Another track with an incredible sound. It's over 3 minutes long but it feels short, haha, I think that's a good sign. Congratulations.

I really enjoyed it. It's one of those songs that helps me learn. The clarity of the sounds and the stereo effect are fantastic; when I close my eyes, I can visualize each instrument in a different place, occupying a distinct space in front of me. Congratulations!

This is really good, man. I love some of the drumwork in here especially. You're really good at using those beats to create tension and release.

Hi, it's me again (smiles). I think you've found a really excellent approach to music production. It's so important to stand by what you create. It's not about pleasing as many people as possible, what really matters is creating something authentic. Of course, that's not always easy when you work as a studio musician like Angelica and I. We depend on commissions and, naturally, have to deliver what the client envisions. But even in this industry, I've turned down projects more than once.

I really appreciate your attitude.

And yes, of course I know "V." He's been with me for many years and supports me with his vast experience, especially mentally. I've probably had my most intense conversations here with him, Mark, and you. I hope to see him again soon.

I spent a few days touring with Olaf's Big Band, another little musical love story. I uploaded one or two of those songs here back then. Maybe I'll do that again if Olaf agrees.

What I really wanted to say is: I move between very different musical worlds from folk to rock and blues to jazz. Many people don't know that and still associate me with the "naive little singer."

So, with a sweet girl's smile (smiles), I wish you a wonderful weekend. Manuela

Hello Steven,
Your song is beautifully crafted, with plenty of intriguing moments packed into its three minutes. Achieving this while maintaining a sense of unity and an uninterrupted musical flow is no easy feat, yet you've done it wonderfully, creating a truly enjoyable listening experience. The sound quality is excellent as well. Great work.
Best wishes, Anthony

Hello mate long time no hear lol, mate this track is so cool did you use Magix because I heard a little bit at the end which sounded like a loop I have used. thanks man this was awesome.

Hello Steven,
many others have already pointed out the outstanding drums and bass and I agree. What stands out to me in addition is your creativity in choosing and combining instruments. In the past (a long time ago, smile) you had that too, but the overall tone felt darker. Now your sound seems brighter, friendlier, more relaxed - and I find that incredibly positive.
As Mark already said: youre at the beginning of something new. Im genuinely curious and excited to see where this path will take you.

Great work - excellent soundstage, very good mix and master.

Warm greetings,
Manuela, the chick smile

Intriguing - great drums and bass and the FX at the end are really goood

I love that bass, it's so full on my subs.
Great music, really interesting to listen.
I love it!

Def a Toe tapper from start to finish Some nice change ups cool track yiv knocked up man i enjoyed my listen :)

Steven! Maybe light on acid but heavy on drive. The instrument selection and placement speaks of where you are creatively. You have your own unique sound and style. What I'm picking up is you're expanding your sound and reaching for the new. The trajectory you're on, you'll soon be right where you envision. Keep creating, keep growing!

Mark

Man you got it all - beat, FX, the lot - gave me Cirrone 'Super nature' vibes

This is amazing bro. Top quality.

Them cobwebs have truly been dusted off man great track quite trippy in some parts must be that band creeping in again enjoyed my listen man :)

Steven! You are a arpeggiated beast. That kick moves this forward firmly. Synths are screaming WELCOME TO WEEKEND! Great job!

Mark

Yep, we like this one. Now I really want to go back in time and go to some of the shows and raves I attended years ago. There's a nostalgic quality here, very well done

Hi Steve,
It might not be my usual musical specialty, but it's truly beautiful. Great drive, wonderful harmonies all in all, a song of the usual high quality in terms of arrangement and production.
It really gets you moving, and that's always a good sign for me.
Warm regards and happy holidays, Manuela

Hi Steve,

Thank you so much for the link and especially for your comment from March 19, 2016. That was almost exactly ten years ago.

I understand the connections you describe and the deep personal bond behind them. I can only imagine how great your love must be to bear all of that. I'm somehow at a loss for words to respond appropriately to the song and its lyrics I hope you understand what I mean.

