Thanks for the listen and comments. I always think I use too much reverb. I'm trying to dial it back but, I agree with you and thought about doing another mix with a little on the sax. Keep checking back for an update. Thanks UE
Wow UE what an entrance! Amazing how you brought that swing in with a ton of energy. Loving the counter balance with the piano chords at the changes. Yep Im feeling where you went here! Peace.
UE! Ok so the slow drag and swag feel! Nice! Sax melodies with the background vocals is very effective. The piano exit is phenomenal! Another fine example of over the top musicianship. Youre an upright bass beast. Peace.
UE! What I just listened to was a well balanced and thought out composition. From the string arrangement to the lovely piano and sprinkling of Rhodes. Here you managed to work in all of your favorite influences from jazz to pop and certain sections had an industrial feel. All in an ambient environment. The next step would be a visual concept. Exceptional work and creativity my friend.
Ah UE! You served those hats extra crispy just the way I like them. The synth melody made me think of a springtime breeze. And what a bright and boss horn arrangement. The bass groove is so in the cut its thrilling. I throughly enjoyed this listen. Keep doing what you do the way youre supposed to my friend. Peace.
Thanks for the listen MT. You know its always appreciated. I think this Logic Pro may take soe time to delve in deep. In the meantime I hope to keep being inspired. Thanks for noticing the horns. The last section in between piano solos is my fav. THANKS AGAIN. STAY COOL. UE
UE! Yep! Mellowness personified. Excellent guitar choices. The bass line is so so good. Also the brass arrangement crowns this fine achievement. Ok so yeah keep it flowing. You have per my ears reached the next level. Peace.
Thanks Mark. I gave this track a listen and notice some glaring glitches. I'm sure you caught them but, time to move on. Thanks for the listen and comment. Peace! UE
Nice and smoky and mellow. Interestingly, I hit the section that Manuela wasn't a fan of but in contrast, and prior to reading her comment, I thought the change up in rhythm was pretty cool.
Thanks for the listen and comments. I also don't mind the change, I find it somewhat surprising but a relief. So subjective! No wrong answers. Thanks again. UE
Hello, I have often spent nights in some hotel bar. When I listened to your song, the memories of it came back to me. Great! I love it when music lets me dream. However, the stretch between about 3:15 and 4:20 is too contrasting for my taste. But luckily you found your way back to the beginning. Kind regards Manuela
UE! Ok, this has a great feel. The horn arrangement is full on over the top. At 1:31 you're for a couple of notes, got me ready for 2:27's swing. The melodies at 2:45 is exactly what's up. The acoustic bass is walking and talking my language. The piano at 3:45 made me misty eyed! The sax and muted trumpet was lethal throughout. Exit on point. This is excellent work, UE. Peace.
Thanks MT. I always look forward to your detailed comments. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. My learning curve with Logic Pro is coming along. I should have some fresh tracks soon. Stay well my friend. All the best to you and yours.
Thanks CGH. Really glad you are enjoying the latest tunes. Thanks for the listen and comments. I think I have learnt some new melody and structure methods. More to come. Thanks again UE
Hey, first, awesome! I've listened to your stuff since you started posting on looperman. This is your best, very clever and cool. And yes seamless to a degree. Thanks, love me some sax
Thanks so much for the listen and comments. I've noticed you as a listener. Appreciated. This one took me some time. As I said, trying to get some meaningful melodies and moments going. Sometimes, difficult with a one man sample band. Again, thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. UE
Absolutely excellent. Didn't expect this at all (I mean I didn't expect this kind of track - I definitely expected something great from you) but I got totally engrossed by the sounds. Very very cool!
Hey BB. Thanks so much for taking the mm:ss: to listen and comment. It was really an emotional ride making this track. I tried some new reverb plugins that are awesome. Peter Gabriel ( new album is outstanding) and Ryuichi Sakamoto are and were two of my favorites. Hoping I did a bit of justice by being on the giant'ss shoulders. Thanks Again UE
UE! You done did it again. The UE groove is in full effect! The smooth twist and turns are all signature from you. Mini Grand? you throughly tickled those virtual ivorys like a BOSS! I'm totally into those revisited changes that start at about 0:33 and throughout. Then this section at the 2 miniute mark is LETHAL my friend. At 2:20 you went BEAST MODE with that groove! Now I'm gonna have to call the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the move you did at 2:39! Yep right to your front door! And you cant hide LOL! If you are by any chance looking at palm trees.......I'm sending them there too! THIS IS MAGNIFENCENT! FAVED!
Thanks man. How are you? I always appreciate your detailed comment. I'm so glad you liked this tune. I spent a lot of time with it try to make better music and better mixes. The Piano Plug in I'm loving these days is from AIR Technologies GmbH called Mini Piano. Really simple not alot of options but a real nice sounding responsive piano. Thanks again man. Peace UE
Also btw have you ever considered doing a collab with Mark/kingmt77? You guys potentially complement each other and you seem to have similar styles... ish?
UE! Ok so this is a really great composition. That saturation on the upper HZ of the drum kit is extra crispy. The piano and bells made me a little misty around the old eye balls..excuse me while I get a Kleenex. Ok UE youre one bad music making machine. Now for the Purdie shuffle.. wonderfully executed my friend. My first exposure to the Purdie shuffle was on The Late Great Aretha Franklins Rock Steady. Fast forward to the 80s with Steely Dan. Also I had an Album by the group Hummingbird where Bernard was practically the front man! He was such a beast in that group I wanted to have him arrested for being too funky! Peace!
Thanks Mark! I appreciate you taking the time and your awesome comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece. I remember the band "Hummingbird". I'm going to do a refresh listen. Babylon Sisters is one of my favorite shuffle examples. So "LA"! Steve Gadd is another of my fav drummers. Check out his new album, I believe it is live. A tune called "Any Moment Now". The album is a study in minimalism. Thanks again UE
What a lovely keys melody and wonderful quiet accompanying chords, then drums... Just a great track overall. Lovely transition at 0:57 and 2:24 is also a great moment. Super, you made my Monday morning!
UE you make great music. Those brushes are in there. The acoustic bass work is serious business. @1:35 definitely a momentary urban vibe but for the rest a nice laid back ride down the country way with a serious pinch of sophistication. You know like if Mercedes made a pick up truck LOL!. The way you placed the background vocals in the mix is musical mastery. And Im really loving all the progressions and changes throughout. An Awesomely good and impressive production my friend.
WOW! Thanks Mark. The comparison to a Mercedes pick-up truck is hilarious. Thanks for the attention to detail in your comments. I am so happy you appreciate the tune as I know you realize how much work goes into each piece of the puzzle. Your tunes and mixes have been an inspiration to me. Thanks again. UE
