Ear candy ... Wayne, you're just too kind! Our hearts soar into heights like hawks. I initially thought the idea of starting a project that was all about space funk would get on everyone's nerves after a while, but it seems to be going quite well. So: as long as the universe is black, the shooting stars are flying and the stars are twinkling ... we're in!
Thank you so much for listening again...always appreciated.
This has a native american feel to me but updated with more modern sounds. The keys are fantastic. There's a certain amount of tension in the song that gives the song energy thru the whole track. Punchy and impactful.
Oh hey Wayne! Haven't seen you around for a while, hope everything is going well down your way. Thanks as always for the comment. I didn't consciously think of native american music at any point but I can see why you did. I thought about chickening out and switching the taiko drums for a drum kit actually but I'm glad I didn't.
Have you ever seen the Mickey Rourke movie Barfly? What a trip. Your use of that word instantly reminded me of a few classic lines in that flick that made me laugh.
Interesting as usual. Dark, sets a mood of despair, deep despair. Well done! Hope you are doing well after listening....he!
Hiya Wayne! I knew using the term barfly would be loaded for certain listeners, haha! I identify, thats for sure — fav scene was stumbling into the wrong apt and raiding the fridge. The real genesis of the song was a matt johnson/the the short film that robin had me watch a year or so ago that opened with a long long take of a damaged individual before launching into this is the day. Can’t find a link to that for some reason.
Anyway, you got every wavelength i aimed for. Thanks from the heart for listening, man!
Ahh, very meditative approach to the track, peaceful, tranquil. The drips are nice. You have a good grasp on making an audible place to go and visit in my mind.
I like these kind of tracks, water ones are nice. I have an hour long cd of ocean waves on a beach that would put me to sleep in no time.
This is interesting, glad I gave this one a try. Some good dynamics to the track. Lyrics in morse code, now that's a new take on things! You should try Braille next, ha, just kidding.
Would sound good in a hi-tech thriller movie. Mix sounds good too!
Intro was cool and when it kicked it I was totally impressed! I liked the description, as others have mentioned, it's quite spacey sounding which I like. Nice mix, great collab...again!
This would be a hit on Alderaan at some far out cantina, lol! Thanks for entertaining me!
Hi there Wayne,
I (Micky) personally am very happy that the description could contribute something to the imagination, because at first I was unsure whether it made any sense at all. But it sure is a good substitute if you don't have a video to convey what you had in mind while composing. Oh god I can't even think about how much a video for our tracks would cost... the spacey stuff.
Nice that you checked in
Cheers from Micky & Robbie
The music is fantastic, atmospheric and creative. Nice use of the space as far as panning and effects. The vocals were different, the poem was interesting. Liked how you ended it!
Hey Wayne - thanks mate - always value your feedback and appreciate your support - I see you have a new one which I will shortly enjoy treating myself too - always love a humps track : )
You guys come up with some unique sounding material, I must say. It's different, has some catchy pop stuff, a bit of funk and soul in there too. The intro was very cool and the song has a full sounding mix. Well done fellas!!
Hi Wayne, wow man, that's exactly the checklist you want to see the green tick behind every line ... very very flattering and encouraging!
Thank you for listening and commenting,
thanks Wayne, yes i find it quite meditative myself. i wonder if somehow our minds realise that the sound source is comes from something physical rather than electronic like from a synth, and that helps with the vibe?
Another very creative and well mixed track. Valve Driver mentioned Art of Noise, once I read that I absolutely agree with him. I like how the vocals sit in the mix too, it's not easy to get them to sit right, great job!
Hey Wayne, It's a great day (for me) when
I get not only a listen ,comment but a Fave
from a LM legend like yourself. When I first
got here (LM) I never imagined such a thing. It
is incredibly encouraging.
First off, this place is awful for the genre listings available if you make real music, rock, pop, latin jazz and folk. Ok, weird works too but to me this is fusion, oh yeah fusion is available. ha!
It's good, upbeat, fun, lighthearted and interesting to listen to. The guitars are fitting, the synths are outstanding, drums are well put together too.
I have a Johnson mandolin so literally I play with my Johnson from time to time. I do have to use both hands tho so I'm sorta proud of that. But I get where you're coming from, he!
