Im stoned...and this rocks. Description is accurate. lol.
I always enjoy the playfulness and freedom I feel wen i hear ur music. Here's some bonus Looperman Lore: The First song I ever listened to here was one of yours, bro. Who knows If I wouldve stuck around if it happened differently? And here u still are, having fun doing your thing. I think some forget to have fun sometimes, but ur work is here to do its part to remind us.
Oh, bro... that's very flattering... you know, I have a band there, which is not so much fun, but a second job... :-) so I have to have fun here... :-)
Thanx a lot,
Danke
I dont even kno how to describe what is happening to my brain atm. It aint the weed. Well, maybe partly. But the rest is this...idk....sound trip? Yea! Thats a good description. Sometimes I need the kind sonic journey that defies any attempt at a closer description than that, but its about as common as raining frogs is in the weather forecast. Thanks for the journey man. You have the right mind for someone who wants to create this kind of art - its about u first. Everyone else just has the privilege of joining u. - Aaron
Hi Aaron, thanks for listening and the nice words, I'm glad you liked it. I'm lucky enough to be able to create whatever I want without having to worry about the future, it's just a hobby :-)
Oh, make no mistake my friend, its 420 here 24 hours a day. Lol. Sadly, the word Dope has a stigma on it around my part of the world - its not a word for weed, but something far worse, and Im lucky that I escaped it and put it in my rearview some years ago. but Many I loved and respected did not make it. I know u meant no offense, man - i just had to get over my negative perception of the word to be able to enjoy ur work, know wat im sayin? But no worries. Sometimes theres a story in places u might not expect or even know about yet. Ive heard many of your songs by now, and Ive got some melodies Ive been working on to possibly use when i start putting togther songs for my brothers (Vizzio) album, but I wont be able to use them all, so i thought about sending a few to u to see if u might want to do something with one, or i could do stems if u prefer. Ive done quite a few collabs here, but I want to step that up even more this year - Collaborations only benefit us all, and I plan to try and showcase as many artists from the community here as i can. Ill shoot u an email from here with my contact info.
WHAT!? Where in the world did this come from? This is the kind of stuff u should be doing, for real guys. Im speechless, all i can say atm is that Im floored. And maybe a bit bummed u didnt let me come up with some guitar stuff for u :/ If u had let me hear 20 seconds of this when u were still working on it, id have gleefully tried to give ya something to fit with it, still working within the parameters u set of course. If u decide to do something similar, I really like to work with u on it in some capacity. This one is my favorite of all favorites from u , superbly done Oli/kay. hats off to u. -Aaron
So so kind of you, thank you. Glad u like it - we will definitely remember you for any more rock guitar stuff -Your encouraging words mean so much to us Kay
well, im not a huge fan of the title, but the song is good, im happy to report. Its good that ur diping ur toes into different genres, its that xperience that gives later work so much character. Btw Ive got something for u, ill send it asap
While i understand the title isnt savory for all,me being a cannabis user for 5 years,ive grown desensitized to words relating to dope or the word itself,but i am very happy you like the song! and if you have anything to send me ,send me a contact!!
Instant Favorite for me. In fact, this would be a perfect submission for a secret project Ill be working on soon. Id like to have all of my favorite artists involved to some degree. And u guys know that youre on that list for me :) Ill shoot ya a msg about it soon. Top Notch work, man. Theres not much like this being played in my area, thats for sure. And I know it would do well in some places. Hopefully I can help u guys extend your reach a little bit, I just gotta get the right ears on it. - Aaron
Aaron Thank you for your kind comment and listening to a track that is quirky but means alot to us. We appreciate your support so much and your project sounds intriguing. We look forward to hearing more when you are ready. Meanwhile, Happy New Year Kay and Oli
Funk in my lungs and in my ears, too. What a good start to the new year lol. This one reminds me of some stuff I heard live a few years ago, the group was an ensemble and they had someone playing a mandolin. Honestly, where I live, youd be highly successful on the Fri-Sat night venue scene (Ive thought about that before, too) Alot of your work just makes me wanna grab a beer and smile, and take it all in. And I dont even drink lol. Its just very endearing. U have what my football coach called "intangibles" - hopefully u understand wat i mean. Good work man.
