The depth with panning.. delay that you utilize...
there is something goin' on in your head.. that I don't think a lotta people could even grasp..
Again...
I need it to be said to me.
Like.. .. how could I explain
it's like seeing symbols but .. not correctly understanding the symbolism.
I think I do.. "But.. Do I?"
It has elements.. (to me) of staring fear in the eyes.
The listless taste of ... indignation
the joy of victory, but... a sense of ... doom
all through the kaleidoscope of music
it's very well done..
something in me still secretly wishes
that it transferred from the musical psychedelia, into HARD rhythms and grinding grooves..
lol
would buy your CD if you supplied some cool liner notes
:)
Yes, you would be the one that gets it! The language choices - uncanny! My instrumental nonverbal ballad about the Language Elves. I'll write you about the provocative stuff, but your last comment/critique - this is the hard limitation of iamthemightyjungulator. Very, very limited platform that can only be played as an instrument. One shot - get it right with a max of 6 loops. No vst effects, no sends, nothing. It's too bad, too as it's got serious potential. I'm thinking that I owe M. Oden a huge dept of thanks as I wouldn't have pursued this type of music at all hadn't that program been so much fun to play with.
The sunlight spotting thru the trees...
Rain falling softly from the leaves..
The hunted and the hunter!
Very cool and interresting textures that groove into pure smooth time!
I have a good feeling about the track!
I can't wait to hear the tunes that you will have in the future!
I would like to hear a mix with some elements cutting out, and an EVEN more .... "darker" jungle would sound COOL too!
In my "musical-minds-eye" I picture some cool contrast with some more industrial sounds.. and then a mix with an acoustic soundfeel too...
The ability of this track too me make me think about the creative process, makes this an INCREDIBLE track in the first place.
It is kinda... a decentralized... techno ethnic ambient song... of the FINEST quality.
I would buy your CD if you included some art in the packaging
:P
Dude,--- Vocals on this(???)... that would be a FULL production with the right lyrics and singing on top!?
Love it.
Abe - I love your reviews, not only of my tracks but the others, too! I love stepping outside myself and "seeing" through your eyes. Your comments are all spot on, and I think my Definitive Pope < 3 min. piece will have to be one version. There's going to have to be the Dance version, the extended Ambient version, and the dark belly of the Black Widow version (a frightening beauty). I'm kicking around lyrics for it right now, and will send you some drafts when it's time. Thanks for your encouragement - it means a lot.
I am not usually one to comment in music outside of my genre, since i dont consider myself qualified enough to provide a good perspective on music i rarely listen, but this is amazing, im glad i dug deep enough to find this! great play, thanks for sharing!
I know just how you feel. I'm constantly amazed listening to tracks on this site that are outside of my comfort zone. Thanks for listening and feedback.
jungle scene in an anime!?!?!?! ON POINT yhea, i don't even know what genre i'd classify this other then in post production ambience music, i guess, but not even, this should definatly be sold to some kind of tv show or anime for real, ever thought of guetting an A&R to do this for you??
Wow. Actually, no I hadn't considered getting an A&R, but now I'm really intrigued. Thanks for the HUGE vote of confidence here. I'm sending you an email with some questions. Cheers.
This is a really groovy track. I love the interplay of all those loops, it makes for an exciting mix. It does sound a little bit pop, in a good way. Nice work!
Thanks Mate. I've really tried to imagine Peter Gabriel and Sousie Sioux channeling Frank Tovey here. Way outside my comfort zone (as an underground artist) but a fun challenge. I've been playing with the next version (and learning more about Ableton in the process) and I'm now thinking a vocal track is inevitable. Like the idea of "insurrection Pop" somehow. Float it past the critics like prions disguised in a juicy McHappy Meal. No defense possible. Cheers!
I can see the factory gnomes jammin away on mini percussion instruments in their factory, great ambient track, truly hypnotizing, great production. Peace Love and Freedom to be a gnome.
I'm really flattered to see how many times you've played this track! Collaboration actually makes sense between the two of us - we both like to mix up very different musical traditions, don't we? Yeah, I like this idea. I'll send you an email and we'll try to figure something out. Cheers.
