on The Chase Prod By Legendary by IAmLegendary

yo, Legendary! so smooth, but full of smart moves! nice playing, bro!
and u know i use lotsa loops — i think you just made some kind of promise here, so look out.

IAmLegendary replied 23rd Mar 2021 - 4 years ago

Still undecided on the loop creations

But,

If it happens you will know!

As always appreciate the words!

Legendary!

on horse to water by Zootman

damn, mate i love the track and must say that wah gtr is just exemplory. solid bass and keys as well, and the looping is really organic. dub fx spot-on. and the pissed-off riddle is the icing on a lake. far out!

Zootman replied 23rd Mar 2021 - 4 years ago

thanks man, actually my other half just pointed out (and I kind of had it in mind already) that the vocal doesn't really fit the music - sounds a bit too pissed off! I might have a crack at redoing the vox at some stage to see how it works a bit softer.

on Need You by raymond2wilson

hello. i love the melting feeling you’ve created with this track. vox/lyrics are really well-performed, great pairing. the cycling and trancy music is intriguing and fitting, the gtr is esp fine and the never-ending roll of the drums suits yr theme so nicely. ace track, man!

on Knee Slapper by db4dub

awesome pseudo-scratching. abstract meta-narrative a little reminiscent of negativland but this benefits from a tighter, more compact approach. very cool. cheers, man!

on Gorilla in a Car Chase by Grapeape2000

very fun, very cool — man you wring the hell outta that phrase and the permutations really worked. the drumming brings it on!

on Aalloilla by TheseMetalDays

man i really dig the sensibilities behind this gorgeous music. the timing and instrumental arrangement are flawless, and the composition has a delightful flow. top-notch!

TheseMetalDays replied 19th Mar 2021 - 4 years ago

Timing is flawless mostly because of my sequenser. I managed to hold my urge to play my guitar on it.

wow, what a cool and interesting composition. very linear but full of surprising passages. the piano is very beautifully realized. outstanding music, my friend!

on Life after Covid by Jynxz

ah, man that drumming is fierce, it provides the jazzy vibe i love with spoken word, some of this is like miles conducting parliament. very interesting mix, it does put the listener on edge, like life after covid... maybe next year... ace track!

Jynxz replied 17th Mar 2021 - 4 years ago

Hello xstokes,

I'm relatively new to the programable Drumming game but,
I'm really lovin the creative freedom that it gives you.

You looked directly into my brain when you mentioned the
mix/mashup of the Vocal and Music, that in a normal world
would never meet.

I've got a couple more of these type tracks, I basically
threw this one out there to see what my fellow LMer's thought about it. Your comment a good sign.

Thank you for your listen and comments.

PEACE...

this is sooo good i would love to hear an extended Mad Professor-style dub version! i am a big fan of instrumental reggae, so i dig this as it is. beautiful arrangement and the closing horn section is bliss! peace bro!

on Vibration by Juliooliveira

Julio, man this is brutal! def needs to be experienced in a club, this is deep impact. has a cool steampunk/mecha edge that really takes me to the darkside. you are evil, bro!

Juliooliveira replied 17th Mar 2021 - 4 years ago

Hello Xstokes!!
I would also love it if it could be played on any club's speakers.

Thank you so much for listening and commenting!

your choice of ambient is ok, though ‘chillout’ is the other obvious genre. i hope it brings you more notice, this is great stuff. cheers, bro!

on Just Chill by swtm3

hey man, this is so buoyant and well-produced! it’s a great arrangement and i particularly enjoy the drum sounds you chose for the piece.
umm, you might want to change the genre tag, it could draw more listeners... i wish that tag could go away sometimes, but it is there.
peace!

swtm3 replied 14th Mar 2021 - 4 years ago

Hi there and thanks for your reply! Shure i do change the Tag but which one do you recommend?

Be safe

Cheers!

on Cause and Effect by Juliooliveira

damn Julio! this thing is a rocket! i’ve only heard two of these songs (i’ll catch up) but man this project is resulting in some of the most exciting music i’ve heard using Techno as a starting point. this track is pure fire, the climax when the guitar starts melting into bagpipes is glorious. aces, man!

Juliooliveira replied 14th Mar 2021 - 4 years ago

Hello Xstokes!
Thank you very much for the feedback! This effect on guitars I made using a plugin that I like a lot, A1TriggerGate, using the functions to simulate tremollos.

Thanks bro!!

yo Mc! great psychotronic score, some really amazing sound transforms going on in here. the ending almost left me laughing, but it ended up being genuinely unsettling. cool departure from you, bro!

deeply subversive and engaging listen, very cool developments — i really dig it when people play ‘inside’ a genre.

mudhoen replied 13th Mar 2021 - 4 years ago

Thanks a lot. I dont like to be a copy/paste producer and find my own taste for the style of music. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Glad this one did!
