Yes, you are correct, this sounds very well recorded! I have listened to this style, or it's US influenced counterparts quite often recently, and I really like this type of pop influenced, tribal beat driven music. I'm hoping to learn that these are your vocals, because I find them so healing and engaging! I have no reference for the lyrics, but I can still feel the power contained in them. I like the positivity of the music and composition. Fine fine work! For sure a favorite!
Thank you so much Spivkurl for such sweet and encouraging comment.The lyrics are written in Zulu language,and I wrote the song myself.And the lady's voice escalated the whole feel of the song.I am glad you truly like the track and Favorited it.The message in here is extremely deep and resonate with a lot of people.Anyway thanks for listening buddy,and keep doing great music! :)
Never been a big fan of the original Tron films, and I felt that the recent rehashes were a big sick joke. because of this I have little frame of reference for this work. It is not something I would listen to unless it were in the background of a film with respectable plot. Time passes, we all move on... we're not gonna take it... any more. It reminds me of all the film makers trying to make fortunes from things they've done before. I like it when people do something completely new, something that isn't repetition. I apologize if this is offensive. I accept the song for what it is, but do not entirely approve.
LOl, Why would i take offense? Cause you said your opinion? Thats what we're suppose to do, isnt it? But i will say that you seem to take things much more serious than i do. I've seen bits and pieces of the first Tron and havent seen a minute of the newer one, lmao! I was asked to contribute a track for a Tron inspired comp, so i did. Hhaha.
We've talked back and forth for almost a couple yrs now Pat. You know i like what you do. But i have to admit, your last comment "I accept the song for what it is, but do not entirely approve." mad me laugh, lol. I accept you do not approve, but i assure you, no women, children or animals were harmed during the making of this track, lmao!!
Do me a favor, if you like my next track, can you say "I'm Spivkurl, and I approve this track" :)
Very interesting track, which to my ears has the sound of a "Savant" before he had as much experience. The synths sound nice and chill. The mix definitely need a lot more time put into it to make this a fabulous song, as many elements sound basically lost in the confusion. Maybe try less layers and you will have more success. Consuming more than we need for the same results only has bad consequences. I enjoyed listening though, and I think that as a song it has much potential!
I'm understanding your work a little better, and I can totally appreciate the power and anger here! For me, dubstep died in 2014, but you could maybe keep the dead with us (and that can't be bad!). The break is definitely a cool change up, and I seem to recognize the vocal part, though I can't say from where. You almost make me want to make some strict dubstep again! Seriously cool! Faved!
Thank you! (the intro is really bad imo, but i had to do one, i dont like making intros tbh) i think i know where you heard it first, it was this track from me http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/150093
which you even commented on c:
Its a vocal from holly, i mentioned her in the description, she has great accapellas, i just reversed it on some parts, put some reverb to it and cut it the way i wanted it to work.
thank you for your kind words! i appreciate it, but you are right, dubstep is kind of dead. I dont really feel like dubstep anymore too.
But would be cool to hear some from you :D
I think the thing that stands out about this track for me, is that it is pretty loud due to the sparse nature of the composition, as opposed to being loud because of an abused plugin. You can tell from the clarity and the waveform that the audio hasn't been destroyed. I am not a fan of the style of the vocals, but that's little to do with you of course. There are some creative moments in the song, and I think you've done well. Keep at it!
I started listening to this, and then felt the desire to go and view the painting... not surprising that the painting felt instantly connected with the music! It's like I could see it before I clicked the link, within the music. Very creative stuff. I think that you coaxed some good sounds out of the single synth, and I could see the frequencies being even more broad if the sounds were created on different instruments... but then the whole "vibe" may be lost, so it might not be worth it. I really like this one! Thank you for sharing! Fave!
Out of curiosity, I am visiting your track to hear for myself what you are doing. While there are some cool patterns going on here, I do feel like this validates what I've been discussing with you in the forum today. Even the quiet sounds are loud, and the whole thing is compressed to the point of sounding distorted. If you back of on that threshold/gain then maybe the dynamics will show through, but at this point I can't turn my speakers past about 10% volume without it being painful. Like I said there are cool patterns in the composition. It's a good idea for a song, and I wouldn't dare criticize that aspect. Only trying to help!
You have definitely become one of the serious trance-masters, at least around Looperman (beyond that I wouldn't have a clue!)... and songs like this show exactly why. It's not even near my favorite style of trance, but you expertly execute it, and it is trance inducing, so I must appreciate it. I think the main thing which could propel songs like this even higher, is if they were not obviously virtual... I would love to hear the same "information" converted to sound with actual circuitry creating continuous waveforms, and forcing them through joyous filters. Don't take that as any sort of offense, because I enjoyed listening, and I feel the same way about most songs of recent years. Great work!
This composition is sounding very cool! Your bass and guitar work flows so well in the context of the piece, and seems to tell a story. Very interesting synthesis throughout as well. As far as the subject matter goes; I am by nature a very skeptical and paranoid person. I see all these images provided by NASA recently, and they just look like digitally envisioned hope. I don't believe any of it, and I think of it as just one more distraction from the problems right here at home. I realize that it gives some people hope, but I prefer to find hope in correctly living. I think that your song has far more realism than the space programs offerings. I think you guys have performed very well here. I suppose I could add that the whole track sounded very loud to my ears, but it's not important. I enjoyed listening, and I thank you for the opportunity to expound. Great work!
