dimestop

dimestop, thank you for your eloquent comments. I didn't realize all these elements are going on. That's interesting. A track like this takes me about 3 days. I did get a university degree in music and was professionally trained in studio production by David Rubinson of Columbia Records both many, many years ago. Today, I put my brain on autopilot and keep working on it until it sounds good to me. Best of life to you my friend, Cosmo

Hi dimestop, thanks, we should do a collab. soon! Just let me know when etc..

Thanks for giving it a listen!

Haha, fam, your comment had me cracking up! Im truly grateful for the love on the music... knowing its got you strutting around your living room is the best kind of feedback. But listen, I dont want to be responsible for you explaining to your doctor that funk-induced damage is a real medical condition.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, bruv. May your back bounce back quicker than the bassline. In the meantime, maybe keep the dance moves to the upper body only shoulder shimmies are safer than full-on living room breakdance battles!

Big respect and big likes right back at you.

Hello Dimestop, I thank you my friend for the listen and thoughts on this track.... means a lot.....sorry about that sciatica, its not a pleasant thing....I know from experience as well. We do what we have to do to deal with it and go on.....hope its better soon....the music we make helps somewhat and thats a good medicine in itself.....so I look forward to more of your work very soon....again thank you my brother.

Thank you Paul - we like to sow positivity, it is just what we do ;)

Hey paul, yeah its all me bare boned and naked lol i have a secret love of classical music shhhh dont tell anyone lol
cheers for your listen and comment glad you liked it while having a J and drink you have a gd weekend too man :)

Hi Paul, i hope the medication will reduce the pain and allow you to move somewhat normally again. I know it is a hell!!
With me its going slow but i will come there where i must be.Im not ready to live like a old woman.Even though my age says I am old, my brain doesn't think so lol. Thanks for your compliment and get well soon
o yeah...ofcourse your home with me, we know eachother from the beginning. How many years now?? I think we need to celebrate.

Thank you Paul for listening :) I'm still exploring plugins, but for now i would say they are really good. If you have extra money buy without thinking twice.
Cheers!

Thank you for listening and for the comment, Paul! Lately Ive been going through alot of my old stuff for a side project involving Remasters, and in the process Ive found some beats that are pretty good candidates for a huge collab Im going to try and do - for the "finale" of our current project, i really want a song featuring as many of our friends from LM as possible, and for that i need a beat that appeals to nearly everyone. Yeah, its a pretty tall order, but im really thinking ill find it in my archive somewhere. Anyway, i bring this up bcuz we of course want u to be on it, even if its a small parr

Thanks man, appreciate you as always! Chris

Hello Paul !! I am glad you like it !! Thank you very much for your so kind and encouraging comment. (Sometimes I am just lucky with the sound...) Cheersssssssssssssssssss !!!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate this more than you know. Its always good to see how were all contributing and adding impact to the Looperman community in our own ways, and Im grateful to be part of that shared space.

Im glad the message and vibe came through clearly to you. The childrens vocals were very intentional; the idea was to bring in a sense of innocence and hope. And yes, I share your concern about the state of the world. Theres a lot of pain and tension everywhere, and sometimes music feels like one of the few ways I can respond to it meaningfully. Truly grateful for your support, bruv.

I also sometimes wonder if things would really be any different if we were the ones in charge. Every leader seems to come in with positive promises during campaigns, and then things shift once theyre in power and comfortable in the seat. It makes me think about whether artists in general, musicians, painters, sculptors, would do any better if given that kind of responsibility, or if were just better at pointing out whats wrong than actually fixing it when its our turn. Maybe Im just thinking out loud here

I appreciate it dimestop. He does have a full-time band, but will be on my future tracks when possible.

Hello Paul,
so nice of you to take the time and listen to the entire album. Thank you as well for the likes and the repost, that really means a lot.
I also think that the full year of work that went into this production has paid off beautifully. And of course youre right: the previously released single Echo of My Time is the absolute hit. You can clearly see that in the numbers, the clicks and the almost 40,000 views on YouTube speak for themselves.
Thank you for your time,
warm greetings,
Manuela

P.S. Im keeping my fingers crossed for you tomorrow!

Thank you very much for your kind words :).

Thank you dimestop. A great dance routine would be great for a video to this, something with a bit of slight vhs static.

Yeah man, I noticed youd been off the radar for a while. Its good to have you back, and coming in strong with that signature flow.

Looks like the break did you good. Even the great bear has to hibernate now and then. The jungles yours again...just remember to leave a little honey for the rest of us, even if we cant climb that high to get it.

I really appreciate your constant encouragement. I honestly cant thank you enough. Welcome back, boss.

I guess I like my tracks like I like my dinners, with plenty of sweet and sour sauce. Thanks for the listen and the words. It really encourages me. I'm a lazy bum who finds it hard to peel himself off the couch for much but what I make means something enough for you and others to share on them. Truth bruv and peace

Thank you, Paul.
It always means a lot to me to read such kind words from a good friend Ive known for so many years.
Ill gladly pass your wonderful praise on to everyone involved.
I hope youre feeling well again.
Warm regards,
Manuela

Thank you so much for your advice.
The vocals on the first two songs are by Odarka, whose voice I found spectacular. I created this vocal using AI because I wanted to express in the lyrics what I had in mind and adapt it to the chords I had already partially created. I find each process very complicated. Too many parameters and adjustments in the plugins. Many times I can't tell if it sounds better or worse when I change something; perhaps at my age my ear is no longer able to distinguish certain things. I started watching tutorials after Christmas, and in March I finished my first song, which I published here. In the next few days, I'll upload a new, very simple one, which I'm using to put into practice the advice you give me in the community about effects, panning, and things like that. And above all, to see what mastering is like, since I've never done it before. I'll wait for the community's advice on what I'm doing wrong.

I'm glad you liked it, and thank you for your comments.

All the best.

Thanks Paul, I love that you love it :) and thanks to you for sharing your gems and giving us the chance to fiddle with it. Creating this was so much fun, it really started while I was working on a half baked psytrance drop ;) took a break, listened to your track and got mesmerised, is it possible to incorporate that rap into my track? After playing around, a start was made and the journey started. The female vox is GT, the male is me, and for my rap I had to slowdown the DAW speed considerably ;) to record my lyrics "ripping and clipping the words from your verse, chopping and dropping at the place they deserve"

And for the boxes, this is the advantage of a newcomer, I still have little idea of genre boundaries or musical rules and I don't care that much, an age thing I guess; for me, it's still all about feeling. If I like it, it's good. On a regular basis I lie on a sunbed in my garden, wearing noise cancelling earplugs and listen my own tracks for hours on end.

Again thanks to you for your gem, this track wouldnt exist without you.

PS. Still want to create a psytrance piece ;)

Hello Dimestop my friend, I appreciate you listening to this of course and thank you for your kind words.....im just a lover of music like you guys first of all and in my own ways I try to lay that down through my guitars....being a little different in my approach serves my purposes I guess.....I think we all have a lot to say music wise and I like you and the guys will do our best to give the community something to listen to and comment on.....I look forward my friend

Thank you so much for the listen and the feedback.

Hey there paul thanks mate i appreciate your time and comment they are always welcome cheers man :)
