From a very laid back trippy start you've changed this into an interesting musical excursion...a great fresh sound from your synth full of vibrancy and space really gives this piece presence...splendid work!..enjoyed it thoroughly..cheers planet :)
Now that's more like it!...You've got a great range and sit comfortably within it...this is what it's all about..a smooth dynamic delivery ..with all the nuances of a true musician....very impressive..that voice of yours can take you places...I thoroughly enjoyed this..excellent!..cheers planet :)
I'm sorry for your Grandfathers situation....the music you've made is testament to your thoughts on the matter..it's always a good thing to be able to articulate yourself creatively in the good and bad times..it keeps your spirit in balance...cheers planet
So I really like this track...I'm with Blair in relation to the effect this has on me...it's ticking all the right boxes for Western and Desert...it's not as dramatic as a typical Sergio Leone header ..but I'm a sucker for anything remotely Western...cheers planet :)
Hey Blake....great feel and I dig your voice!...your hitting a good sonic zone here....this "works"...I guess when it boils down to it that's the main goal...great natural delivery..but with a sophisticated polish...the supporting beat is a cracker as well....nice one! cheers planet
Hey PJB, thanks for your review. Basically, what I believe I lack in vocal talent (since I really cannot sing for crap - my voice was reverbed a little to make it not sound "un-listenable") I try to make up for in great music and meaningful lyrics, so I'm glad you (and Jack) have noticed that
This whole number's in the sweet spot...that's a pro take....a marvellous distillation of one of the major influences within the twentieth century.....That's going to get people on their feet applauding in any club anywhere in the world!....I just loved the outro...Brilliant!..cheers planet :)
I haven't listened to much Glitch....in a way that's good..because it's a whole new area to discover and enjoy....There's a real method to this 'madness' and seeing as you actually created the instruments that made these sounds..I'm totally blown away!...necessity is the mother of invention they say..do you create your 'homebrews' with a sound spectrum in mind?...I think it's brilliant what your doing..I'm really looking forward to whatever else you'll be coming up with!...cheers planet :)
Thanks for listening! I think when I'm bending I really look for sounds that stand out and say they could be useful - rhythmically, musically, psychologically... that sort of thing. Brilliant is a nice thing to say. I've got a couple more songs in the works right now. Thank you for taking a sonic detour with me.
I think this is an excellent track..full of a lot of synthesis..great work!...seeing as how you asked for some comments on it's mastering...I'll give you my two cents...Spatially this is operating on a pretty even keel..everythings more or less up front...to mix this up a bit so things can be bought forward and backwards in the mix..I'd start using select reverb zones within the different instrument groups..like every couple of bars putting the drums back with a Cathedral ambience and then phasing them back up front...if this is done sparingly with all the elements you'll end up with a breathing monster of a track that has a three dimensional quality....it's way cool how it is though...cheers planet:)
dude anything from you i will take anyday! your loops and songs are amazing, high quality and unique!
You know you don't see a track someone else does until they comment on what they could see something happening, and that's just what you did and sounds amazing, now it's just doing it lol. I'll see what i can do :)
Thanks a mill!
God Bless Steve
Rockin' juggernaut!.....I dig this one Randy!..Nothing beats the equation of...Heavy rockin' riffs,powerhouse skin playing,screeching lead work,solid bottom end boogieing,forked beards..and heaps and heaps of volume!...man you are one versatile critter!..a lot of players stick to one or two styles..all the different genres you have played display a great degree of control and insight into their inner workings,and an understanding of probably a more difficult aspect..their subtle influence from the music they grew out of...exceptional work!...have a great Christmas mate and I look forward to hearing more great work from you in 2009..cheers Dave :)
Hi there Dave,
Now...what did you say? lol
Thanks for the great review in describing my tune.
I appreciate all you said and can only say, I play 6 different instruments and thus I love music, and thus again, I will play different genre of Country, Blues and Rock type of music.
I suppose it is my old age and long experience that has helped me cross bridges from one style to another. I put myself into the soul of that type of music I am playing at the time and go for it, thinking like a Blues player or whatever.