Hey Pat...digitally envisioned hope!...nice one (that would make a good album name!) I'm a born sceptic myself however I do believe that scientists in general do possess at their core the truth of empirical scrutiny, it's more often when their findings are manipulated by government policy or corporate management that the real deceptions start....Yes the volume!..it's pretty obvious that I fell asleep at the wheel( virtual mixing desk! lol) while laying the drum track down....."but officer I was getting into the deep end frequencies and over compensated I guess"...thanks mate! your input is always totally spot on and beneficial...cheers Dave :)
Yeah dude, this is sounding killer! I've heard many of these sort of sounds so many times, and yet they never get old. This sounds especially '85-'86 to my ears, which is super cool. I love it when music like this shows up in the background of those old movies or shows. Not sure what sort of lyrical theme, style, or language you had in mind, but I could definitely give it a go. I know a lot of people around here a repelled by my singing, so it's up to you. Either way, excellent piece of work here! Total Fave!
I had trouble finding something new, mostly because the tracks are not chronological on your page, so I landed on this one that I had not heard yet. Cinematic music, without a film context to go with it is not my favorite sort of thing... or at least when a song is made to be cinematic and not just a regular song used in a film, just to clarify. I really do like the epic percussion a lot though, and I could see it enhancing some sort of film. The string chords are not my thing so much, mostly because they have a rompler vibe to them... but that is all personal preference of course, and a lot of people love those! I think it is composed well though, and you seem to have a knack for this style. Keep at it!
Pleasantly surprising! I expected that it would be loud to the point of wanting to turn it off, but it was pretty well balanced. The autotuned vocals bothered me slightly, but did not take much away from the overall track. I like the arrangement and the mixing. Fun to hear!
Thank you for taking the time to listen and drop a comment.
I feel like i'd have to make something (but i don't know what yet) about the chorus to make the track better. But i'm still glad the overall "works". Thanx again.
As a virtual orchestral cinematic type piece, I think this has much merit! The minimalism lends to a nice clear mix, so that is good. I actually find this makes me think of how a remix would be, maybe in the style of older Aphex Twin... with some crazy chopping in the piano and strings and some stereo ambient clicking percussion. I don't, that's just where my mind went when hearing it. I like it as is though! Nice work!
This is a very signature song from you, as far as my ears hear it. The panning guitar parts are definitely part of that signature. Fun and groovy throughout! Definitely more influenced by old style country, and not this modern pop junk they try to sell on the radio. Makes me happy to hear your stuff again!
Rockin and trancey at the same time! Fun to hear some of your newer works, so thank you for the message! Glad that you are still making music, even with any challenges in life. Thank you for the mention on your profile of me as an influence. It's much appreciated. This is sweet for being loop based (aside from your ever improving vocals)! Dig it! Faved!
Your encouragement ius always appreciated and I thank you for listening to this one. It is about a guy from Loopermamn whose screen name has changed several times but I think his real name is Estephano. vig
Hey this is pretty sweet track! Reminds me of a slowed down jungle track or something. I'm thinking there would be two main reasons that your subs are not "bigger." First, the whole track seems very heavy on the high frequencies like snares and high hat percussions. If those weren't peaking quite as extremely, then you would free up some headroom to gain the whole mix. That might balance it out. The second idea is a bit more unorthodox... this sub bass is actually very sub, and those are meant to be felt more than heard. While I can hear it, it would be far more audible if it were raised up an octave. Obviously if they are loop based, this might destroy the quality, but if they are virtual or hardware, then it should be a simple matter. Sometimes a bass will surprise you on higher octaves. Hope that helps a little! I did enjoy listening!
Yes, this is a very good rendition of an eighties pop track! It's an impressive feat! I think the style and balance of the mix has a lot to do with the old style vibe, and it sounds good this way. Fun vocals, and you used them well. Very fun track to hear! Faved and DL'd!
This reminds me of the days when new age compact discs were offered everywhere you looked, even "as seen on TV." It was really unavoidable around 1990 or so. I was happy to see that pass on, but not the loss of meditative living and peace which disappeared with it. So you can see that I appreciate it for what it is. I think this is mixed very well, and has some great musical merit. Thank you for sharing!
This is pretty fun to hear! Uplifting and ecstatic in a way that I usually hear in more trance type of songs, which is a good thing. There are some nice synth sounds used in here, and the composition and arrangement works great. If this were minimised a bit and you found a good singer, I could see this turning into a cool modern new wave sort of hit. Very cool stuff! Fave!
Hey, sorry for the late reply. Glad to hear you liked it, I guess it is kinda trance too. Some vocals would be great on this but its hard to find either a good vocalist to work with or something that fits from this site, and believe me I've tried! Thanks dude.
Pretty cool stuff, and has your signature for sure! Since you mentioned FL Studio, I couldn't help but wonder if you have upgraded all the way to v12.2 now? My main studio is using that one now, and it seems pretty good, aside from my usual gripes of audio clip and recording facilities. The interface is nice though, and has opened my mind a lot. Definitely a grimy track, and gives me reminiscent vomitous chills of 2012 (for some reason). Great work!
Dude, this is sweet! "Uplifting" is exactly the word which came to mind after hearing the first minute of the track! Always dig the style of uptempo dance which you create. Piano work sounds fantastic, and really drives the grooviness. Cool vocals, wherever they may have come from. Keep doing your thing, my friend! Fave!