Hahaha thanks buddy! I've always struggled to find other musicians to play live with - I did some gigs with a sax player, many gigs on my own... Most people want only to play covers, or else their own tracks. Playing in/writing for a funk band... that's the dream and it's the thing I try to evoke with these tracks. Glad you had fun and you and lil bro an awesome 2025!
Well, Idk how well known it is, But Im 50% pure US Southerner, so certain things appeal to me and I have no choice in the matter lol. This type of thing is one of them. I was reminded of some shows I went to as a teenager, where i made some of my favorite memories. I was grinning like a fool, and since i had headphones on, there wasnt much context so everyone around me was laughing at me lol. Well done on capturing that spirit man.
I can hear some of the first stuff i ever heard from u here, but theres some other elements here, too - youve grown as an artist, and so ur like a painter or craftsman who begins to add flourishes that are recognizable as their work. It might be a work in progress, but its further along than some would think. I always enjoy hearing wat youve been up to.
Music is meant to entertain just as much as anything else, though Im most definitely not always entertained. lol. U guys have the gift to be able to entertain, and also reach the listener because your songs have heart as well as soul. Sometimes there are hidden truths to the lyrics, other times the meaning is plain to hear. And you take risks, more so because u follow ur heart, and so it pays off. I was entertained to say the least, But the point of the song was not lost on me. Im a broken record by now lol, but ill say it anyway - well done. - Aaron
I understand the guitarist's journey well, brother. I recieved my first REALLY NICE guitar at a time when i felt like noone could possibly understand or reach me, and I was just so burdened with the entire world's problems - Yes, i speak of the terrible teens lol. But many a night (and many a beer, many a joint and/or the occasional LSD hit also lol) i spent in a chair next to the firepit, with that guitar glued to my hands, going off on deeply personal journeys that led me to better understanding of myself - sometimes for 12, 15 even 24 hours straight, playing until i had to tape my fingers back together. I feel lucky to know a musician who can recreate that feeling for me, even luckier to know that this community has TWO artists who can do that for me, and yes you are 50% of them. I wish I could bring my trusty yamaha acoustic and come sit with u and join u on a few of these sojourns, i truly do man.
Hello my brother, let me say for now you never know what the future holds....but for folk like ourselves we have an instrument that in its weird way it can entertain us or help us through some awful crazy stuff. And then you can have nice moments when you can actually record some beautiful phrases that resonate with a lot of people.....it's a great thing since music is so universal. It's good to know there are other members of this forum who easily understood and feel the music.....no matter the genre....let's keep producing what we do for everyone and especially ourselves.....stay tuned my friend.
Im always there for one of your songs, dude, no debate there. This one has healing properties man, id swear it does. ive been dragging the last few hours, im exhausted from getting over the flu. but i feel like Ive gotten a second wind, maybe even inspired a bit. its been awhile since ive used elements similar to what tends to come from your work... i use the word work losely, I imagine its more like a short journey for u when u sit down with a guitar, and so a journey for the listener as well. as always, well done. - Aaron
Hello Pnnywze.....I can only tell you how much the comments are appreciated.....the playing part for me when improvising seems easier for reasons I can't explain except to say it's the only way I've played, and of course it's not without it's hits and misses.....but for the most part I manage to express on the guitar what I'm thinking and feeling. Im glad when others like yourself can understand that the thinking and playing are so connected at those moments. Again very appreciative of your words.
I can certainly understand the thought and intention of a song like this, Ive
done my fair share of them. My old lady cant handle it if i go too long without composing something for here these days, and this has given me an idea for that. Thank u for that, and well done, as well.

