Beautiful!!
And yes Manuela is right...the Doors.
The music and everything is really well put together into a killer beat and your voice is amazing here.
A track to be proud of.

Greetings Rita

Shit I'm only just getting started lol. Apart from the cymbals the beat was two loops smushed together. I liked the syncopation and that snare hit on the second beat every couple of bars sounded good to me. Made it kind of lollop along. Let's see what your google translator makes of some of those words!!

Chris i can see the work you put into this, the production is fantastic. it is finely balanced across the whole piece. your vocal is great the processing is fire delay reverb dynanic EQ, your best vocal performance for me, please tell me you you saved the processing chain? and the master channel looks like it had all the bells an whistles on too. love the guitar tone that choral lift at 0.27 is great, the drum work is red hot anything else added would muddy its excellence that bass is gritty AF and the title is sic stunning work bro, no comparisons from me, this is simply CHRISNZ

sounds cool man! i love the way you structured the song. the lyrics are cool too

Zootman replied 18th Sep 2023 - 2 years ago
Hey man, thanks for the listen etc. Glad to hear, coz I struggled with the structure. Felt like it needed another section ie. chorus or variation but I just couldn't work one out. So maybe it just drifts a bit but never mind. Cheers Chris

So funny you mentioning finishing up a song, my new one took me 2 months, life was happening as well but I couldn't wait to get it done and move on, lol.

Great vibe from the start. Neat drumbeat, cool sounding guitars and synths and when the vox started, all the effects, I was sold! Great mix too!

Yeah I need to learn that sometimes it's best just to put stuff aside and work on something else for a while. Come back with fresh ears. I'm starting to do that. Vox FX was guitar rig. It has a great effects bank even if you don't really want to use an amp Sim.

Doors... I will not allow Manuela to make a foreign generational appropriation here! My generation! And the music of this generation is unique, in my opinion not matched by any of the following generations to this day.

But in the matter itself, Manuela is right! It reminds of the Doors - including me, and also immediately. I also don't remember anyone ever coming close to this absolutely unique selling point sound of the Doors in the long run.

Yes, great song, without any reservation!

I think you need to add an instrument, maybe a synth...

Hi Chris im back.
Nice sound.
uhhhmmm you try to to hypnotize us uhmmm ??
I hear a sound that sounds like a mean laugh like you got us and now you can make us do whatever you want lol

About that one track of mine.
I just can't find it anymore.
I'm afraid I put it on my external drive and I can no longer open all the tracks on there.
Not even if I put them back on my PC.
Then you will have to use the MP3.
Sorry.

Zootman replied 15th Sep 2023 - 2 years ago
You are in my power, you will do exactly as I say lol. Was thinking to make another just so I had the chance to call it Pleasant Fucker ha.

No worries about that track, I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to find it. Will see what happens and if I find time or inspiration. Thanks for trying.

Hey Chris, this is a interestingly "hypnotic" composition you have here. I guess you and I on some level share a fondness for creating minimalistic tracks lol! Love the time stretched loop that comes in and out periodically, it adds a nice eerie effect to the track. A very creative, experimental / enjoyable listening experience.

All the best

Greetings, thanks for the listen and fav and for taking the time to comment. Glad you enjoyed. Given your water inspired track here at the moment, maybe you should check out mine...pretty much a love song to water. All the best. Oh, it's called Water Treatment.

For some reason this brought to mind Chinese insects building a dam. The background synth is a bit ominous & lonely. Like Dresden after the Allies bombed the crap out of it. So basically this is Chinese Insects building a dam after a bombing raid. That's why I love this track.

love the ambient charm in the intro Chris the whole track is minimalistic but you added great percs which keep the listener interested it has a haunting feel to it at times nice mix and the outro was cool, well done bro experiments are always good Ian used to always bring them, and because its different, i call it creative, it appeals to me
Zootman
Zootman replied 4th Sep 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks Paul. I find it kind of hypnotic if you listen in a certain way and all the way through. Others might just think it's boring lol.

I really like the old radio sound of the vocals. Really adds a dark level of immersion in the song itself.

The kicks in the first half gives this song a HOUSE-Y vibe. Was this intentional?

Either way, well done

Zootman
Zootman replied 6th Sep 2023 - 2 years ago
The vocals involved my first experiment in automation with the delay/feedback. No real intention as far as the beat was concerned, I just liked it and thought it fitted. Cheers Zoot.

I really like the driving rhythm, it sort of propels you forward, the fuzz and dissonance blurs like the rear view mirror at high speeds but like high beams in fog the bass line cuts the path, so you continue down the winding road, nice journey!

AH !!! THe Passenger, off Lust For Life, Iggy Pop. Siouxsie & the Banshees covered it. It's a classic. Now you did it!! No wonder I love it!! Great job man.

Zootman replied 29th Aug 2023 - 2 years ago
You got it! Very cool to hear you appreciated it. Yes only really the lyrics ripped off, didn't use the actual chord progression of the original obviously. And boy, it's been a while since I thought of Siouxsie and co. Might have to go back and listen again. Cheers.

This is trippy as hell man. Sounds like a radio message from a whiteboy ghetto space station. Like the coolest thing I've heard on LM in awhile. I'm putting this on my Iphone.

Om, Chris. There's something Indian, raga-like about it somehow. Smoke. hmm Can I draw? Incredibly beautifully produced in this idiosyncratic tempo and the economical instrumentation. Few can do that. Time for me to smoke... Groovy

Ha yes have one for me! I guess open tunings lend themselves to that drone. Thanks Micky.
