hey man, i see u worked the same acapella over a very different type of groove than i did and it works well, i like the minimal beat arranagement, are u using fruity loops btw?, sound palette works well...cool to hear this dude..thanks for listening to my stuff too!
glad u posted this jfw, nice blend of great sounds, superb mastery of the guitar synth too man, really clueless about those myself! faving this man...thanks for posting this track!
hey theduke2248, sorry it tookawhile to come through your way but i made it! i like this alot man, this is definitely bordering on soundtrackish/cinematic for sure...that's what I'm getting into too i hope with the hip-hop I been doing for the last couple of months, anyways i'm reviewing you so...the theme and sounds u used work well, I'd love to see where you run with this man, please repost it if u add and remix it...if u can send the seperate wave files and the orig bpm count, i'd love to try something with it at some point..a good vibe man, i wanna hear it again later..take care
Thanks for the kind words sir,I put up all the seperate wave files up. I would like to see what you can do with it. I'm working on a remix of it right now so I will will have to put that one up as well.
....this is reminding me of some 70's Miles Davis on the serious future tip that only n0mad could envision,i must remix this one you know, you know, you know, you know...serious stuff bro..
Definitely a song that wasn't in my head, but was revealed through the playing with the components. I've wanted to play with DSK Darkness Theory for a while, and found the excuse!
yeah man, this is what i was waiting for, the commercial and melodic n0mad23 with big hooks and....wait a second....rewind, that was a different song i think man..lol...wow, thought i would check this b4 passing out...very different track from your oeuvre...i like the beginning i think the most, kind of Weather Report like, only for those who know early WR, the first album especially with Airto Moreira on traps and hand and other types of percussion..that's some heavy stuff, he's probably my all time fave dude for percs..i like this piece man, a little bit of a different tangent for you and it compliments and perhaps provides the counter weight to your equilibrium sot to speak, now my dear Watson,...help...wait, wait...is it the Hound of the Baskervilles by chance...oops...wrong dimension Sean..anyhows..i like i like...
Funny how stuff goes, isn't it? This actually began with an experiment importing a live kalimba track (the sounds at the end) and upon discovering that I could make my kalimba sound like Balinese gamelan set things off. One thing leading to another. Still, it was inspired and only took me a few days to arrange then a single sit down to a live recording. Glad you dig my Halloween weirdness!
yeah TerriosOne, cool vibe and production here dude....good work with the great acapella, nice mix and good balance...fun stuff man! glad i came by, keep doing it!
v!
this is different from your other work guy, the frog/nature samples work really well and don't seem to overpower the track..i like how u bring in the groove and the ethnic percussion..at some point the groove seems to change a little bit and go even more into the pocket, the levels seem good, i need to hear this a few more times though to be sure..the transition/break towards the end is perfect with the return of the live ambient sounds...like it so far!
v
It's kind of a pairing with "Bonobo challenges the Electric Storm" in its use of field recordings. Yeah, the groove shift is the result of live bamboo jew's harp recordings that everything else is woven around - but I think it does what I set out to do. I now actually enjoy that part, as it really gives it a live, immediate sense in terms of listening. Glad you like it!
mmm mmm, nice man, this is reminiscient of some of the cutting edge futuristic electro hip hop that David Spradley, Ted Currier, both of whom I knew from Unique Recording days, and others who coproduced with George Clinton man during the 80's and 90's, i had a tape that i listened to alot with that Atomic Dog woof woof type of sh*t lol,"Some of my best jokes are friends.." ha..heavy mind bending synth sounds, back then stuff like Oberheims and Prophet 5's, 10's..PolyMoogs, Mini Moog's, Emulator...even though I'm originally a guitarist I've spent alot of years around synths..
heavy stuff...i'll be back...
victormusic01x...
this is some different stuff dude!...i like nepaul's kind of matter of fact delivery and the lyrics are hilarious man, freaky beat...all the ingredients for sometin' somethin' special and unique...should old aquaintance be forgot indeed...great mix, very very good instrument placement man ..i'll be back...yeah baby, we don't stop
yeah dude, this is hard, as always your sense of how to develop the production is on point, i'm always anticipating..where's he gonna go next, where's he gonna go next....one day man..one day! one day i think u and i will work on somethin' somethin' together..i think it's all about complementing one's strengths in a collab and not falling into the trap of overlooking the creative differences between the parties involved and focusing too much on the obvious possible similar strengths...always a good feeling after coming by your way bro and u know i've been a little busy bee as of the late ..lol
thanks again for sharing your artistry bro!
