very sweet spacy/earthy mix. versatile but retains it own identity.

gorgeous melody and instruments— like an artifact retrieved from the site you describe in BB’s reply.

on Stratton Moon - ft steelyvibe by zipbass
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.

hyperactive, hell, hyperbolic af attack of the 50-piece jazzfunk arkestra sun ra left a burning fragment of behind upon his return to saturn.
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.

on Massachusetts by theHumps
hello Wayne! there’s such a depth to this song, and you really perform it with heart, man. there is no cheating going on here.
you always make the subjects of your covers feel like new finds, my friend!
theHumps
theHumps replied 27th Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
This one has more "singing" in it than the growly vocals in the rock and punk songs i've been doing lately. The backups are always fun to do in any song, this one was challenging but i never fuss much with things.

Thanks much for the words!

on Surge by pseudoble
just love that lilting trippy country feel, the reading is just as good as it gets. the air of breezy creativity and warmth and sense of place is feckin transcendental man. brilliant, utterly transporting music, ian!
is this a found piece of vox? rare stuff.
pseudoble
pseudoble replied 20th Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
Hey Michael - thanks for checking this out - I think there is some more I can use from that squeaking gate, with less manipulation, but you know how it is once you start exploring what the software can do and blending sounds - the vox I found at the https://poetryarchive.org/. I hope that given the context (ie; lounge room amateur and not for profit use) using this is not a problem but can take it down if it is

maj! damn i’m glad you brought this back up front! for us who missed it the first time, i mean! the vibe is preternatural and predatory as a cat. conjuring music, this is special, mate!

Hey my dear Mike.
My chest is still hearting, that's why I don't spend much time on the keyboard or the guitar.
I thought to bring some of the oldies up.
Many thanks for your kind feedback.
I am glad you liked it.

on EndLessLoop by Jynxz
oh, brother, that first change at :38 just made me both sit up and set back for more, and having read your desc i knew i was in for something special. over with way 2 soon!! ah, the swinging piano is brilliant, as is the stabby synth lead. and yeah, the rhythm section takes no prisoners! i am really glad you uploaded this for us!!

Hello xstokes,

I was very happy with the way this track turned out.
I had just gotten the Bass and Keyboard VST's when I
wrote this and was a little afraid that I needed to play
with them more before I posted a track with them but, apparently that fear was just me.
I'm really glad you found this track interesting enough to Fave it. That is a sure indication to me that the music I'm
making is going in the right direction.

PEACE...

on Water Treatment by Zootman
hmm, this proves that one can go spelunking in the rain. gorgeous and very subterranean mix. the motif cluster is especially cool, there’s some crazy folded spaces between the notes that ooze from the rumbles like glow-in-the-dark cave painting. bliss to my ears, chris!

Zootman replied 7th Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
Hi there, subterranean was what I was after. I had a friend a long time ago who was a spelunker. Mad as hatter (maybe goes with the territory), loved his psycadelics but an interesting and lovely guy.
