on Blue Lagoon by jfw
ya know, Jamie, your music is a place where i can discard a lot of the baggage i carry around with me and that = treasure. a really great collab, your setting for the vox is better than a cool drink served in a coconut.

on The World Goes Round Regardless Of Our Actions by flyindevil
really digging the 09Aug2010 set of dark anbience/drone metals - the tracks really work well together, but here i've landed in the middle track as a fav - dunno if there was intention behind it but this one works like a pivot for me - great sounds + sensibilities

flyindevil replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
There is usually very little intention in any of my music making, I mostly just experiment and put samples through various VST plugins, trying to find something I like or find interesting.

on I Understand collab with ChrisCharles2910 by Gordw
hello Gord, man the instrumentation + arrangement on this is out of park. which wouldn't be saying much if not for the heart behind the sounds - makes me reflect on the price of understanding

on Mitochondrian by danbo
this is really lovely and the the sax/flute thru-line is amazing sympathetic synthetic playing - only the choir sound is overbearing and fills up all the space where we might hear the guitar to better advantage as rythm comp to the drums
danbo
danbo replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for replying
That was a special work to produce. All the instruments were palid separtively. I mixed the mafter. I wanted to mix intruments we don't use to listen playing together.
It's a try, but I enjoy finding a balanced way to associate all thes instruments.
I wanted the guitar very low. Maybe I 'll see if I change that in a moment.
In the future, some works will be made.

StÃÂphane - remains a devastating track, the enhancements on the vox really serve the lyrics as well as the understated but smoldering music - here's to better roles, better souls, my friend

on Bayou by CmsProductions
really digging yr gtr parts and sounds from them here - i guess the rythm section is intentionally droning mecha but it drags a great guitar song down - truly hope you keep playing with this track.

on Cairo by jfw
this track has some very interesting mirage-like qualities - it has an arid, desert feel even tho every second is full of events - it seems like the gtr parts are 10 feet tall when they really only last under 30 seconds - and i must add the belew 'references' are right on - the riddle of the sands?
Safe journeys, Jamie

jfw replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the listen Michael - I'm glad you liked it! It's no secret that I like the work of guys like Belew/Fripp etc (just look at my avatar) and over the years I have made a study of the way they play. I just couldn't resist playing a little "Elephantosity" on this track - it just seemed to fit!

Cheers, Jamie.

on SongOfDepths by danbo
very pastoral and intriguing - voices and basses work really well with a nice melting quality - only the harmonica is jarring - i think the juxtaposition is right on but could use some cutting or other technique/z to enhance the flow
a comment from the peanut gallery - i always respect your musicality
danbo
danbo replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the review. I love the voices. I'm working on a subject today.
Yes, I've to look at the harmonica, but at it's level. I'll look and listen many times to adjust the tempo. Concerning the jarring sound, I think it's right, but if I substract the bass, it's correct. In fact, it's rather the bass level I have to modify, certainly 1/4 tone up or down.
Hey, you've a good listening !
Thanks for this !

on Always Wondered by Gordw
Hello Gord - it is always so good to see you, man. I always find some thing strong and centered in your music even when feeling the most forlorn. And i'm always subliminally singing along with the lyrics - you got strange zen kareoke powers, i feel lucky to sing along - thanks, friend
Gordw
Gordw replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks Michael, I appreciate your kind review. I am glad you take the time to read/sing my lyrics with the music. I hope to have the vocals done on all my tracks in time. Take Care my friend.

on LookingAtYou by danbo
can't help it - another fav! don't know how intentional it is but some of these transitions just trigger the happy part of my very nervous system.
for this listener a very engaging dialectic between the selector and the selected.
danbo
danbo replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I agree with you. What is important for me in music holds in 2 points:
1) Pacling the pauses or silences at the right moment
2) To be able to break the music and to drive an other piece with a minimum of bad effects.
Thank you for replying and listening.

on Unfinished business by jjy
it's so strange that when you feel about as beat as a person can possibly be you find a groove that matches that sadness but lifts you up and makes you keep going at the same time - this is a much appreciated track
