I love field recordings. The synth on this is awesome, really adds to the overall feeling of the track. Great track. I really like it.

Thanks, I especially liked the thump on the stainless sculpture, very satisfying sound!

Beautiful laid back reggae - has a Gregory Isac's feeling (night Nurse) I love it and I love your voice - you are just being you and not trying to sound like anyone ;)
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 8 months ago
Ha, thanks a lot! Yes I still have time to listen to this one from time to time so I guess that's a good sign. Not much point trying to sound like anyone else I reckon. The two of you are the same I'd say, you have your own unique style. Cheers Chris

Reminds me of Ennio Morricone - this is beautiful - I cannot fathom that you could possibly need to change anything
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 8 months ago
Hi again, I had to google Ennio. Interesting....Danke said it sounded like a Tarantino soundtrack so maybe there's something to that. And yeah, I'd probably spoil it if I tried to sing but that probably won't stop me lol. Cheers Chris.

I don't know, man. I think it's perfect just as it is. It would be a good interlude between tracks on an album. I think, though, that if there were vocals, Beth Gibbons would be the only option. Actually, on my third listen through, I can also hear Gilmour and/or Waters as well. In fact, this does have a very Pink Floyd feel to it without it sounding like an imitation.
Good work as always. I like the way you do things.
Take care.

Kia ora V, nice to hear from you as always. I had to google Beth Gibbons but then it said singer from Portishead and of course I know them. I've been hearing a bit of Nick Cave myself but there you go. I'll take either. Hope to catch up on some LM listening in the next day or two myself. Cheers Zoot.

This is so cool, it almost feels like a trek across an arid desert. Constant visions and mirages of oasis, water just out of reach! Great stuff man, would be very interested in hearing a vocal on this at somepoint too ;)
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 8 months ago
I like your desert vision, in fact some of the words I've been writing reference just that. So we'll have to see how that goes. I'll probably ruin it with my vocals but hey ho. Cheers Zoot.

Hi Chris, that's another beautiful track from you. And as always, it strikes me as absolutely cinematic; it exudes the expansiveness typical of your work. I feel like it reflects the wonderful, expansive nature in which you live. The mix and master are also super transparent. Great work.
Best regards,
Micky
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 8 months ago
Hi Micky, thanks as always mate. A few other people have been saying 'cinematic' too so maybe there's something there. Been away a few days so hopefully catch up on some listening myself soon. Cheers Chris

Although the sound is real contemporary and very well put together to a beautiful song, there were times that the Beatles came in my mind. This is something good for me and please by no means consider it as something else.
Very well done.
My regards, Anthony

Zootman replied 20th May 2025 - 8 months ago
Hello Anthony, I'd never complain about anything, let alone a Beatles reference. All the best, Chris.

Thanks mate, here's hoping I get around to it. Sometimes I struggle to produce lyrics, it's my downfall, caring too much about words. Cheers Zoot.

Man, it was surprisingly hard to play in 3/4 time lol. It's a weird strum pattern. Cheers man, Chris.

Hello Zootman, just listened to your latest track and found it interesting and pretty imaginative and definitely open to some vocal enhancements....I look forward to that. I think its gonna be dam good if you proceed with vocals.....good work brother.
Zootman
Zootman replied 19th May 2025 - 8 months ago
Interesting is probably a good way to describe it. Hopefully I get around to doing the vocal. Thanks for listening, as always. cheers Zoot.

Good to hear some cool ambience. In the meantime I'm not able to make any new music but in the past 14 years made some ambience too. Like your mood and the tasty guitars in this composition. :-)

Hi Chris.
So peacefull and beautiful ,
I think i can fall in sleep with this.
For the couples sexy dance and more lol
And for the drinkers a chill evening with a glass of wine.
For the blowers chilling with smoking a joint.
Well done mister.

Hey Zoot,
when I want to unwind or daydream, I have to listen to this. What a relaxing piece. The description is accurate. Well done. Occasionally, when the guitar plays, I hear a hint of The Doors.
Greetings

Wow, this is a great track. I love the drums and guitar on this, it's very dream like. The drum sound/FX is excellent. Relaxed pace, great melody and a polished production too. Great work.
Zootman
Zootman replied 12th May 2025 - 9 months ago
Hi there, thanks so much. I was happy with it, it just seemed to write itself this one. Can't take any credit for the drums, they were two Splice loops and not even edited lol. But I think it started with the drums, then the bass strangely enough. Guitars and synths came last.

I'm down to one ear thanks to a surfing accident, which believe me is worse than mono. So I might not catch up on your stuff right at the moment sorry.

All the best, Zoot.

Love the Louis Armstrong vibe with the reggae beats - really superb

Hey cheers!! I've never been happy with the mix of that track. Funnily enough I had been thinking about going back to it and trying to improve it with my additional knowledge, cause its one of my favs too. Problem is, I've got so many different renders and copies of projects for it, that it would be hard to know where to start lol. Thanks Chris

Great track! It's minimal but there are enough melody bits to keep things interesting. Great guitar sounds as well

Hello, thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it and that you took time to comment. Have to confess I'm using an amp sim (guitar rig) and not a real amp. Kudos to anyone doing is for real!!
