on Passenger by Zootman
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.

on Passenger by Zootman
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 replied 15th May 2023 - 3 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 - 3 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!

This was a great listen, love that raw upfront guitar.
Pseudoble vocals sounds great on this.

Great job on the track.

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
Zootman replied 9th May 2023 - 3 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
Zootman replied 8th May 2023 - 3 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.

I really like this, it's trippy and makes you feel like your not sober at the same time. Nice work!

Zootman replied 4th May 2023 - 3 years ago
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 - 3 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...

Damn, Zoot,

I didn't get 3 sec into the track
before I had to go to the comments.
More in 2:38 sec.

Just like Wayne, I hear some Doors, but
that out front Guitar and occidental FX
is all you. Beautiful beautiful track. I
wasn't looking at the waveform while I was
listening. I had really hoped what was sounding
like the end of the track wasn't the end of the track
but.......

Great track. Faved.. te rangimarie from the topside...

Tumeke Mr Jynxz and peace to you too! Love your comment. I really wanted to sing on this but could find neither time nor inspiration. But I reckon Pseudoble came up with the goods to help me out, as he often does. Och aye.

I like this, reminds me of the trippy feeling the Doors would achieve in some of their songs. It has a "smokey" mix meaning it has a haziness, blurry almost feel to it, trippy. Looking for the pipe now, lol!

Great mix, not over compressed, lots of space, just right!

Hey Wayne, thanks a lot. I reckon the pedigree of this is firmly rooted in stoner garage band land. Thanks for listening as always, Chris

Awesome Zootman, great buttery vocal and nice chilled guitar playing. Nice mix on this one as well, the guitar almost sounds subtle against the vocal, good job for not over cooking the levels, sounds great ! :)
Zootman
Zootman replied 6th Apr 2023 - 3 years ago
Thanks for the nice comment! I probably fluked the balance between vox and guitar given I had the two mics (1 condenser and 1 dynamic) positioned to try and capture both at once. Took a bit of compression to get on top of some of the peaks but yeah, the problem with the earlier version was a bit of clipping. I'm still very much learning the production stuff.
