Your music has always stood alone in my opinion unique, intriguing and well worth listening to. Well put statement in musical form. Right on!(product of the 70's,ha)

I too enjoy songs with a political edge, especially when compared to all of the questionable political items present on social media platforms. At least when it comes to music, and looperman specifically, when someone disagrees or is offended it will usually lead to a responsible discussion. So often when I make my views obvious elsewhere, there is an instant reaction of paid political shills, fake news, and questioning of my understanding of scientific method. Life in Amerikkka I guess.
Art and music seems like one of the few hopes for getting messages across which would otherwise be met with defensiveness. Even if I intend an album to lack political objects, it still creeps through. I suppose the only ways to avoid this would be to burn my microphones or start taking the medication again. ;)
Your opinion of my music means a lot to me, especially since I know that you have a hugely varied listening catalog. Thank you for listening! I look forward to visiting your profile today!

on The end of the Game by traz75
Cheers! Wayne
You can't imagine how many times i had to record these simple melodies and how much time had to cut and edit them in my daw, lol.. I'm the worst guitar player ever (right after Lil Wayne of curse, but he is disqualified for this title :D) and need a few years for improve this to an acceptable level. :)
Regards, traz

on Man Of Many Limits by StaticNomad
Neat track. Mix sounds pretty clear, sounded good. Kept stopping during playback, not sure why, my internet connection, site updates, i dunno. Good trippy stoner music...man. he Like others mentioned I liked the piano intro too, nice buildup. Familiar style and instrument choices that separates your music from others.
Good music to listen to when I do a painting to or a chore, rhythmic and abstract and interesting to let the mind wander. World music sorta, kinda, a bit...
Cheers!
Wayne
Donovan? You mean the 60s acoustic guitar pop music guy? I've barely heard any music he's made but have a feeling I wouldn't like it.
Mix took ages on this, as usual. So much stuff to trim and work into place.
Interrupted playback is rather unfortunate for you. Try listening again with a fully working connection.
"Good trippy stoner music"
I agree. Kind of dark and far out. Maybe a little like world music. It's got some edge and mystical elements that are hard to place. A slightly unsettling vibe but all held together by tight, fat grooves.
"instrument choices that separates your music from others."
That's always the idea - to do something that no one else is doing. That's always my aim but it doesn't always work out.
Thanks again.

on Golden Day by neuromancer56
I give people a lot of credit who use loops and can create real interesting and unique pieces of music out of them. I thought the track was as good as any other electronic or loop based songs here. I'm not well versed in dance music so I can't get all technical with you about that but I thought this was pretty good. Sounds like something I would hear in an 80's Eddie Murphy movie, it has a cinematic aspect to it, in my opinion.
Cheers!

on Rideout of the hells angels by Nodog
The song rocks, nice tone on the git, thick and meaty. I think this idea has a cinematic aspect to it, has a passage of time feeling to it to me. Mix sounds pretty darn good as well!

on I Still Believe ft ShAiDawn by JohnnyHunter
Well done man. The piano is killer, btw!

Thanks for listening,

on TranceFormers by Mosaic
To me this genre suites you and the loop misses your contributions in this style of music. Some very cool effect and vocoded vocals. With my early morning coffee kicking in and this music playing almost makes me want to pick up around here and do some cleaning. Almost! lol
Quality mix, upbeat and trancefastic!
Wayne
Very pleased you enjoyed this one, just uploaded my first trance piece since return, hope you get chance to have a listen, think you should enjoy, email you tomorrow when get chance through the day..mos
on Silence - Live from the rehearsal room by mrwolf14
I've been down my friends house recording his band live a few times. His room is an echo chamber so the drums are big and lost, they sound awful when we record them. We use a set of mics designed for the small kit using 3 mics, one at the kick, one under the ride/above floor tom, one near the snare/hihat/crash. How important to you is making the rehearsal space sound proofed and a bit dead sounding to get the drums better? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Wayne
I also believe that this song has a "90s commercial" taste but I cannot point a specific song.
Regarding how to record, I'll send you a PM with my contacts if you want to get more details.
I also recorded the drums with 3 mics only and in these cases the "room sound" makes a huge difference: you can get good results only if the drums have a good "live sound". This mic configuration captures what you are hearing and it's hard to improve this.
Ciao, Domenico

I'm glad you enjoyed the track and I hope that you have a chance to hear some of my other track.
Again Thank You for listening

on Jeden Tag - version 2017 by joecramer
I like it, cool idea, great atmosphere and instrumentation.
Wayne
I just listen to this PJ Harvey's song "Down By the Water". Cool song for sure but i never heard it before.
Good to know that you like what i had done.
stay tuned

on Bliss by neuromancer56
I like the idea and feel of the song. There is something to this idea. I often tend to do a lot of shorter compositions by taking an interesting idea and doing a 1-2 min musical treatment rather than a full length track. It keeps from repeating loops and musical phrases, I can add leads, pads, rhythm instruments just like any long song and the listener can get in and out quickly and hear interesting things all through the short but full production song. Plus you don't spend hours mixing many verses and chorus parts, bridges and all that and get all the benefits of learning production skills as you do it. I feel maybe if you took this approach here it might benefit the idea. Take the cool riffs and changes, sounds and any midi instruments and effects and rearrange it but shorten it up. Just my 2 cents. :)
Cheers!

on In the still of the night by andreve1
A breath of fresh air has entered the community. Thanks! (we need to clean the carpets around here, whew!)
Wayne
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.
on MAC-SAND by macmajd4
To me, to get in and out of a complete musical idea in under a minute or two is fun to do. A lot can be done in such a short time, you can tell a story even. Distinctive arrangement parts with different musical feels and textures in each part make it a neat track, even if it's 1:10 long. This would be cool for an animation short!

on Majestic Scenery by Devodale
Dreamy, ethereal and cinematic I suppose. This may sound weird but this almost sounds like a track, further back in the mix, within an ELO or Jeff Lynn song, ha!
Hope all is well!
Wayne
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.
on Woe To The Wicked by Billydragon1

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

Quality sounding loops by some quality loop makers! Sounds great, nice mix, upbeat, positive, great for an early Saturday morning to get me moving.

on Song To Xavier by BLEEP
The electronic synths and sounds were interesting, made me stop and listen as to how they worked with the more organic sax. No complaints, just smiles!
Wayne
Glad to read you enjoyed this track. The sax line has been composed by Eric Serra. I use it for this piece. i don't touch anything about the original sound. I just creat a jazzy universe around this sax.
Thanks a lot for your friendly words, very appreciate as alway :)

on Epic movie by mindhiest
Great build up at the beginning like something big and menacing was approaching. Then the big clash as the music gets more intense and builds. The ending seemed to resolve the crisis and some hopeful sounding piano sends the message of renewal and peace! The music tells a great story!
Well done!

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!
