on to the sea by Zootman
All I can say atm is I am truly glad I gave your older songs a listen. Youre a hero to your daughter, man. And we are glad you shared that with us in the form of this song - not that it wouldnt be good without that part, it just cranks it up a few notches for us. My young daughters are both beginning to want to make music with dad, and this made us think of that.

Make sure you indulge them man, it's fun. I'm jamming a bit with my son at the moment, me on guitar, him on midi drums with bass loop going. Anyway, this track will always have a place in my heart, it captures a moment in time for me.

Getting your daughter involved raises final score to 10.5 out of 10!

on Blood Moon by Zootman
The most Cinematic and visually telling piece that Ive heard of yours so far. Very clear storytelling with distinct chapters and satisfying conclusion. Damn youre very diverse with your productions, dude! Btw if u ever want to do stuff using loops like these, just give us a yell, we'll toss u the whole pack (trust me, we'll have access to it)

Zootman replied 20th Feb 2026 - 6 months ago
Thanks. Fun track to make. Loops can be lots of fun. You're welcome to send a pack of goodies anytime :)

This one sounds so much different then your other stuff - yet it does at the same time. Idk how much sense that makes lol, but its our best description. You should do vocals like this more often, quirky and competent. We Like.

Old track I wrote and played on acoustic guitar for decades. I was always quite pleased with the lyrics. I've played it in all sorts of styles.

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.

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.

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 - 6 months 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

Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 6 months ago
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

Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 6 months ago
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 - 6 months 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
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 6 months ago
Kia Ora, thanks mate. Yeah I'm going to finish it sans drums I think. Soon as I get some time away from work.

Hello Zootman, its sounding pretty darn good, can't wait to hear further enhancements.....very soothing and earthy

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.

Really cool track bro. I like it!
I would like to hear extended version too.
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 6 months ago
Might have to do two! But I think I've decided to stick with my original intent and keep it short and minimal without drums. Possibly partly out of laziness lol. Cheers Chris.

The best thing I can say about this track is that it sounds organic to my ear - as though I just plucked it from a tree, ripened and ready to consume. No adulterants. Just good, wholesome ear-food.

Thanks for sharing.
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 6 months ago
Organic is the best possible descriptor to me. And I agree. When I came up with the little sequence thing that runs all the way thru, that's exactly how it made feel. Thanks a lot.

nice ambient track Chris, got a bit of zen about, love the clicks and pops all the percs work great, lovely melody too, i like the drums but i love a track when the drums don't play right thro too, the synth work alone will easily carry the vibe, so for me, extended it but drop the drums for 4 bars or 8, but bring them back and drop em again, and finish with them quieter or just the melody, these are just thoughts mate, but tbf its all there so however you decide your gonna get a great result because the sound is all there, hope thats a help,nice work nontheless
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 6 months ago
Thanks for the input mate. Some of those clicks and pops aren't supposed to be there, though some are. I'll have to track them down when I take another look at it. I did the tracking for this in about 2 hours at the kitchen table, trying to ignore my domestic duties lol. Anyway I've kind of decided to leave it pretty minimal. Cheers mate.

Nice track, guitars well played (I specifically liked those harmonic notes) in a rather dark scenery which very well supported.
It is an interesting theme, gave to my rather cinematic vibes, there is a mystery somehow.
Best regards, Anthony

Thanks Anthony. I love harmonics on the guitar. So pure. Cheers Zoot.
