on Shelter from the Storm by Zootman
I liked the track but honestly I felt the guitars at 1:10(and later on) were a bit loud in the mix, they overpower the vocals. I think the idea is great. The dynamics are real good and when the guitars hit they are impactful. Reminds me of Get Down Moses by Strummer and the Mescaleros.

Hey Wayne, thanks man, have reduced those guitars a bit. Far out just listened to the Strummer track you reference, what a great song. Loved the lyrics especially. Cheers Chris

on The Bloodstained Guardian by TribeOfHofund
The drums are impactful, the instruments you used are right out of the history books. Very tribal sounding, preparing for conflict, maybe. Would be perfect for a movie soundtrack for the time period you mentioned in the description or even earlier, back to the Picts. Now write a song about their iconography, he!

“Preparing for conflict”. That was very close, sir. Actually, it is about Odin trying to reach the gates of Hel by running from the guardian Garmr, thus avoiding the cocflict, but you bet he was prepared. The ocarina is Odin’s theme, the hurdy gurdy is Garmr trying to catch up. Odin made it, his eight legged horse, Sleipner, who can run in air too, was too fast for even Garmr.

We are pleased that everything intended with the tune, from period to narrative went straigth in to your perceptive mind, sir.

Much appeciated
Thanks a lot

on Years go by by smallpaul
First thing I noticed was the low end, nicely mixed. Has a rnb feel, was expecting Barry White to start serenading his woman, he!

Good stuff, nice mix, smoooooth!

Plenty of ear candy, nice dynamics and a solid track overall. You guys are on the same astral plane. :)

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.

Cheers,

on Automaton by Killick
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.

Well done Cam, a dilly of a track!

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.

I remember how you used to mix your vocals, good to see you going back and getting it all straightened out. Nice job on the new mix, much better!

on closer to horses head by xstokes
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!

Take care!

xstokes replied 27th Aug 2022 - 3 years ago
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!

on Water Treatment by Zootman
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.

Well done again!

on The Robots Sing by Kirkoid
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!

on Dreams In The Hangar by StarTravels
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

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!!

I really like this kind of music, ambient, spacey, ethereal...

It's a nice piece, calming and peaceful, would be good for meditation. Well done!

Wayne
Zootman
Zootman replied 15th Jul 2022 - 3 years ago
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!

got here (LM) I never imagined such a thing. It
is incredibly encouraging.

Thank you for your listen , comments and Fave.

on MeMyself AndI ish by Jynxz
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!

This is cool. The music is wonderful, puts you in a trance then the whipping starts, yes!

Mix is great, nice lows, great mids and highs. Balanced mix, stereo field is full and the levels are spot on.

Creative, well done man!

on Mercy by Lonelyawxy
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. :)

Hey! This is great, the vibe is very cool. This should be in the movie Boogie Nights, lol!!

Great tempo to walk to with some decent headphones so you can hear the bass loud. Vox work perfectly. What can I say that hasn't already been said, sweet track man!

on I Dont Like Bananas When They Get Too Ripe by CitizenMofo2
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.

Nice, fun, different!

CitizenMofo2 replied 25th May 2022 - 3 years ago
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.

on Aint life grand by pseudoble
This is cool, different for you! Music reminds me a bit of Gary Numan. I like the approach of the vocals with the more electronically based music. There's a good dichotomy of sounds going on here.

Neat, liked it!

on halfpipe Burn by rockoff
Cool man, I love surf music and Dick Dale has his own folder in my favorites. I like the feel you got going on this one. Dick would have loved this one, right up his alley, lots of cool expressive sounds on the guitar. He played a strat, especially designed by Leo Fender himself. But those guitars are also perfect for surf music!

Well done!

DD did a Guitar Center stop, there's several vids showing his talents one day at a store visit, a few years before his death. You'll like this, 3 piece and he's playing loud!
