Thanks for the vote of confidence Maj! This started out as a rather different track but kind of fell into this form almost by accident. I like accidents. Hope you're on the mend mate.

Who'd have thought it could be so much fun pretending to be someone you aren't. Felt a bit nihilistic hitting you up to listen to this one, but oh well and thanks for the listen. Loved your comment.

This is a great piece as it is. I do love the rolling pads. The bass has a killer tone and it fits so well. Not to take away from your work, but it's too bad Tumbleweed doesn't come around anymore. I'd love to hear what kind of sweet guitar he could lay down with this. I don't know that might be TOO relaxing. It would probably send people into meditative comas. Which, honestly, I could for one of those for about a week. Do a little catch-up down time, ya know?

Anyhow, excellent work. It's in the faves file.
Take care.

Hi there, thanks a lot for the listen and fav! Always good to get some feed back, that's what I love about this wee community. The 'pads' are actually a couple of accoustic guitar tracks. And yes, I know tumbleweeds skills, he's popped up once or twice over the last year or so. I'd love to hear him on this, or anyone for that matter. Thanks again.

Awesome track ! Ive already been a big fan of ambient / chill down. Its really hard to find those lush pad sounds and mix them perfectly, but you’ve nailed it here. Faved for sure
Zootman
Zootman replied 15th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
thanks for the listen, comment and fav man, much appreciated. the 'pad' sound is actually a couple of accoustic guitars played by me, mixed together, double tracked, and panned, with a very long 95% wet reverb/delay on them, plus slowed down by at least a half.

I really like this kind of music, ambient, spacey, ethereal...

It's a nice piece, calming and peaceful, would be good for meditation. Well done!

Zootman replied 15th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
thanks Wayne, yes i find it quite meditative myself. i wonder if somehow our minds realise that the sound source is comes from something physical rather than electronic like from a synth, and that helps with the vibe?

Damn... This is good...

Just a perfect mix of Ambient sounds with that Deeeep Deeeeep
Bass. This is "Soul Music"...

And yes 5min can go by pretty fast when you're in a zone.

Great Track. Faved..

Thanks a lot Mr Jynx (wasn't Jynx a loony tunes cartoon cat?). i struggled to get a bass on this, still not sure I nailed it. Hadda google te ranngimarie! I don't speak te reo Maori but try to use as many words as I can, when I can. Thanks for the listen mate. Tumeke!

superb. the suspension you achieve in this track is real magic. i am taken by the gathering power and also the restraint, this rides the wave all the way thru. the way the bass sits in the mix is a pure vibe, and dude the emanations extracted from the gtrs are spectral and darkangel batshit beautiful. i love how much this in the eno/laswell tradition, but also has a unique and really postpunk postmybloodyvalentine sensibility.
the percussions really stretched the envelope too. fine music, man!

wow Chris this is organic on an epic scale, im horizontal not from smoking pot either. valhalla great plugin, reverb & delay spot on. you could be in a zen garden or yoga retreat, on a dessert island or in the Indian Sumatra and you only have to close your eyes, this could take you to wherever you wish to be great mix bro

Its the kind of music you can hear when you have a yin yang body treatment.
The combination with this kind of music makes you relax.
Well done!!

Thanks Rita, I think it is healthy to try and enter a contemplative state, sometimes things just move too fast.

There is an eno-esque quality about this one from two eras. His early Evening Star, but also "An Ending Ascent".

You kind of melded the aesthetic of both works!

Pretty hard to do ambient and not reference Brian Eno (One Brain) in some way. Thanks for the links, I listened to both, wasn't familiar with either though I have listened to a reasonable amount of Eno's ambient stuff (Ambient 4 and Before/After Science) were a bit of a fav. Thanks for the listen and commented man, much appreciated.

Dude this literally transformed my entire evening. seriously. There's some intangible ingredient in there somewhere....some vibe that wholeheartedly agrees with me. 9/10 on potential AD/HD relief alone. Thanks my guy
Zootman
Zootman replied 12th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
That's great to hear. i have to admit to being quite pleased with the accoustic guitars (the main 'pad' type ingredient). They were slowed down by at least half, then I used valhalla supermassive for a big wet long reverb/delay with the dry audio 99% removed. sounds pretty organic to me, the way it swells, sometimes like strings, sometimes voices, sometimes breathing or sighing. Thanks for the listen and download.

Thanks man. I was pretty happy with this one. Haven't had much time to listen or compose lately, though I did post an ambient thing today, might feature it sometime. I'm also looking forward to another listen to those tracks you sent me! Cheers.

Hey! This is great, the vibe is very cool. This should be in the movie Boogie Nights, lol!!

Great tempo to walk to with some decent headphones so you can hear the bass loud. Vox work perfectly. What can I say that hasn't already been said, sweet track man!

Thanks Terry, definitely a jam. when i listen to it now I'm not sure if the vox/lyrics are a tease or a taunt, but I kinda like the ambiguity. Cheers Chris
