chords.
0:22 a fun little change and quirky synth sounds.
0:43 nice note.
1:01 we get a firmer drum groove. Sounds like an old 80s lo-fi drum machine. A little bit hip hop.
There seems to be quite a lot of noise on the track at various points. Is that intentional?
2:37 good high, shimmering keys
This is more if your lazy, chillout stuff that I hear as good background music. Not exciting or dynamic music but pleasant stuff.
The main idea was to make everything on new synthesizers. I started with Wolf only and somehow wanted to see where this 'process' can eventally take me. Then adding more layers I finally ended up with around 30 tracks. I think the noise is coming from Akai Rhythm Wolf - by turning up the 'howl' distortion it always gerenrates a lot of noise. It might be also a result of bad cable connections - probably there was a sort of electrical interference happening. I am awaiting new equipment so I should get cleaner sound next time. I was aware of this but worked too quickly and couldn't fix the problem afterwards.
Regarding to the future perspectives on my music production I actually want to make everything in much simple ways than before. For example: all the ring-modulated background sounds in this song are mainly created using Waldorf Blofeld - new synthesizer I've invested in recently. Waldorf offers amazing sound-design possibilities. Some great textures can be made in just few moments (after mastering it's practical sound-modulation synthesis capabilities and learning how to manage it's menues of course).
Also I intend to record some keyboard music on my upright piano (I probably mentioned this many times before) but it probably will wait again few weeks - I work physically a lot so my hands are quite rough. Overall I still have a very little energy for music, mainly because of too many work commitments.
I worked online with Spivkurl a lot over past few months and wanted also to create some more raw, realistic and powerful electronic sounds. That may be the one of directions of developing my future sound.
The 2 chord progressions of the track are: Bb13 - Ebm9, Ab13 - Dbm9 so V (dominant) - I (minor) which sounds quite jazzy. The other is CM-GM, BbM - FM (all major chords) - a kind of IV-I bluesy/gospel sort of sound. First one recorded on Waldorf's 'Electric Organ' (which actually reminds a proper electric piano sound) - other on Roland's 'D-6 clavinet' preset ('outro' ending on 'electric piano' presets).
At 0:22 starts the 'major' progression, changing the mood. 0:43 was Roland's 'fantasy' sound with a little bit of sitar in it.
You're right about the 80's snare - the one I use (from Akai) is a kind of charecteristic noisy drum maschine sound and it really may reminisce some older recordings. The way I placed few simple snare fills produces quite 80's flavoured sound too.
There is extensive drum layering (Waldorf's bass drums and some other percussive sounds) and complex background (again Waldorf with some deep pads). I placed also some amount of arpeggiated quasi-melodies creating nice funky movement.
I am glad you liked the overall sound and my vision. Surely I want to make more spectacular and original music. We will see. I am still learning how to use new synthesizers so it may take some time.
thank you for listening and nice words! I am glad you liked my jazzy style. There is so much of new music I have in my head - sadly there are many work commitments at the moment as well. From that perspective this track is appearing as something very far-distant to me.
I am looking forward to hear new productions from you - I will return soon to the listening.
Hey, sweet, and somewhat "twitchy" e piano vibes on this one! You can always jam on those sorts of keys! Great little jam piece here! Groovy late model jazz. Sweetness! Thank you for posting this! Fave!
hi! I am glad you had a chance to listen to this one! It is quite weird loop merger but I somehow 'glued' all this by playing along a little bit of piano. It was MrRay22 plugin played from Midistudio2 midi controller, very simple. I always had problems with keeping proper timing when recording things like that (I quantized midi notes which probably produces that 'shaking' effect). It's because of the response delay of virtual instruments and the fact that I am not really a trained 'jazz' musician but classical. Now I am recording 'piano' directly via audio output. Still I am struggling with creating interesting solo lines - I need more time to think and practise.
I will be away for a while but I intend to return soon with new 'ideas for a track' hopefully. Yesterday I opened Roland wave editor just for a moment and did some quick patching experimentations (with some fine sound results) - I'll try to message you as soon as I come up with something useful for the future music.
Thank you for such a nice review and the fave! I am happy you liked what I did with the track.
Alex
I didn't use the stems of 'I wish I could fly' here actually but only sampled the original track. Drums are loops of course. There is some heavy manual mamipulation on them. All the rest was played by myself using different plugins.
There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but this is a brilliant track. It's quirky and captivating. A great example of when an experiment goes right. Love it.
This is really smooth and creative. The vocals sound very robotic and, in this track, it fits perfectly. The instrumentation is also creative. I know for a fact everything is in time, however I found myself searching for the time signature. Is it ever changing throughout the track? Nevertheless, thank you for sharing! Cheers to Spivkurl and Promenade!
