Nice track Grigoriy. I like the driving beat and the little bits of synth added here and there and the fact that you used a lot of different synth sounds and mixed it up. Well done and welcome to the Loop!
Wow, you have such a professional sounding voice. I was really impressed with this song. I have never heard the original so it gave me a chance not to be biased in any way while I listened to it.
Great job with the vocals and the samples. This has a reggae feel to it a bit. Like your Dalai Lama avatar, big fan! Ever hear of Ajahn Braham from the Melbourne area? Wise and very funny monk!
Thanks Wayne. I tried to mix the feel between reggae and African, but nothing would gel, so I left it as is. I don't get to Melbourne, but I can tell by your music that you are pretty diverse in outlook, it will keep me listening for ideas !!!
Relaxed feeling to this song. Reminds me of the band "Live" especially when it goes to the change. Cool song, nice guitar playing and back up vox at the end!!
Thank you! I didn't think I'd ever heard the band 'Live' till I looked them up and the first result was 'Lightning Crashes.' I love a good "Sounds Like" review. I'm gonna have to check out more from Live now. I'm trying to build a collection of similar artists with stuff I like. Thank you again for the review. I'm gonna go check out your stuff now.
I like the way you put this one together, nice subtle changes here and there and some not so subtle changes, that's good. Good job with the vocals. Very cool song!
I thought I had already reviewed this one but I only listened to it. Another piece that shakes my mind!! The beats you produce sound so incredible. Nice flow with the different changes and instruments.
In Buddhism, the hungry ghost is iconigraphically depicted as a being with a hugh, fat body, always wanting more and more, but his problem is that he has a tiny, tiny throat and cannot quench his impossible hunger for any or all things.
Sometimes it's good just to listen. I'd rather have a thoughtful review than otherwise. I'm glad you've explained the icon of the Hungry Ghost, as it's something I've never done with a description on this one. This is really a first for me: creating an intentional conceptual piece of music - "a Halloween song." It's also the first time I've played "live" overdubs while importing into Ableton. Learned a lot about latency issues (all resolvable), too. It's "Importing Hungry Ghosts" as I wanted to keep it within the sonic realm I'm doing (lot's of non-western instruments) and simultaneously make a nod at the historical moment (is art political by nature?). The Hungry Ghost, as metaphor or analogy of collective impulses is an important one. A bit like the current economic situation, no? Thanks for the review!
Such a great song. I listened to this a few weeks ago and checked it out again. I just think the sounds are so earthy and real even when the beat gets going. How much of that is samples and how many instruments did you play in it?
Your music really strikes a chord in me. You seem to bring a sense of self awarenes through this very natural and even primitive almost trible feel to your music. I've been into meditation and Eastern thought, especially Buddhism, the past several years and your music has a grounding, familiar feeling to it, like Buddhist chanting. Very powerful stuff and real cool and fun as well!!
There are two geng-gongs (http://www.looperman.com/users/detail/247253&pid=3225 the 2 actually played here) played in this, and everything else is samples or loops. The geng gong track (3 tracks - ie 2 overdubs) was an experiment I did a few years ago while living in Bellingham. This was my first experiment with blending 'live' analog recordings with the Ableton Live 7 environment. The geng gong bit I called "Amphibian's Metamorphosis" as I'd tried to do a bamboo Jew Harp blues piece (not very successfully).
I really need to write the n0mad23 Musick Manifesto at some point - but you're right/rite about the grounding, though I'm drawing from a plethora of traditions. I lived in Cameroon and Indonesia in the late 60's, early 70's and sort of 'fell into' things as a kid - so much so in fact, that my mother insisted on getting her kids home before they went "totally native."
There are many traditions where music is used very deliberately to induce emotional and/or psychological states (religious and/or spiritual in context) in both the musician and the audience. I've consciously been fascinated by psycho-acoustic phenomena since my first Indonesian Gamelan orchestra performance. Not only were hidden melodies very obviously revealed, but the frequencies of some of the bronze instruments did physical things to my body.
No surprise really that it's struck this particular chord then. I am a product of the collected experiences and conclusions reached by one of the first Space Age children who grew up in much older forms of apprehension.
Your vocal approach and lyrics are too much. I really like your style. You have a great sense of humor in your songs. Really liked "Serial Mic Murder" you did with DJAirBreaker. Think I faved and downloaded that one.
noone has really nailed that serial mic murderer acapella, all the mixes have been a bit off. glad you like my style, and i appreciate the listen, and definately the review
I like the feel of this track, very relaxing but there is a sense of urgency at the same time. Great percussion throughout the whole song. Nice production as well.
