on The elephant and the mouse by Zootman
Wow. Bro....speechless. The song is great. The message is even greater, and kinda caught us off guard. But we're better for having heard it. Thanks Brother!

Never could get the mix right on this I think. But I was happy with the composition.

Man u are great at these kind of tracks - they just kind of take you wherever you want them to go. Its on my to-do list to listen to the rest of your work. Im glad my brother recommended it! great work

A friend described this as misanthropic which is probably about right considering the inspiration was a trip to the subantarctic Auckland Islands which have an amazing story of shipwreck, cannabilism, murder and survival against the odds.

Chris! Listening I realized how much I really miss True Sisters. Manuela and I developed an awesome friendship on the Loop.

As for your work here, justice is done. You showcased the band in grand style. Great job Chris! Faved with no hesitation.

Thank you for taking on this project.

Thanks Mark. Yes she was a great positive influence here and gave a lot of useful feedback to me and many others. As for this track, I wrote the bare bones, Nuela and her band completely re recorded it. Cheers Chris.
ps. Got a track in the pipeline I think maybe you'll dig.

A great foundation track for vocals, solo guitar and other instruments. Or a great ambient track by itself. Nice work. Cosmo

Kia ora thanks for checking this out. Manuela did record some vocals on this one but I haven't got it up any more. You're welcome to mess with it yourself...Cheers Chris.

on Composition 7 by Zootman
Hi, thanks a lot. Yeah it was fun trying to layer all the synths and get it sounding good with just two notes. I'm thinking about doing a piece sometime that only allows you to use two fingers in playing any instruments. The two finger challenge, what do you reckon lol.

WOWW!!! Chris,
This has got to be one of the most finest productions ever on LM. The quality of this floored me seriously, I give creators their dues and man what a beautiful production here. Manu's voice is really nice the whole production is Mint! BRAVOOOO!!!

Zootman replied 9th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Hi there, thanks so much. I only supplied the bones of an initial track/idea really. Manuela and her band need to take the credit. And yes, I love her voice in this one particularly. All the best, Chris.

Hello, good track buddy, I remembered the golden days of Roxette , love it
Zootman
Zootman replied 9th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Thnaks mate, it's considerably changed from the track I sent to Manuela, but much of the basic chord structure is there, and some of the lead guitar is similar too.

Beautiful. Has a kind of Irish folk feeling to it.
Zootman
Zootman replied 9th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Yes, I could almost have put it under folk really. I loved the concept and lyrics they came up with. My original song had no vocals/lyrics but when I heard this I thought it suited the intent of my vibe perfectly. If I ever finish my version, I might even steal the lyrics....

Yeah the production they did on this is pretty awesome. Different, a lot more polished than I would do, but that's fine. Cheers man, Chris.

Fook yeah bro. Good stuff. When stuff like this happens, making music is at its most rewarding. I have a Similar situation with Manuela and a song I was working on. Ive been thinking about finishing it lately and this inspires me to do so even more. Top notch song bro.
Zootman
Zootman replied 9th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Yes I agree, I was resistant initially to doing colabs cause I felt protective and wanted the only input, but I've come to realise it's super constructive to hear what other people do and to be inspired by that. And if it doesn't work, then that's OK too. Cheers man, Chris.

Awesome track))
I very like the ambient ah-ah-aha-ah-ahs
Imo the drums are a bit too loud
Zootman
Zootman replied 10th Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Thanks man, had another listen, I thought the drums were about right. Might have to disagree with you on that one, but always good to have critical comments. That's what it's all about. Cheers Zoot.

This is the type of stuff that I associate with you the most, especially since youre so good at it. There are many uses for this stuff, u should shop it around

Thanks man. I've always appreciated your support. I wouldn't know where to start 'shopping it around' plus who buys music anymore?! Cheers bro.

Bro!
This is too good!!!
Outstanding for some trailer music for example.
I prefer minimal!
Hats off,
Danke

Minimal is the way it will be eventually! I came to that decision too. That's mate and all the best. Chris.

Such a beautiful tune - conjures up images of butterflies opening their wings, walking across sunflowers, ladybirds climbing irises, swallows rising on the swell of a breeze. Your title clashed with my imagery, I guess. Loved the solidity of the bass against the ambient beauty of this track, Zoot
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Thanks for the input K. I like your imagery and agree it better fits the vibe. I was channeling Winnie the Pooh with the title. Anyway, perhaps I'll change it to In Which I See Me Clearly.... Not so negative and it still sounds like a chapter in Winnie the Pooh. All the best Chris.

In our humble opinion, your work is peak when its minimal, but we wouldnt be mad at this getting more attention either. You have a knack for this ambient type of stuff, well done

Hi Glenn, late reply. Been off grid last few days, no connection at all, a rarity in this world and a beautiful thing. I'll finish this when I get the chance..... Cheers brother.
