Tumbleweed

Thanks allot, Ed. Glad you like it. This and 'Pass me by' are my two favorites, but don't really listen to her much. It was one my mom liked, so thought I'd give it a go. Will have to check out 'Easy Evil,' though.

Cheers,
Scott

thanks Ed. Lately I have been working a lot of overtime in rotating shift work. Which leaves me no time. The obscure thing about it is when I am short on time my creative process is actually enhanced. When I sit down for 4 hours of uninterrupted time , my mind goes blank. Go figure. Pat

Thank you for the wonderful compliments! Yes, the vocals are mine. =) Yay, I'm so happy that you like this.

Thank you so much! Comments like these are what keeps me producing, glad you liked it!!

Thanks a lot Ed

Nice to know that you think that the vocals and the choirs work well together and that the beat fits to, cause it wasn't realy easy to make the choirs and this beat.

A well done from your side is always something i enjoy

stay tuned
joe

Thanks Ed.
My forte is hip hop and when I venture outside of that I still have a little bit of that influence so I get stuck on the genre thing. But I guess its like you said, cinematic has such a wide range.

Thanks again

Thank you TW. It was difficult to get the takes right at first, but as soon as I relaxed and learned to love the soft hiss of the tape deck, I really enjoyed the experience. Also, I'm relieved that you liked the vocals, I always feel nervous about showcasing my voice. Though I'm starting to use it more and more lately.

Cheers,

TA

My apologies, my dearest Tumbleweed! I just saw this comment. I do appreciate your kind words. And yes, it seems the biggest problem here is my kick tightness. But alas, when your computer is horrible, then everything else suffers :c Maybe I'll be able to upgrade soon! That'd be quite nice lol

Thanks Ed. That review was a real confidence booster. I'm glowing!

Hi Ed,

Thanks allot for your kind words. Yeah, a lot of people like the Hammond, but unfortunately, it's not used much in today's music. I still love listening to all those organ based rock bands of the 60s and 70s. Damian is basically a piano player, but I think his organ and synth playing is as good as his piano.

Cheers,
Scott

Thank you Ed! I truly appreciate your nice comments. I just have listened to David Byrne&Talking Heads' 'Once in a Lifetime' and 'Girlfriend is Better' (that one with big suit). Interesting. I tried to get the idea of the band's general artistic message so I watched some of interviews with David Byrne as well and now I understand the comparision. Thanks for pointing this! I must say I wasn't going intentionally any specific direction like that though and there wasn't actually any 'scenario' of how music should sound at the fist place - I simply wrote this track directly on daw juggling Spivkurls vocals, drums and bassline. There are 2 other songs we are still working on, maybe I will post one soon.
Thank you again for listening!
Best to you, Alex

Hi Ed,
Great to hear from you. I'm always a bit in awe of your mighty guitar playing, but I can hit the right notes often ( although not always in the right order :) ). Many thanks for your kind words. I'm trying to build my latest thing from a bass line. see how that works out !

thanks Ed

It is our loss not hearing you vocalize. You should try it at home and find your comfort zone. Record yourself and listen to the replay. You can just throw awauy the bad stuff and try again. Vic

Thanks for the suggestions man! Ill experiment with a few things and see what works better. The quiet synth sounds is a good suggestions

Its definitely minimal, I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Do you think I should add a pad or ambient noise or keep it as is?

What a gentle comment Ed :)

In a way the most things i make sounds a bit dark.
This one is realy very repetive and so it is in fact close to this Da DA DA one from Trio. Cool to know that i got a better beat :)
I never tryed to do something "normal" or maybe i tryed but never end with something close to normal. So you can be sure i will keep on doing music in that way.

Thanks for the friendly words. Realy nice to hear things like that from a real musican like you.

stay tuned joe

Hey, Ed. I was always falling asleep in harmony class or otherwise distracted so I have had no choice but to come up with my own musical language. It's fun trying to create connections between the visual and the sonic. It is my muse. Glad you had a chance to hear. hopefully this one has some more to come. Best regards - Dan

Thank you very much :)

Thanks for the listen and kind words. Do you have a breathy, raspy voice or can you massage it into one? With a moniker like Tumbleweed, I'd listen. Maybe no Crystal Gayle but at least a Don Williams or Tom T Hall. I got a stylized country-ishsong "My Baby's Got No Juice" which is pretty good. Not much on lyrics but loaded with signature country elements.
