Zootman

Hi Chris.
It's not my kind of music but I think it's an art how you bring everything together in the right way and make the music yourself.
Its realy sad that we need to say that it was made by human and not AI.I fear that human artists of music and videos will soon be a thing of the past when I see how many people now prefer to make and listen to AI music and make AI video clips.

nice guitar work Chris, has a dark mysterious vibe, but a little bit of a zen moment at times, bass is grimy and the drums are cool, nice piece mate

What a psychedelical flight ...
I was missing a huge riff at the end... :-)
hats off,
Danke

Brilliant guitar work!
Cheers, Micky

Amazing drum production
Really well done!

I get the whole guitar thing, man. I have a B.C. Rich Warlock that was a pawn shop special. Like, maybe 99 bucks. It has bad wiring and loose tuning pegs. Honestly, I rarely use it. When I do, it's just to knock out some riff ideas. It's never recorded.
I have a couple of amp sims that I use. For the more industrial type that I do I use Nolly X. It's intended for more high gain metal. For the sludgier metal, and clean sound, I use Amplitube 5.
Honestly, I don't think the price of the guitar, or even the brand really matters. It's all in what you do with it. And what you're doing with it,...it works, man. Keep on keepin' on!

Damn this is a lively track for sure! You really have a nice voice in the psychedelic community. Reminds me of the floyd as usual but you brought your beatbox drum in this and it goes so hard on this. Really digging it man.

Hey Chris, here's a oxymoron for you, the drums and bass gives tremendous weight but the guitar floats. Really nice spacing between all the instruments. The lower hz. range is FLAME! The bell cymbal is strategically placed and that adds to the already ominous tone of the track. This expression of your creativity is way up there.
Peace,
Mark

I wouldn't fret too much about the percieved value of your $150 guitar. I have an expensive Dean Dime from 2008 and I have a blue Washburn i bought at a thrift store last year. Wanna take a guess on which one I have used for 97.3 % of my songs that feature a real guitar? Hint: It is the one whose sound I like alot more than the other. It rhymes with Poshfern.

Good job human. I love rawness of this song.
Good job! Cheers!

Ive figured out part of why these songs are so awesome...its those drum intros, sometimes accompanied by a little feedback, and a touch of grit. I KNOW if I was hearing and seeing this live, there would be at LEAST one huge MF with a Pantera shirt on and an empty beer can in his hand, just watching....but twitching with the barely controlled urge to start a mosh pit. lol. This one could have easily transitioned into a song like that...but Mr. Pantera needed to go get another beer anyways. Trust me, he'll be back lol.

The simplicity here is actually complex, and full. And yes, that IS a true statement lol

Chris, this works, man.
I'm on my first play as I type this, and usually, I wait for at least listen 3 or 4 before I start putting words down, but good lord, man! The tone, texture and attitude of that distorted guitar is absolutely gnarly! I love it.
Typically, I don't really care if a song has vocals or not. I generally don't pay attention to them when they're there anyhow, (just a weird quirk I've always had), but my first thought on this was "Damn, I can almost hear Layne Staley in here." Then, I thought, "ooh even better...our very own Bananalu".
As far as the track itself, top notch, my friend. The mix is crystal, the arrangement, the instrumentation, everything, man. It works.
I love the fact that with the drums and bass, its not really about pushing the song forward as much as it is about carrying weight. The drums arent just keeping time, theyre holding the groove in place. Same with the bass. That lack of complexity is exactly what gives it its gravitas.

I already mentioned the distorted guitar. Man, its just sweaty, gritty, and #####. The clean guitars make the intent of the song quite clear and they keep everything grounded. Nothing feels busy or unnecessary.

I think, really, this track works so well because it uses weight and restraint. It moves slow and confident. The low end does all of the seducing instead of relying on flashy dynamics or excess. Theres a dark, nocturnal sensuality to it, more pressure than motion, and more implication than release. Everything feels intentional and grounded, and that heaviness gives it this intimate, slightly dangerous feel. It doesnt chase your attention at all. It just pulls you in and holds you there.
It's like being F'd up in a dirty, underground-after-midnight bar with broken neon, and concrete floors, knowing you shouldn't be there, but too wasted to care.
Beautifully done, sir! I downloaded it so it can give it a home in my "Dark And Dirty" playlist.
Take care, Chris.

Hello Zootman, great guitar work my friend, I like everything about this....theres a little of a lot of things going on here.....very good stuff, including the percussions.

Nice work Zoot. It would make a great gritty soundtrack for a heavy surf session.

Fresh out of the oven! Loving how crisp it sounds - that guitar stroke is wicked.

Felt slightly Nirvana-ish in places -I can imagine this being used before an intense shoot out in the desert on 'Breaking Bad' - wonderful guitar work and effects.

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

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

Amazing track Zoot !!!! Overall (So I think I don't even need to go into details...) !!!! Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!
What a coincidence, today Manuela wrote in a comment on my youtube channel to give greetings to all of you here in LM !!!!
And I will do so with a song I made based on her vocals! It was my first acapella....
Cheersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss !!

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

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.

This track has such a tranquil vibe which is such a relaxing meditative calming feeling, totally ZEN in nature. You have produced something very special Like this a lot! Kudos!

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.

OOhhh yeah, This one sound really gooood man. Make me feel listening as like Martin Medeski and Wood.
Banger track
Thanks for the trip
