Your voice kinda reminds me of Mr.Weeble...

This definitely had me foot stomping!

Glad you enjoyed the stomp! I'm guessing you mean Mr. Weebl? I couldn't find anything from a Mr. Weeble... I guess I get it, most the stuff I heard didn't have much for vocals. Thanks very much for taking a listen and leaving a comment!

Hello My Friend,

I wasn't sure exactly where you were going with this one at first..but about 20 seconds in I knew that I'd be delighted. Nice track, you really made the vocal & synth elements work together in this one. I like how you are not afraid to be yourself musically. Great Job!!

Hey buddy, thanks much for your supportive comment! The intro was a very conscious effort, and was meant to be a large contrast to other elements of the song, which could be subtly referenced later in the track. I think it worked out okay that way. Glad you enjoyed the vocal/synth play! I spent plenty of years not being myself, now I have taken measures to free that real me. Thanks for noticing! Hope all is well!

You should consider to make it usual. Great stuff! Just cool!

Hey Spiv, this is pretty cool track, I like the feel of the intro and then changes big time. There is a lot of dynamic things going on with this. Good job and keep it up.

Thanks much for the kind review! Glad you enjoyed the track! I guess part of the change is that the intro was a fully conscious creation, where as the verses were formed in my subconscious. I appreciate you taking a listen!

Another Awesome track Spivkurl! The track has a very upbeat groove to it. The bass is really sick and your vocals were great. The mix sounds pretty good too. This one's another Fav. Nice work as usual.

Thanks my friend for always being there to leave a good review! Glad you enjoyed the groove and bass, I was getting into it while mixing that's for sure. I really appreciate the fave! Thanks!

This is really retro sounding. It sounds like cyberpunk. You've done yourself justice here, that bassline is something straight outta the 80's but with a modern twist. I love the filtered effects you put on it and the vocal synthesis is brilliant. This is one of those tracks that could just go on forever.
Like the way you broke it down and brought in that cowbell thing and then that crazy synth that goes with it.
You might have been in a weird mood but this aint weird its really good.

Hey, thanks, some good feedback you've contributed here! Cyberpunk makes sense to me... been rewatching Max Headroom lately, and watched Repo:The Gentic Opera again not long ago. I almost didn't remember what you meant by voice synthesis, but yeah it's there... ha ha... kind of just started thinking of it as a synth. I actually shortened the final arrangement, but if it could go on forever, maybe that means it's appropriate for remixing. I really appreciate you taking a listen, hear you soon!

Love the effect of the synth getting gradually louder after the 1:18 mark. The vocals are interesting as I find you have been excelling at that lately. The drums, as simple as they are are very cool and have a catchy beat. Things break out a little later in the track, there are some cool changes here. Well done Spiv, totally diggin this!

Thanks very much for stopping in to listen! Thank you for your support regarding my vocals, had to force myself to retrive my voice for this one...smoking and all ya know. This song relies heavilly on spontaneous automation to accent the changes, so I'm glad you think it worked okay. It was nice for a change not to focus on supercomplex drums, sometimes I put too much effort on that. Tried to save some things for later in the track, so it would build up nicely. I really appreciate the comment my friend!

Freaky good, some dark disco going on here. Maybe we could name this genre Litho-Disco. As usual your vox shine for me, nice bass line. The synth line at 2:20 is nice. Love the ending. Great work Spiv. Studio is almost finished here in my new location so I can remix again. will be contacting you soon.

Hey, thanks so much my friend! Means a lot to me! As I said to MYXD, I wasn't thinking about offering a remix kit, but since two of my Looperbuddies are interested I will probably be giving it a try. I was trying to impart a little disco vibe, Litho-Disco...that's funny! I appreciate the supportive comment on the vocals, I found my vocal chords were a little weak on this one, but I just kept on keepin on. I can't take too much credit for the bass line, save for the arrangement and mixing of it. Took me a few tries to get the ending sounding right, it needed to be balanced. Thank you very much for the listen and comment! I will contact you when the remix kit is ready!

I really love the groove here, and the part at 3:45. You should totaly send me the stems for this i want to play with it!
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 20th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Hello my friend! Nice to get a listen from you, as well as the comment! I hadn't thought about doing a remix kit for this one, but since you and crucethus are both interested, I might just do that. It's tough to tell how to go about exporting the stems, I'm thinking in their raw state. At the same time the groove and progression rely heavilly on automation of effect sends and stuff. Anyway, I'll get in touch with you when I have it figured out! Thanks for stopping in!

Hey man, thanks for stopping in! I think this one turned out good because I didn't overthink it. Turns out that electro is a pretty fun genre to make. I really appreciate your kind comment!

