on 6Noww by DFay
how ya doing, bro? this is great-sounding stuff! it is so complete and compact i’m like shit how’s he do that?
i would like to hear more from the project. seriously, this is very interior, i have to guess it’s autobiographical?
the recording is really fine, i love the thru-line on the piano, the rise and fall of the production. very very cool work!

i'm doing fine bro. what about you? Yes, it's like autobiographical but there are some tracks that were supposed to be there that i didn't put cause i wasn't happy with the result. At the end i put 4 tracks about the impact my dad has on my life and 3 others about my experience from love. I’ll put all here but i can only put 1 track every 24h. Send me your Email or a social media account where i can send you the link if you wanna listen all now.
And thank you for your feedback bro

on Years go by by smallpaul
drawn into this immediately—the ambient sounds are used just right. this is like a craft in the water, paddling ceaselessly yet calmly against the tide. haunting and meticulous music!

on Legacy Of The Dark Mind 2 Updated by DijamMusic
not maj’s disastrous year, mate — it’s maj’s miraculous recovery. that this track is a kind of rediscovery is really touching to me my friend. the sounds here represent a grace in the face of loss. bear lends such a great presence to this beautiful, spiritual music. this would be so good in a western, too. keep going, man!

on GrandmaThrowdown aka Grannie Guitar Watson by Jynxz
easty-boy! who allows such raunchy grannies and their nasty gets such freedoms? where are your property values?
a magnificent jam the rhythm section knows when to push and when to hang and gnarly mix of vocal/gtr/syn/organ lines is hot af. leaves a scar. watch out around those watsons!

on EP track 3 - The Rains of the Fall by BaoBou
sung and played with such complete conviction— i wouldn’t change a thing, man. you are like penetrating some far out mysteries here!
thank you for introducing to a new form, the selections you made are masterworks, you give a timeless perf on this. dude did you translate these, that is a hella thing in itself.

Thank you so much man, very moving words!
No, my Japanese is pretty non-existant beyond konnichiwa and sayonara ;)

I based this actually on a Dutch blog post. That guy deserves all the credit, because this is also 1000 year old poetry. penseelvanwind.nl/vallen-op-verval/ is the post - you may not speak Dutch, but you'll see how pretty he shaped the words.

Awesome job, and I tried to capture that spirit.
Thanks again my friend!

on Ravens by Killick
well, i’v had to wait a few days to have the right listening space for this, and so — my god, man what a show! the imagery has me seeing the ravens morphing with atomic bombers and flight on some black helicopters. the composition and orchestration are superbly affective, and that singing is like, on stage. john adams meets ultravox. very, very fine stuff, my friend.
Killick
Killick replied 18th Sep 2022 - 3 years ago
In your comments you always give the most amazing imagery. I would've never thought of birds morphing into atomic bombers but it's a h*ll of a cool thought. Thanks so much man, as always.

What's up xstokes,

I usually like my shrooms on pizza or in vegetables.

How weird is that?

I'm glad you stopped by and gave my track a listen.
I really appreciate your Fave and humorous comments.
I wonder what you'll think I'm smokin on my next track
I think weird might be an understatement for it. lol.

PEACE from the East, perhaps... Unless you live farther
east than Myrtle Beach IJS...

BB, you’ve been knocking them out of the park man! i love the trajectory this has, you have really found the heart of the poem. genuine, uplifting work!

BaoBou replied 1st Sep 2022 - 3 years ago
Thank you so much buddy! It helps to have a great lyric to start with for inspiration, but it's also been a journey to get the track where it is now... I think I'm on version 22 and counting :D

i’m a fan of the pella so i had to check this out. ah, man the sensuous rhythms rub against the cold vox in the right way, and the instrumentation varies and blends wonderfully. much admired.

on Model by DFay
hey DFay, this is tense and different from what i’ve heard from you in a while. i dig the mix and your vox sound really confident. tell more about this ep, bro!
i don’t have one favorite rapper, but when the question comes up i say chuck d because he makes me listen up. how do you answer that?
DFay
DFay replied 26th Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
Thank you very much bro. I 'm trying to push myself more. You know most of the time when i recorded a song, i was afraid to go back and re-record it. Now if i feel it needs extra work, I go back and make the change.

The Ep will be like 5 tracks talking about my dad, importance of a dad from my experience and one track will be about love.

I don't have one favorite rapper but i can say Youssoupha, Kerry James (French rappers) because the way they use rap to make you open your eyes from different subjects.

you’re reaching for the mythic and nailing it, man!

DANG! xstokes it's like that? Sun Ra? Ok, that's way, way up there! But really, there's absolutely no limit to what we can do musically. If we're willing to learn and apply those lessons, we can achieve what we could only dream about a short while ago. THX, much for the thumbs up and fave. Go ahead and have that awesome weekend, and I'll catch you on the next go round.
