First. You are a freaking talented bassist and songwriter .
second. the fact that people like Static and myself pay attention to your work is because it's good, it's Damn fucking good.
DO NOT LET a detailed critique of your work bring you down or make you feel like this is all for nought. When people who are similar in their artistic endeavors get together and feel comfortable with each other and let their guard down to showcase their vulnerabilities this will inevitably happen. When someone offers a detailed critique on this level , it's because it's already really good, but... hey this will make it over the top....
So get off your sorry-wagon (i'm not sure what that is truly) and realize there is an incredible group of artists here that listen and enjoy your work, and an even fewer subset that offers advice to enhance what you do. (take it or not) It is a really special thing. Do something different should be a challenge to the nail scratching, bitingly sarcastic (which is a sign of intelligence) middle american I have come to know and love over these few years and say... "DON't TREAD ON ME....to the British scum who keep stealing our tea and making us pay high prices for cable and making us watch downton abbey.. for shame those scoundrels are worse than the terrorists.
are you laughing yet..good. Every creative piece of work we make is not the serious end all be all but something of value that we cherish. When we share that value it becomes vulnerable. When it's vulnerable take it with a grain of salt. cos if you believe in it. Well.. then that's another story and another world that you can find others who believe in your vision.
Crucrest out!!
First and foremost, your words really made me feel better. Not that my tender feeling needed to be coddled, or I need praise for every track I make, but for speaking to me like a brother. Alex and yourself are very kind in that way. Be it "sounds good" or "you could do better", there is a sense of attachment that is very rare in my life.
My boo-hooing wasn't really over this last track, but it did send it over the edge. Ive felt this way for a while. Mostly, I'm realizing that I don't have the budget to make things how I'd like, i.e. better drums, a tube amp and an electric guitar meant more for metal than my PRS, and paying for repairs on my main instrument, my dead bass guitar. I'm trying to move towards heavier metal-infused music and realized I'm very unpracticed. Just gotta grow some nuts and push through my self doubt.
"British scum"
This made me laugh so hard I blew snot on my phone. I realize now that I shouldn't have said what I said. Honesty is precious to me. Whining and being a bitch just does myself a disservice by disuading others from being open and honest. My response should have been in the form of a new track that proves myself wrong.
No more. I won't be quitting. Not sure if I could stand it. Just gotta try harder and stop coasting. Once I started making decent tracks, I quit applying myself, partly due to the praise from this site. I quit growing and that is a shame. Fuck that. I gotta wake back up.
Thank you for the "NUT UP!" talk. My empty scrotum apparently needed it.

Sorry to hear you feel you've lost something. You've made big improvements in your music and I'm not hearing anything missing compared with stuff you did 3 years ago. Definitely don't quit! Especially if there's nothing else you truly enjoy doing.
I don't worry about whether I'm any good but constantly worry how I can continue coming up with stuff that's new and interesting to me. How will I manage to come up with multiple good riffs in, say, 30 years' time?
"If I've said all I have to say with my music"
What do you really want to say? I kind of having nothing to say - I'm just exploring good sounds + grooves. No message or particular emotion, just good sounds for the sake of it. Others are free to get whichever emotions they like out of it.
I'm very familiar with people talking over music you play to them. They also ask me questions that will have a longish answer while it's playing. As if I'm going to talk over it the only time I play it to them. And when I'm sitting there, clearly listening in silence. Then you realise you're perhaps somehow torturing people by getting them to listen so then you just give them a link and let them do it in their own time (or not at all). Or see what people you've never met who live thousands of miles away think. Nice track bro, in some cases.
"I'm not feeling sorry for myself"
Don't worry - I do quite a bit of that.
Creative technique for you: extreme timestretching of guitar parts. You liked it when I did it in tracks such as Chasm and Roar Stone so just download the free software and give it a go:
http://hypermammut.sourceforge.net/paulstretch/
Record some decent guitar parts, then bring the stretched (4x or 8x) parts back into the song and I guarantee they will fit (+ some editing) as they're the right notes. Helps make big ambiences with no synths.
Another technique: sample some Bjork records.
"Evan, looking to turn his piss to wine"
was a great sign off. So cool when you can find an MJK lyric that fits what you're talking about. Don't give up on his lyrics just yet.
My effort, from the same song:
Nomad, too connected to you to slip away, to fade away.
"What do you really want to say? "
Nothing on a whole, but each track I try to convey certain feelings in kind of a chronological fashion. The Valve mentioned my tracks ending with an air of triumph, like the end of a story or film. Eventually a writer's style gets pretty "samey". I really just need to be putting more into the process.
Really, I need to spend a few weeks without the DAW. Get back to the actual playing and the joy of it. I almost never play without the DAW running anymore. Trying to create, instead of practice. That may be the thing I've lost. The sheer joy. That shit's on its way back.
"I'm very familiar with people talking over music you play to them."
I'm a bit of a hypocrite here. My one good friend, Dave, is into woodcarving and he's shown me photos of his work and explained the process at length, and I just couldn't get engaged. He would talk about the different shapes and uses of carving implements, and my mind wanders to detuned guitar string-tension and how I need heavier gauged strings, but then I'd have to compensate with truss-rod adjustments and........ Oh shit, he just asked me a question! Ummm,... "quadrangle".
I understand the mind filters out the shit it doesn't deem important, and a person's interests are directly connected to that. Again, I need to chill. Thank you.
I will absolutely grab that time-stretcher. Most appreciated. I never know where to go for VSTs that is safe, so I use a lot of stock crap.
I will not be sampling Bjork. May give some a listen just to reinforce that there are people out there that can dig any style.

