Nice warm sounds. I am always surprised (and pleased) to hear some real synth-sounds.
Little track that works very well with the picture.

cool sounds, I love using old equipment. Roland made some good stuff back then.

is/was BOSS a roland brand? glad you liked it anyway. I was using the module years ago with an EWI (electronic wind instrument). never used it for recording.

Nice piece but i couldn't view the picture for some reason. I just kept getting "page not found" ah well like i say the piece was nice. Kind of reminded me of something from Flash Gordon.
Short but sweet.

yea. my site is changing hosts and it is down right now. sorry about that. funny you should say that about Flash Gordon. Someone at work mentioned Dr. Who. thanks for the review. appreciate it.

Hey, very cool and enjoyable ambient here, and I think it works with the photo. I don't know if I'm looking at the wrong photo or what, but it just looks like a normal cloud to me... hmmm. Really had a good time listening friend!

DanGoldstein replied 11th Jan 2015 - 11 years ago

U r right. I actually spoke with the photographer and she confirmed that it was a cloud. I thought one of the streaks was from a plane.. I actually have very little experience mixing these old synth pads so it has been interesting. The profile you set up over on my site looks cool. Thanks for taking care of it. Regards, Dan.

There's a real depth to this piece Dan, I'm really looking forward to hearing more.

DanGoldstein replied 9th Jan 2015 - 11 years ago

thanks Kenny. still wandering in the dark with this one but that's the way they usually start. regards.

Fits the picture nicely :D i downloaded this to add a few sounds that'd you hear at sunset standing by a lake. Leave it to the nuclear power plants to ruin the beauty of such a place. Scary....

DanGoldstein replied 7th Jan 2015 - 11 years ago

i saw the photographer at work today. turns out this off the New Jersey coast somewhere near Bayonne and she did not even remember the smokestack let alone if it is from a nuke plant! let me know what you are coming up with. I'm working on another bit for it.

Very cool man. Can't wait to get started on the complimentary art for the song. Sounds deep. Def on the industrial side of christmas. Gj

DanGoldstein replied 5th Jan 2015 - 11 years ago

i'm stoked you liked the track. looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Dan

That is not a thought, I even want to consider...Nuke plant- Jet stream...
I understand it's reality, just some how I wish it never was...

Good sound...

Peace...TG.

DanGoldstein replied 5th Jan 2015 - 11 years ago

I can appreciate the feeling about the nuclear plants. When I see the one near us it is always creepy as hell, especially since it melted down once.

Having said that, I may be mistaken on the smokestack in the pic. Here is the pic.

the photographer - Shelley Neff - is from my neck of the woods. We have that 3 Mile Island Nuke facility near us and i was thinking that was the shot.

Very strange and different. But it is unique and interesting. I also like the fast pace.

DanGoldstein replied 2nd Jan 2015 - 11 years ago

hey cozmic! maybe part of the strangeness is the harmony. I get used to my own nonsense and it starts sounding normal to me! i'm really happy you got into it a little. thanks very much for the visit and comment. later . . . Dan

Are you a goblin from World of Warcraft? It sounds like it

DanGoldstein replied 1st Jan 2015 - 11 years ago

yup. that is a good visual for the scratch.

crucethus 31st Dec 2014 16:03 - 11 years ago

on industrial sleigh ride by DanGoldstein

Clearly has an industrial vibe to it. Very trippy then comes a very dissonant funk sound. your choice of chords structure is most interesting. I liked this one.
Cru

DanGoldstein replied 31st Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

i am really glad you had a chance to check out the track, cru. it is about as deep as I have gone so far with the percs. the "industrial" genre designation was pretty much after the fact as i still have no clue about genres, let alone control over writing in them. thanks VERY much for the positive review.

really liked the mechanical feel of this song. Also liked the repetitive drum beat that played over and over. Really gave it a more "robotic" kind of feel.
Well done,

Rico L.

DanGoldstein replied 31st Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

it's an interesting comment. maybe that's why I was thinking "industrial" for the genre. anyway - thanks for stopping by and glad you liked it!

Well that was different.. In a good way! Lots of instruments, very fun and exciting! It was like I was on the crazy musical ride.

Good times!

DanGoldstein replied 31st Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

I'm glad you felt the "ride" aspect of it. I'm happy you got into it. Thanks!

Hi Dan, loving the different sounds on this, some great experimentation and changes. Good beat throughout, nice one.
take care,
Mark

DanGoldstein replied 31st Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

thanks Mark. I never learned my theory in college and never got near drums, so experimentation is about all that's left for me! thanks for stopping by!

hi Dan,
I really enjoyed listening to this again eventhough it is no longer the same track! I find it very funky even more now. Maybe it is too much 'computerized' but I love the unexpected direction it takes. The reverb and the ambiance reminds me of some mysterious temple again which is nice.
I enjoyed following your creative journey again! Thanks for some great inspiration.
Alex

DanGoldstein replied 31st Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

yea - the tracks tend to evolve. plus I don't have much control over how they evolve. I just try to keep up with the demon inside. thanks for coming back for more! best wishes. Dan

Greetz!

