Hey mate. So I have Covid right now. Sometimes when I write a song I want the music to tell a story. This story is about the brain fog that accompanies Omnicron. The first part of the piece is lush with sound, bass reverb, and syncopated percussion, then the Rhodes are atonal musically. It is meant to be annoying and off-putting just like I felt at the beginning of this virus. The middle is sort of the moment where you start to feel a bit better and the focus comes back, albeit very simply. hence the minimal funky feel of the base and the building guitar. Sort of a one-step at a time process. As we build to the end of the work, the guitars become more intricate and the synth pads bring some overall balance which is meant to represent getting back to normal. My goal with this piece was not to make a cool funk-dance piece that is easy enough to do (sic the second half). My goal was to tell a musical story. But you did pick out what you did not like and what you liked, so what I was going for fits your response. The double-time hat is a good idea and you are right it can break up the monotony of a long stretch. keep on sharing your thoughts mate!

Appreciate that man! Got a few more story songs that are fun you might like I'm currently working on.

Take care, be safe!

Thank you dimestop!

Hey Paul, yeah I really liked those two bongo loops. One kind of sounds like rain pitter pattering, at least to me.

What's up Paul,

Thank you stopping by and giving my track a listen.
Your encouraging comments are greatly appreciated.
You make me want to "Poplock" lol. I'd probably break
something:-)

PEACE from across the "Big pond"...

Crowd up the comments all you want. I live for this stuff. The intro on the beat is fire, I wish I could get my hands on a .wav, the vocals would sit much nicer. Sometimes doing the instrumental justice is tough. I have the raw instrumental reposted on my Soundcloud by Kozy.

Thanks for the listen and the love! And you're not wrong I let my feminine side show in some of my songs. Most of my stuff debuts on Soundcloud.

Paul, first of all thanks for the love! This producer allows downloads for free with a tag as you've probably noticed. Blacklionzbeats on beatstars.com you can find it there... This was a beat in his guitar style beats its the sole RnB one. You can certainly give my vocals a try from any of my tracks. Much love. If you write some music for me I'll give it a go. it takes me sometime to write the lyrics.

Just saw your soundcloud gave you a follow on there. Most of my music is on my soundcloud profile. If it would make your life easier I could send you the instrumental to this. I'll be on the lookout for Reflection.

Thanks so much bro. I've got a scotch collection of my own, so I appreciate what a compliment that is. Glad you enjoyed it that much!

Right on, dimestop. We play, we have fun, we try weird things, and sometimes cool things happen. It's very helpful to get feedback to see if the weirdness sounds the same to others as it does to oneself. I never, ever know until I share. So thank you!

It did take 2 goes at it mate. the first was a new setup on my Linux system trying to test what I could do. then I went back and revisited it and made it what you hear now. The Outro is designed for a DJ to mix into something else. There is a small Afro-Caribbean influence in this one as well.

Thanks man. Stay tuned got some crazy new ish coming.

Cheers Paul, thanks for visiting again man. By the way, I meant to say good on you for your last track doing all the beats and instrumentation yourself.

Hey Granddad.
Nice to see you back mate.
Many thanks for your kind feedback.
I am glad you liked it.
I really appreciated it.

Dimestop,

Thanks for the listen man. Glad you enjoyed it. This style of music has always been my go to.

Mark.

Thanks for listening and commenting bro.

Hello Paul,

I'm glad you stopped by to listen to my track.

Thank you for your compliments, I really appreciate them.

PEACE...

Thanks! I think all recipes should have a good beat!

Thanks for the kind words Robbie, very much appreciated!

Hi Paul, it's always nice to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words. The fact that there are always far too few genres and sub genres in the selection is really annoying, isn't it? Maybe we should petition...

Peace,

Micky/Jynxz

Thanks for your feedback :) It really is kinda repüetetive since the vocals are from output arcade and I couldn't find any other fitting lines.

Yes, I definitely kind of ran out of steam on that one. I updated it and added a few more seconds of sound. Thanks for the good ears and for listening.

Thanks mate : )

yeah he a great artist bro thank you for the feedback
