I remember Mike and i was wondering what had happened to him.
This is a great piece that you've put together here to remember him.
Mike always used to review my tracks and say nice things (even if the tune was crap lol)
Anyway, well done for this splendid piece of guitar work and vocal layering.
FR
many thnx FR for attention & feedback.
as U've mentioned Mike has a nice perception & a beautifull
expression from that percept which makes his review memorable
& I think we (many of ours) have missed him & I hope our reviews will make him feel good .
great appreciations for your presence & shared perception as commnt.best wishes.___Behnam
What a beautiful track.
The interplay between voice and guitar creates the perfect atmosphere.
And I see some "Benham touches", specially in the way you have processed some words with strange-echoes.
I also like the choice of "powerful" drums which seems almost out of place in this context, but it gives the song an interesting touch.
Loved!
Ciao, Domenico
many thnx for attention Domenico .
about the way this track was made I should describe that once I wanted to tell Mike about the way I felt those days & also about the way his guitar sounds(his guitar had a strange an unique sound if U remember) , so played this(I've named this piece Inanition) & sent for him , in reply Mike sent this vocal version & I haven't processed the words...all U hear about the words in what Mike has done & I haven't changed anything in it...just Mike(like U're like this too)always could felt & underestand my music very well and maybe that's the reason why U've thought the words process have my touches.anyway I was not supposed to share this with loopermates but this was the only collaboration of Mike with someone in looperman & the only & the best way I thought i can make the others remember Mike to appreciate what he had done for me in my bitter days ...hope we've made Mike feel good..thnx & thnx again Domenico for usefull feedback as usual.take care____B
Thank you so much my friend for releasing this piece. I am on my second listen, and the first listen led me to write a song I had been thinking of since you wrote me. MStokes is a great person to know and has been a huge support to me over the years. It's a deeply beeautiful song, and I'm hoping I'll remember this day forever, between hearing this and writing the song that I did a minute ago. Some of these humans that I've encountered through Looperman have become more of friends than anyone I've known in person. Hope to still encounter you around the digital world.
Patrick many thnx for being the first one to commenT .
and many thnx for such a nice feedback .i hope Mike will see this & althought Mike didn't need my or our support but I hope to see he'll feel good for our friendly attempT.
(ps:did U recceive my mail including instrumental version? )
Pat I'm gratefull of your attention & appreciate your nice comment.take care.____B
Another really cool track decibel! It has a very calming vibe to it. This would be perfect for a movie to carry the scene. Another enjoyable listen. Nice work.
shanter first sorry for a bit latency in reply I hadn't checked comments of this track . and many thnx for listening &
the words in commenT .appreciation & best wishes .
relaxing, creative, intriguing, intense, haunting.
I liked how the piano starts "moving" around 1.08 min.
2.40 min gives another perspective of the melody.
honestly, I think there are many stories one can imagine while listen to this track. Your song is, how to say, artistic - I don't know if I am "politically correct" but I hope you'll understand my idea that your song is a piece of art.
very nice the lingering flutes in the end + the combination with bells.
many thnx for your kind words in review OxygenFree. definitelY reading such an explanation(piece of art)is nice for all of ours & your commenT -especiallY according to U(defenitelY) have heared many traX with afro flutes(according to where your country is located)- makes me think I've succeeded about usage of those flutes which i've never seen & I'm gratefull.appreciations & best wishes.__Behnam
Being behnam zandi is as exeptional as being his friend during 4 years...
Both of them have a nice, never failing beginning, which followed by a lot of unexpected doubt and fear of a cadence! full of unknown senses, feeling without sensing...
You feel that everything will be ok- as it was before- but don’t know how it will happen?
Whether insisting on what you want or give it up as you are fatigue and hopeless.
You don’t know as you’re Behnam Zandi, I don’t know as I am Light Legend...
I want to write about how amazing your playing is, but you say you don't want. ok.. :)
I agree with your feeling against child labour.
When I volunteered in Ghana some time ago, I was asked to check the school attendance of children being sponsored by the charity I was with. Then when it was a harvest time, most the children were not in school :) Most parents dont agree the children cant help to harvest, because it's food, important. I dont know if this is wrong or not. Of course, Im sure this is not the child labour you are talking about, but at the same time this is possibly a big chunk out of the 26% sub-saharan children involved in work you mention.
Thanks
Awesome job deciBel! This is a very relaxing cinematic track. This totally belongs in a movie or a video game. I really enjoyed listening to this. It's a Fav and it's downloaded. Nice work.
Shanter many thanX for attention , shared idea as commenT & all great words & thanx for fav & download too . nice to know this analysis from U .appreciations & best wishes.___Behnam
the true meaning of a cinematic piece indeed !
imagery , conceptual , technichal and superb !
i wonder how I haven't found this before !
one of the best cinematic track i've ever heared with electric guitar !
anxiety attack when your guitar screams !
this is my favorite in your tracks !
my words can't explain how you are a prodigy in music ...
love and peace .

