on Want To-featuring Bunnie Rabbit by dansjoy4
Hey Dan....you outdid yourself on this one man...the vocal may be the star...but I gotta say you did one superb job on the keys (piano & synth)...you`ve got a great sound mix...has that late night loungy vibe with a sprinkle of R&B going on...well composed and perfectly delivered...gotta fav this one.....Ed

on Random Acts Of Human Kindness by StaticNomad
You`ve got a good one going here Static....I do like the length...it maintains that late night in the city blues vibe (if thats the right description) all the way with the lead guitar weaving those cool melody bits...very nice job on the guitar too by the way...would be a cool accompaniment for a video but its dam good listening music just as it is....enjoyed this one.....Ed

Hello. This one is right up your late night street. Damn, it's got a lot of comments for the number of plays. It was at something like 10 comments for 30 plays - the best ration I've ever had. Reminds me of your level of popularity on this site.

Maybe it's something to do with it being so much shorter than most of my other tracks. Perhaps commenting at all on something that's over 10 mins is just too daunting for most people. Or maybe they're awful tracks but this short one is great. Anyway, I don't make music for Looperman members, I just happen to post it here.

It's going to be a lot longer because I've already got a lot more recorded for it, just not yet finished. The drums stay at the same tempo but get busier and less sparse so appear to pick up pace. That kind of shuffle groove I find incredibly easy to play loads and loads of blues guitar on. I could go on for hours so am finding ways to give each section real character. And there's a hell of a bass riff driving it all plus my usual other range of sounds.

Late night in the city didn't come to mind when making this but I know what you mean. Morphine are the greatest group for that, not that they're even a blues group.Or jazz. Just their own unique genre.

I do like this one's legth and would be happy to leave it at this length. But the other stuff I have is irresistible and it'll be interesting to hear the range of guitar soloing though I think the best solo is in this version (after 2 mins). Noitce the sitar playing occasionally under those guitar solo notes.

The solo was one take of playing but then chopped up and reordered as not every bit of it was great. I was just noodling about so had no real structure. The careful editing has really given each section each progresses through some character. One of my best solos, especially as I'm not really a lead player or soloist.

Have a listen again when I post the extended epic version.

on It Was Written by YungWillCPR
Nice job on the words and vocal deivery YungWill...its a nice smooth mix and I like the piano...Please take it as constructively intended...but I found the music mix got quite repetative after the first minute or two...It stays in an A minor key all the way through....I think you would really kick it up a notch by just doing a couple of key changes...or maybe a little progression like Am-C-G-Am would work a treat and you wouldn`t even have to change the vocal...anyway...a big well done to you...melodic hip hop raises the bar....keep on doing it.....Ed

on After the levee broke Zepp Tribute by topvega
I`m with you on the whole idea of doing a new take on the band`s sound but doing your own thing at the same time (easier said than done)..this one nails it..my younger brother got into Zep before I did (I was drooling on Steppenwolf) but they were great...on that widening the mix thing tv...if you are making room for a vocal in the middle/up front..it may be an idea...If the lead guitar bits are to carry the melody I would be more inclined to actually do the opposite..take a little reverb off (or set a long pre-delay on the guitar`s reverb.) and get the lead a bit more in front of the band...It a dam good rock tune tv...my day is off to a good start...right on...Ed
topvega
topvega replied 3rd May 2014 - 11 years ago
Thanks for those tips Ed. I might remix the lead and put it more up front since I don't have vocals. Appreciate you taking the time to give it a listen and commenting.

on Memories by MagneticRecords
You have some great sounds and a nice catchy key prog going MR...perhaps it is just me but the hand clap and bass/kick drum seem out of time with one another in places?...If you get that bass part waaay down in frequency to sub level it will sound less disonant and fatten up the bottom end for you...I think you have the ingredients for a good mix here MR ..keep it going......Ed

on AWAKENING by dansjoy4
That piano bit followed by that big rich pad is a real grabber Dan...the quiet bit at 2:10 just lets the whole thing soak into your brain....what a great mix of the big industrial power with really tasty musical elements...some thoughtful composing here too...It may not be a genre I have spent much time listening to but its dam good music in any genre Dan....great job.....Ed

dansjoy4 replied 30th Apr 2014 - 11 years ago
Thanks Ed for the kind remarks and compliments. Yeah the second part at 2:10 is my favorite part on this track. I enjoyed composing this and may do some more future industrial tracks. Appreciate you dropping in and its good to see you back. Peace out.....Dan =B-)

on Psychogenic Sammich by Spivkurl
I`d put Spiv`s signature on this one no matter where I heard it (see... you may educate me yet)...can`t help notice the production stuff you have going on Spiv..the way you spread out those fx bits that produces a lot of space for the main synth & beat parts...always an adventure, education an fun listen..cool littel piano bit at the end....right on....Ed

on lets forget about my inconvincible father by ElenaSatine
I am way late in catching up with this one Elena...but glad I finally did...this is good rocking stuff...reminds me just a little of a group I used to listen to a long time ago (Steppenwolf) who did many of my fav rock songs...good straignt forward arrangement..those little drops/breaks work well...You should finish this one...some banging drums would be great and maybe a couple of short screaming lead parts...well done ladyinred......Ed