I am playing what I want to hear in my heart and soul...Solid drums, solid bass, quiet or loud guitar. I feel this stuff inside and know when I have it and can release for others to enjoy.
That's how I do it.
Plus having quality equipment helps too.
Thanks Dave and have a Merry Christmas there.
Their so much more than an atmospheric phenomenon..since year dot we've been uplifted by rainbows.....I'd like to take up what Chris mentioned...what a great singing voice you've got..it's no surprise I suppose having the control of your diaphragm that you do...When someone sings they articulate the human element like no other form of expression within music..it's this very elemental quality that shines through here...some tunes actually do radiate,bringing happiness and light to the listener ..this is one of those little pieces of magic...superb work on all fronts...cheers mate Dave :)
Hey Randy this is Excellent!...in fact the only thing slightly wrong with it...is that the playing's just a little too tight for punk!...and there's too many chord progressions!...haha the Pistol's couldn't keep up..but Johnny R's vocals over this would be very interesting......it's great to see the diversity in your music Randy....you rock!..I'd really like to see the faces on a young drunk crowd after they discovered the music they've been rockin' to was created by a guy old enough to be their father(and then some!)...Brilliant work...cheers Dave :)
Hi Dave.
My favorite bass player on here! Glad you liked it and I appreciate your comments. I know your a discriminating player that can tell good from bad. :-)
I basically like Country, Blues and Rock. I consider Punk a slight diversion from rock and thus as long as it isn't screaming unitelligible vocals, I'll play it.
My step daughter is 15 and she can't believe a nearly 65 year old man can still rock with the rest.
Just look at the 'Rolling Stones', they look really old, but man do they still put on a show!!
I am trying to get one of my older dsughters that DJ's at a 'Goth' type bar on weekends, to play some of my rock songs, she is still a little afraid to as they might not like that type.
Thanks Dave for you review...always like hearing from you. Will review another of your songs and the others who left reviews here, as that is the fair way to do things.
Randy
A great sounding guitar.I can see your going to spend many happy hours with her...I was looking at some of the pictures from the Martin web site and this guitar has a dual pick-up configuration..mic & piezo...that's really spells out a nice mix as many subtle nuances are lost with just a piezo....I do like the black machine heads...reserved with an emphasis on the sound not the exterior.....keep it coming!..cheers :)
The tuners are a shiny Black. It looks like a powder coat. That stood out to me when I first looked at it. the double pickup system is excellent. I running it about 50/50. To much mic and you can get feedback. I've definately been playing a lot more since I got it. She looks and feels better everytime I pick her up.
Haha....can potentially ruin an expensive hairdo!....this is really good..very spacey..with a tripped out beat...everyone should listen to this!..especially in this place!..cheers planet
Hey Script...glad your exams are over..I'll bet you maxed out the top score! ....getting back to this piece or I should say production....I mean it when I say this could easily belong in a great stage show...it has the unmistakeable character of acting and grease paint about it...figures flinging themselves about with gay abandon in front of gaudy scenery...the ending sequence which has been vynilised is very classy and works brilliantly..I do like a good ending especially with a flourish....your back and your brilliant...cheers
Heya planet! Haha yeah I hope I aced my exams, but I think I only did average. Anyway thanks for the review. Couldn't stop laughing at your comments hehehe.
Hehe...cool Boson...I think you've got a great voice!...yeah ..your right..I can't pick the 'real strings sample'..but then who could since you've squeezed it through 'Impulse' or Camel Space or some such weirdness....it works very well as your on top of the rhythm the whole time.....This isn't weird though..George Bush patting himself on the back..that's weird...cool work!...planet :)
Hey Randy...one of my favourite listens!...what a great mix!..there's some excellent playing going on here make no mistake!....Two very appealing styles blended together in a twanging,reeling,sliding gumbo that's Oh so tasty...from singing pedal steel overtures to some hot flat pickin' turnarounds..this melange really heats up and delivers up a serve of great music that nobody will walk away from hungry....hehe sorry for the food puns but Ern's comment got me salivating...This sort of music is very thin on the ground here at Looperman and it's fantastic that your flying the flag for this style....One that relies on good old fashioned playing techniques and ability...and not what's the current flavour of the month......super work!..cheers Dave :)
Hi Dave,
So did get your boots on and dance the Clog maybe? :))))
I appreciate your long review and I feel good about the tune myself too. Making track after track of each instrument, so as to have its own style and sound and 'flavor', but yet fit in the whole picture without a stumble.