So, last night I crept into your house as you slept and performed your lumbar puncture procedure to see how much soul harvesting I could do. I did not find that it was "thinner than muthafuckin filo dough" and there was no smell. I actually extracted nothing meaning you have no soul.
Not to worry - there are many walking among us (politicians, lawyers, celebrities, bankers, boybands etc) in the same position and they get by OK. Just live your life as normal but don't bother trying to make soul music (as if you even want to).
You've got rid of your end VSTs and it's now cleaner. The obvious thing to do in that section is to bring the slide back, which might bookend the track nicely.
Yes, I think your music is getting a bit more Nomadic due to your becoming Sliderbro to my Sliderman, more use of delay and more drum layering and combination of loops and programmed parts. If you start doing banj metal, psychedelic blue grungehop and take up the cello, I'll know you're definitely undergoing the full transNomadification.
"I've stopped playing my music for family, wife or friend"
Do they have no interest and only listen out of politeness? Don't stop playing it for them if they actually like it.
Minor criticism: while I have congratulated you on recent big improvements, I wonder if you've settled into a bit of a formulaic style. Some might say it's a distinctive, signature style but I wonder if your last 10 or so tracks sitting together on an album might sound a bit samey. I can't criticise each track on its own but as a whole they may be too similar.
I'll sometime write out a load of stuff about cycle recording ("layers") that might be of no help. Or it could add more variety to what you do. Would be good if you got into it for Slupergroupery purposes, just so that I have more versions of your parts to work with.
Take care.
Static Backstab, scalpel deep within Evan's borderline.
"Do they have no interest and only listen out of politeness?"
Yes. When I'd play a track for someone, usually they would talk through the whole thing, noticing nothing but the silence of it's ending. I've never said anything to them, that would seem demanding. If I don't like someone's shit, I don't want it forced on me. Why force them to pay attention if they don't want to? I don't want anyone to feel obligated to give praise for something they couldn't care less about, just to keep from offending me (I would never be offended), so I decided to stop putting people in that situation.
Been pretty fuckin disappointed with myself lately. A lot of time goes into my music and it's starting to feel wasted. No other way to put it. I'm not feeling sorry for myself, just a feeling that what I'm doing with my time is stupid and not productive.
"I wonder if your last 10 or so tracks sitting together on an album might sound a bit samey."
Probably so. I don't really know what to say about that. I'll do what I can to start changing things up and not stay in the rut I've gotten into. I need to pay more attention to that. I feel like I've lost something I used to have. Focus, patience, creativity, drive. Don't know, but I either need to get it back, or stop pretending like I still have it and quit. If I've said all I have to say with my music, I shouldn't beat a dead horse.
I'm going to have to do some musical soul searching. There is nothing else I truly enjoy doing, but maybe I'm done. If everything starts feeling forced, then the joy is gone.
Thank you for mentioning it. Hadn't really noticed things were starting to sound the same. The next one will be different.

