Shinobi is a game , this track reminded me of the soundtrack of that, hence my comment , and yes I aware no one will jump out at me , thanks for the heads up anyway.
Very nice track here. Had me hooked from right before the one minute mark and on. Great Bass playing as always and the Piano was a nice touch. Think the mix was pretty freakin tight as well. I see you said you spent a lot of time on this one and it definitely shows. All around great job.
Friend very different sound for you, totally loving it though, has a very fun sound and vibe to this one, seriously not a genre I do enough to comment on tech stuff, but all I can say thoroughly enjoy the ride and listen of this one, very enjoyable listen...Fav...Peace n Respect dude...Mosaic...
Another Studio One creation. I'm still working on this one so it is bound to be changing. Went to record last night and my Ibanez was dead. New battery and everything, so I'm kinda screwed till I get the cash to put it in the shop.
Hey Evan great song and my guitar player says there 'is' a spot for a breakdown in the second half. We'd like to tinker with her and get back to ya'. Keep em' comin' Evisma
You are one of our favorite 'loopers'
Relaxing tune you have here. Sounds perfect for the theme of a tour, your spot on with the title. Possibly Daft Punk inspired at the 1:20 mark? Grooving really nicely with all the guitars and the light drum mix. Great track Evisma, peace
I have no idea what Daft Punk sounds like. More of a Progressive Rock fan myself. Thanks for the feedback. It's changed since you last heard it, so I hope I didn't kill the vibe!
Never heard this kinda 'shuffle' (I'm not sure) from you...cause you never did before...:-)
But it's fine...for 3 minutes surely...:-)
I don't say anything about your bass cause it's always the same...same heaven...
Avatar is much better than before...thank you!!!
This is sounding pretty sweet. Nice blend of acoustic guitars, kind of reminds me a little of one of Moby's acoustic numbers in a way. But then it doesn't. Nice touch with the acid lick, i like that then there's the harmonising which is cool as well. You might have just inspired me here to try a rock track. This is some solid work and just what i needed to hear to kick back and chill before embarking on my next adventure.
A clever blend of guitars and synths.

Very good start...From your description, you plan on continuing work on this
so be it...
You have lots of room to move, I'll be back to hear the revamp...
1:52 to the end, needs to be cut. Then, take it and use it as an intro to a song that can be built entirely around it. That part is a nice, dark groove that could take on a slow building, epic life of it's own. Honestly, of everything I've heard come from you, that one minute is without a doubt my favorite. You could take that to some amazing places. I don't want to lessen the rest of this track by any means, though. There is serious potential here. I can see what you mean about it sounding "happier." I think mostly what it needs is some drum-love. I think you could get away with some fancy snare work on this one. (Think Brann Dailor).
I'm curious to see where you take this one. As it sits, there is, like I said, a lot of potential for this badboy!
Take care, man.
Aaron.
So, the end needs to "splinter cell" and become it's own thing, eh? I would hope to not abandon it, and be able to make it work here, but if it is better served in it's own environment then it must be done!
Big Mastodon fan, so I got ya with the snare work, dudes a madman!
The ending to this track was executed exactly the way I was trying to describe to you in "The Meandering Somnambulist."
With that being said, I'm not doing any more of a technical review on this one. I don't really need to.
It's clear that this track has purpose. At first I wasn't too sure about the synths, but after a second listen, and reading your description and your response to Crucethus, they made perfect sense, and absolutely worked. At least, in my own interpretation of the track, anyhow.
This is great man. It sounds to me like an RHCP type song that isn't finished yet. It really has that sound. You have the Flea part down, now it just needs some laid back Frusciante style guitar work, some Chad Smith drumming to fill in the gaps and of course Kiedis style vocals to wrap it all up. I really don't know how realistic that is or if you could even be bothered going that route with this track. But I immediately heard that kind of song in my head.
Sometimes people outside the box hear things you'd never think of when composing. Maybe this could help this track go in a direction even if you just use one of the ideas.
Just my 2 cents. I enjoyed the track for what it is so far. It has tons of potential if you choose to work on it. Good luck :]
I did not think Chili Peppers at all when doing this one. Interesting that you heard that. But, if there were no interpretations, there would be no Rorschach tests, and we need those! Thanks for the listen and feedback!
Holaaaaa. The way everything works together here is fantastic, I really dig it. On my second listen now. You don't get bored with it, it has a little of everything. I think the piano is a nice ending touch actually, how everything else fades out. Super super.
I really am fond of how clean everything comes through in this one, you really must have thought this through.
There is not much of harsh critique to be given
but if I had something it would be turning the master slightly down, just see that by looking at the wave form. I don't hear distortion now or anything but normally it could result in slight distortion if you overload it.
Thanks for sharing this track with us and great job ;)
Hi MrEvisma,
This is a good song. Very good.
Your bass is more in the background this time, but the melodies you play on the acoustic guitar are working very well. At 1:08 we have some very "bassish" lines though ;-)
The section starting at 1:42 is my favorite moment: I like how it gets introduced and here everything is "perfect". A wonderful moment.
What I did not like is the synth sounds that follows (starts at 2:14) ... I think this melody is a bit too "simple", which wouldn't be a problem per se but doesn't work with the "fat dance lead" synth sound (IMVHO).
One suggestion: I like the ending piano, but it would be nice to repeat it a couple of times more, adding a delay (with fade in, not all at once).
Just an idea...
Again: thanks for sharing this track with us! Very good level as usual from you (actually no, it's even better than your usual stuff...)
Ciao, Domenico
Hey Evan.
It seems like your experimenting with some things here and I like. Very catchy and upbeat melodies. I really dig the first section with the acoustic and the bouncy synth. Was hoping to hear some heavier guitar there where it got a bit darker around 1:10.
Nice work on the mix down, lots of good separation and super clean. Dig it bro.
High praise. Commenting on the mix being good is something that almost never happens. So much bass guitar muds my tracks up, so I feel I over-cut some lows just to make room for more! Thanks for the kind words.

Here's a secret, I'm wearing a tuxedo in the picture, and I'm standing between my brother and sister, also tuxedoed. Brother's wedding.
Glad you liked the track, it has some stuff to be added but I was hoping to keep it all bass guitar.

I've become a fan of your music lately. Your voice, and the voice of the chick from Hundred Waters are my new favorites. Always good stuff from you.

And what is ffffffurrrrr!!
Is it like when Zem, the talking mattress from Hitchhiker's Guide, likes something and says "Voom"?
Or like when Eddie Murphy's cousins say "Goonie Goo-Goo" after catching fish with their mouths?
It's a mystery for Mr. E.