Not an easy task, but very rewarding when the whole project is done and you hear the results of your labours.
I think I need to retire just so I can keep up practicing my instruments.
I was really good on the 5-string Banjo once...able to keep up with Earl Scruggs and had the same detuners to get those dropped string sounds...like on his 'Flint Hill Special' song. So cool.
I am country at heart, but hearing me doing rock songs and blues, I just can't stop making any of them.
So anyways, Dave, thanks again for you nice comments. I've got a mean bass line coming to mind and I'll add that into my next rock tune.
Don't adjust your Television set!....I like the way this track builds up to the main sequence..a cool journey even if I don't recognise the neighbourhood...cheers planet :)
This is going to put a smile on many faces...Such a bright positive tone coming out of that guitar of yours!...This really is flawless..absolutely no dead spots!....I think a lot of people are scared to write "Pop" because they confuse it with "Commercial" sound...writing a good Pop tune is hard work and like all forms of music,it has it's own criteria....It's appeal goes way beyond just being 'popular'.....there's an inner happy optimism in good Pop music and this track is filled with it....Great work Rei!..cheers mate :)
Love that intro....great good time..up track....the synth line is wicked...not that I do it now but this sounds like a great drinking song and that's definitely the main activity at parties!..cool ending!..cheers planet :)
However at what price?.....I wouldn't want to be like Paris Hilton for example....Ok back to the song..first off it's very interesting..there are some things that maybe need to be addressed..some things work and some things don't (In my opinion)...the tempo of the song has a problem in two areas..one. your freestyling with your lyrics(which is cool) but when a new sample is introduced your jumping to sync with it,which makes for a stuttered delivery..two..some of the samples chop and change without allowing any reflection of what has come before...I really like the more classical piano part as it suits your voice..one way to go would maybe get your lyrics down first to a click track or something then add the music later...it's all a juggling act I know but it will help with the final arrangement...mind you in music anything goes and the creative aspect and decisions are for the artist alone...I can imagine that your music in this style would closely parallel Bjork maybe......just my two cents,anyway it's clear your musical expression is going places...that's super cool! don't ever stop..........cheers planet :)
wow, everyone on this site seems so professional, i don't fit in here at all. But everyone has been so nice to me =)
and your definitely one of those. I don't like the reviews that are just like..good song. i like the constructive ones. i need help i know, and you people on here are my only hope. So thanks so much for taking time to listen to my sucky songs. Your definitely a great person =)
Lots Of Love,
Orihime
Haha..I think it's interesting that you placed this under R&B...reminds me of Fireside Theatre...there's a few outro glitches on the sampling..but hey it's the creative ideas that are important and this is full of them....I'd add a little bit of reverb to Brittany's vocals just to soften them up slightly...otherwise this is pretty cool ..I like the windscreen wiper sample a lot..cheers planet :)
Hi Mejdi...my first listen to your work..it's great!..very interesting and artistic orchestration..the mixing of the two guitar styles works very well and reading from your profile we can expect some excellent work from your direction in the future...rock on mate!...cheers planet :)
Oh yeah!.....give me laid back Rhodes comping any day.....I like the drums up front then sliding back a bit for a new insertion...this piece has got great space..room to move..great to play,great for the listeners....I really dig this style..nice and fresh with just the right amount of attitude.......excellent!..cheers planet :)
Carnival time.......some crazy carnival!..the addition of the violin gives this an interesting gypsy flavour....love that tympani roll it makes this piece...I wouldn't have a clue what agenda Barak has in store for us..good or bad this piece could score it..cheers mate cool work! planet...
Very clever!...probably the best 'Framed' call message in telecommunications history.....it just goes to show what can be accomplished with a little artistic forbearance..something that is an everyday occurance and would in 99.99% cases be deleted..has been transformed into a piece that's almost sublime....this is great work!....your musical palette is indeed rich!..cheers planet :)
