thanks for the reply. apart from your creepy production there are some tips and tricks for beginners producers lol. for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_progression lol. If you do not know the melody technology the autotune thing is the only way.
I can't understand dubstep genre at all. At least on looperman.
autotune? no thanks, i know its popular to use it but i say NO to autotune,, i dont really like it, and this sounds so natural and original without autotune.. thos whores dont deserve autotune hahaha
hey. so first of all I am not really a producer, I would consider myself being rather a musician in general if that makes sense. I really appreciate what you did on here. Thanks for uploading a complete composition!
It is a bit strange to me that you need to build up such a long let's say 'lead-in' element from 3:45 to 4:00 to create a tension-release kind of polarity but again: I do not listen to modern dance electronic at all.
very cool. I truly am enjoying this a lot. Very creative compositionin in a fusion manner. There is a feeling in here that you conduct it with such an ease throughout although the expression is really evocative.
Thanks Man...
For me I was just having fun, trying out this new Guitar got more
Guitars now then I know what to do with...
Keeps me sharp just playing them all, hahaha...
Glad you like it and for your comment...
hello Epic. very skillfully produced one. I am impressed!
I really like the way the composition is structured - still quite simple but very creative and different from the usual looperman trap repetitive beats I guess. some sweet synth melodies and little additions here - the favourite was definitely danke's synth loop. great sound!
Still I can't stand long bass notes and the same drum kits over and over again in trap music hahaha actually it sounds annoying to me... and of course that is the reason for avoiding that type of music.
I find the instrumentation type from 1:18 very interesting (the stick percussive sound is too prominent and the vocals need more presence - just my personal opinion).
I really enjoyed kind of soft ballad approach here. I think some of the chords didn't fit too much at places the melody line...
All in all very fine work on this one - I like your vision!
Hey Alex.
I was thinking the same about chords.... Yeah. What do you mean with "prominent" on stick? Should be better with a closed hat, or just leave the stick and reduce it a bit?
Well, that is a helpful comment and thank you for that.
Take care my friend. Peace.
Chris
wow! this is cool. it has the real power. it will sound powerful on any device, there's no way around it!
I just came here to see if my green 'promenade' account is still there - right at this moment I find myself listening to your music... but seriously this is very cool synth jam eventhough it is fully controlled in a way (which is always the case). fine vocal sampling (thanks! - I always appreciate when members are posting lyrics haha) and it has a perfect length for a song (3:44 is nice also).
I assume this would be an older idea developed/finished currently. Am I right? Just curious about the creative process.
Hey Alex, I appreciate you being the first one to listen and comment (again!). Happy you found it to be a synth jam, as really the "jam" in the title only referenced the ending, vocals sample and overall feeling. Just thought adding the lyric would be humorous. I started working on this one September of last year, and worked it on and off throughout the winter... then switching over to FL studio 12, I started working it again. The power really comes from some of the devices used for some of the audio, namely the tyco hotkeyz... It is a very analog sounding thing, partly due to the filter section (or "wah" as it is noted on the toy). It's been heavily modified with gain/resonance/range type additions. Never been great at the hardcore style, but I think this one works pretty good. It's the first song based on this toy. Thank you again for your comment.
this is some really fine production from you. Well written, solid played, nicely balanced... but too short!
definitely a rock territory for me, not ambient that much (more cinematic - rock band with orchestra kind of thing even). Too bad I can hear the mp3 format distortion on the orchestra tracks from 1:34. was it intentional?
I can remember some trance-style synth presets on your older metal song - here no difference (I can hear them on the intro section) but this particular combination still works really fine.
Somehow I find the chord progressions from your song sounding quite similar to the cello intro of 'Suffering' - a composition by Danielsson/Mozdzer/Fresco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE0Avd0uV1g
From my view and experience it seems like there are no sounds in depression at all. Actually it is the apparent and temporary state of absolute lack of creativity. I have forced myself to create and tried to put myself in apparent 'creative' situations to break that state many times over last few years. Partially that's why I am here now on looperman creating the tracks. I think 'depression' is a very profound statement (and ultimate state of being) in opposite to 'sadness' which is only a temporary mood. It may be only a play of words as well.
I do like trance style synth and I am notorious for melding unlikely styles without a care of what the purists think. If it sounds decent I will try it. Man thanks so much for the link to Lars Danielsson ! Amazing player and you can bet I will be trying to glean some of those scales and runs.
Yeah on this track I tried some solo improvisation. I studied Jazz guitar for a while and really got into the flamenco styles with its varied rhythms, fingered harmonics and strong use of scales, modes and arpeggios. I never really applied it much or got good enough to play at speed. This track is slow enough for me hit most of the notes. Layered the guitar tracks with some focal low register. I dig that Baritone.
I tend to think there is not much difference between depression and sadness sometimes. My usage here was referencing sadness with the loss and emptiness associated with the deaths of friends and loved ones. Depression on the other hand set in when I maybe dwelled on the subject too long. Realizing time is fleeting and age is creeping.
Thanks for the nice words here Alex. Oh and I will try to clean up that distortion you mentioned.
I love the extremely peaceful message of this piece. fine production as well! - so different from your other ones indeed. sweet and gentle reverb on vocals! the sound-image of this song reminded me a bit of 'In your wildest dreams' but only stylistically because your message here is so different and much more spiritual.
I am not familiar with guitar works by AllenV but I will check them out!
Fine drums on the intro section - I really like the resonance and grooves, whish you continue a bit longer with them throughout the track. wonderful quasi-oriental atmosphere, I am really enjoying this type of sounds.
Thanks also for nice comments on my last track. I had to delete that one and couldn't reply the comments, hope you do not mind.
Hum....Just trying to do things a little different, then I have been
not easy to say, what you want all the time...Most wouldn't get it...