Thank you again for your response.
www.soundcloud.com/richard-hatcher-2 just go to my original music. I think there are 35 on this site I have over 75 original songs.
on Backstabbers Harvest by Evisma
I love the change at 1:35. everything before that sounds like many of your earlier works. but from a musical point of view I love that direction you took post 1:35. Mahloo makes some great points on the percussion. Change that in the mix and everything else becomes golden because the bass is special and the guitars are very engaged.
So now I must ask, what are you harvesting from backstabbers. literal Knives? Insults? More Kardashians? just a curio I guess.
What else...... if Static is going to jail for double posts, then I might be in the cell next to him.
" Plugged ears from a head cold,"
Nothing better than a small glass.. some ice, a slice of lemon, and a pony shot of nyquil that will cure that.
anyhoo carry on Evita with your bass like songs they amuse me.....would be something an asshole would say. so I will just say hey man...nice shot.

Backstabber's Harvest means reaping what you sow. Reciprocity. Backstabber receiving a jab of his own. Don't know what brought the name about, but I like it.
I'll do what I can with what I have, drum wise, and update soon. Thanks for the listen.

So you've asked for my opinion and here it is.
The main problem you have are the drums and the balance. Everything is pushed way to upfront and you get overlapping frequencies. I don't have th eindividual files of your song to make an accurate analysis as most of the times the source is what's the problem. I'm not saying that's the case but you might be doing to much because of the sources sound.
Anyways if you listen from start till 0:48 you'll notice the drums are pretty much stereo (I believe it's a loop) and after that they go pretty much mono and you lose a lot of impact and depth by doing that. The kick gets buried and doesn't have enough impact to carry the weight of the song and interlock with the bass guitar.
The snare is distorted and thin sounding, it doesn't have any stereo feel at all, the snare always benefits from a room reverb, even if you trigger a sample with a room sound and blend it in it will help make the kit sound more 3D and real.
The cymbals...they are really loud and that's causing distortion. I believe you didn't do any automation within the song and the cymbals could use a bit of volume riding. Overall anyways the problems start from there, the drums sound is mono, muffled and without any 3D feel or perception and from there you end up boosting everything to make it compete and eventually lose instruments in the mix or cover up certain things.
The bass from my point of view sounds great. I like the way the notes pop out. Pretty cool from my point of view.
Anyways you could always send the individual files my way and I could give you a better analysis or even try to mix it. The choice is yours. It would definitely make a better tutorial subiect than a perfectly tracked song. :)
I hope I wasn't harsh cause that was NOT my intention.
-Malu-
This basically reenforces what I've been told to do for over three years. Get EZ Drummer. I use the stock instrument in StudioOne called Presence. Problem is it treats a whole kit like it's a single element. No individual panning, all or nothing. Impact is a better instrument that is stock, but it's 99 percent hip hop and useless to me. I've been leery about spending over a hundred bucks on something intangible. Guess it's time.
Thank you for your time and honesty. I greatly appreciate it.

Yeah, lap-steel is something else. I have it tuned to an Em add9 chord. Basically a power chord of 2 and 4 on the A and D strings. It's E-B-F#-G-B-E. Love that chord, but I've done this and Hypnoculars with the lap-steel in that tuning, so it's time to change.
Take care.

Funny you should say that, considering I have five dicks attached to my pelvis in a hand-like array. Four are long and thin, with one thicker stubby short one, and we both know where that one goes!!
Glad you liked the track. Been a while since I'd seen you here. I hope all is well. Have you bought an interface yet? Focusrite Scarlett would be good for you since high output pickups need an input with a pad, and the Presonus 22VSL I have does not have that. I'll be switching soon.
Take care.