victormusic01x....in the n y C!!...looking forward to a lot of great musical things...
you know i'm digging this man..i looked up your profile and we have alot of similar people in our influences...john mclaughlin, weather report(i went to school with Victor Bailey and jammed alot with him), etc....this is like peering through a looking glass at an alternative reality ..a little world of it's own..
victormusic01x....in the n y C!!.....remembering Jaco rip and Hiram Bullock rip and Mark Ledford rip...bright stars that burned out too quickly
It seems we do indeed have a lot of shared influences. All of those guys are/were top class players at the pinnnacle of the game. Thanks again for listening and reviewing - we will definately have to do something together...
very interesting, very interesting indeed...just after listening to some ultrabase, who had listened to a bunch of my recent tracks...and some vizun, who had also listened to most of my recent tracks, i come across this triple header collab with jersey, sounds really good man...!!! lol... yes i.. damn, this is a great track guys, and i'm feeling that for real, hip hop is indeed not dead......it's just going through a serious transformation...the fluff will just fall away by the roadside and the heavy hitters with the most will be standing
Thanks so much for the comments man ..ur 100 percent right homie keep the fight up and your comments are inspiring bro and all props go to vizun and ultrabase on this one love
this is obviously a labor of love with such meticulous preparation..there is something Philip Glass like about it but only a little i think! would really like to hear this again when more rested in the morning...i'm on a sort of funky hip hop crusade right now myself, but i'm also well versed in the classical and jazz disciplines and would like to hear your composition again when completed...then again is anything ever really completed?? i'll leave you with that...lol!!
thank you for sharing your work!
victormusic01x.....pondering all this technical talk but appreciating the outcome nonetheless
I actually just acquired a bunch of Philip Glass from my roommate, but haven't gotten around to listening to it yet. I'm channeling him on some unconscious level, I guess...
I feel like I've actually spent less time on this than I usually do, at least in terms of composition. I recorded most of the instruments on my first take, with minor adjustments to timing and occasional reworking of the parts by hand, leaving the note velocities as they were but changing timing/volume/volume ratios.
I appreciate the review. If you get any ideas on a fresh listen, please don't hesitate to share them.
this is amazing work, when you start to bring all the different parts man, wow, i've been wanting to hear more of your work for awhile, let me know if it's ok to remix this at some point, i like what you're doing with the genre mixing and different flavors vwry much...nyc calling... ")_
victormusic01x....watching an orange sunset over the nyC!!!!
hey man, been meaning to get over to your crib for a minute...this is hot, i like the sounds and the way you arranged them, the effected vocal is great, it's like you don't always notice it but it's always kinda there, btw do u use acid pro??..i need to listen to this again with fresh ears so i'll be back cause i'm digging the arrangement and the track deserves that...i'm working on those 'pella this week, i think you're gonna like what i got!...
yeah man, this is nice and funky and those flutes and the little picking guitar stuff is my thing man, i played in alot of funky jams in my time, the 2nd section just takes off, don't know if anybody else caught the loop quoting freedom jazz dance deep in there, nice sound for the solo dude, man, I think you and i could come up with amazing stuff..i wanna listen to this again, this sounds very New York guy, like super session player just letting go...very well done, kinda acid jazz, slap is perfect for the track...thanks for posting your work jfw!
victormusic01x....in the n y C...ii v/i vi7b9/bvimaj79.../biimaj913...yeah baby
Thanks for the nice review & the fave. You're right about slap johnson's sax being just the right thing for this. As regards collaboraing on something, if you have some material that you think my style of playing would suit - let me know and I'll attempt to add something worthwhile to it - cheers jfw.
i'm not that knowledgeable about trance and much more with others but I liked this right away man and i agree with some of the others before me about the congas/bongos, they add a different flava to this great track, super production values, the breakdown with the percussion is pretty close to perfect i think, nice open hats...wow, very well done man, is this released??..definitely get it out there dude
this is a special track, i like the mellow mood it invokes, the arrangement and production work well and i like the way you developed the track, the bass provides a nice counter rhythm to the other sounds....thanks for sharing your track!
