theHumps

Thank you for the nice words.
I appreciate it.
I sing mainly covers but this song i wrote after the Lord raised me from a deathbed.

I would love it if someone would write a song and if i may be so privileged to sing it for them. It will be great.

thanks man, I am trying to make new unique beats ....I really preciate that!

Thx theHumps. Extremely minimalistic piece I made in one take. I do hear other things going on in my head with it. It's amazing how many people felt the need to add to it. A social experiment to an extent. This fluid recording had no tempo which makes it most difficult to add to, yet many succeeded quite well in most cases.
Been playing in two bands lately. Not much time for loop making or original song creation. Learning covers has been teaching me new things. I'm ..... enjoying the learning process alot as I'm a self taught so, it's a good thing.

Thanks a lot Wayne.
I do have to say that finding time to arrange music is getting hard with other commitments coming first, but as usual they are a great therapy and release.
Blessings brother. - B

Thanks for the positive feedback. I liked the title at first, then was going to ditch it, but it will stay thanks to you!

Those aren't really organs but thanks! It's a synth I made in Sylenth where I played with the rate and gain knobs with both the pitch bending (vibrato) and the cutoffs.
I would try and re-sing the vocals when I have the time too, so I do hope it gets better.

Thanks for the feedbacks tho, cheers!

Hey Wayne, thanks for the positive feedback. This one is rather short due to the loss of ideas. I did not know what else I could do to add to this so I decided to leave it where it was. Hopefully in the near future I will able to add to this one in a way that doesn't ruin it but expands it.

Thanks for always stopping by,
Have a great day.

Thanks for the review - I'm not expecting to get too many for this one and it's pretty slow going so far.

Yeah, the drop of the d'n'b breaks around 1:40 is nice. I wanted to start the track with d'n'b drums but then the half tempo chill groove took over and seemed like a pleasant way to ease the listener in.

"Cool transition at 3:30 with the "glass bells"

Yeah - that's just one instrument - a lyre. It does have a bit of a glassy sound.

"The cello is cool in place"

It better be as there's a lot of it!

"I'd listen to this while painting"

Yeah - I thought it might work best like that for someone like you. I like listening to it more closely as there are some cool melodies and changes but I can see why some people would only consider it decent background music.

"Mix sounds good"

Yes - hours and hours put into getting it as right as I could manage.

Thanks again for the thoughts.

Hi Wayne, Great to hear from you. I got hooked on this a bit, that I was up all night one time just listening to it. There's a slightly modified version ready to go up. The current version has a bit of a bump at 7kHz which makes it a little harsh in places. I'll do that later today. Eb is a great key for keyboards but not so much for guitar, so I cheated. Re-sampled the track down one semitone to D. Added the Guitar track and then re-sampled it up to Eb. Slinky eh?

Dear Wayne, I like how you put it and I think you're right. This, as probably all my music, comes out of a soup of influences that's really just the stuff I grew up listening to, which goes back across the last 5 or 6 decades. Different to me is a good word. I long ago accepted the fact that I'm strange, weird, and odd. That this piece is maybe a bit baffling musically I'm ok with. In the end we just make stuff we like to listen to, pretty much, and this is one I would crank up on the road to Vegas.

Thanks, Wayne. I appreciate the kind words and the listen and feedback. I, unfortunately, lost the Master to this and a bunch of other tracks in a computer crash. I have been debating about going in and trying to re-record them again.

Thanks again. Always nice to get feedback.

tv

hello Wayne,

i didn't know Amy Mann, i will see on youtube for videos ;)

thanks :)

Bleep

Thank you, Wayne. I only wish I knew how to get songs on the radio. That would be nice. But until then, all the songs I recorded with Sunny War are at thesunnysessions.com, if you ever care to check them out.

Thanks Wayne i struggled with this to make it work sometimes less is more so i have cut it down lots to make it fit thanks for the comment best regards.

It's never too late my friend..:) Touring with Ed...wow, that would be fun. Thank you so much for continuous support
and liking our work !

With much appreciation_____Leon

Cheers Wayne.
I've got a thing about building rhythms at the moment.
Thanks for your time mate.

merci beaucoup encore!

55 songs in multiple sessions over 5-1/2 months, not just one session...

Thanks for the comment and feedback!

Yeah, these are ridiculous times. When Watergate was going on, which I remember well, we had just come out of the turbulent '60s, the protests, the Civil Rights movement, the riots, the assassinations, Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News with the nightly body counts, the Kent State killings, etc. Nixon had just kicked off the unconstitutional and illegal "War on Drugs" in order to target first Vietnam protesters and then blacks, and here we are, 46 years later, still waging that suicidal mission against ourselves. Having been alive for a long sweep of history, I look back and it's pretty clear that that's where the slippery slope really started which has landed us at this low point of moral degeneracy and sheer insanity as a country. I can't even begin to process the scope of our degradation and lack of understanding of the most basic, basic aspects of democracy, freedom, and decency - not to mention the ability to differentiate good from evil. It's no surprise that the stunning violence of Americans on Americans is growing every day. As hopeless as it is, all I can do is make songs as my witness to the insanity and my criticism of the bs. Otherwise I'd go crazy. Thanks for listening and for your thoughtful comment, I really appreciate it!

Thanks Wayne. I appreciate that you hear the meticulous EQ-ing, haha. Also glad that you think this is an accessible piece of music, I really try to harness pop sensibility without sacrificing artistic integrity.

Glad you enjoyed!

Cheers to you as well
Matt

This is all recorded with a C214! Great microphone. It's a good choice for vocals and acoustic instruments. But of course, a lot of the soul comes from compression and EQ too!
