Cool stuff, nice flow, even more for being all improv. Congrats man.
Would you like to rap for a track of mine?

Yea send it over. In a poetry type mood. keith89115@yahoo.com but whatever you think would fit, send it. I'll hit it improv at minimum or write.

Man, you have some good work but im just too backed up with songs. This song took a year to develop and record lol. But thanks for the offer. Keep up the good work.

on Marys Black Lamb by Tinka0
Love the intro. After that was expecting it to explode more, still, I do like your weird rythm thing, much more interesting than general mainstream dubstep.

Good work
Tinka0
Tinka0 replied 13th Jul 2016 - 9 years ago
That's a good ear you have there.. It did explode a little more originally, I brought down the decay on the first bass sound to experiment.. I thought it sounded groovier.

Hah, the rhyme was a last minute addition.. I may expand on it :)

on Atmazghees Indian Lightshow by TeeGee1965
Just incredible man. I would just call it psychadelic rock with a lot of influences. Inside that psych chill rock, u go through some different styles.

Thanks man, appreciate your comments. Yes a lot of things mixed in there, all more or less "happened". You can read how it happened in my reply to Mildperil.

on Everything Where It Should Be by StaticNomad
awesome track man, I specially like the intro and the part that brings it back at 2m
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 22nd Jun 2016 - 9 years ago
Hi.

Yes, a fun jazzy intro.

"the part that brings it back at 2m"

Not quite sure what you mean. Oh, I know - you mean the return of the legato sax playing. Now it's over a fat, funky hip hop piano bassline rather than jazz.

Good to hear you found the track awesome.

on Talk To Me by Denyjanuary ft Mildperil by mildperil
Nice man, not much mastering needed for something like this, it's pretty simple and emotional, although, would tell u to try anyway, u never know, gives a new way of making the music sound diferent
mildperil
mildperil replied 22nd Jun 2016 - 9 years ago
I did try to mix and master it a little, but I was honestly making it sound terrible, so I just kept it as it was.

Thanks for listening and commenting though, always appreciated :)

on Inside - Demo by JuxtaMusic
Man, it's awesome, I would maybe let the guitar be a little more real, tone down on the wet fx, but that's just my personal liking, nothing wrong with yours.
Keep it up man :)
JuxtaMusic
JuxtaMusic replied 14th Jun 2016 - 9 years ago
Thank you Darknives. I almost forgot I posted this here! I've been so busy on Soundcloud but I must get back to using Looperman loops again so I can get more involved on here.

on Easy For Me by Spivkurl
Ahah man, you really don't expect where this track goes, your genre definition is exactly right.
Great creativity man, this song is rythm heavy, I like it.
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied 7th Jul 2016 - 9 years ago
Thank you Darknives for the cool comment! I was trying quite a few new techniques this time around, and I think it turned out well considering that. Was very much influenced by spontaneous thought and performance. The vocals were done without the direct alcohol influence, so I needed to do far less editing. I'm happy that you enjoyed listening! Thanks again!

on The red velvet hat song by joecramer
It's quite simple but the feeling is all there, almost looks like a movie soundtrack for Emir Kusturica.

Thanks for your kind words.
I am not familar with Emir Kusturica but for sure it could be a kind of a soundtrack.

stay tuned

on Right Place Wrong Century by StaticNomad
Nice to know man. Hope these 3 I loved will be on those first releases.
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 30th May 2016 - 9 years ago
Sorry, I can't remember which are the three you loved.

Here are the tracks for the first album:

Circular Motion
28 Levels Above Top Secret
Right Place Wrong Century
Three Miles Late
Reckful

That's a full length album as two of the tracks (2 and 4) are 14 mins long.

All of those tracks are currently on Looperman though I have since remixed and remastered them so they will sound better when released.

Thanks again for the interest.

on Nuance Is Futile by StaticNomad
Yeah man, with violin, Im refering to all strings in the song.
The kick can act as the true subbass, as the bass can, in the mix one always takes the sub space. Also, the strings muddle the line between guitar and bass, no need to add more bass.
The digital, I like it, didn't mean it in a bad way.

You ever release some of this songs to the public? Like youtube, bandcamp?
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 30th May 2016 - 9 years ago
Hi again.

"the strings muddle the line between guitar and bass"

Yes they do. I'm still surprised that one cello riff through guitar distortion can sound big and fat like a guitar and bass playing the same riff together.

"The digital, I like it, didn't mean it in a bad way."

That's OK. All my stuff is very processed and "digital". But I use real, recorded, played instruments (played by me) as well as sample-based instruments that sound quite real to my ears.

"You ever release some of this songs to the public?"

No, not yet. Most of my online tracks are on Looperman, some others on Soundcloud and some older ones on a website I never use called Mixposure (kind of like Looperman but so much worse).

Nothing on Youtube but my albums will most probably be released through Bandcamp.

Thanks for the extra thoughts.

on Nuance Is Futile by StaticNomad
Man, apart from an awesome song, those violins just sound awesome, it's weird, it sounds really digital and sounds awesome at the same time. It's like a litte mix of industrial chill out stoner with distorted violins.
Works perfectly, don't need no "bass".

Awesome work man
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 26th May 2016 - 9 years ago
Yo.

"those violins just sound awesome"

The only violin parts in the track last for about 20 seconds, from about 3:20 onwards. They're my filtered, soaring string sounds (one that I have used in so, so many tracks).

"a litte mix of industrial chill out stoner with distorted violins."

So, when you say violins I think you must mean cello as that's the main instrument in the track. All the heavy riffage is distorted cello parts though there are also quite a few undistorted cello parts - you just have to listen out for them.

"it sounds really digital"

Yes, I think that might be because every time you hear the heavy acoustic drum kits, there's always the same dance drum loop underneath. As there are no bass instruments in the track (something which still surprises me) I think that fat kick helps add bass to the track. I know a kick drum is not the same as a bassline but it seems to work here.

And then towards the end you get some proper digital electronic stuff with the synth arps I use.

"industrial chill out stoner"

is a pretty good description.

It seems I cannot make a track that doesn't contain at least some chillout elements. All my heaviest tracks still have not only chillout elements but also chillout sections.

Great to hear you really enjoyed it.

Thanks.

Forgot to say that it's sad not being able to download, would love to have it on my car stereo, where I do most my listening xd.
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 26th May 2016 - 9 years ago
Sorry you can't download this but it will feature on my first released album, whose artwork is very nearly done. Should be available for free on Bandcamp soon.

I've got about 15 albums of material made over the years, which I'm working on compiling into different types of albums. Some chilled, some heavy, some funky etc.