This is cool shit and it's damn fine to see there's some nice sliding about going down.
Cool slidey tone, with nice delay and reverb. Very Nomadic. You have been paying close attention, yo.
Decent groove behind it that's quite shakery with good use of delay on snare.
0:25 second guitar blends nicely. This is real melodic stuff and right up this Nomad's street. Good Nomad tempo too.
Then bass g chugging away, adding some balls.
1:28 slightly awkward change, maybe cos that nice pull off seems to be slightly faster than the previous stuff. Not really a problem, just an observation.
1:35 cool second g chugs than it all goes big and open with a nice lead g slicing through the mix. Busy bell cymbal work.
2:16 another nice change that is fairly epic and warm and moving. Could almost be a pop/rock song there, which is not at all a criticism.
2:32 new lead on top with a nice high note. Good delay again. You're really coming up with a lot of parts in this. As always, fairly rapid changes between sections.
Last minute is OK, nothing special. Guitar is good but I'm not sure about those added strings. Notes are fine, I just don't think the string sound or bamboo flute sound good enough - a bit too General MIDI. I appreciate the idea of the final movement but simply think you need to get some better synth/sample software, as I've said many times before. When you get it, you'll take your nice tracks bro to an even higher level. So much progress made in the last couple of years.
Your music is getting a bit more Nomadic all the time. Eventually you'll be able to do a Nomad tribute track, perhaps called something like Nomadicated.
If you can add more brass to your music, I can legitimately call you Brass Bro.
Big congrats.
Nomad, followed by millions of dumbfounded dip shits.

"as the Nomad harvests his soul"
Oooh,.... you don't want that. I've taken out several loans on it and borrowed against it till that shit is thinner than muthafuckin filo dough. Has a pretty objectionable smell about it, as well. Like wet boot and old jizz.
"This is cool shit and it's damn fine to see there's some nice sliding about going down."
Appreciated. I asked you a while back your thoughts on doing a cover or more lap-steel or what, and you suggested lap-steel, so this is the line I came up with, added the drums, electric and bass,..... then it all went to shit. Bass went down, got sick and the flood. Everything after the first section is pretty new.
"Then bass g chugging away, adding some balls."
The lone Ibanez line. It's suicide happened directly afterward. Not the greatest playing there, but I liked it when I did it.
"1:28 slightly awkward change"
The change does lose a bit of energy, but I like the line that I'm playing. Probably could have found something to make the transition more smooth.
"it all goes big and open with a nice lead g slicing through the mix."
That is a Gate, Tube Screamer (PRS don't have very hot pickups), Nick Crow 8505 amp head sim, and Poulin Le Cab cabinet sim. Ended up getting about six different heavy guitar amp sims.
"2:32 new lead on top with a nice high note. Good delay again. You're really coming up with a lot of parts in this. As always, fairly rapid changes between sections."
The changes between sections thing,... yeah, you know I'm not a jammer, recording long takes and editing them, like someone we know. I'll noodle over something, find what I want to have there and play it several times till I can play it "perfectly", then record. I'm not a big fan of songs that stay on the same riff forever. I say do it a couple times, add complimenting jewelry, then move on.
" I just don't think the string sound or bamboo flute sound good enough - a bit too General MIDI."
Very much agreed. It was a last minute thing I did before uploading. I was never really happy with it. But not to worry. That shit is now history. It will not be missed.
"Your music is getting a bit more Nomadic all the time."
Is it? I don't feel I'm picking up any elements of your style, except maybe when I use heavier delays. I do, however, use every bit of advice you've given me when doing a new track. I think more about the drums and try to use less reverse cymbal, work more on structure and keeping "cheap" sounds out of tracks (which I failed at here, though it's now removed). I've stopped playing my music for family, wife or friend(s). I feel like I'm putting them off.

You probably didn't see this track because I've been kicked in the nuts by life over the past month, and have not been very involved with the site. My fault, not yours.
Thank you for the kind words. I enjoyed making this one and have another one coming up soon that was a total bitch to make and really challenged my patience and mixing abilities.
Thanks again!

