I saw this was up and couldn't wait to find the time to give it a good listen. And for sure it was well time infinitely well repaid. I love the pace of this, your vox are top notch, keys are top notch and the guitar just sings. Man you even got some strings in there too! Its a great composition, I know how much work it takes to get something as complex and well considered as this up and running. So well done man, you've done yourself proud.

Much love!

Hi BaoBou,

Such a sweet! intro & then led into more guitar deliciousness, this is really good! work here and I have to say in music creativity is everything I don't think any hard and fast rules need to be followed that's what makes everyone of us unique right? I never follow the crowd I'll be the trend setter for others to follow if anything, but I like what I'm hearing here & I have to agree with our good friend & brother in music Mark, this just needs a little tightening/sharpening up and you'll really have something. The overall idea is absolutely there so if you continue on this trajectory, you'll certainly have a winner! no doubt. I like your voice too. Kudos!

Thank you so much Angie! Your comments always make my day and so do your tracks. It was absolutely lovely to hear your latest one!

BTW I did update and clean this one up a bit... it's not perfect yet but it's a step better. Step by step, bit by bit... and then on to the next ;)

Your approach really helps and inspires me; no needless tinkering about the last minor detail, no, you make real music, warts and all, and anyone who hears it loves it. Thanks a lot!!

BaoBou. Lovely entrance melody and a solid drum mix that sets the pace. Your guitar adds a layer of life that cannot go unnoticed. Now for your vocals, sorry I absolutely cannot unhear that illustrious Donald Fagen flavor! Just tighten up the overall mix a touch, then push this all the to perfection. For me this is a great track, and thanks for sharing your creativity

Nice track.
With a bit more work on it, this could become a really good track, nevertheless I like it how it is.
The structure is ok for me, I enjoyed listening the whole song ...
Also very good choice of instruments.

BaoBou replied 8th Dec 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks a lot my friend. I think I still want to fix the guitars (some of it is a bit out of tune) and then I think it's ready to go into the world on its own (Looperman is my playground ;) )
Thanks for listening and your comments, much appreciated!

Hi Bao, the basis of your track is promising, I will be careful not to tell you what to do to improve the piece, I think you are qualified enough for that! good job dude!

Haha, please do tell, different people hear different things and being fully objective to your own babies is the hardest thing.
On my list is:
- re-record the drums (made a start with that)
- rewrite and rerecord the vocals (I have the melody now figured out I think)
- I need a stronger climax around 4-4:30
- the second part with the strings is still messy. I'll probably remove the vocals there, and I might delete the entire section (3:04-3:20, roughly).
Anything I missed?

Ahh, my dear B Hello.
You are a brilliant guitarist and a modest man too.
This is a wow, and it has the wow factor.
I hope it's going into Youtube.
I love it
Well done.

Nice work - really well crafted song and the guitar work is a standout - yes sounding somewhere between santana and clapton (but leaning a little more to carlos) but very nice - all the other elements sound very nice too to me also(but Im only listening on the laptop speakers so hard to hear the real quality of the mix and production sound. What I can hear though is a fantastic song and great playing : )

So what I like about this: 1. guitar, you are what you are an awesome bluesy somewhere between clapton and santana, no issues, no worries. 2. I agree on the percussion and drums, but I believe this song could use a tasteful snare here and there, and maybe a fill or 2 as I like the playfulness of going all out and then reigning it back in again. 3. I disagree with Manu about the piano at 1:20. It just sounds like an old upright piano and it gives the tune character. 4. Your vocals are the best Ive heard so far from you. and I like the doubling effect you used, all and all a really good track and fav'd

sung and played with such complete conviction— i wouldn’t change a thing, man. you are like penetrating some far out mysteries here!
thank you for introducing to a new form, the selections you made are masterworks, you give a timeless perf on this. dude did you translate these, that is a hella thing in itself.

Thank you so much man, very moving words!
No, my Japanese is pretty non-existant beyond konnichiwa and sayonara ;)

I based this actually on a Dutch blog post. That guy deserves all the credit, because this is also 1000 year old poetry. penseelvanwind.nl/vallen-op-verval/ is the post - you may not speak Dutch, but you'll see how pretty he shaped the words.

Awesome job, and I tried to capture that spirit.
Thanks again my friend!

You kidnapped Carlos Santana!!

You definitely have enough for an EP, you just need to EQ it a bit to master it i think, maybe a little bit of compression on the master track to blend/glue the rain sample together with the rest of the track.

I use Soundcloud as my distribution service to all other major music streaming platforms. Soundcloud has a 'Pro Unlimited' account where you can ditribute unlimited tracks, you just pay a fixed amount per year but you can ditribute unlimited tracks instead of paying per track to distribute.

Hahaha je hebt mijn geheim ontdekt, yep, hij logeert op mijn bank, vastgeketend aan de verwarming ;)

Goeie tips! Ja dat is geen gek idee, dan kan ik eerst beilig op SOundcloud publiceren, misschien een beetje spelen en tracks uitwisselen, en als ik tevreden ben naar Spotify etc. Goed idee!

Mixing en Mastering is idd niet mn sterke punt :eyeroll: :D ik probeer het te leren, maar het zou helemaal niet gek zijn om 4 tracks te kiezen, exporteren en naar een expert te sturen om er het meeste uit te halen.

Mijn dank is groot!

Again a nice track with voice Baobou!!
I think you have enough for a ep?
And you have a distrobution service to put it on spotify etc?
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 21st Sep 2022 - 3 years ago
Yeah that's what I need to think about. I haven't brought out anything on Spotify/iTunes, but I think it's slowly slowly getting to a decent quality. Maybe clean up a bit more and master it, then pack up 4-5 songs (the poems) and bundle it.
But most likely I'll do that on my Soundcloud first ;)

Gorgeous piece. Smooth and silky. Ooh la la. Sipping my cup of java while I'm listening. Your musicianship is stellar. I dig the timbre of your voice, it has a unique ring to it, and I think it suits the music very well. Look forward to hearing more of your music. Faved.

Hello, my dear friend B.
Or should I have called you Mr. Robert Lee Frost?
Mate in this track your voice is really good and clear but really the ear candy is the sound of your guitar.
I loved it mate.
Great track.
Well done

BaoBou replied 21st Sep 2022 - 3 years ago
Hahaha in this case the credits go to Fujiwara no Akisuke and the Japanese "Shika Wakasu" ;)

Actually the credit maybe goes to a Dutch blogger who wrote a post on these 2 small poems ("word flowers").
penseelvanwind.nl/vallen-op-verval/

He added an image with the graphic representation of rain falling on a car window, and that got me thinking... I made a quick rhythm on the drumset... Some keyboard chords... And then the song wrote itself. Some songs just have a mind of their own.

Thanks for listening and your always positive words Maj! But I need more criticism from you, you have the knowledge after all :)

The material suits your voice well, the track sounds great with it. If I were being picky, I'd say the rain sounds like hail.

BaoBou replied 20th Sep 2022 - 3 years ago
Hahaha picky is good!

Yeah my girlfriend said it sucked, and promoted another clip that I didn't like. I didn't want too "watery" sounds, I don't want people to run off for a pee before I can finish the track. Now I have to start to understand foley too? :D

If you can find a better one here, let me know...:
