Has a 60's era folk feel to it. Ad a synth track & some dramatic, middle eastern type percussion & this could easily morph into a Dead Can Dance kind of sound.

brilliant as always ... no need to do anything with it ... shines in it's brightness alone ... moody, positive, energy filler ...

Nothing like an acoustic git and a singer. Singer/songwriter music is my passion. It makes the performer vulnerable and exposed and the ability of that person to write now becomes very important as the song needs to hold it's weight with so little going on.

I think it sounds fine, the acoustic has some nice reverb on it. I usually always record the instruments and singing separately, for mixing purposes, it's easier I think. You did a great job for recording and playing all at once. Dig the lyrics too!

yeah a bit like finding yourself naked in public eh! Separate would definitely be easier for mixing etc but then when u sing you've got to work out where the words are supposed to go and i find that hard, specially like in this one with no real steady beat. guess its a trade off in spontaneity and other things. Anyways, i appreciate your time and comments, thanks.

Hello Mate,
Wow, this is brilliant the guitar and the vocal.
Well done my friend.

Great job

Hi Maj, very glad you enjoyed it. Sure be great if you want to have a crack at it. I'll message you as I'm not sure how to go about it. Also, it was recorded live onto 2 mics so I guess you can't really separate the guitar from the vocal. but you know much more about this than i do i'm sure :)

Zootman replied 16th Jun 2021 - 5 years ago
Thanks I'd hesitate to give that label to myself, it took at least 12 takes to get this little thing half right lol. Besides, whether you're writing and playing something from scratch, or using loops and samples, u still gotta have some sort of an ear. Which u obviously have in abundance.

Me personally I think there's two categories of producers if you want to call it on here. And I call myself a creator. But you and many others a real artist. Real producers of the industry. Excellent bravo. Well put together. Love the story line. So much music I listen to but I don't know how to create it. And this track and type is one of them. My main vibe is hip hop but tracks like these are the go to. To take my mind and soul away.

hey Zoots! haha, let’s see what this ##### can do! really cool structure to this, it’s delicious slipping from equipoise to a juxtaposed dimension that brings a whack counterpoint to yr daughter’s well-chosen ambient sounds.
have you seen the movie “a mighty wind” — this had me thinking of the band whose LPs didn’t have a hole in the middle. great stuff, man!

Zootman replied 31st May 2021 - 5 years ago
equipoise to juxtaposed dimension....u have a great turn of phrase man, don't know how you do it. yeah, blindwolf, love his voice and music. don't know if you listened to his 'one on one' exposition on distortion pedals - its great.

I tuned in at 0:01, love the guitar entrance at 0:20, very mysterious piece, interesting arrangement at 2:20 but that is drum and bass for you. I actually enjoyed this track and for that reason, I have to fav it. Good job!

Greetings, this sound is prety weird for my taste. But in a way i do dig it. Still the mixing proces need some gentle touches none the less. It sure sounded trippy enough for me. Not a fan of the dubstep part but still a ok track i suppose. Anyway keep on listening and creating. Have a good one though.
Zootman
Zootman replied 27th May 2021 - 5 years ago
Thanks, I quite like challenging myself and listening to genres I wouldn't normally. I think that's a good exercise in listening critically and thinking about what works and what doesn't. Having said that I hadda google and read what dubstep supposed to sound like! Will try some on the ears now.cheers for listen and comment

Man, I really dig that Ambient/Evolving sound at the beginning.
Didn't expect such a drastic changeup 3/4 of the way through.
Your Daughter has Madd Synth skills.

Great track.

PEACE...

Zootman replied 27th May 2021 - 5 years ago
Haha that was her with the wee accordion sounding bit at the change over. The ambient section started with that but this is a remix of her track, she chose the loops. She reckons hers is better.

Nice change up @ 2:15. Love the bass progression in the first half. Makes me think about spaceships docking at space stations. A bit of a Kraftwerk thing perhaps. Great job man.

Yeah, nice use of brass. I Like the wet surfer reverb on the rim click. Telephone was perfect randomly in the guitar solo, also liked the dark scale use around the same time.

Nice work, fun to listen to. Well mixed. Well done.

This is such a groovy track! nice find with those trumpet loops, all of the pieces feel really intelligently blended, by the way I love how many different musical styles I've seen you experiment with on here, very impressive! keep up the chill work!

Hey thanks so much. Yeah i lucked into those brass loops alright. That's me, a jack of all trades and master of none, nah I guess my tracks on here reflect the variety of what I enjoy listening to. Shouldn't be any boundaries eh?!