Like Nike. Make this track more like Nike. That's what I suspect Mr MiniFinger believes is missing. More Nikeness, please.
All hail Tha Mothafuckin' Valve.
And The Nomad.
But not The Evanator. Just a half hail for him.
Nomad, just praying for you to show me where I'm to begin (incorporating the Bass Broery into the Slupergroupery)
Finally, Airwalks came out and I was in love. I was never a skater but loved, and still love, the flat-soled skateboarding shoes. I still dig the Vans. Can't shake it.
Half hail for Evan,.... No hails for Nike. They can lick a dick.

What does that mean?
It's already done.
Been done for a while.
I'm doing other stuff now.
What are you doing?
on Mile-Deep Island by Evisma
Let's begin with the track, then we'll get to business.
First, the production quality of this is spot on, flawless, my friend.
You have an interesting style. It's definitely all your own. I know that in the past there has been comparison to Justin Chancelor. But, I think the only real comparison would be in the tones. The playing style has it's similarities, but the overall emotion and underlying themes are vastly separated. Which, in my own ear, makes it incomparable. Yours is a much more inspiring sound. Like the rise of the unsung hero. Even when you go with a darker theme, there is still the moment of triumph. As in, victory. Not the motorcycle. Or the insult dog.
This track is no different in that regard. The opening riff sounds like the beginning steps of an arduous journey. And as the song progresses, so too does the "hero".
You have a way of combining such light elements to create a heavy sound. But never with any overcrowding.
I hear the "Irish" in there too. It's the "widdly widdly" combined with the tone of the guitar. It has a very Celtic sound to it.
Listening to this, I can hear exactly what kind of synths, and where I would put them. Not that it needs them, it's just how my brain works.
This is definitely a rocker. Awesome work, as always.
Now, about the other stuff. It's funny that you guys brought this up. Because, not only have you and I talked about collaboration, but just the other day I was wondering what would happen if Static and the Valve, or Sloe, or whatever you want to call me. (Personally, I kind of regret the name change, but after making such a histrionic deal about it, I'll just leave it. Unless there was a mass uprising for the return of Valvedriver from the dead. Which I don't see happening.), were to join forces and bust out a collab. I imagine it would be something like trying to smother a fire by dowsing it with gun powder. Or, nothing like that at all.
I'm fully game for giving it a shot. Just keep in mind that right now about 90% of my time and emotion is going towards that shit I've been dealing with since August. Of course, this might be a great distraction from it, too. Maybe it's what I need to be inspired enough to actually put out a good track again. It's been awhile. Either way...I say go.
I haven't replied to Static yet, but will be doing so shortly If you talk to him in the next day or two, let him know I'm on board, and will be getting a hold of him.
I have a bunch of tracks that I've started, or are just sitting there in "sketchbook" form. Maybe you guys can do something with them that I never even thought of.
So, yeah. Get ahold of me when you have something that needs the dirty sloe synths, or whatever I can contribute.
Laterzgaterz.
Aaron
I don't see a mass uprising either, but I've thought about this for a while.
My opinion? Well, here you go!
Keep the name for a year. It's a transitional name. Maybe you wont put out anything worth a damn in that year. Maybe you'll write some awesome shit that is a result of the tumultuous times. Either way, Sloedirt is just stepping in till the mutha-fuckin Valve feels like the mutha-fuckin Valve again.
At some point, I'd like to see Aaron walk Sloedirt into the woods, and come skipping out with The Valve, both with bloody hands and shit-eating grins. No Sloe to be found.
A month from now, or in Trump's second term,... just not yet. Right now you need him. Sloe needs to take everything into him, absorb all he can, then when the time is right, be set ablaze. Make him a receptacle of cruelty, anger, apathy and frustration, then blow his fucking brains out, cause the Valve is gonna fuckin live again!
ALL HAIL THE MOTHERFUCKING VALVEDRIVER!!!!!