I know you have put your instruments away and parted company with music, but I am still so happy to find some of your work still posted here for all of us to enjoy. You truly have such marvelous abilities and it is such a shame that your circumstances don't allow for the expression of those talents. I listen with both a mix of sadness and happiness. Sad that you are no longer creating music, but happy that there are still gems like this one out there for us to all enjoy. I hope life is treating you well Behnam. All my best to you.
Dina , I underestand your beautifull explanation about usage of the words like ''universe'' or ''world=wellcome to my world in your track'' , and because of the respect i have for such a great comprehension & percept in U , I should answer looperman , and this 10 traX don't mean my universe for me ...
these are my musical error & trials ,made by my deepest perception & sensation ,yes , but those were my shelter ...a shelter to i can forget about my universe ...
Dina many many thnx for attention & listening to my musical shelter's sound & thoughts in this trial .& many thnx for time & shared idea in comment.
all the best .____Behnam
haha awesome, i can just Imagen you playing your guitar doing the windmill with your head then sliding on you knees! very well structured with great little breaks, defiantly not the type off music i list to, but i can always appreciate talent!
Listening to this, I am realizing how thankful I am to know you. My eyes have never been as painfully open as since I have gotten to know you and worked with you. I feel like I have died and returned fresh. I think I will post our collab in a moment, I don't know why I haven't yet. Please keep creating against all odds. Faved!
my good friend, Patrick ,this was a great chance for me to know U & U all in music ..Pat I'm gratefull of your generous words about this music lover who was using music as his shelter.and althoughT U've written in a way that I don't think if I deserve but wish i deserve . regarding our collaboration forsure as I told u the same time too i will be honoured & U're free to do anything about thaT .Pat , me & music haven't left eachother because of any problem or odd ...we left eachother because of loving eachother more than what we both deserved ...i should stop living in that shelter (music) ...cause i was convinced i don't belong to musicians world ..yes i am convinced i don't belong to musicians world Pat ....take care & many many thnx for all your memorable comments Patrick ..my very good unseen friend ...best wishes of mine for U & music after me ..._____B
many many thnx for such a kind words & point of view about me ..& thresh78 dear,I reallY wished all my attempts had any side effecT abouT what U've called justice ,buT to be honesT with myself & U ,all these my creativity & hearT & musix haven't been able to do anything about nothing...& I'm sorrY for myself for haven't been able to do nothing buT hearing admiration from kind people like U, when reallity was laughing at me for I was an attempT which in facT had no side effecT even in loopermate's point of view (unfortunatelY) ...& what a different does it make if what I've tried for , when result has been a big null ,pragmathicallY....buT I'm gratefull of yours & your perception.many thnx & greatest respect.___Behnam
Love the build up. The ambient noise that blends in with the guitar is excellent. You can feel the hatred building up. You know there's something getting closer. Then the apocalyptic sound explodes taking everyone of the human race with it.
"My hate is general, I detest all men;
Some because they are wicked and do evil,
Others because they tolerate the wicked,
Refusing them the active vigorous scorn
Which vice should stimulate in virtuous minds."
many thnx for attention & listening & interesting cinemtic analysis in cmmenT , and excuse me for latency in replY but i was thinking to your written lyriX ...cool & shows your tallented mind as a young man , just i have a criticism & that's if our hate be general , this won't be a cause for grat wars in the earth ?..i really appreciate your commenT.best wishes.__Behnam
Instantly pulling, intro is very well flowed, as well as the rest of the song. The ambient feel to is great, and then it explodes into more greatness halfway through.
many thnx for attention & shared idea in review.
meanwhile dear EYEDEYE ,althought I don't use acapella but I usually check them to know new tallents here , yesterday I was checking acapellas & found U there too ,& wanted to say U've an active & creative mind for music text & lyriX - beside having a tallented voice - . adorable perception for such a young guy i'm seeing in your avatar which made me find more reason for
great respecT to EYEDEYE . keep up the good work & in the end again many many thnx for stopping by & commenT . all the best.___Behnam
That certainly was a 100 seconds of so very thought provoking music, with such lovely key progression. I am privileged to have been able to listen to it. Thank you for sharing it.
many thnx for your time & attention & shared idea Mark/Larry.
it's nice to know a thorughbred musician like U has a possitive feedback about this shorT & old trial & I appreciate U . regards.___B
not an easy task to create something heavenly by only using a singing voice and an acoustic. however you make it appear trivial, which speaks for itself.
listening to this makes me deeply emotional. short and sweet but i wouldn't mind at all if it was twice as long.
this is something to be proud of dear Brandy and Behnam. hats off to both of you - this is a remarkable tune!
many thnx for listening & shared idea .Savino i think U were one of my few friends who had heared this instrumental acoustic dueT of guitar before & I should say BrandY's vocal idea was so smarT for accompanimenTing of thaT .
particulary i didn't expect if a singer can do what BrandY did with thaT I really enjoyed this collaboration (some how like what U wonderfullY did about our collab christalyzed hopes) . me & BrandY both appreciate your time & kind words in feedback. take care .___B
