on If I Only Could - JP by JPZodiaxe79
hey man nice to meet you. yeah, this was aimed at me at a time when i’m pretty conflicted about shit and it helps clear things up. lots of passion in this, i love how you placed the original pieces and it all hangs together really well. peace!

Thankyou so much for the feedback my friend, really! I'm glad you can relate to it. I've been out of the game for about 10 years. It's amazing to have the spark come back. The joys of recovery. Keep in touch :)

on bout to get heavy by pseudoble
ah damn, ian, this is finely, weirdly spectral wordjazz music. the play of context, texture, experimentation and deep rhythms is a feast. ace track.
pseudoble
pseudoble replied 9th Nov 2022 - 3 years ago
Thanks mate - this is different from the other recent efforts but I liked where I got to with the cross rhythms and the stereo mix with this one. Had to go work earlier today but looking forward to hearing you new one shortly : )

on Pinky and Skinny by theHumps
well i hadda go and google whidmey isle — still out of power from the storm, it’s been out for over a century.
you are a natural with that theremin thang! go west, young man!
theHumps
theHumps replied 9th Nov 2022 - 3 years ago
Whidbey Island is just north of Seattle. I chose that and Portland as landing places to and from the Klondike, sounds reasonable enough to me.

I am going through another tropical storm as I type, windy and rainy now, worse to come today and tomorrow. Hope my temporary roof from the last hurricane holds up.

The theremin is like the harmonica, all the right notes are there, it's just finding them with the right hand then, with about 20 seconds of practice you can hone in on where the good notes are. Over 20 scales to chose from which is handy. Gonna be fun seeing how i can utilize this in my music.

Be safe!

on Deliverence by crucethus
i’m using this track as the means to get the fuck off of earth now!
i’m taking elon’s rocket and dropping him out along the way. bye-bye birdie.
this is ridiculously good to hear today as you intended it. like hunter thompson sez “ when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” my e-day anthem for the midterms.

on Automaton by Killick
ah, had to put off listening for a couple days. and as this about caps a bout 4 hrs of catching up on the loop, o god damn man i know why i am here. ezekiel’s flaming flying saucers as filmed by werner herzog!!
that bass comin over me at 1.21 conjoined with the organ and drumming, the sequencer and stringpads and strings, the buzzing electronics, the mounting ecstatic bloodthirsty rush, i am a werewolf on the moon.
this is thrilling music, cam.
Killick
Killick replied 28th Oct 2022 - 3 years ago
D*mn, you've outdone even yourself with the imagery this time my friend. "Ezekiel's flaming flying saucers as filmed by Werner Herzog." Never in my wildest imagining would I have come up with that lol.

Thanks so much for the listen Mike, it's always greatly appreciated!

Thank you my friend! The rat eats poison and is indestructible, has me cornered now, I defend myself with cheap cutlery.

on Shelter from the Storm by Zootman
striding thru an apocalypse.
spreading goodness among the dread.
the rocks are hard and deep beneath the sea.
and all the sailors dreamers.
man, this is wonderful craft indeed!
Zootman
Zootman replied 28th Oct 2022 - 3 years ago
Cheers man, I was probably most happy with the lyrics above anything else to be honest. Though as well as stealing some of Mr Zimmerman's, there's definitely a nod to Leonard Cohen in there too (with the downing men line) and of course Soundgarden and Black Hole Sun! What can I say, I'm a magpie.

on Quirky synth song by mdeland1
what a blast to inhabit the strange character navigating this track! i lost my brain. quirky and hooky as hell. really enjoy this playing a lot!

mdeland1 replied 27th Oct 2022 - 3 years ago
Haha thank you so much! Was wondering if it was a bit too quirky, so I really appreciate your feedback!

on Valkyrie by TribeOfHofund
i have a serious love of counterpoint, plus valkyries and the looming threat of hel. kill me now!!
TribeOfHofund
TribeOfHofund replied 27th Oct 2022 - 3 years ago
Ha, ha. Well, usually the dying warriors are not in a particularly kinky mood when the Valkyries pay them a visit. However, them girls are hotties, so if that is your thing, just throw a dirty insult towards them, and you are in for the slap-fest of your life. They will probably end it by turning you into a girl before sending you to Hel, but your fun may be worth it. ;-)

hello! what great tune, man. i love the kinks-in-a-garage sound, and all the playing is magnetic. your delivery of the lyrics is coaxing! highly enjoy this track!!

another set of colors, i really like sounds on this a lot. it’s another strong vocal delivery, that melody is pretty far out with the morphing pno gtr and organ.

confident and lively track, my man. the breezy feel belies the interplay going on here, the piano/s are held up by some really special synth parts. great thumping drummin and a shout out to the hats too! you make me feel well, Maj!