Good to know that The Bass Bro is down with the Slupergroup and happy to make your day. Hearing that makes my day. Has being told that now made your day?
Your day will really be made if we ever manage to get anything done. Even more so if we all like it.
I do remember The Valve saying that he would like to jam his synths in your bass hole and you suggesting he bring the valve oil. Maybe there is room to squeeze The Nomad in too. If not, the bog that's thick and easy to get lost in will have to do.
I am not an alcoholic, a dumbass or a screamer. I'm not great at tuning guitars (I have to use a tuner or I have no chance) but you won't have to be in the same room listening to me take ages over it. No, the worst thing will be having to deal with various back and forth emails, which is so totally unrock'n'roll.
"this won't be like actually playing with someone"
No, it's not and I still really need to do that. This is something else entirely which could be quite interesting.
I've sent The Valve a message mentioning the offer and directing him to this track to see the conversation as well as just listen to it.
I'm looking about my leftover projects for one we can start on. I do have some rock-related stuff which I think will appeal to you. Seems unlikely you'd want to work on a chillout hip hop track so I will now have to regularly think "Would The Evanator like that? How about The Valve?". If you don't, you must be honest as there's no point working on something you don't like.
If The Valve is onboard, maybe there will sometimes be a track that only 2 out of the 3 work on (for whatever reason). But let's not worry about that now.
This might be how you end up a co-composer of a sick 17 min track bro. And how I end up playing on more short tracks. Could be good for both of us. Maybe I can make both of you play on some funkier/bluesier stuff.
I'll probably email you an MP3 of a potential first track in a couple of days. I'm just trying to kock it into a presentable shape.
Collaborative Nomad, jamming another dragon down the bass hole
I'll start in on Satan first thing, and probably send several different versions or angles and let you do comp-tracking. Files will be from start to finish, not a chopped piece that goes there and a snippet that is extra, it will be a solid file like the bounced mp3.
I'll get back to you and the valve soon.

Well, actually, I greet you now (consider this it) and then you greet me later in your preferred, possibly creative, manner.
I still can't hear a problem with the ride and toms in the middle section here. I listened to this three times in a row while typing the whole message and enjoyed it each time.
I forgot to say a few things in my A Different Kind Of Dangerous reply. The track sat there for quite a while (a few months) as just that guitar-as-bass riffage with no violin, layering or clear changes and only about 2 mins long.
I strongly considered asking if The Evanator or The Dirty Sloe Valvebro might like to try coming up with something to go on top as I was really struggling to make it anything more than single line riffage and drums. But I decided it was my job to finish it so I did.
A while ago I was going to propose that The Evanator, The Dirty Sloe Valvebro and Tha Mothafuckin' Nomad form some sort of online band of bros with the mission statement of occasionally collaborating on some of the nicest tracks bro known to man (or beast). I never got round to suggesting it but I guess I am now and I have thought through how it might work. We all use different DAWs so the person who starts the track would be the mixer/producer, with the other two sending in audio and some MIDI parts. It could all get a bit complicated but it might be worth giving it a go, alongside each of our own tracks that we keep all to ourselves.
I hope you're remembering not to segment my posts*, bro. No one likes a post segmenter. Scum of the earth. The posts don't like it and will fight back. I'm training them up right now in offensive anti-segmentation manoeuvres so they will kick your ass and fry your balls the next time you try it.
It is true that they did initially feel lucky to be segmented by you but you took it too far with all the tiny circle intimate place rubbing. It's like a girl you meet in a bar who's happy to just talk to you but when you slap your wang in her ear, you've crossed a line.
I hope you're extremely well.

"A while ago I was going to propose that The Evanator, The Dirty Sloe Valvebro and Tha Mothafuckin' Nomad form some sort of online band of bros with the mission statement of occasionally collaborating on some of the nicest tracks bro known to man (or beast)."
Ahh, a looperman supergroup. Loopergroup. No argument here. Mr. Dirt and I have mentioned it in the past, but have yet to present anything to each other. I've been waiting to have written something with a longish breakdown so his synth badassery can be displayed without my over-riding bass guits.
The Bass Bro is down. I may not be the most punctual, but I don't think any of the three of us are very punctual. I do like the idea.
Your proposal made my day. Been about 5 years since I played with anyone, and they were alcoholics and dumbasses, and the music was heavy with a screamer. Not my favorite. I know this won't be like actually playing with someone, but it's a good feeling to have qualified people to write with who aren't all about getting trashed. I'm also pretty sure you know how to tune your guitar. That puts you over my last guitarist. Always tried to tune by ear,.... with heavy chorus on! Maddening!