Yeah, this one's coming together quite well. Ultimately I need to get it in under 3 minutes and I'm really thinking it needs a vocal track before it's done. A woman's voice (esp. a deeper register) would really change the whole dynamic. Thanks for listening and the review.
Sounds pretty tight to me..I like the hollow marimba like synth line in the main overlay melody...cool world fusion vibe...some vocals would top this off nicely...it's a great groove though!...cheers planet :)
Thanks planetjazzbass. That t'would be Dj4Real's "Industrial Keys" loops heavily effected. There are three or 4 of yours floating in this one, too. Cheers.
man, when I think about when my best friend got the first IBM PC and we were using like one of the very,very first sequencing programs available to working now at home with a digital work station/recording studio in your computer it just blows me away..I like how you took my loop and like a great composer, did your own unique theme and variations through decontruction! I need to listen to this a few more times when I'm more coherent..lol, just kidding but not joking at the same time !!
thank you...
v!
On 5 1/2 inch floppies, no less! My friend had a Commie that we plugged into a cassette deck for storage and we wrote sound programs in Basic. That machine didn't last long...the early Cassio samplers had no storage capabilities. It's about then we started playing shopping carts and copper tubing in underground sonic experiments. And this track was done entirely on a laptop! I like how your "simple groove 2" and "simple groove 1" work sequentially, and how "ol skool funk drums" work as an accent!
wow, n0mad23, I'm more than honored that you used my funky drum loop as the foundation for this track, and in combination with Dj4Real's and planetjazzbass, fussionroomrobb etc, this is really an honor man,..I need to listen to this a few more times...I'm noticing lot's of subtle things going on the arrangement....nice, nice!!! thank you!!
victormusic01x...in the n Yc CCCC!!!!....listening to to one of my loops in another mmember's track!
My God, this is serious work, yo. Someone could rap over this and have a solid track right there. Though it sounds good with no vocals, which is rare. Most tracks sound horrible without a voice but this seems to go against the odds. Keep it up!
Thanks for the listen and review. I need to "find" my voice again, or cast the invite out there for some vocal tracks at some point. Vocal free music does demand a tighter approach, and I'm digging the medium.
this one sounds even more industrial to me man for some inexplicable reason, still in the same general area you've been investigating....I wanted to hear an almost intense slightly funky groove to come in somewhere...because u know I like them commercial flavors from time to time :)....another fave for me, I think you are getting close to an entire album here maybe!
thanks for sharing your artistry and always breaking new boundaries!
victormusic01x....in the nyC...listening to new directions in sound...
Yup - I've still got all my Throbbing Gristle, Coil, and Psychic TV vinyl. I never play it as my spouse threatens divorce when I pull it out. I agree with your assessment and I'm now exploring Ableton Live Lite 7 to get me out of the limitations of doing this "live" with freeware. I'm thinking that I'll be able to do this 'playing' the computer like an instrument, but be able to do the overdubs and revisions necessary to move it to the next logical level. To this point, all my music here you've listened to has been done with a single mouse. Not bad considering, but too hobbyish or amateurish for what I really want to do. Thanks for your encouragement Victor, it's birth cohorts that inspire me the most!
n0mad, I beginning to notice that Slap's so called 10 minute is definitely the therapy everyone 'round here needed I think, it definitely pushed me to work more out of the box and trust one's first extinct's..ie does that sound right?no wait a sec..let me change it, but hmmmm...maybe it was actually better the original way..lol..when the second melody came in around 5:00 or so, everything came together, great mixing as always and loop selection too...The Journey of Unexpected Outcomes perhaps...or in other words, overproducing a track will not overcome a lack of the special ingredients in the foundation of a truly unique creation...need to listen to this a few more times maestro, because i love it!! and faving it!!
thanks for sharing your artistry man!
victormusic01x...in the nyC...beginning to think that finding this site and the great creators/artists on it was just what the doctor ordered!
Victor! I wish the medium was more conducive to communication as there are things I'd love to talk to you about. Funny that we're so late to discovering this site and how there's an obvious artistic/philosophical affinity we share. Ya Man, Doctor Slap's Sonic Colonic was just what was needed. It was YOUR attempt that convinced me to give this a whirl last night, so thanks to you for that! The honor of sharing artistry is all mine - thanks to you and all for the encouragement. It means more than you can imagine!
