hi again, thanks for your kind reply. However I do expect anyone to check out the links cause they are simply presenting my contemporary references and subjective perceptions for sure pointing to what I experienced in the past as a listener. Anyway they may be useful for some individuals in the process of developing their own sound - it's really hard to find some better possible musical references on this song. Good luck. Alex

hi again, very relaxing music - carefully produced and edited with so much attention to details - I really appreciate that! I like the way how you choose some one specific spectrum of sounds each time creating very fine unique soundscape. Your tracks are probably the chillest of this site!
I can see some 'doorways' like at 2:14 when some space appear in the recording and you can go ahead with some double-tempo feel putting some nice improv! That's why the entire track seems a bit too short for me. But of course as a commertial-oriented chillout genre this is a perfect track. I like it a lot.

hi Orlando. I love the first part - excellent atmosphere. This is definitely a kind of ambient I like: slow interfusing pads of great depth. Something Steve Roach-style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSaryH9rOoI

From 2:11 mark the piece sounds like some relaxation-meditative tune. The midi guitar reminds me of some ancient Greek music, maybe a harp or some instrument with pythagorean tuning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1z0zaGDzlQ

Nice ideas for at least two tracks! I really enjoyed this one - well done! Alex

hi, yes I think this one can work somehow as a calming tune somehow. but I will simply suggest you to find some better piano plugin like 'PianoOne'. Its a free vst. There's some distortion here from 0:41 and it sounds a bit weird playing close-position voicings in the lower range. But overall nice effort and tune still works quite nice. Alex

hi, I love the vocals from FutureAnalysis and used them in some of my tracks as well. Nice work - very good synth and interesting harmonic ideas. will you be continuing with this one? sounds interesting so far. nice idea. Alex

hi Anders, here's some track based on yours:

I enjoyed much your song. Thanks a lot!
Alex

very nice beat, kind of easy and relaxing but really interesting as a composition itself - very fine strings! Too bad Im not a vocalist but I really enjoy this song. Well done. Greetings, Alex

hi, nice work - a kind of tribal-vocal house chillout(?). Maybe it's just me but something seems to be missing here... I think only some stronger bassline and some part with chords - they will simply define the harmonic structure of this song. Anyway good work and nice track. Greetings, Alex

hi, I can hear some similarity to the one of your others songs that I listened the other day... I think the one with a four piano notes as an intro. Anyway this is really nice, with good structure and dynamic. Did you create everything yourself or combine loops with some syhths also? Quite nicely put together track. NIce work - keep it up! Alex

hi again, I added some more sounds to this track - I really enjoyed it a lot! Just some keyboards and vocals - hope you will like it:

I just realized I made some quite similar music a few weeks ago. It's not so well produced as yours but it contains lots of improv instead. You may check it out if you like: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/159847

Thanks a lot for a great track!
Greetings,

hi, I really like your sets. they remind me of some music from NAF, Jordan James and some cool older club/dance/radio remixes. love the slight red shifts/blue shifts in here. simply keep it up dude! Love the colours! I wish I could make at least 10min long music as well! Cool track. Alex

hi Ookami, very nice and dynamic track! Good piano part (I wonder if it is just a loop or I can actually hear you playing?) bringing much harmonic clarity and 'stability' to the music. I think the bass-line is always a kind of a crutial factor in a jazz-genre music. That's why I do not see it really as a jazz track itself. I mean... maybe I would expect somehow a kind of a chord-changes clarity in the 16 bars structures here... but it appears for a moment when you intruduce the piano! For the most part it's a kind of a relaxing/new age indeed and fusion nice-music containing very interesting elements (nice mellow syhth solo line!). Even some folk flavors (acoustic guitar?). Nice ideas for music here and pretty creative track. Good work. Alex

hi Scott, nice old styled funky track. Shame they just mostly loops telling me directly whats next... but its good you figured it out already. that santana guitar instantly blending into the trumpet was nice. wow. anyway very funk. some rhodes in the background as well. I like the disco synths. the trumpet is far too much modern sounding smooth jazz a la chris botti. the compession to the drums with some punchig I do not like it. great soul disco vocals you ve quoted here. Overall nice enjoyable track. Best Alex