digging the feel here man, not too many people doing this kinda groove on the site...the vocal sample has the same type of sound i once used totally improved on a mix of g bush 1 talking sh*t ha ha ..can't believe i'm only the 2nd to review..yeah man..i'll be back..
victormusic01x....in the n y C!....got to have kaya now....kaya...kaya...got to have kaya now...kaya...kaya
Thanks victormusic, appreciate the review and I feel ya, not too many people are doing this kinda flow but thats just how I roll, away from the norm and why not express my feelings about trees at the same time right ? A haaaa, gotta love it. Thanks again, as always.
yeah man, this reminds me too of ministry man, nice textures and the voice tracks really complete the mix for me...i used to listen to more industrial in the past and your track is making me want to investigate the genre again...thanks for sharing your work!
Right on man, thanks for the review...I spent a few days in NYC couple years ago and loved it, very cool city. I've kinda been re-exploring the whole industrial thing this past year...thanks again for checking it out.
diggin' the textures here that you are using man....your work is so rooted in the classic electronic giants of the school man, reminds me of not only yello and kraftwerk but also the 8bit weapon stuff i've heard recently...real and direct, that vocoder stuff put's me right back in front of the Mudd club on 23rd st nyc...1981-2..when Arthur took Trans Europe Express and just ran with it...thanks again for sharing your unique sound bro !!
victormusic01x...in the ny c!...ich nie san shi...one two..one two..uno..due...treeeeee...quattro...one two..!!
I'm really happy you've enjoyed this one. I really haven't listened to much of the groups you speak of, but maybe I should be... heh I'm glad the vocoder brought you back to an interesting time! I appreciate your unique and entertaining reviews. Thanks for stopping by!
man, that intro alone is worth the price of admission man...remember the byrne/eno we spoke about the other day, the intro sound coming back later on down the line reminds me of the way eno kept bringing this televangelist in and out of that crazy track on "my life in the bush of ghosts"...you definitely have come up with your own sound, a serious accomplishment my man...this is vying for first postion for me bro..."i'll be back..again!"
Yah know Eno's probably good to invoke here. You know I'm the obsolete tech guy, so I know my way around a bit. Ableton Live 7 LE is seriously crippled (but ultimately useful) you just have to think about things. What I finally figured out and then did this was to create the foundation of the song and export it, reimport it and add the necessary bit then. I love the MIDI mapping and triggering things live! Eno in the early days would dig my approach (imho). neoPrimitivism? Urban Tribal music? It's probably healthy than acting out my fantasy of shooting attack helicopters with my slingshot. Thanks for the fav!
damn guy, this sh*t is over the top man...like illthoughtz said prior man, you got the beats and sample poppin' and there's never a dull moment on the track from start to finish, the spittin' is deadly....really enjoying this man and wanna listen to it again...excellent vibes goin' on here
thanks for sharing your work...
hey edge7, I can only add to the on point review that spivkurl made by saying that I love the blend of old skool sounds and the latin vibes man, growing up in both Philly and New York, I've had alot of good latin vibes seeping into my system and i'm loving the overall sound you got going here man!...would love to remix this if possible...thanks!
Thanks man... will be available soon on my own site...check it... www.loopkitchen.com
Tryin to really push this...visit us and let me know what you think.
Peace!
damn, this is somethin' somethin' else man, extremely interesting how you've distilled this down to...a...dance single!!...man, vinyl, those were the daze.....need to listen to this again as my brain is kinda fried at the moment lol, but I'm already diggin' it dude :)...i'll be back
Flavors are now really only hints, but it is what it is. I'm pleased. The only other Pop Song I've ever made was a total parody of the genre - a kalimba made from a garden rake mounted on the neckless body of a George Washburn acoustic run through an old MIDI reverse sample, with my spouse playing a collection of sticks arranged on the floor in wind-chime nonpatterns. Our friend played subtle electric guitar stroking silent notes and chords with a glass slide and twisting the volume up with his pinkie. His spouse was stroking fingers and fingernails over the skin of a large frame drum. Recorded on analog 4-track, we titled it, "Pop Song."