There is some great dynamics in the track. The song is solid, would love to hear some proper vocals on it.
I think it would benefit the song to maybe cut some of the limiting or compression on the master track. I think it would help separate the instruments a bit more and help cut some of the overdrive. It's just a bit hot to my ears and looking at the waveform it suggests that. But I also know some people want that sound and it may be done intentionally so take that all with what my old ears tell me. :)
Thank you for your comment, bro. Yeah, that's really distorted and very compressed, thanks for noticing that, will take this into account in the future!
Nice build up to the chorus and a great transition into it. Sounds great, the vocals are fantastic and the music suits them very well. Solid track. Well done Michael and to Lauren as well!!
The vocals are very cool, right from the start. Great intro, solid rock/pop ballad! There are nice dynamics in the track, the build ups are nice in the verse leading to the "power" chorus. Well done folks!
I put my bananas in the refrigerator, they last longer. When my bananas get old, I peel them and put them in a plastic bag in the freezer for a frosty banana treat, yummy!
I like the heartfelt vocals, they're touching, ha! Humor should be in music, twisted, sarcastic, satirically laden...whatever.
Thank you, Wayne. Refrigerated bananas are tricky, as I'm sure you know, because if you don't eat them right away when you take them out of the cold, they turn black rather quickly, and squishy. I can eat a somewhat squishy banana but only with a crunchy accompaniment like peanuts or pepitas. I also have a TinySong about peanuts and several about trailmix where I've worked out the finer details of these foods. I'll be reporting back shortly, tune-wise, with some of those important learnings.
Don't talk about germs and microbes, on my way to the doctors for strept throat, swolen glands and ear infection. Oh those tiny creatures, they rule the world, don't they.
This is different, short but gets to the point. Good lyrics!
Thank you, Wayne, and good luck with the doctors! I have had many ear infections and many poor ear doctors, so be careful! If your hearing is diminished, it may be because you have fluid in your eustachian tube, something a competent doctor can deal with easily but an incompetent doctor will misdiagnose as permanent hearing loss. So be careful and good luck!
Hey Wayne - thanks mate - I didnt like the first one I made with the new drum machine much so went straight onto making this track - If I'd had a drink or smoke I'd never have got it done though it might have been more fun hey : )
I love surf music and you made me happy with this one. I live in a big surfing area so this vibe and with the weather starting to get hot, this track puts me in the proper beach attitude!
jaguar i do have a jazz master but this is a jaguar it screams surf or grunge tones hass 2 single semour duncans stock all the switches and floating tremlo thanks for the comment
I saw that climate change and the deforesting of Africa forced the apes to walk upright to see predators in the tall grasses that flourished in their new habitat. Oh my aching back! Drought caused issues with the Sumerian civilizations. How bad are the droughts out in the western US now? Dang!
Interesting piece, stark, menacing, robotic, futuristic, barren at times. The vocals go well with the music, they compliment each other.
Thank you!
I have a monkey hat that I sometimes wear to remind me of where we came from. Just kidding. I wear it to amuse my grandkids.
The past is interesting to learn about because it's always changing. Or, that is, our understanding of it is.
I'm interested in the sunken continents like Beringia and Doggerland. I believe they're rich with ancient settlements, artifacts and bones that would completely change our human storyr, but we can't get to them as they're underwater. It always amazes me that, the more we know, the less we know. Everything I learned in school is now wrong. But, I guess, that just keeps it interesting.
Dang, this is gooood Micky! Vocals and the backups are great, the music, in general just lifts you up and the rhythm, the beat keeps the song driving forward. The mix is solid, the effects are panned well and everything has it's place. Well done man!
Hi Wayne, I really appreciate the kind words from a musician as talented as you are. I'm always happy when you like a song of mine and that my disco-heavyness doesn't get on your nerves ;)
Cheers,
Micky
Spacey, a bit experimental, psychedelic, and a little weird, lol. But that's good because it challenges my ears to understand what you guys are doing here. Cool, trippy listen, almost a 70's soul/rnb feel to it.
Very cool! The first part, for some reason, reminded me of Wilco. When it picked up Bowie came to mind. Sets a cool stage, I feel resurrected suddenly.