Thank you Slap - that 10 minute challenge got me over 2 full weeks of total blockage. I'm really pleased how this one turned out, especially since all triggering and slider manipulation was done with a mouse. I'm currently checking out some of your loops for prospective tweakage and I'm blown away at what a sample resource you are! Cheers - Sean.
Alright Abe, I'll admit as one Artiste to another. I'm so happy I found this site - there are connections I'm making that I really treasure. Cheers for finding this one SO FAST! What, 5 minutes before review? Cheers mate, I'll be in contact soon.
Right now, I'm listening to this and wanting to hear a Carlos Santana like guitar ripping over this, but at the sametime could hear an even more dubbed out mix with a Robbie Shakepeare like supa bass line, minimal, and maybe coming in on a downbeat here and there, then again I'm a big fan of reggae in general and Bill Laswell;/Material..maybe finish this in a few different ways and then remix it using elements of all the diferent mix options in some kind of way...I really dug Traffic years ago when they had Rebop Baah on percussion...wow, after sayong that, I can even hear Steve Winwood's voice over this too...loving this draft n0mad23!!
thanks for sharing your artistry with me and everyone on the site!
victormusic01x...in the nyC...urban jungle landscape starting to blend in with sand dunes and desert sand, sheperds in the distance on the horizon, heat rising and making eerything blurry..
Thanks! I've been feeling a bit discouraged by this one - I keep going back to it and really think I've hit the limitation wall of my freeware approach. It's a review like this that really makes me wonder if I should take the next step and get some software/equipment that will allow me to edit my stuff. I love the live-one shot recording approach, but it really can only go so far. Llloopp, Argo, iamthepcjungulator, and TrackAxPC are sweet low end tools and they've pushed me into evaluation mode. Is this really the direction musically I want to explore? I'm not sure I would have even experimented like this if I had a network of like minded musicians nearby.
Very nice, The wall of sounds in this, the mesh that fits so perfectly together, like a jigsaw. The pieces slotting perfectly together. It just works.
I can say no more.
great pulsing subrhythms and fantastic ... polarity mind twisting squeels and shimmers.
man, this feels like i ate a half ounce of magic mushrooms and wore nothing but a hat and a plastic shovel and i am chasing after that willy hyena who stole my banana
lol
love it, keep doing whatever the hell you are doing lol
The Noize. Check out my gallery for some of my favorite instruments - the geng gongs in particular. The bamboo jaw harp's can make sounds that are inherently psychedelic in nature. Since I discovered them in the mid `90's I've played them a lot in conjunction with a Boss DD-2 digital delay pedal. Playing to/with an effect like that is to me the ultimate in Hi/Low Tech and it's not unlike what I'm trying do do with sampling. Maybe my stuff should be labeled "Retro" - like late neolithic. Grabbing whatever works and I can scavenge up!
The African roots...well, no getting away from that one even if I wanted to.
I still haven't taken any of it very seriously yet. Sincerely, sure (music's about that) but since I'm using other people's samples how can I not give it back? Glad you like what I'm trying to do - the software's creating lot's of limitations, but I suppose in a way it's part of the fun (or drama).
This track for some voodoo rital or some lcd party)
by the way i like it) I feel sooooo high :D
In my view u have to put some groovy bass into it)
great work)) but its to monotonus)
Thanks for the response. I agree, it needs something done, and I think jahknow's tip below is the key. I haven't done anything with it lately (been learning software and obsessing with a remix) but I think I'll turn back to this one next. Cheers.
Thanks and I look forward to checking your tracks out! Funny timing, I just had pulled out my copy of "South Africa Mega Mix" today and see you're from the area. Some bloody good music, both new and old, coming from your zone. Cheers.
I love your work. Totally original. This new track keeps the faith in my opinion. Strange, transcendel, organic and at the same time deeply interesting. Keep them comin'

10 minute songs seem to be some of the best songs huh?

I totally gotta get back to your e-mail, but I love the vibes you give off.
This really lends itself to the senses, and good deep thought.
Altho "Dub" I think I understand the feeling.. I really think it takes an Artist
to make something as intense, and alive like this.
Great track!
