on Floydian Slip by LordDice

I can hear the Floyd influence in this one. I can hear why you think this encompasses a few gifferent genres, I think the same as well. Liked it, quite creative and a nice mix too!!

Thanks for the love. I heard that track you did with Vicen and I loved it. check out the review I left him if he hasn't showed you already. this means a lot coming from such a talented musician.

on Platinum goes to Critical State by n0mad23

Even with someone else supplying the loops you still seem to maintain your unique style and sound to this piece. It really does seem to be a crossover type song as far as genre goes, very creative in that regards.

You seem to be getting some great results with the APC40 controller. I still haven't got to that point of using my Axiom 25 as a controller but hearing your music really inspires me to experiment a little more so thanks for the inspiration Sean.

Good luck in the comp, this has to be in the running, great job!!

I think that like in collage art, with loops there are certain things you can do to "take possession" of them and make them yours, you know? Of the loops listed above, only 2 are vaguely recognizable now and like collage it's got a lot to do with finding inherent relationships and then teasing out those qualities in the individual components.

Live for me is doing it "DJ" style, so the controller approach is perfect for me. It allows me to play with the inherent swells in the music and dance with it in real time. Makes it all so much more organic - like playing the controller(s) as an ad-hoc electronic instrument. Very fun and challenging. You're going to love the Axiom 25 as a controller! The possible configurations change everything - imo. Thanks again, Wayne!

on Springirl by FrenchKid18

Hey Stephane, nice to see you back uploading tracks, been going through withdrawal symptoms with a lack of new Frenchkid tunes!!

Looking forward to hearing what you are going to add but honestly, I like this as is. Vocals sound cool doubled up. Good luck with the new project!

on trip hip hop by Dvibe

Another cool track to listen to and I suppose to dance to. I think this would get a crowd in any club moving their feet. Nicely mixed and a very cool blend of sounds!

on dramatic cinematic by Dvibe

Hey DVibe, nice to hear some new tracks. This one fits the title perfectly. Emotional, cinematic, even a bit like music in a horror or thriller type movie. Nice job with the loops. Very cool track!

Wayne

Dvibe replied Unknown

thanks for you nice comment...have a great day..Dvibe

on Meth-Fueled Nightmare by nosnhojnilremus

Those kicks were too cool! I liked the description, made me want to hear this one. This is thick and heavy and you did a great job on it, pretty intense! Good luck to your friend.

Wayne

on No need for suicide by Kikajon

Gibson Flying V and an Orange amp, a kick a$$ sound for sure! The track sounds great, evenly mixed. Not bad for just making up the lyrics! Cool track PMK!

Wayne

Kikajon replied Unknown

Thank you, Wayne! Long time no hear and your review makes me really happy, and the fav too! And yeah, that guitar has so much phat, chunky rock in it and that amp just blows me away.
Again, thanks.
Your friend

on but the track name is just 7 by smashtank

Pretty laid back chilled out beat. Liked the vocal samples at the beginning and how you brought things to slow down around the 2 min mark, cool stuff. Nice job on your first upload to the loop!

Wayne

on A song called W by Koukotsu

I agree with jfw in that you have matured a bit(musically speaking)since you were here last. I like the darker tone to this one and the pace of it, not rushed. That adds tension, I feel, and with the darker feel to it that adds up to a good listen, a bit cinematic too. Thanks for sharing!

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thanks for the review! I've always aimed for diversity, I like to surprise people every now and then, lol. But yeah, the underlying "Koukotsu-ness" will never go away!

This one should be getting updated soon, I'm far from done with it; Everything is a work in progress for me, lol.

theHumps 22nd Apr 2011 15:05 - 14 years ago

on Fluff by Koukotsu

Great chillout track, perfect for reading the Sunday paper or while painting a picture. Nothing to be critical of, just a nice, easy listening track!

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Thanks so much Wayne! I plan on making this one just a bit longer soon, but I am fairly happy with it already.

Glad you enjoyed it!

on Lizard Breath by Koukotsu

I remember this little gem!! Hey, great to see you back and posting again. I think this could be made a bit brighter on the eq side of things but it still holds it own as far as a track idea goes. Great to hear your music again!!

