Hey buddy, thank you for your comment! I very much intended the bass to sound the way it does, and to be at that level. The mixes I had heard so far were lacking in treatment to the bass, and I felt that it was an important part. Also a very high quality stem too, so it lent itself to shaping. I probably took the whole mixing stage a bit too far, but while saying that I know that some others have done way heavier effects than this. I really appreciate the feedback!

Hello friend! Good to hear from you! Happy that you enjoyed this track. I was very sad and angry when I did these vocals, and it shows through a bit, but I still like how it turned out. Thanks for stopping in!

Interesting to hear! Did you get the stems when they were available? Sounds like someone is redistributing them now, but I have no idea who. Would like to hear what you do with it! Thanks for the comment!

Hey man, been a while it seems! Hope you are well! Happy that you enjoyed listening to this one. From what I remember it was a great outlet to create... hope I can live up to this in the future. It's so enjoyable to make minimal techno, and I have to force myself to do something different sometimes. Thanks so much for the good comment!

Hey thanks friend for the comment! I guess I don't recall what exactly made the bass so isolated, but I do know that it was sampled from a one-shot... I'll say just that. Was a fun song to create for sure, so I'm happy that you enjoy listening! Take care!

Hey buddy, this comment means a lot to me! It's always a good feeling when someone can feel where you were coming from when listening! It's an important track for me, and it makes me happy it's been well received. In fact it's the most played techno track on Looperman now! Schweet. I'll be swinging by your page in a moment! Thanks much!

Hey thank you friend! Good to hear from you! Sorry about the late reply, I got behind. Thanks again!

Hey friend, thank you for the supportive comment! Happy that you enjoyed listening! Hope you are well!

Hey, thanks much! Happy that you enjoyed listening! I always get into trying something new (to me at least). I really appreciate the feedback!

Hello, and thank you for your comment! I'm happy that you enjoyed the musical elements in the track! It is not a horribly complex or involved piece, but I succeeded in translating the moment to my ears. Yes you are right, everyone suffers, it is part of the human experience... however, our responsibility to humans is as caretakers of this earth and this reality - to impose suffering on, or to be an enabler of suffering to the members of this existence is to me the peak of weakness and failure. I appreciate your comments!

Hey buddy, good to see you! Very happy you enjoyed listening to this! Was a fun project at the time, and fixing the problems with the demo version made it worth listening to. Definitely urgent, glad you could hear that! Hope you are well!

Thank you for the comment!

Hello, and thank you for your kind comment! This is definitely one of my more successful efforts in regards to emotional effect, atleast to my brain. It's intended as minimal techno, and between the tempo, the way the bass was created, and the sounds used I would say it's pretty much that. I think most people have their own idea of what techno sounds like, and thus from a creative point of view it's pretty open. I appreciate you stopping by, sorry for the late reply!

Hey friend, no need to apologize regarding timing of a review. Not like I'm in a hurry to replace the song or anything. After releasing the album I'm mostly in sound design and instrument building mode now, so don't have much for new songs yet. Subdued, yes I would agree... it was a very sad and angry time, and I allowed myself to just do a pure expression sort of work. I think it was helpful for me. I've had my stagnant moments as well, but it's worth fighting against it on a daily basis. Thank you very much for the listen and comment!

Hey friend, thank you so much for your enhanced words! I'm happy that you enjoyed listening to this one. It took me quite a while to listen to the final master without an emotional outburst, so I guess that is probably a good sign. I don't really do much that is not weird, but I'm sure you've learned that by now. To be compared with Dali is a new one, and I'm honored. I appreciate you stopping in to listen and comment!

Hey, thank you GC! I can't say for sure, but I've been thinking that this is one of the most authentic and successful tracks I've done. It was almost pure instinct, which is hard to capture sometimes. Bass was so simple that it surprises me every time. I still think of you as NeoBane, so it's an adjustment having the Chopin moniker show up. Hope you are well!

SN, I appreciate your honest reactions to things deeply, so thank you for your further response. In my time on Looperman, I have gravitated towards giving my opinion on tracks or styles that I'm not really into. This has many benefits, including but not limited too; me hearing types of music that I wouldn't normally (hence having more varied influences as compared to previously), effecting artists which I wouldn't otherwise with my artistic preferences, and contributing more fully in the community which embraces all sorts of ideals. You are right, we do have very different tastes, but we are both artists in the strictest sense of the word. If you don't feel like giving criticism on a track you don't enjoy, that's no problem by me. I understand your interpretation of the high frequency parts of this track, and don't mind the opinion. I guess that I appreciate that even I hear something new every time I hear the song, even though I made it. Haven't achieved that much before. It is a track which is more intended to be heard on a setup with good low end or a sub, You seem to gravitate more to mid range frequencies, while I am repelled by them. I am rarely up for 18 hours any more. I keep a moderate healthy schedule, up around sun rise and in bed when I'm getting tired. I've had my sleep deprived life for long enough, and now I like to live the way the plants do. Get my light therapy by default upstairs when smoking my morning love cigarette. I honestly have only gotten a small amount of response to the new album, and I think that is partly due to the late summer (northern hemisphere) release of it. Atleast around here, people have been acting like it's the end of the world and it's the only time they'll have to do anything useful ever again... hence not inside listening to free music. Also, it seems to be my most depressing album ever, so I don't blame anyone. Thank you again for the response! I always value your opinions and contribution!

Hey friend, thank you for the supportive comment! I consider it a win if you're listening to techno and you dance til you forget what you're listening to! So that makes me happy! I appreciate you stopping by!

Thank you Dan! I am thankful for your kind words! Glad you could hear and enjoy the fusion in this song. Hope you are well. I will be by your page in a moment!

Thanks much! I appreciate your listen and comment!

Hey thanks buddy! I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment! Happy that you enjoyed. Hope you are well!

Thank you very much for taking a listen and leaving a comment! Obviously some people are questioning whether this is really techno, but I have no other idea of what it would be. It's got the right sort of tempo, it's not half-time, prominent kick and bass... minimal techno. The use of delays and things is integral to this track, it repetitive but always changing in subtleties. Thanks for your support! I agree good music is good music, there is something to be enjoyed in all genres.

Hey buddy, nice to see you here! Very happy that you enjoyed the listen, as I'm proud of the track. Thank you very much for the kind words!

Thank you for the comment!

Hello my friend, and thank you for your kind words! Strange that my profile was not in the search... If this represents a doorway for you, then I am eager for what is to come from you artistically! Hope you are well, and thank you again!
