Thanks. I appreciate it.

Take care

Thanks for listening, even though it's not your preferred genre. I appreciate that.

I'm sure ol' boy is chilling somewhere. He's never been one to stay in one place. He's like an Alley Cat. He comes and goes as he pleases and he only wants attention on his own terms. But, we all love him anyhow.

Thanks again.

Take care.
V.

Danke! Hey Brother!

It's been awhile since you've commented on one of my tracks. I was super happy to see that you had. Thank you!

All is well here. After being here for 30 years, we're about to move back to our home state to start a whole new chapter of our lives. One that displays far more potential than staying here. We're looking forward to it.

This song really is about alienation, or at least facing life alone, by your own rules that don't conform to what society says it has to be. Which, really, explains why it's like the old Valvedriver style. That was always my message. "Do it your way, screw what they tell you, it's your life" That's exactly how my friend lives, and I respect that greatly.

Danke, you take care my brother. I hope all is well with you as well during this odd time we live in.

Sincerely, take care.
Aaron.

Thanks, man. I'm glad you liked this one. There was something about the main synth when I was making it that just reminded me of him. Probably the tense journey feel like Wayne mentioned, and how he was always on the move. Even when he was just sitting there.

Take care, brother.
Aaron.

Hey, Wayne.

It is strange. Even in people that are known to take off for awhile without saying anything. It's that one time when they just don't come back and you're left always wondering.

As far as the song, A tense journey is exactly what I had in mind. I just kind of imagined his life and his personality and what he may have been facing. I imagine that what he sees in this world is nothing but another obstacle to overcome. As loving as he is, his instinctual drive for independence is beyond that of any human I've ever met.

There are a few things that still need some tweaking in here. I'm not 100% on the piano part. But, it'll do for now. Once I can get back to it, I will.

Thanks for stopping by, mister. It's always appreciated.

Take care.
Aaron

Thank you. I appreciate the kindness.

Thank you. I appreciate the comment and the listen.

Thanks, bud.

I'm really not one to mix words, or candy coat. I'm not a dick about it, just straightforward and no bull.

Have a good one.
V.

Thanks for listening and commenting. Apparently, you just don't like long songs. Which, a lot of mine are. Listen at you r own discretion, I guess.

Thanks again.
Take care.
V.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for listening, man.

If I ever get around to searching a couple different storage drives to see if I still have this file backed up somewhere, I'll play around with the levels. But, until then, I've written this one off as a loss. The laptop that I created this one on took the proverbial shit and died. Along with it, this songs original file. But, I totally agree with what you mentioned, and if I could have, I already would have fixed it. But...such is life.

Either way, I appreciate the suggestion. Not enough people around here throw helpful critiques anymore. That's how we improve, right?

Anyhow...Take care, man.
V.

Thank you, sir! I'm glad you liked it.

Take care.
Aaron

Thank you, Wayne. I appreciate the kind words.

I have always tried to achieve painting with sound. It hasn't always worked, but I'm glad to hear that it did in this case.

Thanks again.

Take care.
Aaron.

Do it!

But when you come out of the metal closet, you have to kick your way out. You can't just turn the knob and slip out. You have to kick that thing, and come out screaming, "I am Fookin' metal! Hear..my...wrath!!"

True story, bro. That's how it's done.

Thanks for stopping by and giving a listen and a comment. I appreciate. it.

Take care.
V.

Thanks, man. I appreciate you taking the time to listen to some older work. I really like this one too.

As far as the direction I'm going, it's actually backwards. What I'm doing now is more like what I started with. These metal tunes are the offshoot. Even though I live, eat, and breathe metal since 1984, I still really enjoy making the electronic work.
I will have more metal to come, but until I can get a new laptop that can handle it, it had to be put on hold.

Thanks again, man. I truly appreciate it.
Take care.

There was once a great guitarist that was on Looperman quite frequently. I once saw him comment in a forum post that a guitar VST was good for backing tracks or simple effects, but could never be good enough to make a complete track.

Even with the tremendous amount of respect that I have for this man, I took that as a personal challenge. So, I set out to make a few tracks that you couldn't really tell if it was live, or VST. I like to think I came close enough with this one and the "Overmyth" series.

HA! No. No sex bots here. It's not funky enough!

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it.

Take care.
V.

Well, thank you sir! This is some high praise. I appreciate it.

I'm not entirely familiar with the Sheffield scene, so I'm not sure which part reminds you of it. But, if there was an entire movement that my music sounds like, then I must be doing something right, huh?

I do have a sense of humor, and I'm not afraid to use it! Which got me thinking...I should put out an entirely bullshit song that's clearly a joke. Just for the fun of doing it.

Hmm, one of these times.

Thanks again, mister Steve.

Take care.
Aaron.

Thanks, man.

If you dig DnB,You should check out my track "Labrynth Of The Absurd pt.II (Pain Has A Face)"

It's a nice dark little piece.

Thanks for taking the time to listen, and comment.

Damn, dude! That could easily scar a kid for life. Sometimes those carnies freak me out now, and I'm a grown ass steel worker!

Thanks for listening, man. Always appreciate your input.

I can't say that I've ever received four thumb up from one person before. What an indelible first!

Maybe we should petition Mr. Looperman to add a genre to the list: ValveDriverStep. lol.

Thank you for the tri-fecta. A Listen, comment and fav. It's greatly appreciated!

Take care.
V.

Thank you.

I appreciate you taking the time.

"Creative and unusual"

Good words to describe my work. Beats the hell out of "Boring and Normal"

Thanks for listening, and commenting.

Take care.

Thanks, man.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was kind of fun to make, too.

If by logo you mean my little pic in the corner there, that was made by the talented Neomorpheus. Too whom, I tip my hat.

Thanks again.

Take care