Wayne

Koukotsu replied Unknown

Hey why didn't I ever think of that?! Brighten it up a bit, lol. It is a bit "muddy" sounding I think!

Thanks for the review and the suggestion Wayne, I'll get to work on adding a bit more sparkle to it real soon!

I'll be sure to get around to listening to what you've been up to since I've been gone, I have quite a bit of catching up to do I believe, lol.

Thanks again Wayne, I really appreciate it!

on THESE WALLS UPLOAD by zappo

No shortage of beautiful sounds in this track, great as always!

Thank to you Wayne
IÃ‚Â´m happy

on Starter Easy by NeonStrawberry

This is really trippy, spaced out, relaxing type music here, haha. But dance as the genre? Might not have been my first choice but I don't put a lot of weight into genre lables in the first place. I liked the guitar playing and what you did to it. Nicely constructed track, interesting piece of mood music, great job!

Wayne

NeonStrawberry replied Unknown

hi thanks for the comment, I know its not exactly a dance track, maybe something futuristic of that sort, but i feel that it adds to the appeal of the track, Ill change it soon enough, take care,

on Rotten Salsa V2 by alividlife

That's some cool drumming and mixing, great job man!

on Ukulele Song by JuniorTheBeatMaker

Decent idea you have going, gonna lengthen it? I think you should!

JuniorTheBeatMaker replied Unknown

Thanks! I will try.

on Fountains by Phyruis

Working in genres outside what you are used to can only make you a better musician, mixer, arranger.... It causes you to think differently and try things that you normally wouldn't, like different vsti's and arrangements. That makes us better in general, imo.

Now the track is very cool and well constructed. Of course I liked the acoustic guitar bits the most, ha, but overall I think you have a really decent track here. Nice one PBJ!

on No better dream ft Mhyst (Caveman 4 track edit) by fixxxer

This is an interest approach with this pella. Like you used a cut time for the beat in respect to the pella bpm. There ya go, 4 tracks.

on Anak Pisang - Shadow Dancing by n0mad23

For a 4 track recording, this sounds pretty dang good! I've been wanting to head to Nepal, India and/or Tibet the past few years and listen to the wonderful music that is so trance inducing over there. Then I hear this and it makes me want to head to Washington State instead, haha! This is really something else Sean.

I've liked the older material you sent me a while back and I will be dl'ing this so thanks, it will be enjoyed, trust me. Thanks again for sharing!

Wayne

n0mad23 replied Unknown

Ha - I sent you the link to probably the ultimate Washington State trance inducting music, so yeah you'll probably want to plan a trip out here. I'll hook you up with some dungeness crab, too!

The Anak Pisang project was a true joy to have been a part of, and I actually just sent the boys a thank you note for what they taught me musically back then. Really glad you enjoyed this one, Wayne. Cheers - Sean

on Schizophrenia (caveman 4 track challenge) by StephenPotter

Interesting track and pretty decent for only 4 tracks. I wished it were longer as well but it sounds great what you got!

Wayne

StephenPotter replied Unknown

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it, especially considering the 4 tracks thing. I'm not used to limiting myself to that amount, but I geuss it is a useful practical skill to have.

Thanks for the review!

on Loose Ships Sinking Lips by alividlife

I remember those days back in the late 80's and 90's recording on 4 track cassette and 8 track reel to reel decks. Editing a track was nearly impossible but back then that's what we did to record. Emotional piece, especially after reading the description and knowing what the piece was written about. Nice one!

on Thai Girls fake it by Planetjazzbass

"I'm ignant", haha!!

Jason has been one entertaining, original talent on the loop, certainly has his own way of expressing life. The track is dark and deep, ya, Barry nailed it, big Floyd sound here, waiting for Gilmore's lead.ha

Very cool collab, yo, yo, you go boi! ;)

Wayne

Planetjazzbass replied Unknown

Hey Wayne..yeah mate! Dola has it,whether it's his laissez-faire style or stepping off the curb flow the guy is f--king entertaining,and in this business that's golden..cheers your homie buddy Dave ;)
