Hey there, very good feelings in this song! I am enjoying the composition a lot. If it weren't this complex, I would be telling you that it sound a bit like a video game soundtrack as well. Nice choice of sound, and great playing/sequencing. Fun track! Fave!

This super extremely cool! Your keys are spectacular as always, and megapaul's guitar work sounds great in this setting. The drum and bass work is some really nice funky fusion stuff that I can totally groove to! This one is a bit more structured when compared to some of your work, and I enjoy that (being a math nerd and all). I love how with many of your song, I think how it would be great with a talented vocalist, and then half a minute later I'm not missing vocals at all, and can think of it as an excellent instrumental. The instruments do kind of sing in this, so it's a winner. Great jam! Fave!

You definitely captured the feeling and idea of the title here! I like you vocals and lyrics on this one. Nice bass image, and the high end is nice and crisp. Great work!

Hey, very sweet arpeggiations in this track! I can almost envision a string quartet playing an arrangement of this theme, that would sound cool! Kind of has an 80s soundtrack style to it, but with some updated sounds of course... not to mention digital/virtual. The mix and everything sounds nice to my ears. I know it's older now, but I enjoyed listening!

Very engaging recordings and use of them! The quality of sound you captured seems very good. I too have been experimenting with field recording, and it can be very enjoyable. Sounds like a nice place where you live! Sometimes my in studio mic recordings end up sounding like a field recording even if that's not what I'm trying to record, ha ha! Pleasing to hear this morning, thank you for sharing! Fave!

Hey that was really pretty soothing! I like the piano/synth work on this a lot. The drums are good as is, but it could lend itself to other styles of drums as well, like StaticNomad suggested. I think the vocal part was my least favorite part. While it sound cool, I think it might be a bit overused. Would be cool if you got an actual singer on this, and used those sampled parts as like a hook or something. Enjoyable listen for sure!

Hey, this is just excellent rock music! You know it has to be good, as it can stand on it's own without drums very easily. The riffs are used creatively, and you've got some cool panning tricks in this one. I guess my main request would be making the gain a little more gentle, either in mixing or mastering. Really it's so cool this way though! Did you ever find anyone to do some drums? Faved!

I'm enjoying this version much as well! I think that overall I prefer the other version, mostly because of the timing contained within. While urbanshokker's comment was very generalized and cliche when it comes to funk music, it did have some good advice. It seemed like in the last main section, your bass and drums grooved pretty well, but some of the earlier parts seemed to have the bass and drum loops starting on different beats or something. By the end I was definitely feeling it. I think that the instruments are what makes these two tracks "funky" for the most part, and that is important. Thank you for sharing these with us! Oh BTW, I noticed when I click your name below the track title, it would normally show all of your tracks, but instead it says there are no tracks available - maybe should contact Shan, as it seems like a code issue. Hope you are well!

Very very interesting stuff! I guess I'm generally a purist when it comes to trance, so I'll say that this seems like a different genre altogether. For example most of it seems half time, which rarely shows up in the beat and bass of classic trance. Has more of an ambient and dubsteppy vibe to it. Also a good trance song should be trance inducing, which I guess this did not for me. I like your melodies and all, and you wouldn't really need to change those. A main section or two with full time rhythmic elements would add a lot I think. Definitely would help make this a longer song as well, which is also quite common in trance music. Might I ask what the tempo of this is? It's a nice sounding mix so far though, so don't change that too much! Had fun listening!

Hey there, I am actually liking this one quite a bit! The first listen was while I was feeding my cat, so I didn't listen closely, but came back to hear it again right away. I think you've used these vocals really well. I do agree with some of the others about the drums and bass being really over-amped, but I think it is more in the mixing than the mastering. I got the distinct impression that there were some drastic automation events which shifted the balance a bit too much. I think if the drums, bass, and automation were a bit more understated, and the mastering was more gentle, then this would be a real winner! If these vocals are used legally, then I would recommend you try to work something out with the original artist for release. It's cool and unusual! Fave!

Hey, pretty cool stuff here! I don't really listen to or make dubstep much any more, but I can appreciate the musical value of this WIP. Hope you find what(who) you are looking for! Good work!

The bass in the intro hit me hard, and I was quite impressed! When the other instruments began to enter, I got the profound feeling that I had heard this before. As far as the ambient genre goes, this is quite cool and vintage sounding. I wish Ian Curtis was around to do some vocals for this one! Nicely done!

Okay man, I'm totally down to try a colab on this track, it's awesome! Curious what sort of colab assistance you seek. I will contact you soon! This is totally pounding and hard. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Yes, I am really liking this one! Has those trippy high speed arpeggio sounds that I loved so much in old video games. One of the funny differences between something like this and the old video games is that this isn't a round a minute long and looping until infinity! (Or at least until you complete the level!) Any, dig the sounds and the composition. Big fave!

