It has a nice flow and rhythm to it. Subtle, relaxing, and the vocals really tie it in nicely. Feels like a good interlude track that could be brought into another song perhaps.
Thanks SSA88 - I was really surprised at how well the vocals fit with this one - what I call "a happy accident." I've been experimenting with a version about 6 minutes long that includes more of the vocals and additional percussion layers. We'll see if it flies.... Thanks for your review, and cheers!
Hippos ARE edgy! True story - when I was 9 my dad and I were chased by a herd of hippos along the edge of the Benue River in Cameroon. They can hit 35 mph on dry land! A truly horrifying experience. Hippos are a personal archetype of big edgy things, and the bass tones in this reflect it.
I would have to say, avantgarde! You may just have a style all of your own man. Very cool stuff! You could add some deeper bass to your material, but I think your sound works good just the way it is. Maximum Props to you Nomad. Keep it up.
A very eclectic peice. Your style sounds alot like an Ambient Dub. Worldly sounding through and through. I feel like I'm encapsulated by a swirling wall of sound. A good processing of your sound. Sweet chillen.
Very middle eastern lounge. Intensely groovey. You can't go wrong with a Dj4Real loop. Nicely mixed. A definite download and Fav. You could loop this tune several times
Very trippy sounding track. i can tell that you put alot of time and effort into this. I wouldn't necessarily call this track is more psy/goa sounding trance then the regular trance i listen to. The ethinic kits used in here enhance the track to its highest potential. i just wish there was some bass or synth somewhere in this. I would suggest putting this song in the ethnic category. Wonderful rendition either way :)
Bass - I've thought the same, too. The genre thing is troublesome, so I think I'll follow the advice from the forum(s) and take a tally - hopefully I'll figure out which genre it actually fits into.
I really like this one, too. It's a strange little tune with its roots in a loot of generic traditions - old skool Industrial, Acid House, etc. Next it's time to sit down and figure out whose loops need credit.
Two loops came from you, so a most gracious thanks from me to you! Seriously, Light Saber became virally infectious and I've obsessed over it for days. Your "dj iq" was what really pulled it together for me. Cheers!
DJ4Real's loop really did make me think about mosaic tile work and chirography and I've always had this thing about Fez, Morocco. I can't think of one without the other.
Thanks. I'm not satisfied with it entirely, but I've been unable to create a better version - yet. I'm going to keep trying. I think I can get the sitar loops to work a little better, and adjust down some of the effects through it all.
This IS the bomb. I love your stuff. Man, this is sweet. The rythm is perfect for the genre. How about calling it Jungletrance. You could be the Jungle-ator. Please keep this up.
Thanks! The genre problem is with me again. I actually spent part of my youth in West Africa and tend to agree with my African friends - music is music. Trance? Ambient? Industrial Dance Noize? A band I was in a few years ago billed ourselves as "Pacific Northwest Folk Punk Music" and nearly came to blows when an International Music Festival organizer labeled our 'genre' as West African Dub Fusion. Go figure!
Haha, I gotta admit your song titles are creative. The imagery alone of the title made me want to check it out. Again, you've managed to incorporate organic sounds into electronic music. Very very cool... again not really trance - this could maybe fall under ambient/experimental? I dunno, I just know I like it ;)
One of my bands was called "The Hybrid Association" and our mission statement was "There are a bunch of people playing music around the world. We're some of those people." I'm posting "Kali with Peanut Sauce" next.
First off, love the title... and deffo have it aptly named. Funny thing is, you've translated your organic music knowledge very well into electronica because this still manages to sound organic. Very cool track... not sure if I'd call it trance myself, perhaps maybe ambient? Trance tends to be 4/4 time with heavy synths... this is much more atmospheric. Lovely :)
Thanks,
I actually considered labeling it as ambient as well, but after listening to a dozen ambient tracks here I thought otherwise. Perhaps I better listen to more!
Very strange, I love it like your other track. Really spacey total originality. The kind of stuff the mainstream music industry ignores. Keep it comin'
