Wow Chris, I see stars, the vastness of the universe! You'd make a first-class crew member on our STAR TRAVELS crew. Unfortunately, it's currently on hiatus... but we'll be back... that much is certain. Fantastic multidimensional track!
Cheers,
Micky

Sign me up as chief scientific officer please! Been listening to kruder and dorfmeister Vienna Arte concert. Sofa Rockers and Rollin on Chrome are great tracks. Have a great break over Christmas and New Year. Chris.

There's a reason i tend to follow my brother's musical recommendations, and its because id otherwise miss out on gems like this. Its hard to explain how i feel about it, but its all positive. Just wish it was like 5 mins longer lol

Man this is different than the last few things ive heard from u, i didnt expect such a deep contemplative piece. but it was definitely welcome. I really enjoyed this one, if anything it could be a bit longer. It took me somewhere and left me there lol. Ah well, wouldnt be the 1st time thats happened to me lmao. Thanks for sharing bro

Brilliant - slight Western feeling and I love the guitars - I can imagine this track being played on a desert scene in Breaking Bad, as they pull up to dig up their money 10/10

Good to hear you're still getting your toes wet brother, as you say good for the mind body and soul - although my body doesn't like winter temps anymore.
I was in Taranaki in about 1998 ish. I stayed for 6 months as my aunty had married a kiwi and he got me some work with him refurbing an oil rig in New Plymouth. I surfed up and down the coast, climbed Mt taranaki and boarded down it with only one day of boarding under my belt - my uncle dragged me up there and he is loose as fuck with safety haha. I absolutely loved NZ but didn't get to see enough of it.
Sending you peace and happy musical vibes bro.

Kia ora, nice to hear your story. I'm on the south coast of the South Island, so doesn't get much colder ha. Taranaki is cool though, was up there a few months ago as my son was surfing in a comp. So surfed Fitzroy, Stent, Rocky Lefts and down at Mangahume. I surfed in England though, spent two summers at Newquay back in the early 90's. Crazy old town then. Cheers Zoot.

I love this. So melodic and relaxed - just what I needed to wake up!

Thanks. I'm on a bit of an enforced hiatus from music, just too busy with work and other things. Got lots of partly recorded tracks tho that mostly need arranging or else vocals and lyrics. Take care, Chris.

Imagined a lot of Chinese People playing xylophones when I heard this - love the bell-esque sounds. Very pleasant indeed

Ckickbait Cabaret thought it sounded like Chinese insects building a dam lol. I think of some sort of hive mind personally. Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks mate. I'll try to check out your track but a bit flat out with work at the moment, plus I'm kinda taking a break from LM.

Chris! This work is over the top. Everything from the silence in between the notes to the ambient sounds in the background. Just EXCELLENT!

Re-visited this today - your voice carries emotion effortlessly and there is such a divine purity in your guitar playing - it is so captivating

on The Dust Off by Zootman
Hey Chris long time no see. Im heading down to Oklahoma soon to live with my mom who beat cancers ass! The guitar in this is beautiful and your voice is so soothing and dusty.

Hey by the way, can you help me make a song? Its in need of guitar and those vocals of yours.
Zootman
Zootman replied 1st Nov 2025 - 3 months ago
Hey, good to hear about your mum, and to hear from you too. Haven't been about an awful lot here on LM. Pretty busy with work trips away at the moment. Away from home most of November so no access to gear etc. but send me a track so I can at least have a listen and see if I hear anything I can contribute. I warn you tho my guitar skills are pretty rudimentary, this track for instance can almost all be played with one finger lol.

on Dark Matter by Zootman
Yeah man. I dig this. That was an interesting, (but pleasant) twist at 2:50. I really liked the massive reverb and the delay in it. It's somewhere between a dream, a memory, and a trip through the clouds without ever leaving your body. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Beautiful work and such very nice depth and space in this mix, an aural pleasure - it's lively as much as ambient and is quite hypnotic and yeah CC is a master when it comes to naming the genre (alt) trip hop. Gotta love an (alt). And Im looking forward to Manu being a better muso than you ; ) ; )

Thanks! Never would have considered trip hop. Yes getting older.... I'm trying to do it gracefully but it's hard !

on Mmmmm by Zootman
Chris, how are ya, man?
I gotta say, I have yet to hear something from you that's less than stellar. I love the contrast between the busy (by comparison) bassline and the ethereal guitar. It kind reminds me of The Orb from back in the day. That's a compliment.
Fine work, my friend.
Take care.
Aaron.

All good here mate. At a surf comp. I don't know whether to be proud or annoyed that my son is almost surfing better than me...Anyway, you're far too kind but much appreciated. This one came together real easy, I like it when that happens. Cheers Chris.

That BASS is up my alley though!
Great instrumentation. You could probably fall a little bit in trip hop. Good one

Back again hey?! The guitar came first actually, played to a click track. Then i found the bass and drum loops, then played various synths and percussions. Pretty simple track even by my standards. Cheers CCC.
