Cheers man, I love your enthusiasm! I was pretty happy with the vocal, getting into using my condenser mic again and with basic nektar vst they're coming up pretty clear in the mix which is good. I've struggled with how to process vox in the past.

for me it's much more psychedelic than funk, but it could be my problem ... huge organ and great groovy over here ... kinda live feeling with too many green things at the background ... :-)
fistbump, Danke

yeah i couldn't decide what to call it. no green things in the background but yep it probably sounds like it. Cheers for the listen and fav, much appreciated.

Hi, thanks man. The keys were actually Addictive Keys electric piano but played with lots of modulation wheel. I go turned onto Can about 35 years ago and they've been a constant musical companion ever since. Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi and Future Days probably my favourites. I have to say I'm still intrigued by your computer generated tracks, I think that's fascinating. Just listened to this this morning, I think I'm going to try it out writing lyrics!

This has nothing to do with the name lol but has the 2nd coming from the stone roses i think its your vocals that made me think that or the wah guitar.

ACE TRACK.

dude you gotta stop taking the Lords name in vain. Cheers man, this was a jam from start to finish really, one take on keys (no quantization), synth, mostly one take on vox, couple on guitar. then it was just a matter of making holes in it so to speak.

This song gives me distinct Tom Waits vibes. The sparse texture, the sultry, dark vocals and the poetic but visceral lyrics. Great stuff sir!
Zootman
Zootman replied 13th Jun 2022 - 3 years ago
Thank you very much, I could imagine the Tom Waits using a similar sort of beat (sixteen shells from a 30-06 maybe), but it would be full of him banging tin lids etc! Thanks for the listen and comment.

Hey Chris - nice chill atmospheric start with those gently congas and lilting melodic backing vox and nice slide into the more up tempo main body with some nice almost jazzy synth work woven in with those beautiful melodic elements lifting us higher before we float back down again. Nice little trip here : )

Zootman replied 10th May 2022 - 3 years ago
Kia ora Ian, thanks a lot. Played that synth in one hit, didn't really edit it at all. Been in an out of the hills a lot lately so need to catch up with whats been happening. churr.

beautiful use of cyclic atmospheres, cloud-forest vortices, clockwork metal birds glide a future after the anthropocecene. gorgeous changes and that syn lead is blissy, mate!

I really like the depth and spaceyness of the beginning.
I'm also a big fan of those sultry type of Female vocals.
I have used that Laurentwirz Drum sample before, it really
gets things moving.
The Synth and Bass were super nice.
The way the Keys kept you in a delicious suspense.
And then it was over. That was the fastest 4 min ever.
I had to listen to it again to be sure it hadn't skipped somehow.

Great Track. Faved..

PEACE...

Hi J, thanks heaps for listening and the fav. I wasn't too sure about this track, maybe a bit random, maybe a bit boring but sounds like u thought it was ok. I tell you, after listening to the LM tracks I heard this morning that were so good and creative I started feeling like an imposter, putting my stuff up here. So thanks again.

Hey Chris.
Lovely synth work mate.
I think it is a great track mate.
Well done.

Yo, thanks for the listen Maj. a bit schizoid maybe but never mind. Had a crack at sidechaining the bass with the drum track (for the first time) but not sure it really did anything! Maybe it needs to be triggered specifically by an isolated kick track.

It's like two different songs, beautifully chill in the beginning, and then it's like you had that double espresso, but it wears off and your chill again. Kind of a good musical metaphor for many people's lives on a daily basis my friend. Well done.

Zootman replied 22nd Apr 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks man, actually I was intending to make some sort of funk thing inspired by Jynx and others but it didn't turn out that way!

Great bongo Chris, the echo is tingling, very calming love Zoso's comment, great jump in tempo with the snare and that chant is dreamy, lovely soft outro
Zootman
Zootman replied 22nd Apr 2022 - 3 years ago
Hey Paul, yeah I really liked those two bongo loops. One kind of sounds like rain pitter pattering, at least to me.

To my amateur ears it sounds well cohesive.
I had 1 time a face treatment with this kind of soothing music up to 1:53.
I think after 1:53 I would have a cocktail in between lol.
Very nicely put everything together.

Jupiter's moon Europa with methane rivers, yes I know it. Nice track for sure Zootman. Love the buoy sound that dings in. It seems we are ahead of our time, maybe NASA or Musk seeks this out for when they are going to the moon to conquer it. Maybe they are mistaken in for some signs of alien life right now. Maybe the Men in Black will knock on your door sometime soon.
