Trippy man. Reminds me of the hippy drug music from way back in the day. Loose. Really loose.

Great use of three and swing values to get that time signature ambiguity.
Nice droning guitar, vocals, and general mix.

Thanks BOD. Time signature ambiguity comes easy to me given my general lack of rhythm. But yeah, I do like odd timing.

on Passenger by Zootman
Hey Chris, ive been on a listening streak today, and caught up on some more of your work. How would you feel about sending me some stems? I prefer new/unused work but i wont be picky here. I can work with any key but i prefer bpm between 110-150, or halftime. Lmk, my friend. Youve put out some really nice work! Keep it up. -Aaron

Hey Aaron. Thanks for having a listen bro. Any stems in particular from these tracks or something new? Instruments or vox?

Cool track. Like the rhythm and this git and the sax is really great too. Nice!

Very masterfully done. This is what a real instrumental should sound like. It stands up on its own as an in-depth nonsystematic musical masterpiece, meaning there is righteous and adept order in the chaos of the arrangement. The Vox brings the whole thing front and center. Great fxs work too. Saturation/Distortion parts are perfect. Great final Master. Well done!

Greetings and thanks for your lovely comment. I couldn't decide on a structure for this but in the end went for a devolution into chaos as you eloquently point out. As for the guitar fx, I recently sprung the cash for the full version of guitar rig pro, glad I did as the fx bank is superb and will keep me busy for years I think! Cheers from down under.

what a psychedelic ride ... fantastic trip but let that last note flying more ... hope, you know, what I mean ...

Zootman replied 11th Jun 2023 - 2 years ago
HI Danke, yeah I know what you mean. The ending was some sort of artefact I just went with, but you're right, it needs to go for longer. Not sure I'll come back to this one though. And man, gotta say again, I loved that last lofi one you put up. It's lofi and some of the sounds are lofi, but not the usual drifty type of thing - yours had a darkness to it I thought.

Dark, urban, smokey bar, desolate feeling. And also could be the theme song for a tv cop show. If you go back into it, I would also turn up the level of the vocals. Nice low end!

The Passenger is one of my fav Iggy tunes, btw.

Yeah it's a great song. Bowie produced it I think, and played piano on it apparently, though to be honest, I can't remember a piano in it!! Cheers man.

nice work Chris, such a deep vibe you created with this work, i like the vocal stolen from iggy or not, its got a great pace setting beat and that snare is tight, so this is DUNK, im a fan bro

Thanks Paul, wasn't sure about it, sometimes I thought it was good, other times maybe lacking some proper structure. Might come back to it...Cheers man.

I know I favorited this song earlier... I just didn't remember if I commented on it or not, so now I will lol

Both you and Pseudoble created an incredible piece.

You know if feels like an interlude session of a live concert where you had this incredible song before hand, and then as the song winds down, you work your way into this one, and it just becomes this trippy space indie subsection that you can see the crowd just swaying back and forth feeling this music, and as you finish this up, you go into the next song.

I was born in '82, and this reminds me of growing up in the 90s.

This is not an exaggeration:

This is the best indie grundge song I have heard on looperman.
Zootman
Zootman replied 15th May 2023 - 2 years ago
Well that's an amazing comment, thank you very much. The main guitar part is pretty rudimentary but I figured it did all it needed to...in fact, I'm pretty sure I stayed on one fret and didn't have to move more than a couple of fingers to play it lol. I listened to your dnb track asking for vocals by the way. Very cool track, if I was a better singer I'd have a crack at it. Thanks again, Chris.

For a second I thought I was listening to the Deftones! Cerebral track. Excellent!

Zootman replied 15th May 2023 - 2 years ago
Ha, yes, I checked out the Deftones as I hadn't heard of them. But I think I need to delve into them more deeply. Thanks for the tip!

Hi there, thanks man. I generally listen to your tracks on this site, but don't comment very often, mainly because often they are in genres I don't listen to much as a rule, or know much about. But I respect and hear the quality of what you do regardless. Anyway, that said, thanks a lot for the listen and comment, always appreciated.

A collab between 2 of my favs on looperman? Count me in. This has an almost grungy feel to it, something i dont hear in music often these days. Exeptional song.

Hey there, thanks man. Yes I love pseodobles work too. It always surprises me that he doesn't get more kudos. I think he should. Thanks for listening and commenting bro.

What an incredible piece of music here ... maaaan, this is more than awesome ... that psychedelic flight is dreamy ... vocal is bloody brilliant as the humble music ... really one of the best track in Looperman's history ... all my hats off ...
Danke

Zootman replied 9th May 2023 - 2 years ago
Greetings Danke, muchos gracias for your amazing comment. I was genuinely 50/50 on whether this one was good, bad or indifferent. I hoped it was good obviously, but it is so good to get some affirmation from yourself who I have great respect for as a musician and human being. There were two main inspirations. One was your use of alternate tunings (this is in double drop D) - in all the years I've been playing guitar I'd never tried this. The other inspiration for the guitar at least, was Nick Caves track Higgs Boson Blues. I loved the minimal but evolving guitar that underpins that track.

This is awesome! The vox sit nicely over the instrumental. It probably helps that im a bit high. lol

Zootman replied 8th May 2023 - 2 years ago
Ha ha yes, I'm starting to realise that sometimes being high doesn't work cause everything sounds wicked. Can be good inspiration though sometimes. Cheers man.

Hi Jonathan, thanks for listening. Probably the vibe I was after! It's definitely not perfect, I think the vox are off here and there, probably the guitar too. Maybe I'll do some more on it. Cheers Chris.

Hey mate - wondering when you were going to post this one - sounds great, you fitted that vox in really well but the guitars are the star of this one - sound amazing, very cool track
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd May 2023 - 2 years ago
Cheers man, thanks heaps for the sample. The main guitar gave me heaps of trouble, it's hard to play so slow, for me at least, plus I edited the drum loop into some sort of weird six beat time signature...