Like many of us...you are likely your own harshest critic Mark...this is good stuff mate...I know...I listened through to the last note & enjoyed every funky hopping pop minute,,...an eclectic mix of instruments and nicely produced....keep them coming...you obviously had a lot of gems you were keeping to yourself....well done...Ed

Hi Ed,

A big thank you as always for your kind, positive but always honest comments. I am really pleased you liked and yes I have a store of earlier work, but feedback at the time was negative so I mothballed them and saved most as mp3's but have lost a lot of the original wav files. I decided to give them an airing on looperman so I could have some constructive feedback!!

Great to hear from you again Ed and take care.

Very best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

on Bad Boy Sound by FreeRadical
I just had to go and read your profile page (again) FR...and its been well worth the read every time so far..haha...and about the music.....I know squat about DnB so I`m just listening...(my body would hurt too much if I tried dancing to it on a Monday morning)...its got big fat production values and I note that you hit it hard with the limiting that seems to be a common part of the genre...I can tell you were having fun doing this one....it was a fun listen too (woke me right up)......Ed

Yeah, it's probably about time i updated that profile page as those jokes are pretty darn old now.
As for the track i'm glad you listened to it but i have a better version that i've been trying to upload for about an hour and a half. It's really winding me up now!
Anyway, thank you for playing my row of a tune, i know it's not really your thing so that makes it that little bit more special.

Hi Advait07...I am not a good source of advice on the genre...but I think you are off to a good start and I notice that you have already received some useful comments & suggestions...I am always in agreement with those who suggest variation and structure in compositions as it tends to make the mix more interesting as listening music as well...good for you...keep it going...Ed

ah yes...this is the kind of musical trip that makes you set aside less important things and remember that you are on a short journey on this little beautiful planet filled with many wonderful things that are there to be found by those who can let the noise and darkness of the self-interested minority and political power players fall aside...I listened to this a while back Orlando, but didn`t have the chance to leave a few comments...superbly done...Ed

Thx alot Ed...I didn't know you've already checked it out, otherwise I wouldn't be bothering you. This piece of music will leave some memories for me in the sense how it has been done. I did the whole thing in one or two hours. It was an incredible experience. I did the complete lenght basic track in one single take, which is incredible. I just did some overdubs later on. In fact it was like uninterupted live session. It just happened that magical night when my emotions and my fingers on the keyboard were in perfect harmony. This just can't be repeated! It was one off experience.
Thanks again for your kindness...

All the best____Orlando

many thanks to you my friend, I'm very glad you like it.
On this site we met people with incredible talent, who bring inspiration, good stuff, among other things.
not always the most upbeat songs has the same enthusiasm that an ambient music, feelings may be different in musical genres.
depends on the composition. ,D
thank you for leave a comment here,for all support

on Spivkurl vs DeciBel - Hidden Locked Tight by Spivkurl
Really interesting track Spiv...I knew it would be when I read that you and Behnam were mixing it up...definite industrial backing and a bit dark/ominous..The vocal is quite a contrast..not so much the lyrics...but it has a lighter vibe and your vocal character puts a more upbeat vibe to it in spite of the darkness of the words...I guess it just continues to prove that music can paint some very complex pictures for the mind of the listener...Music for thinking people...that is a very creative kind of accomplishment....a well done to you and Behnam...Ed

Spivkurl replied 13th Apr 2014 - 11 years ago
Your comment made my day friend! I hadn't really thought about the feelings you got from the vibe of the vocals and stuff. I think the lyrics are pretty basic averall, but I tried to inject the light and dark of life into them. I appreciate you listening to some unusual styles. Thanks very much!

you had me hooked right at the intro with that acoustic guitar MisterCH...you have a unique vocal character (and its not something that can be learned or bought) that catches attention...very vice job on this one...I dont mind reverb, but a little less on this one would be better...and thats just a personal taste thing....well done...Ed
MisterCH
MisterCH replied 1st Apr 2014 - 11 years ago
Thanks for listening!
And yes, I actually agree with you. When I put the reverb effect, I found it pretty cool, probably because I'd never really done it before, but now I think the song would be better off without it or, at least, with more subtlety to it.