I guess sometime it's better to dance with it , then try to fight it
and go off the wall some where, then try to make it sound good...
This was simple and to the point, no magic here...Just a good feel...
hey. to jest naprawdę bardzo dobre, chociaż trochę krótkie... nie jestem specjalnie fanem/znawcą nowoczesnej muzyki tanecznej tego typu (moje kompozycje są raczej hmm... eksperymentalne) ale z pewnością mogę docenić niezłe brzmienie i kompozycję. nie tak łatwo znaleźć tutaj dobrych wokalistów, którzy tak po prostu będą współpracować - kolaboracje zawsze wymagają dużo wysiłku. powodzenia!
widzę bardzo pozytywne komentarze poniżej - co mogę więcej powiedzieć... powtarzam to samo: naprawdę dobra produkcja!
hey. yes, it was very heavy-sounding to me at very first listening. I love the powerful synth drum sound in here but still 'there's a limit in my (our) mind'.
'there's no amoooouuunt to my miiiiiiind' (lyrics by Oceanically) anyway.
It is so different from my vision. I want more of an empty free space!
Beside all that (which is a true looperman illusion) I enjoyed your creation!
Thank you for being the first to listen and comment on this song! You can always be relied on for valuable feedback and continued interest. "I want more of an empty free space!" - regarding this, I feel exactly the same way. The "limit" I speak of relates to the limits we set for ourselves, plus the limits placed on us by society, laws, and expectations. Then there are the physical limitations of the organ we call the brain. The limits I speak of are greatly enhanced by the close quarters of the human condition in this ghetto we call the earth. We all have our little boxes with fences around them (if we're lucky, sadly) - we are placed in position which forces us to defend these things with our lives and honor. Since not all of us value the same things, there arises dispute, and the limits of law come into play. This is all in our mind, but is constantly reinforced by external circumstances (which are in other's minds). Hope that clarifies my position a little. I'm happy you enjoyed listening and I value your comments!
I whish I had better awareness to what is really happening on the looperman track section currently but my attention is very selective now.
to me this piece is really dark coloured - very unlike from all of what I could hear from you last time. Probably it is too heavy even as I prefer lighter sounds - I am still searching for the proper convention here haha.
Thanks. To be honest at this point I can't really stop from combining a variety of sounds. The pads and the beginning samples are dnb samples, drums are obviously trap influenced, cinematic with classical elements included. Maybe a bit of ambience. Hell, I know it's quite the combo. lol Cool is always the goal too haha Stay cool Promenade. Thanks again. peace
thanks for the reply. I already managed to make a trrack (trackqq) out of ferryterry's guitars to your 'lovely bones' (them?): https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/167571
I am still awaiting the vocals you promised.
this is some really enjoyable tune, not really a proper 'song' that much for me but just a nice combination of different short instrumental solo sections and that is perfectly fine!
I find the bass line and the keys really inspiring. to me funk styles will always sound modern - they are a true source for a great amount of contemporary music.
I will check out the bands you mentioned, thanks for some nice inspiration.
hi again and thanks a lot for the reply! really good to hear the updates. I love what you did!
also I checked the vocaloid and this is some cool software. I was using a lot of Ivona 'text to speech' synth but never ever expected that vocaloid singing thing sounded that good. you have used it very well, I really like the little counter-melody work at places.
there are still some elements in the background (for instance: synth at 1:05) that in my opinion will require a little bit of work, maybe simply by adding straight chord progressions. to me all tracks of your song are actually playing very similar rhythm pattern... so it is a 'minimal approach' in a way and that's fine - I like your vision.
as for a 'proper song' thought: I need to hear much more powerful instrumental section that might balance somehow the long repetitive vocal passages here. your tune sounds to me like it is not that enough 'structured' so far but of course it is just the way of how I picture the eventual further development of it... will you be reworking this again by chance? if so I can always try to help you by adding something to this project...
Hey good to hear from you again!
First of all of course thanks that u like it!
I never really heard of ivona text to speach, but Maybe I will check it out later, sounds a bit interesting, since I love that kinda stuff to work with.
this track was the first timime I actually used Vocaloid and a Vocoder Over the vocaloid, its a pretty awesome tool I noticed.
I'm not sure what sound you mean at 1:05, I am guessing you mean 1:12 maybe?
Anyhoo my Tracks are usually inspired by daft punk, and usually make repetitive tracks, this was not meant as a 'proper song' actually, but I can understand why you say that because of the small instrumental breaks I put it, I purely did that to fill up the song a bit with only instruments and no vocals.
I wasn't planning on changing this song again, but if you want you can try to add stuff, I am kinda curious what kinda stuff you would do with it.
the song is free to download as you know, the BPM is 160 and I use the measure 3/4 :D hope to hear from you again!
hi. I really like your vision but somehow I find the vocals not present and articulated enough. maybe it's only because I am listening on headphones now... I can't understand the words, can you post the lyrics sometime? I noticed many people on here do not even bother to do that. I think you might even consider introducing other layers on the second section of the track, it can help breaking the 'repetitivity'. repetitive music is powerful as well but I say that because your production sounds more like a proper 'song' to me.
You have a good ear.
To be honest, I listened back to the song and was deeply dissapointed with the vocals, it doesnt sound how I want them to sound, I am well aware of that and fixing what I can in a frew minutes after writing this.
Usually I write lyrics on this site on my tracks, but had the feeling that most people didnt even notice I did, so I just skipped it this time, but I can write them no problem (though they usually dont make any sence, that is how I work :p)
Also the reason you cant make out the words is, because I usually use VOCALOID to do the singing, which is a japanese instrument that produces japanese words, though this version usual english words, regardless the words are barely recognisable
I hope to be able to fix the vocals to be more present indeed, thanks for the input.
