Spivkurl

This is really mad. It's a bit like Mario on an acid trip or something. I don't know how you build your synths but you always manage to come up with really original sounding stuff. This would be great in an old school video game.
Breaking boundries as always.

Yo yo !

but when you got use to the basedrum
and the other instrumens are comming in
then the basedrum got some power,
its very nice to hear .
i also love the funny synths ...

Love the chip tune vibes from this song. Great use of analog synths. Did you use sylenth for this?

Good Job,
Rico L.

Great track Spiv.
The production is excellent and you know i'm a fan of guitar...especially Mark and Bear!
I've been away for awhile and this is a great track to come home to.
Thanks for the music my friend.

Another great track Spivkurl! It's so unique but of course that's your style. Which I have always really enjoyed listening too. The 8 bit sounds take me back to my NES days. I love the fact that it's so gritty. This ones a Fav. Truly nice work.

Chiptune Industrial House music, thats what i get from it, I love it! great sounding synth good work Spiv!

Interesting stuff, Liked the flow!! quite frankly, I dont listen to this genre, but i had a great time listening to it!

Looking forward!

classic, a great artist is someone with an unmistakable signature, and usually people either love or hate, I aoways loved your signature and again just a joyfull experience. Very fun track and creative as usual from Spiv.

Yup, definitely a spivkurl track after about 1 second haha. I like how all the sounds are made from one synth, helps to make it more cohesive. Nice and quirky track, I enjoyed listening once again! :)

Nice, analogue gritty and raunchy work.

weird in a nice sort of way./...

This is such an interesting listen. I could envision this being played through the loudspeakers in a futuristic city. People stopping and listening to it.
It's really good. Love tracks with a spacey vibe. Well done! :)

Thought i'd better jump on this since I started the loop challenge and never finished mine. This is sounding really cool, it's got a dubby kind of feel to it with lots of cool efx and inserts. The guitar sounds really good as does all the percussion and crazy noises. It doesn't sound like loops really either so congratulations on finishing and coming up with something good.

Such a cool weird tune . The guitar is ripped right out of the New Romantics Playbook (Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet). The Dub is eclectic and the beat is hypnotic.

I feel it needs some spoken word lyrics on this one, like describing an acid trip or a very weird day sort of like Robbie Roberston's "somewhere don the crazy river". I just had espresso so why creative thoughts are racing this Sunday. The synth work is very tasteful BTW, I wished it continued longer.

Regreetings. No problem with the Over And Over bassline. Still don’t know what you think of that bassline/song. Would be interesting if you thought it was awful. My guess is you’re just using a similar synth bass sound.

Great to hear you’re so happy with your guitar. I have no ability for building stuff or knowledge of electronics so you’re vastly superior in those areas. Would be fun to make my own guitar or bass. Or some sort of other strange hybrid. For instance, I’d really like a mohan veena, which is a cross between a guitar and sitar (with extra resonant strings) and all played with a bar, like a Weissenborn. Can’t buy mohan veenas in UK and I won’t buy one (ie import it) without first playing it.

I’d also like a 2-string slide bass, as played by the legendary Mark Sandman from Morphine. If I’m very nice to you, could you make me one? I’ll pick it up the next time I visit the US.

Have a look on Youtube as people have made 2 string basses designed specifically to be played with slide (more than 2/3 strings and slide playing gets awkward).

“my biggest dub influences would be The Clash and early Bauhaus”

No, they’re definitely not who I think of when I think of dub though I recognise some reggae/dub influence in some of The Clash’s stuff.

Silly me for not getting the Parallel Killer joke. I did have a look at your guitar after writing my review so now understand the parallel reference. Yes, maybe there are serial killers who do a couple at a time. But the ‘serial’ is a reference to doing it over and over and again, not how many are killed at a time. So, a series of killings could refer to any number of victims in each incident.

“groove loops, which contain more than one instrument class.”

Yes, I like to have everything separate for greater control. And so I don’t feel like a slave to that configuration of sounds ie the original loop.

Again: nice track, bro.

That new guitar in places gave the song a bit of a western feel to the track. The rhythm you were playing also reminded me of a sound the Clash were using when they were in NYC exploring early hiphop and electronic music, just some bigger effects. You must be proud of your accomplishments!

Nice job with the loops!

Merry Christmas!

yo !

i love the baseline , and i like the electronic sounds.
You are using many sounds in this track .
lots of acidlike sounds
and its very nice to listen to .

nicely done !

greetz

great groove, super sounding mix, got me bopping right away, would be a great car track, too bad I don't drive.

Wow! Cool loops selected, and I definitely feel you've brought the best out of them! I feel like this is a 'disco from the future song' and I could see this being a trend.

You've done it again!

Very inventive stuff again...has a bit of retro feel...cool bassline...you really know how to work with loops! Very well done!:)

Compliments _____Orlando

Nice, powerfull, dublike, electro-wave-rock-track, with an exelent retro feeling. See myself in a cool club in berlin around ´89, on something that made us a little faster then the others and some that made us a little funnyer then the most, jumping around to your music.

very cool one. You did a real good work with this samples and put some cool stuff over it. I like it :)

stay tuned
joe

very fine work - I really enjoyed this one. Probably this is close to what we could call 'minimal' music. At least at the very beginning of the track... I thought you might experiment with the delay effect on guitar even more to get the dub/reggae feel but instead there's a great amount of electronic glitchy sounds (I liked some toms as well) which is very nice also. I guess the 'dub' sound-image is only a result of mixing the tone of that guitar and the electronic sounding loops. I like that part from about 2:21 with some interesting bass filtering. At 3:15 it reminds kraftwerk for a while but with some bluesy, very eastern sounding guitar (at 3:26). Bassline sounds really good in here (as always). Very solid piece of music and really creative, detailed work on the track. Alex

The mad scientist does it again! :p Is that a guitar you built? There should be a Spivkurl genre on here ;) That would fix the confusion about what genre. Good one, flows along nicely and all fits together perfect :D I used a synth loop of yours on a new blues track. You should post a few to the challenge to challenge me with again :D Too much fun!

Impressive Spiv creation. Digital frankenstien aka Digi Dokta kind of scene. Used those loops better than I had thought. Nice intro to the PKG recordings log, adds a good element to the mix. A dub with a dub that glitches was an interestn listen Pat. Thanks for sharing. Illusive chemicals? Peace.