The song is in 3/4 at 130bpm. Chord progression is FMaj-EbMaj-Dmin-EbMaj. The actual feeling of the music is
a kind of a very slow 9/8 or moderately fast 9/4 meter because the actual rhythm grouping is 3 x 3/4. It is quite unusual approach at least when compared with what is happening in modern dance music. However, the vocals are mainly 4/4 as well as guitars - at least this is how I perceive it mostly.
It all loops fine together because 12 bars of 3/4 are equal to 9 bars of 4/4 in length.
I also slightly manipulated manually the time inside the daw so some sections come a little later than they should strictly mertonomically.
I am glad you liked the song. Thanks for nice comments once again!
Alex
This is definitely an unusual piece of music and I like it.
"a combination of Air and Kraftwerk"
makes a lot of sense to me. I don't know exactlywhy it sounds like the French group Air but it does. Maybe the autotuned/vocoded vocal. This is probably their best known song:
Yes, it is quite unusual piece. I am glad that you liked it!
Those 'organic' sounds are on one of the Roland basslines. I used a bass sound that has some other
delayed additional sounds but as I worked quite fast
I decided to keep them anyway. Basically I operated only
with Roland presets, not on it's patch level inside the sound editor. Also some of Microbrute sounds are
quite organic - probably because of the analog nature of the synth and some characteristics of it's filter.
There are 30 tracks here so there is a lot of layering and there is a lot happening in the 'mix'. With vocals, for example, there are at least 5 tracks with different settings for effects which is my way for
creating a sense of depth to the audio I am working with.
Few months ago I started recording real instruments (church organs mainly) using microphones and
I always preffered a 'raw' acoustic sound to the artificially generated. The same regarding instruments.
Of course in this version of Premonator the mix of different stylistical influences is indeed quite weird because I was trying to stick with given audio materials as close as possible and using Spiv's drum samples I mainly 'jammed' on my synths. There is a church 'positive' organ even and of course acoustic piano, string pads, some brass growl lead-ins, few different basslined and several fills.
The 'outro synth' on the left channel is just some real time LFO synth manipulation. Recording this particular way
(I mean: 'live') is fun but I had to make also many adjustments afterwards because the actual idea was to have a kind of a 'proper song' that should also be expressive somehow in a traditional way. The meter is 3/4 but the rhythm grouping is quite unusual
(I tried to explain this in my reply to Ookami somehow).
Thanks for reminding me of Air and for the link to this particular song, I really like chilled sounds like this.
Honestly I didn't really expect such positive looperman feedback considering quite experimental content inside this song so it's really a nice surprise and now I can appreciate the effort that we put into creating this unusual collab project better.
Many thanks for a nice review and also for detailed reply to my comment.
Hi again Alex!
This is so different in a very good way. Hypnotic use of Spivs vocal and all the creativiness with the instrumental. Beatiful guitar and atmosphere!
Loved it!
Hello SJ
Thank you for listening and your nice words!
It is much appreciated.
Our musical styles and visions are definitely very different so the result was unpredictable. I was trying to make a kind of a 'proper' song out of the given material - this is one of the final versions from many sketches I came up with when working on 'Premonator' project.
I think the 'original' one will be eventually posted as well sometime.
I am really happy you liked it! Thanks again for taking a listen. All the best to you,
Alex
Alex, I think Steve hit the proverbial nail on the head when he called this one brilliant. You really are not only highly skilled, but your execution is absolutely flawless. Very few people could have taken Pat's work and then morphed it into something this different and something this good.
Outstanding effort by both of you. Really incredible work Alex. You have my utmost respect. I hope all is well.
I am still learning how to record real instruments (church organs) which is a part of my work as a restorer of historical monuments here in Poland. Also there is some amount of piano music I really want to capture, mostly classical.
Producing and recording using daw is different as it is for me more about the artificial manipulation (I mean creating musical 'illusions') than playing everything 'live' honestly. I am not that much active as a performer/keyboardist currently but there are another ways in which I can still somehow continue music-making. I will definitely return to playing at some point and maybe will upload more live recorded music on looperman then as well.
We put much energy to make "Premonator' project happen and I am glad that Spiv allowed me to publish this particular version of the song. Thank you for your support and your nice words on this unconventional composition. I much appreciate that.

Air - Sexy Boy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ulZiob5I0
I also completely agree with "a good mix of the organic and the electronic".
Early guitar parts are quite raw and acoustic - an interesting juxtaposition with the far out synth sounds.
First vocal is quite catchy and I can hear some simple piano chords in the background, which add a different mood.
1:41 now a stronger beat and some other weird synth noises. Everything is coming together really well.
2:15 lots of space and really quite a relaxed feel now. Some nice guitar harmonics a little later.
Overall: a very interesting, unusual and creative piece of work.
