diggin' the textures here that you are using man....your work is so rooted in the classic electronic giants of the school man, reminds me of not only yello and kraftwerk but also the 8bit weapon stuff i've heard recently...real and direct, that vocoder stuff put's me right back in front of the Mudd club on 23rd st nyc...1981-2..when Arthur took Trans Europe Express and just ran with it...thanks again for sharing your unique sound bro !!

I'm really happy you've enjoyed this one. I really haven't listened to much of the groups you speak of, but maybe I should be... heh I'm glad the vocoder brought you back to an interesting time! I appreciate your unique and entertaining reviews. Thanks for stopping by!

I was in the mood to listen to some Spivkurl and was hoping to find that you uploaded a new track since it has been a little bit since I last listened to a track of yours. Unfortunately nothing new...so I scrolled down till I found a track I haven't listened to. This is a great track...vocals sound good, they are yours I'm guessing?? Loved the beat as well and that killer bass. You really know how to create tracks that sound simply spectacular!! Keep rockin!!

Thanks for checking out some of my older stuff. This is one of my personal favourites, glad you enjoyed it too. Yep those are my vocals... You might be interested in a track I just uploaded entitled "Break Me". Thanks for listening!

It's nice to finally use these gadgets I've put together. and use them in a musical fashion. I think the atmospheres really bring this track together. It's good to hear some one else appreciating it. Thank you very much for checking out my new stuff!

Maybe I should remix this track at a faster tempo or something, it seems like it might be better that way. Thank you for your helpful comments and encouragement. Glad I could give some inspiration!

Stop shaking the rabbit! lol

I thought about one of those things you shake and it makes noise...

Beatnik...
My favorite part of the beatnik generation was "on the road"
I think about that book all the time..
especially "into the wild" which was a modern day mythology.

This is kinda like mythology in it's self... it's like ....
...
I don't know...
lol
I love this
But I did hear a more realistic drum and sugar smoked vocals in my head..

Just my opinion..

I have an inert feeling that you and I are on complete opposites of the soundwave...
which I appreciate and love all the more..
Pleeeeease keep it up!
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I love all manner of sound making toys, I guess that shows through in my tunes.

I too like "On The Road", kerouac wrote heaps of cool stuff. Do you think this song sounds "beat"?

I can see what you mean about opposites of the soundwave... maybe we're working together to fill a void... or maybe I'm just tired...

Thanks for the great review!

good beginning, although one criticism i have is that even though the drums are nicely eqed, they are quiet repetitive. Not saying it's not right just saying adding a few minor sounds in the front of the mix might hvae given it a nice variety
Personally I would have changed the note patterns the second time around, but sometimes it doesn't work that well, sometimes it does, so that's just my little 2 cents right there :)
Have fun! and Good work!
God Bless

Ah ha! I love it, I checked out the gallery. Dude I really admire your skillz, both in THIS song, your other tracks and then for your obvious skills and understanding of electronics and sound. Vry cool.

Loved the voxish sounds in this. Great track bud.

Thank you very much! I wish I understood electronics more, but I think I have put holes in my brain since I built all this stuff. Maybe I just exceeded myself. I appreciate the good review!

For me, your music is incredibly visual. I keep vacillating between impressionism and dadaism. It's the layers and the mega-texturing you're doing at the deep levels (either that or I'm suffering audio hallucinations again). Wanting to drift off into total digressions, so I'll just give a nod and say how much I like this.
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I'm glad to hear this from someone! I've decided that I like to make music that entices the listener to imagine things. It seems like I'm getting closer to my goal then. I suffer from hallucinations audio and otherwise, so I know what you mean. I'm very glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks for the review!

Your soundscape are always so interesting to discover, again great use of arrangments, like 2 bass line talking to each other, then the haunting vocoder brings in the melodic hook, this is great electro to a drum and bass beat, again a fun journey at sea from Captain Spivkurl.
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for referring to this track as a soundscape...for some reason it's just comforting! I definitely tried to make the two bass lines interact in the realm of frequency. Glad that the vocoder added some interest. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

I hate drum and bass like not as a choice it just sorta happens. I knew I'd like yours. Maybe that was a choice. What is a circuit bent atmosphere exactly? I dare not improvise my own description here in this review. It's too early in the day to let your tracks make my mind start dumping all it's data into this text field.
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I'm glad I could make an accessible tune for you. This was a fun one to make. The circuit bent atmospheres are for example what you hear in the background of the intro. They are sounds made from toys which I've rewired into musical instruments. They are a great source of unusual samples. Thanks for stopping by and reviewing!

Highly interesting and innovative use of old technology - this is a great track. By the way I checked out your gallery and I love the gadgets and gizmo's you utilize in your work. Apart from their sonic potential, they are highly interesting from an aesthetic standpoint - they look like they belong in an old sci - fi movie.

Thank you for the kind words, this was a very fun track to make. I'm glad you liked the gallery too. I really need to take pictures of the rest of my circuit bent toys and stuff. Thank you again!

Well done man. Lots going on in this track...I like that kinda stuff. Loved all the synths and effects used, they all sound killer. The vocoded sample is a real fine touch as well.

This track has a very full sound, whether that's the choice of synths or the eqing I'm not sure. Maybe it's both! A lot of energy with very interesting synths. I love that vocoded sample.
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for taking time to listen! I did do a lot of EQ'ing on this track to expose the underlying layers. I mastered it pretty heavilly too, to keep the mix pumpin. The vocoder came from my Microkorg. Thanks for the review!

To me this has an element or two that is similar to Devo - a group which I absolutely love....ergo I love this track.

I've toyed with reel to reels & razor blades back in '91 to create music concrete type loops. What you are doing here works. It seems the tape really settled down the tones & made them more musical. Simply brilliant work here!

Thank you very much for listening! I love how old tape technology sounds, it can be so refreshing to modern sounds. I appreciate the review!