That is quite a mind bending bassline and vocals! Really liking the punchy beat. That electro bass with the filter rise is really nice and crunchy! Sounds good! I should probably be going to bed soon as I have to get up early but instead I'm sitting here blasting this and cutting some mad shapes haha ;) The funky muted wah guitar sound or whatever it is sounds nice too! This is getting faved fo sho! Well done.

Thanks for staying up a little late to crank out the new one! It's fresh from the flash drive. Was fine to try some slightly different approaches, so I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to fave! I've got those stems you made on my studio hard drive now, and will be working with them shortly. Appreciate you listening friend!

Well i have to admit that i haven't a clue what an 8 bit track is so you'll have to excuse me as i have nothing to compare it to. It reminds me a little of the soundtrack to an old arcade game like donky kong or sum ting.
It's definitely got a unique sound to it and i can just picture mario (version 1) trying to jump those barrels to get to the lady at the top.
Interesting tune and it sounds good after a few buds (the beer not the green stuff)

Spivkurl replied 18th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Hey buddy! Well, 8 bit is pretty much what most of the old games and toys were back in the day, so your comparison to arcade games is pretty accurate. Atari made 8 bit home computers in the 70's and 80's, and actually up til '92 which surprised me. When Shan added this genre, he referred to it as "8 bit chiptune circuit bent," and since this one is primarilly circuit bent I thought I'd switch the genre. Glad I could enhance your beer drinking a little! Thanks for listening!

Hey pat, thanks for linking me this song. I did actually happen to stumble across this previously but probably it was when I was busy and I didn't listen to it fully then,
I really liked the sound at 0.16 it sounds just so energetic for me haha.
Further not much piano added in but just a slight bit, the small parts you did put in sound nice though, challenge you to make a track with only piano ^^ but that might lie in the future since you are still practicing it anyway, though it would take away the cool spivkurl industrial sounds :/

great job ;)

Thanks for sharing this

Hey, thanks for swinging by to comment on this song! I am just a beginner at piano, especially recording it, so yes, there isn't too much in here. Playing keyboards and organs helps a bit, and knowing some theory, but it's mostly a new beast. I don't know if I'll ever do a strictly piano song, but who knows?! I appreciate the feedback and support! I will be returning your message soon!

Really cool sequence of sounds in the intro. Has a great glitchy, trippy feel. I think fusion is probably the perfect genre to put it in!

Very creative and nice mixing as well man, I like it! Only thing is the song finished but I'm still hungry. I want more psychogenic sammich's!

Hey friend

Saw this one in the feature list so had to come and have a looks see, yes does have your sound about it but also a lot new sounds too, thinking yes Fusion a good pick for this genre wise, as always great arrangement, panning very good, listening on old lap top and all sounds great through the speaks at this end, think one reviewee said lots going on which there is, but everything has its own space, nothing seems to be drowning anything out in the mix, credit to you mate, nice one...Fav'd...Peace n respect dude...Mosaic...

I appreciate your very kind opinions on this song especially on the mixing side of things! Been trying many new things lately. This is the first song which has recordings from my recently acquired piano. I have new monitors now, better midi controller, direct box, learning my newer audio interface more fully as well. It's definitely more fusion than the songs I used to release as fusion, so I'm happy about that. Thanks for always stopping by!

I`d put Spiv`s signature on this one no matter where I heard it (see... you may educate me yet)...can`t help notice the production stuff you have going on Spiv..the way you spread out those fx bits that produces a lot of space for the main synth & beat parts...always an adventure, education an fun listen..cool littel piano bit at the end....right on....Ed

Hey Pat, Thought i'd check out your latest offering and once again it's a propper mind bender. It's a shame you opted out on the vocals as i like your vocal style.
This reminds me in places of a dark and twisted video game like doom or something.
Your unique style really shines through on this track, it's like a haunted house or something.
PS already started using some of the sounds from that pack you uploaded. There's some useful stuff in there.
Great track.

Hey friend, thanks very much for stopping in! I will be back on the vocals soon, just felt like taking it easy for a couple days. Used to love playing Doom, so that's cool! Our house is a little haunted, so maybe that's what you're hearing in there? Glad you're having some fun with those sounds I made. Just sounded like fun to distribute sounds from some of the gear I built. I appreciate the listen and comment!

Hello ....

Someone wrote somewhere: "what I like about your page - and it is very rare to watch - . You seem so modest .... but your are making it all up with your extreme good quality and talented work"

I agree with this person, because you are going to always (at least in what I 've listened of your productions ) beyond musical logic called commercial .... It seems to me that when you have a concept idea .... even this will force us to hear differently, you follow your idea .... and go at the end.
It is this very innovative feature that I like in you .... evidence here.
All this is only my opinion of course, and engages only me.