You touched me deeply not only with this song, but also through your character, your kindness, and the conversations we've had over the years. They've shown me how important sensitivity is in our interactions. Thank you for that.

I'm truly moved. Warm regards, Manuela

nice house music cru, its good to see you around, although i have not been about much myself lately lifes been busy, nice base sitting under the melody and tight percs and drums, good changes too,
I've just treated myself to a big upgrade midi-board FLKEY 61 Focusrite audio interface and a Shure SM58 mic, so looking to get back to music with a much more polished vocal now life has calmed down and i have more time, hope your well and the family are good

Amazing track!

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank you very much for your kind compliment and ask you to also convey my warmest regards to your wife.
Regarding your question: In Germany, we say, "It was in her cradle." I'm not sure if this expression translates directly into English, and frankly, it would be too simplistic anyway. The fact is, there have been talented musicians in every generation of my family. But none of them ever made it beyond the confines of their parents' home or hometown.
My father was a gifted pianist, even though he was a civil servant. For me, the path was long. I became pregnant very young by a much older man, and that almost destroyed my family. But I had the child, and this wonderful girl ultimately helped to soften and heal my parents' feelings toward me, the baby, and even her father. A little over a year later, my second daughter was born, this time planned.
I separated from her father last year, a sensible decision that still hurts me from time to time. He struggled with my frequent absences due to music and his own work-related absences. For two years, I tried to change, but it was simply impossible.
You didn't ask about this, but it's important to understand what happened next. My parents are wealthy, and so was my husband, so I had both the financial and moral support to pursue classical vocal training, supplemented by solid instruction in piano and classical guitar. I completed all of this in my mid-twenties.
Around this time, Angelica, who is ten years younger, left the family under dramatic circumstances that I don't want to discuss publicly here. Five years later, she returned deeply hurt, and with the help of my parents, myself, and a few other important people, she fought her way back to life. Over time, she developed exceptional musical skills in composing and performing.
To make a long story short: We both worked as studio musicians, producing loops and vocals, working for well-known artists, realizing commercial productions, getting to know many musicians, and benefiting from their experience. We joined the group ManuS, and after the lead singer, Stephanie Burger, left in 2014, I took over her part. ManuS evolved into 2Sisters and eventually the True Sister Band.
Since last year, I've also been known as a solo artist under the name Nuela. My father would have been proud of me, but sadly, he didn't live to see these last few years; he passed away unexpectedly in 2015.
In short, it's been a long, 20-year journey that I was only able to embark on because I was fortunate enough to be born under a lucky star. Angelica and I are deeply grateful to our parents and my husband for making this path possible for us.

Warm regards,
Manuela

Hi Steve,

This is a great song. The drive, the bassline, and the drumming are superbly arranged, mixed, and mastered. It has exceptional intensity and clarity. The choice of instruments, the plugins, and the surprising, subtle saxophone entry towards the end, as well as the ending itself, speak volumes about your professionalism.

Again: a fantastic track. Best regards, Manuela

Hi Steve,

I remember expressing my condolences to you months ago for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your parents. I'm lucky enough to still have my mother, and since my father passed away, our relationship has become much deeper, closer, and more meaningful. And of course, I still have my sassy sister, who is also my best friend, and of course, my two precious children. I honestly don't know how I would cope if one of these dear people were no longer here. I'm sure I would struggle with it for a long time.
I also completely withdrew from Looperman for several months, deleted all my songs and even my profile, and only recently returned after much deliberation.

I read your message to Cosmo and was surprised how little we actually know about each other, despite all the years we've spent together here. It's nice to read about your experiences, even if they come from a time when I was probably just taking my first steps in music.
I've also completely withdrawn from Looperman for several months, deleted all my songs and even my profile, and only recently returned after much consideration. But your stories give me that warm, cozy feeling inside, just like when I was a child, sitting on the sofa with my father and listening to him tell stories. I really mean that. You have no idea what a precious treasure you share with us when you open up like this, even in such a short way as with Cosmo.

I hope that one day people will feel that same warmth when they hear my stories.

Warm regards,
Manuela
