Tumbleweed

Hi Ed.
The thing is,i like different genres of music and i always like to try to make stuff that i really want,its a bit how my mood is/was at the time of making a track.
Your stuff its really well produced and one can tell you are a talented musician.
Yeah,Spivkurl is a legend and i like his approach to music as well.

Thanks for your kind words and feedback

Nelson

Thank you sir!

Yeah, I like my horror gritty, ha ha. Thanks for listening :D

Cheers Tumbleweed. I'm going to do more with it soon, just need to wait out this blip in my creative flow. Hopefully it will not be too long!

Thanks, Ed. That's a wonderful story, and a thrilling compliment. =)

Hello Ed

Thank you for listening and nice comment! You're definitely right about the commercial radio junk format haha. I am still trying to create everything almost entirely from scratch which may give some quite original musical results sometimes. Thanks for pointing this!

I forgot to post a proper link to the Vocal Song Remix Contest http://www.looperman.com/forum/thread/183949/vocal-song-remix-contest This track is only a short sketch so far and I want to extend it very soon into at least 8min mix. I have some concepts and many sounds ready to go but very limited time for the actual production.
The original acapella is in Eb Major http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/168179 but I somehow managed to connect it with bassline in E adding lot of distracting sounds ('aquarium' sounds are Roland patches). I sliced the vox and played it ramndomly using a sampler. Clavinet bassline and Electric Piano are from Roland as well - the harmony is Emaj - EbMaj progression.

I am not sure which particular rhythm pattern you mean as spanish - I added Groove Filter which is delay-type plugin to epiano layer, it might produce quite funky patterns...

I am happy that you find this one interesting and many thanks for good words and your continous support! I will try to make major updates quickly and post longer version before the end of the competition.

All the best to you, Alex

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
