Hey Bl - great live sound happening here thumpingly cool- If someone told me it was a pixie's demo Id almost believe them although it reminds me just a little of the Liars too - but all that is just me orienting to this - youve always had a distinct and creative voice and style and this is just great. : )
thank you pseudoblle :) this was my first try on live tracking. i hate punch in and out. i just got my first console and i have to learn a lot to mix live tracks. i love the pixies and its a great honor that i remind you of them. love from a banana
Hey Michael - big classic rock ballad sound with lovely deep warm thumping bass. Nice work mate - Im sure your vocalist neighbour is chuffed at how good this sounds! : )
wow - such a nice song, well structured too and love the live production sound. the piano is beautiful and the guitar/s are very nice in the mix(and especially the last couple of lead breaks are very classy). Id say the piano sounds sometimes like it's getting a bit of a thumping and perhaps a more deft touch would make the track more refined - but to be honest I really like the powerful sound and expression of this performance. Finally your voice is really excellent of this - Congratulations
Thanks a lot my friend!!
You're spot on for the piano, I also noticed it but wasn't in a mood yet to change it (as I'm now working on "Snow in Athens", the track you inspired :D)
The other thing I want to change is the section with the bridge, which either needs a stronger instrumentation than the section before (the logical way to do it) or maybe a completely naked version, acapella, or maybe a bit more, to highlight the lyrics. I haven't decided there, but definitely I will do both that and redo the keys.
Thanks a lot, that helps!!
Hey BL - always love your voice and equally your lyrics and lofi style - here it's a real contrast to the clean and polished backing track (from Maj) but works beautifully : )
thank you pseudoble, that cheers me up. i really a huge fan of old cassete tapes demo from 80´s to 2000. but it is hard in this modern time. a lot of my local musician friends don´t understand it and they always critisze my for lack of polish. they want to sound like a spotify playlist. but i want more honesty and realness in music. thank you for listening. love from a banana
Hey Michael - nice soft rock pop tune, think it has a bit of an 80's vibe and it does have a nice swing to, some nice flourishes and very classic production sound to it. : )
Nice work Cru - its pushing the genres and in a lovely way more than just heavy metal although that's clearly home base for this one. That little bridge 37 to 40 is so reminiscent of something but I cant put my finger on what. I think democracy is going to be taking a hit unfortunately - well lets hope the music of protest grows stronger and our younger generations have a world to live and love on.
Well, the results are in....not quite yet so we will have to wait and see. It's kind of a metal fusion tune and I wanted to release that pent-up anxiety in a productive way, thanks for coming along the ride.
Too cool - nice tune, great vocal performance, love the instrumentation
The theremini is 650 bucks in Australia! I had better do some of that backlog of invoicing ; )
Oh wow, that's a lot. It was $100 cheaper a year ago, now $400 in America. Totally fun to play, I actually played the notes in the scale I chose. It's versatile in being able to choose the root note and scale and displays the note you are playing, which is very helpful.

Lovely ambience - fantastic drums, and lovely piano work - amazing sound all round .... real muso, real instruments and a wonderful composition, professionalism and class ... hard to match : )
More synth pop than ambient Id say (but wtf do I know, never can get genre right) but this is 'nice' bright and uplifting ... Id want to put in a sax or trumpet but hey I cant help myself : )
Tender and heartfelt lyric with an intimate vocal performance and such beautifully gentle instrumentation all perfectly fitting - Beautiful track and great work - I could imagine most dads would be very proud to hear this
Well mate if someone is going to rub off on you Ben (or Bod) is a very fine and pretty creative choice and this track is wonderful, deeply rhythmic and percussive with lovely melodic flourishes too. If Yes and Pink Floyd collaborated to make a river dance track it might sound like this. A very nice trip indeed : )
Ian did notice LM is a funny sort of place the track that you think is going to do very well doesn't and the one you think is not does.
I think will have to live and learn!
Thanks, mate.
Maj
This is sweet - love the soft electro beats that shuffle in over the melody. It starts to sound repetitive but not in a bad way, it feels like it's swelling, drawing in a very deep breath and then the little change comes, breathe out ... appropriately melancholic but sometimes that is life hey. Nice work.
Yes, it is.
I have made it like that to portray the feeling mate.
I have I was successful, evidently I was which is good.
Thanks for the faves, my mate.
Maj
Very cool and uplifting ... more than uplifting ... Im soaring into the heavens, great arrangement, wonderful percs and instrumental breaks and flourishes, seamless transitions and lovely sound production too (to my ears as usual some zappa-esque hints) :)
Glad you checked in, Ian. We want nothing more than to entertain the listener and of course we are always very happy when someone enjoys our tracks. Music is a self-rewarding thing, but when other people like what you do, it's simply the most beautiful thing. In this respect: Thanks for listening and the kind words. Oh, and if it always kind of reminds you of Zappa, that's probably because one of us here is the Chrome Dinette... yeah

Always know Im in for a sonic treat when I press play on your tracks - beautiful start, very cinematic/ atmospheric and then it slides into a jungle of beats and dark rhythms and evolves into a kind of very cool dance track before transforming again, with so many variations I feel like I can choose my own adventure ... I still have no idea what phonk is - but this is great : )
Thanks, if you want to learn about the history of Phonk, Oldgoon will tell you. DISCLAIMER: ( I am only using elemental ideas of the music and not the whole genre to create stuff like I normally do) I don't want there to be any misleading ideas /S That out of the way my next song will be labeled either "get of my lawn" or "Soundcloud sucks" anyhow rant over, main loops used in the "groove part were." wait for it: From looperman back in 2021:

Thanks for listening and your warm and inviting comments.
I hope I haven't embarrassed myself too much,,,,,lol

This is a wonderful vocal performance and the guitars are very cool too
A kind of live / slightly indie sound but that give it a lot of authenticity that too much polish might gloss over

I love the mix - its thumping but still warm and vibrant
Great utilisation of the vox
Clever ending too

Great lyric and vocal, great sound
Long live the humps : )
Except for the drums, EZ Drummer, it was all played and sung live. Not at the same time though, he.
