on jesus has a mighty sword by Zootman
Dude I have listened to this 5 times today. The EXACT vibe at the EXACT time I needed it. Thank you so much for this! It almost has a Gorillaz or Cake-ish sound to it. Not remotely a bad thing.

I'm glad to hear it man. I've emailed you via Looperman and given you my email address. Send me yours and I'll flick you the vocal stems. All I ask is if you make something with it, that you share it with me too! Cheers Chris

this is so fresh Chris got a hip hop bounce in there with that jazz, the title is cool AF. another great vocal mate, it appealled to me and my situation over the last year or so with work colleagues, all gutless pricks, no more fuck with me now, i threatened them, and walked out. not the cleverest thing, but i dont do clever, just reality.
thats why ive been quiet of late, lost my mojo a bit, not been in the mood even though i got my upgrade, i aint done nothing.
but ive done a bit of listening today and this and others have perked me up in the 30 degree uk sun, yep its red hot. and to top it, the start of my cities dance and street art festival, last year was great.
cool listen for me for sure, there is daring in it just like me

woah man, heatwave. good luck with the dance comp bro. and sorry to hear about the job, I remember you being pretty excited about getting it a while back :( Hope we'll hear something new from you soon but you know, if the inspiration isn't there sometimes its best just to accept that. Then one day..boom, something emerges out of nothing.

Get down!

Nice swampy vibe, great playing all round (esp the guitar and keys), great vocal performance, lyric made me smile, great sound, cool beats.

When are you touring? Im buying a ticket ; )
Zootman
Zootman replied 19th Jun 2022 - 3 years ago
swampy yes, you know no-one has ever lost out combining the themes of sex and religion, thinking of the Reverend Al Green, Madonna and probably many others. I was pretty happy with the lyrics too, such as they are!

This song is a mix of so many things that I would have never thought worked together. Not only did you make it work but you did it in the greatest way possible, smooth like a criminal. It's like rock, jazz, and a little sprinkle of hip hop all bundled into one. Great work here!

This is like Stereo MCs got ahold of a Tom Waits tune, turned it into a funkcicle and had Ray Manzarek lick it.

Cool, man. I dig it.

Take care.

Very cool. At some points you flirt with total chaos but that's part of it I think and you manage to bring it all back to a great sound. Well worth a listen (or 2, or 3).

Zootman replied 15th Jun 2022 - 3 years ago
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

Zootman replied 13th Jun 2022 - 3 years ago
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.
jesus this is up there with the best man really enjoyed this track makes me want to be in a smokey club jaming with you to this :)
ACE TRACK.

Zootman replied 13th Jun 2022 - 3 years ago
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 - 4 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.

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.

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

Hey Paul, yeah I really liked those two bongo loops. One kind of sounds like rain pitter pattering, at least to me.
