nice chillout music: I like a clear sound of the gitar from the beginning and great introduction that really sets up the mood of the song. It is so nice to hear as it goes along: nice piano sounds, percussions and the soft synth sounds. Really well done by placing of elements in arranging the song structure. But I can hear only the one chorus (about 1:12) and it feels like it could be nice to hear it again once more. Maybe it's just me but song starts from 0:37 and it sounds like it really needs this recapitulation. But anyway nice work and it doesn't necessary require the lyrics for me.
I enjoyed this very much:)
Greetings,
A.

Hello. This sounds great right from the start eg that chord on 0:03. Great guitar sound.

0:14 nice how the drums come in. I love the kick. My big problem is that the noisy, swirling sound (brush snare swirls?) is too loud so it's taking up too much space.

0:17 keyboard notes are very pretty.

0:25 more shaker stuff that helps push the track forward.

So, lots of excellent things just in the first 30 seconds. Then there are some good chord progressions leading up to 1:11 when the beat breaks out a bit and you get strumming on that guitar.

1:37 return to the main theme but with different drums.

1:34-1:37 transition is very well done and we get to the hear the bass a bit more.

If you add vocals to this, they must be very good because this is excellent work so you don't want to spoil it with only average or OK vocals. If you don't get a vocal, please extend this for about 1 minute and give it a proper ending.

Congratulations.

Good job on this one, I know a guy who could fit your request, search him on facebook, his name is Mark Ratcliffe

I give you his link to the soundcloud account, tell him Kevin send you.

he is a nice guy, but a little bit busy, so plan a little with a little bit delay :)

What a lovely feel you have created. It's beautiful. Great sound on the acoustic guitar too and nicely played. I hope you find someone to put vocals of this - it deserved it.

Great job

First song: Wonderful groove! I love R&B. Great orchestration. i particularly liked the very tasteful guitar part.

Second song: great chorus.

Third song: I agree with midisparks. Very rich synths and vocal backing is excellent.

Fourth song: I think this could be a soundtrack to animated film. Crazy mechanical toys bopping around, slightly out of control. Lots of fun!

Fifth song: Very europop sounding track. I am not ashamed to admit that I like pop music. At least some of it anyway. Interesting chord progression. I didn't expect the modulation, which is a good thing. I wanted to hear more. I assume there is a longer version?

Hi, Jacques. L'ete en Ottawa sucks big time. Il fait froid, il pleut, pas du soleil. La meme chose en Montreal?

Most people on Looperman would not understand vive le quebec libre, but I do.

It would be very nice to collaborate aver vows sometime, but I know that vous êtes très occupé and, unlike me, you make a living from music so that must take priority. Mais, peut-être, someday we will be able to do something tout ensemble.

Pour vous je vais essayer parler en français. Actually, I guess c'est vraiment un melange du français et anglais! :)

on ALGERIA by jacquesdemers
This track made me smile all the way through. Again, vocals were excellent. You are able to compose in such a variety of styles, it is quite impressive. I did listen very intently to the coda and heard the interplay of the various instruments as you suggested. That's the proper way to compose I think. Each instrument has its own line. Together, they form harmonies and counter-melodies. This is very different from just playing a chord on the keyboard using a string ensemble patch. I've tried both methods and the results are strikingly different. Playing a chord doesn't sound realistic most times, but figuring out individual lines for each instrument is much more of a challenge, at least for me. I will listen to this track again to learn how to make my music better. Thank-you for posting it.

on once upon a time in paris by jacquesdemers
OK. I think this track might be my favourite one so far even though in some ways it is not as polished as some of the others. First, it reminds me of my times in Paris, wandering the streets at night, le Pont Neuf, the West Bank, les Tuileries, walking along the banks of the Seine. You have captured the ambience very well indeed. Second, I really liked your piano and accordion work. In some ways it reminded me of Gotan Project. I've tried to do accordion parts but they simply didn't come close to your work on this track. Third, I loved the vocal part, including the spoken word sections. Who did the vocals? French is a fantastically musical language and I've wanted to make similar tracks in the past, but couldn't find audio clips that worked. This track achieved what I wanted to to create. I loved it. I am downloading this one for my iPhone for sure! :) You must tell me who did the vocals! Was it you?

jacquesdemers replied 14th Aug 2014 - 11 years ago
wow thanks again eric i did the vocals, and everything, if i'm a new here its because i thought and im make a good programation job, i know , so i thought than i can do everything alone in my cave , i'm wrong, we need to each others , i,m tired to be all a time in my cave, i learn by miself with some international musicals directors most of them are a real dictator, and if you dont want to go to the gaz room, you better to learn how to work and avoid any errors, its not permit when it cost 200$ hours and +, thanks to listen my work, and enjoid

This has a lot of potential, Jacques. I immediately started experimenting with melody lines, first in my head, and then humming out loud. You have an excellent ear for composing melodies I know, so you certainly don't need any input from me for this track. I wonder if Janis71 might be willing to collaborate with you on this one? She's got a very nice voice and has posted quite a bit of stuff on Looperman. Check out her acapellas.

oh oh eric if i,m there its to meet a guys like you, and i'm totally open to collaboration , thank you to give me names of singer , igonna go check her profile, yes the sond have a nice harminique stucture, and every time than i listen the melodies come naturely , and now i have a good idea of what its should be, and the jyrics take form what i want imagine, second degress like a painthing or a description of scenes of nature a field running like a wild horse throught the skyline , a magic place with a perspective , where i dont fell trapped , surround by walls all around love lift me above where i can see far away in your eyes the beauty of the world..... à perte de vue in your eyes i see, was from the biginning the key of this song, but i,m working 42 songs in the same times,for that one i want the best so i built a bank of words sentences ideas, and musical version and i,m arrived to macht every thing together, and find a women singer who gonna accept to bee paid and work on it to make agood interpretation, or if she have a better lyrics i can share the rights,but i wants first its to presents songs to majors or internationnal singers, EMI Canada director known me , once i sended 3 songs , he loock his office door tell every body to dont disturb him, no telephones, he listen my songs for all the day. this time i presented a singer the song was very good the problemes was the singer, not anought drive and a power,and concentration, when its fun yeah lets go but when its time to make an academic effort, you loss them. anyway i gonna see the profil and listen the singer than you talking to me, its important for to reply the messages than i received, because i learn in the the same time and make contacts its important for me.See you later, i gonna go to your profil today.

I, too, am impressed again, Jacques. You had some fine musicians working with you on this track! Very nice sax work. And, the groove was right on the money. Yes, Danke is right. Your tracks are very professional products. Something I can definitely get inspired by. It is such a rich sound. I must learn to make tracks that sound this good.

on DANCE FOR ME by jacquesdemers
A really fine song, Jacques. I am so impressed with your work. And, very envious that you have such good singers to work with you. I hope you stay at Looperman because it is a real joy to hear such excellent tracks. In addition to the singers that Danke mentioned, you should check out Kela Nuvelle here on Looperman. She's got an EP out and has posted one of her compositions to this site. She's a very interesting singer/songwriter I think. Her style is a bit more urban than the two tracks of yours I've listened to so far, but I think she's got really good voice and delivery. She's trying to go pro.

Bonjour, Jacques! Hello from Ottawa. A really nice chill track. I really appreciated the interesting chord progressions. I see from your profile that you have worked on music for Cirque du Soleil. I can can hear the influences in this track I think. Ending was a bit abrupt. I get the impression that there's actually more to the track than you posted? Now I must listen to your other tracks! :)
