SYLPHEERA

Definitely Bond inspired. Great guitar tone. The only criticism I would make is that the horns (first coming in at 1:10) need some reverb to make them sound more realistic. The horns were noticeably too dry to sound like real musicians. Great job!

I haven't heard a lot of hip hop on this site yet, but this track seems unusual in style. That's why I like it. Very nice percussion loops. Nice job!

For me, this is an unusual hip hop groove, but I love it.
It sounds like some house music influences are used. The only critisism I could make is about the guitar part that comes in at 0:43. It needs to be tight with the rhythm, otherwise great work!

This has some very tasteful use of juxtaposing different genres. The ethnic, orchestral, electronic and metal. I think many people find this difficult, and tend to use loops that don't mix well together. Do you use pre-existing loops, or sequence yourself?

Keep on making such great music!!! I'm adding it to faves. It sounds like you did the piano parts yourself, so fantastic playing.

I don't know the technical differences between many of these sub-genres, but since I've joined looperman, I've become a fan of 'deep house'. This is a great track. Faved it. I don't suppose you could enlighten me as to the difference between house and deep house? I agree with edge7 about the bass. If you brought in some kind of low bassline at about 3min, it would bring more depth. Is most of this made from pre-existing loops, or did you sequence it yourself?

Finally some REAL jungle music. So far all the stuff I've heard on this site that claims to be 'jungle' is electronic/drum & bass. This is authentic. How much of this track did you record/sequence yourself? Did the flutes and percusion come from pre-existing loops? Anyways, great work. By the way, I believe the correct spelling is 'Berimbau' in Brazil.

Very impressive. I would have put it in the 'cinematic' genre though. It seems like it would be at home in a movie. Did you sequence the ethnic flute parts yourself, or use pre-existing loops?

Very impressive. especially since you did all of this from scratch! Probably the best hip-hop I've heard on this site so far. There is a lot of substance in this track that doesn't reveal itself straight away. I listened to some parts 3 or 4 times over. Love the 'chipmunk' vocal.

I'm a big fan of this kind of stuff. You've inspired me to write a sitar based track. I agree with oasisduke on this. There nothing negative that one can say. Did you sequence all the sitar parts, or are they pre-existing loops?

Hey Aberon, I'm adding this to my favourites. A fantastic groove.
You might be right about the bass though, it is a little strong. I also listened to 'swinging day' and 'la bossa'. The piano parts you use are really great. Do you do them yourself?

One of the best tracks I've heard on the site so far. I downloaded the acapella to use it for something similar, then I found this. (I still might try using it). Great effort!

This is really some great piano material (and strings too). The only critisism I could make is that there are places where the strings should 'back down' in volume so the piano can shine more.
The strings always have harmonic stuff. If a real classical ensemble were to play this, the string players would control the dynamics in a softer way, since the piano (usually) has the more important material. Fantastic work though!

This really conjures up the Sth American vibe. I don't know where you got the loops of strings/bandoneon from, but it sounds exactly like the stuff Astor Piazolla used to play. He was the undisputed maestro of argentine tango.

You're right, this is a very nice flute sample. I want to try to get a hold of it, (or sequence it myself). This is the starting of a great track! I think you have a little problem with harmonising the melody though. The flute note that comes at 15 secs (and again at 0:35) is a C#. Try playing the note 'A' in the bass beneath it during these parts, then see how it sounds.