Man so cool of you to check it out! Stoked you dig it, cant wait to hear what you come up with!
When someone with alot of raw talent eventually finds their groove, the sweet spot, so to speak, of their musical ability, and then branches out in all directions from there, their versatility becomes hard to match. Its easy to forget that Any dude could bang on a guitar all day long and not make a single note that commands any attention. That is why, for me, listening to the music you are making now leaves me in a bit of awe sometimes. One couldnt buy experience or musical personality even if one wanted to, congratulations on putting in the work and achieving results man. Lovely.
Sheeit, it's been a while. Sorry for the very late response. Yeah, I liked this track, and I'll associate it with that night and the aurora that inspired it. Happy xmas and new year Aaron. Cheers Chris
This one took me surprise. The lyrics have a desperate humanity to them, and a strong sense of dignity. Thats honestly a trademark of many of your songs, not just this one. And having a real message at all is something that alot of today's music lacks, and I commend u for holding onto values and beliefs in the face of an increasingly distant and cold world. Im not a stranger to those feelings myself. But Ive been terrified of the metal skeletons from the Terminator movies since I was a kid, so technology such as A.I. disturbs me in a very Need-a-therpist kinda way lol. Im really glad that Ive had the unique journey through music that I have - Ive had my time with performing live, being in a band and havingsome of our songs professionally recorded, My time as a performing DJ, Time as a stage Tech, even played some acoustic sets covering Alice In Chains & STP songs with an incredible singer. Ive had a taste of music life before technology really took over the industry, and I appreciate that more and more everyday. Your song gave me these thoughts, so I thought Id share them with u. Thank u for sharing your Brilliance with us, guys. (and gals, my bad Kay lol)
Wow bless you for your kind feedback - one always takes a risk with opening up the heart to share a piece of themselves in terms of creativity and deep personal thoughts. So glad this resonates with you. I really appreciate your music and feedback Kay ;)
I love u guys, man. Not only are u both talented and your take on music unique, but u both also know to work with others. And youre exceptionally god friends of mine, and Im proud of watching and being a part of your journeys thus far. I hope u guys know by now that u can count on me to have ur back, and u have each others'. These bonds are important to me, and I couldnt be happier with your efforts here. I think youre rhymes are getting even better, Paul. I told Robin the day that when people are having fun in their music, it truly shows. Bravo, my guys.
thanks man we both know you got our backs, we have all grown closer and our friendships are growing stronger, discord has brought us some good success the tracks we are all bringing. we all understand that collabing can be great with some amazing results, we take it seriously but always try bring the fun too, Robin is an extremely talented musician, i think we should do a big track in the New Year, your squad me Robin and we could get Darren involved too, tbf anyone on our discord, i think we could bring something great as the talent is all there, i think we are all on the same page, thanks for all the positives bro
Well, This is gonna be the last one of the night for me, Im fighting to hold my eyes open and this is all the lullaby I needed. Its well done, bro. I also have good news - I got an email From Brad (Infms Rad, the one who doing the verse for u) and he told to be expecting that from him today. Ill be in touch soon.
Well, I somehow messed up my reply to your comment on my track, I was meaning to ask u to check out my work with my group, The Monzder Squadd, if u get a chance, I think theres a few surprises there if u find the time. Ill leave that kryptic lol.
Dude! where ya been man? i was just wondering about u the other day. And i def wasnt ready for that level of funk this early in the morning, Made me spill my coffee man lol. U labeled the genre 100% correctly, man. I havent heard anything i didnt like of yours, and this one is standard for u - great.
Well, Jared called that one - The piano called my attention immediately. Its a nice comp. And the acapella almost sounds like it was written specifically for this, and thats hard to find. Well done.
Thank you, much appreciated. I wish I could say that it all worked out by chance, but I played the piano all specifically to her amazing acapella. Not sure what the chords were supposed to be, just played what sounded right to me.