Strange and interesting! Never been a fan of action movies or exercise equipment... but you know it's still a good song! Sounds like it would be hard to do these vocals. An oldie but a goodie!

Loving the "broken beat" feel to this! Definitely reminds me of some jazz, but with a definite samba edge. Cool electric piano work, and the guitar is a nice touch. If my cat were hearing this, I'm sure she'd get into the sax! Fun smooth song! Great work!

Hey, welcome back to the Loop friend! I am digging the sound design on this one. Reminds me of jazzy inspired breakbeat in a way. Cool vocal parts in there! I do have a recommendation though. I did a quick download (thank you for the share BTW), and opened it up in the audio editor. It has pretty strong clipping in all the more densely mixed areas. You may want to check on that and go turn some things down a bit. I think the mix sounds pretty decent, so it may just be in the mastering stage, hard to tell. Also I might add that Gore33's comment was a bit ridiculous and generic. Nice to hear something new from you!

I apologize, I meant to say "now" and not "not"... don't know if it was just a freudian slip up or a typo or what. But since you asked, I am back with a bit of explanation of the origins of chip tune. 8-bit and chip tune are technically two separate things in some cases, but are definitely related. Basically, chip tune is music made with sounds from "chips" or integrated circuits and could be at any bit rate, while 8-bit would pretty much mean any song created with sounds or samples from an 8 bit sound engine. Some chip tune is 8 bit, while *all* 8 bit should officially be chip tune, if that makes sense. Some popular examples of devices used in classic chip tune include SN76477 (used in many old arcade games, such as space invaders), the famous SID chip (used in commodore 64), and the tracker programs used on Amiga computers... also included would be Game Boy, and various circuits using TTL or CMOS logic IC's. There are others of course, and I would definitely include many vintage electronic toys in the chip tune range, such as Texas Instruments Speak and Spell, Casio SK sampling keyboards, and Talking Computrons. Then we get to the fact that, technically, 8 bit music should be recorded and distributed in 8-bit format, and not the more common 16 or 24 bit of modern music. Totally not saying you should change what you do, because I enjoyed listening! Just like discussing this sort of thing, so I thought I would respond. Take care!

aaahh yes, not here's a genuine sounding chip piece! I realize it is probably VST stuff, but it sounds believable! Like I am playing a vintage 80s NES cartridge or something. Pleasing sound, and cool panning in the stereo field. Right on for your efforts here! Dig it!

While I feel that this is not strictly 8-bit chiptune music, but instead glitch, I still enjoy the idea of the song. I realize you have used some 8 bit sounding synths in there of course, so there's that... I like the tribal feel of this. Also the Street Fighter reference is a good move! The 8 bit sounds are VST I'm assuming? Good enough for government work as we say around here. Fun track, and kudos for the creative commons release!

A very well composed chill out piece you've made here! I really enjoyed the guitar work especially. The vocals were very well recorded, though not my favorite style... that is all personal preference though of course. A great sounding mix, and I think it could have a more chill out effect if the mastering were a bit more gentle. All in all a pleasant listening experience!

Cool composition on this one, and I am deciding that only based on the first minute. Pleasing melodic passages to compliment the chords you've used. Seems like virtual instruments, but they are used quite well! I like the dynamic feel of the mix/master here too. I'm guessing that those are real guitars though, they have a nice tone. Who did these vocals? They are pretty potent. Not my usual listening preference, but it has a lot of power to it! Great work!

When I listen to songs like this created by you, and read the translation to english, I always get the reinforced feeling that I need to move to Germany sooner rather than later. If these lyrics communicate your true feelings, and there are others there who feel this way, then maybe I and my wife would fit in there. It seems like people in the US are so comfortable (and complacent) that I have grown to hate all of them, even family and those who were close friends. I firmly believe that the current course we are on as a human race will destroy everything which is of true value.... very soon. Your song speaks to me. Doesn't matter what synth you used here, you made an excellent expressive piece. Reminds me of when the only synth I had to work with was the Casio CZ-101. The good old days. Now it doesn't even turn on... I could fix it if I wanted, but it is like a shrine or grave stone in my studio. Amazing work! Faved!

A very expressive and enjoyable track! I really like the slow potent melodies here. I would love to hear a jam on a guitar to MIDI sort of controller here, with the expression of a guitar and the stability of a MIDI synth. Just a though, I think it could be great! Another masterful ambient track which reminds me of Eno, but with modern software aesthetics. Nice one!

I'm guessing the "na" genre is a genre that is no longer supported on Looperman, but I could be wrong... maybe it's a reference to narcotics anonymous???! Any way, yeah this track is dark and dirty, you're right! I dig it! That clap is simple, but very effective with it's presence. Cool ethnic sort of percs in there as well. The acid synth was a nice unexpected addition! Fun to hear and expressive in a minimal fashion. Nice one!