hi, very nice track. a kind of a quick house feel. maybe its bacause I basically make an acoustic-based music and am always trying to find resonance from the bassline, lower piano notes etc... - that's why I would say I need some more presence of some piano harmonics enhanced here as well... Anyway nice synths sounds!
I guess this is much more of a clubbing-oriented chillout and it works good here! Alex

hi Snow, this is some midnight-romance horror track and quite original combination of styles (hiphop-like piano 0:32, 1:03 - some techno drumming and kind of a d&b from 1:20). nice and quite unusual combination but still works really well! Are you using the loops exclusively or combine them also with some vst processing/work? Really good one - only a little thing you might fade it out gently to the end cause it sounds a bit unfinished so far... Overall very nice production and good track! Alex

hi, thanks for sharing the sounds of such a great quality!
I like this composition a lot - it reminds me of some deep chillout songs I have listened a few years ago. This one evokes the memories and some nice atmosphere - very relaxing and soothing. Love the gentle phased Rhodes and pads in the background. Great drums and funky bassline. Somehow you might add some more ambience to all solo lines - it will sound more even dreamy and far-out than it is already! I like the sax solo - its better mixed in the recording. Excellent laidback guitar playing by Franco. But still the Rhodes make this song! Beautiful production - love it! Alex

many thanks for your reply. ok with the toms. I use also ezdrummer plugun but in a quite different way... I might sometimes be pointing some issues that seem strange and in fact usless for some people cause Im listening to so many music genres at the moment - that's all! Sorry for any confusion. But apart from all that I really enjoyed your track and liked your vision on this song. Best, Alex

hi, really good chill vibes, kind of tribal and funky. Nice production. I like the drumming. Very laidback background warm e piano chords. I preffer it to the solo lines and wet funky synths even. But still it is so good and really relaxing although there's nothing really happening in your song! nice use of ferryterry's sax. I used this sample in one of my song: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160429 I create songs that could be labeled mostly as being a kind of a jazz/chillout genre as well so you might check out others of mine if only you will have just some a little time and simply want to. I use lots of jazz loops like this but mostly my music is improvised.
Anyway great chillout track here and very nice keyboard playing - I like it a lot! Alex

hi again, I like the things you've added eventhough they are just a little bit affecting this composition 'in general' so to speak... Firstly I really like all new drum-sounds: the drum section seems to be more intense and 'present' now always helping to drive the composition - I can see it at 0:47 and from 2:19 mark which brings much more dynamic and interesting colour to the track! I really like the wah effects (2:41) but still the entire song feels a bit like a 'backing track'.
So nice and effective work with the 4/4 meter short motifs on the bass and other guitars(?) playing some patterns that can slightly brake this main groove... but still: maybe only it's because I just want you to have some kind of much longer asymetric melodic phrases breaking this again and again!
well done with all things you've already added to push it ahead and much better drum work supporting guitars. I am really enjoying the tone of the bass guitar in here - it's so nice and it provides much of interesting harmonic resonances!
Simply good vibes!

hope its useful. Greetings, Alex

nice work. very enjoyable piece - melodic and a bit old-styled chillout with really nice cinematic pads. it reminds me somehow of some older relaxation music. Alex

nice tune. very calming and peaceful. Alex

hi, very nice and funny work. I really like all 'cat' sounds. There's some ambient wet noises like waterdrops or something. The breaking of 4/4 meter is good as well as breaking cat's chill. Great work. Alex

no problem:)

wow! this song is so nice. particulary the drums - present and well-defined. Personally I would prefer less processing on vocals - seems to cut off some of the natural ambience but it is of course the part of your work to set it like this. I really like the Rhodes - but again: too much distortion (nice playing though!). I do not know... but just have an impression that it is a result of your post-production.
My approach is quite different as I always try to take off the effects and get the 'realistic' sound as possible. Anyway you could always consider the different angle if its useful.
But here it works perfect: the epiano smoothly drives almost the entire track, there's some sweet backing vocals, bluesy guitars, excellent arrangement - I like it a lot!
Many thanks for sharing the music of such a great quality!
Alex

wow! nice drumming. really interesting combination of drum patterns. but still I do not find it as a house genre. it's too repetitive. somehow I wish it was just a little bit of funky. but anyway great work with all the drumming! nice work. Alex