DanGoldstein replied 26th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

thanks for checking things out dj. glad if it started you thinking on some possibilities for your own work. regards - Dan

Well I've already commented on this but who says we can't go twice? Love what you've done with the drums, panning and reverbs. Have you updated this? It sounds different or maybe it's just me. Reminds me a little of orbital. Love the minor key chord structures, it sounds pretty twisted.
Every time I listen to your stuff I think you've improved and this is no exception. There's loads going on, the melody is weird but it works and I really like it.

DanGoldstein replied 25th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

i'm very glad you came back FR. Yea - it's an update. still some spaces to fill in here and there. I do feel more control over the mixing these days and it means a lot that you notice improvement from track to track. I'm pretty happy with the perc mix. I just feel it is the wrong set. Thanks again.

This way to your car Mr. Zappa, lol.

This did remind me of something he would have done. Just throw in some bicycle played with a bow and some trashcan and you will be touted as a genius. ;)

Lyrics too? That should be interesting. Can't wait to see where you take this.

DanGoldstein replied 23rd Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

long live phi zappa crappa. honestly he is a compositional hero of mine. why don't you download this puppy and graffiti it up a little?!

let it not be said that midispark`s place here on the Loop is where you listen to the mundane everyday musical stuff...def experimental is the truest sence...with a sprinkle of funk keys..and a bucket of creative imagination..& that is an unusual key prog sequence you have going on...would have to be an acquired taste I think as far as listening pref goes but has to be tops of the year for the "Something Really Different" award....way to go midisparks...keep on......Ed

DanGoldstein replied 23rd Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

appreciate it Ed. I never really learned my theory as I should have so I've had no choice but to make it up as I go along. I'm glad if I can challenge a bit the SQ, but really my comp has been nurtured on this site by folks like you and a host of others.

Did you lace Santa's cookies with illicit drugs again? LOL! Is this with that gore beat you sent? Alex's comment confused me, I know of Gore metal, the idea there is to be as disgusting and shocking as possible, Cannibal Corpse is a great example of that. Nice one Dan :D

DanGoldstein replied 23rd Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

I need to listen to Cannibal Corpse. yea - I believe I shared the scratch beat with you a while back. naw - I think at some point I was trying to write something for somebody else's beat and it had the word "gore" in it, but it has nothing to do with the track really. More along the lines of lacing Santa's egg nog. thanks man.

This is very promissing preview...creativity and originality
are undoubtedly prominent here...and percussion bits are
breathtakingly adventurous...good platform for further development of the track!

hi, orlando

I'm a bit stoned right now so I found this really trippy and twisted. You've come up with some ace swooshing noises from scratch and created a background that I think would be good in a video game. It's an intense sound and I enjoyed it.
FR

DanGoldstein replied 20th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

the scratch tool in FL Studio is not all the convenient or flexible (so far) but I was determined to have a try at it and came up with something. a little more progress on this one of late. thanks for stopping by my friend.

hi again,
I used some fragments from your production here: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/162487

this gore beat is really funky - I tried to build around it and create some fusion track. Thanks for some inspiration. Alex

DanGoldstein replied 20th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

I liked what you did with it Alex. I am trying to think a little more about the funk style as I go forward with this one. thanks for your comment. best regards at this happy time of year!

Enjoyable preview for your current work! The scratch elements were interesting... people underestimate the power of that little plugin. I enjoyed the rhythms so far as well. Definitely minimal at the moment, but you've got a good start! Keep at it!

DanGoldstein replied 20th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

thanks Pat. yea - we are very much in progress here. but stay tuned. I don't think I have scratched the surface with that scratch plug-in! the secret seems to be a greater variety of mouse motions. anyway - more to come on this one. having fun. happy holidays!

U..Crazy...Hahahaha...Cool stuff...Guess we all are to some degree...
I like the moves starting at the beginning and moving with an upward
progression sound wise...
By changing Frequencies and a few dynamics, but keeping the foundation relatively the same...Funny how that works...
Simple and clean, to my ear just a touch top heavy eq. wise, but it's
a really good start...Well Done...

Peace...TG.

DanGoldstein replied 20th Dec 2014 - 11 years ago

yes - I have been slimming down the sounds to get a balance. still very much putting this one together but making progress. probably the most elaborate percussion grooves I have attempted. more to come of course. thanks for your comment.
