Classic Spivkurl signature sound.Very video-gamish vibes.You being an analogue head,i wonder on how you go and pick certain machines you want to compose a song.
That feature alone must be amazing by any standards.
You must know your machines inside out.
Good work
Thanks for being the first to comment on this one! There are actually four MIDINES samples in this, courtesy of Labelwhore. That may explain part of the video game vibe. Polyphonic use of samples from my circuit bent VC3T (Talking Teacher) module probably has something to do with it as well, since those were made in classic gaming times. It's pretty hard to explain how I chose what will go into a song... sometimes a certain instrument will shape the rest of the song, and sometimes I will chose an instrument for it's specific strong points. This actually combined both, in that it was two related projects brought together. The VC3T sets shaped one heavily, and the other one had Microkorg chosen to provide some pitched kick work. All in all, the song was finished due to ulterior motives, but I still enjoy listening to it. Choosing an instrument is definitely becoming more difficult from day to day, which is part of why some of my songs end up with instruments which some listeners find to be out of place, such as classical guitar or vintage organs. I have far to many instruments to know them inside out, in fact I have quite a few which have never been used or recorded. Thanks again for listening and downloading!
Iam finding really interesting what some of the people on Looperman are doing at the moment.
This song particular takes me on a ride,maybe its the groove,maybe your voice.
Great use of the loops and cool arrangement (sublime fade out).
Read the review before yours. I think you're being kind and I like that in a review. People say my tunes are trippy, but I just make 'em,like I hear 'em in my head. Thanks for your review and your listen and what you liked about it. vic
If Frank Zappa went the blaxpotation music route he would have sounded like this.
Despite the use of several sounds from different sources,the track is really well balanced.
Glad i downloaded your track.

Thanks for sharing
Man, I love the Zappa comment, you made my day :D. Big fan of his, I wish I had the talent of the tip of his mustache :D . Thanks for listening and commenting, and glad you enjoyed it. TG
Im in love with your voice.I really like the ABBA-esque(compliment)vibe of your vocals on this song.
So beautiful and genuine.
I really hope someone starts collaborating with you soon.
One musician i can highly recommend its Silverpaw but i dont know if its still on the Looperman.
What a triumphant song!
I dont know nothing about the original but this is really awesome stuff.
The production is flawless.
Its amazing how all the elements interact with each other.
The indian sounds really give an distinct aura to the song.
I am sure you'll equally love the original track. Glad you liked the Sitar (Indian instrument) part. I wanted to combine both Indian Classical with EDM sounds... so this is what i have come up with.
Nice mixture of retro sounds and modern ones.
Lovely reggae vibe when introduced.
Very,very clever arrangement,it keeps things really interesting.
Nice mixing skills.
Good edit of the fantastic acapella from Charlie Green.
Mixing wise(hats are way too loud) you could make a few things differently but you will get there with time.
I hope you had a good time doing this one.
Regards
Really nice melodies throughout the track.Dreamy it may be but its a very interesting track indeed.
Would be really cool if you could add an rising automated reverb on the bass synth from the 01:28 mark to 02:12 and end the track with a fade out or with the main melody.
Well done kid(considering you are only 12 years-old).
Its surely a Spivkurl track.
This a psychedelic electronica circus-orgy(compliment).
By the way and out of curiousity,did you record your vocals straight into the computer?
Your style its very distinct and unique.
I am getting into modular synths and all that and i remember you saying(i might be wrong)you did yours.
Nice job Patrick
Hey, man, been good to see you around more lately! I appreciate the fine comment! Regarding the vocals, I did a lot of takes on this one... but the primary stuff I used was recorded on two mics simultaneously, my Kustom uni-directional dynamic and the right side of my Audio Technica stereo condenser. Put the two inputs into my Scarlett interface, and routed each to separate channels to get a mono recording of each. Then I went through that takes for each section and listened for the best stuff and kept it. Note that I didn't keep the same take for both mics in each section, so it's technically double takes. I think it gives a bit of vocal depth and interest. Yes, you're right, I built my modular over the past ten years or so. Still adding to my setup though, as in the last month I finished a standalone synth which accepts a control voltage, as well a 4 step sequencer to control whatever accepts CV or gate signals. I'm going to put both of those things up on my blog as soon as possible (probably in the next day or two), so check in there if you get a chance. http://www.wearerecords.com/spivkurl.html I appreciate the supportive feedback and the listen. Hope that you are well!
Despite the lyrics telling me otherwise,i really found this song to be catchy/happy or at least cheerful.
Everything sounds honest to me.
Lovely melodies adorn the whole song.The arrangement itself dont follow rules,of wich i found really interesting.
The singer is very competent and adds charisma to the song.
Very good collaboration.
Very intense and deep stuff.
Listened to the whole piece and it really feels like a journey,a proper journey.
All the elements gel perfectly with each other.
The arrangement(yes the arrangement)its really subtle and clever as it triggers some emotions that not too often other pieces do(at least with me).
The concept behind the piece alone as described by you is amazing.
Great combination of instruments and its melodies.Very 80s at times but thats a good thing in my book.
I like the arrangement of the song as its well put together.
Many thanks for taking time to comment and I was trying to achieve an 80's feel at times..without being to obvious!!but really pleased you liked it.
best wishes,
Mark/Larry!
Nelson glad to see U back after awhile & many many thnx.
especially I should say thnx if U think my trials deserve for that sort of serious usage ..particulary I'm someone who never watches movie & having no guess why my trials sound cinematic when I'm someone so faaar from cinematic world..i just can say I imagine notes as alphabet to express my imagination & set them to work as a pictorial representationsin listener's mind.and reading this analysis from yourside makes me think they have worked, & I'm gratefull & it makes my lips remember forgotten frame of smile in a gray noon of this side of planeT,for a while... greatest appreciations for listening & feedback & your worthy shared comprehension in comment with me & us about
this trial. best wishes .___Behnam
Well produced and arranged song.Part-dreamy and part-nostalgic.I can feel the melodies and the interaction between the different instrumentation you used.There are some fantstic call-and-response moments on the track.
I really like the warmth of the track.Well produced but above everything is the good vibes and feeling on the whole track.It reminds me of some of the early days of Trance.This track could well go over the 8 minute mark and still be relentless.
Theres an amazing excellence on this track.Incredible intro,from a talented bloke like yourself.
Looperman is fortunate to have musicians like yourself.
my friend I'm honoured for this fortune to be in looperman & can share mu musiX with various artists like U & the others & learn from all here..and dear Nelson,my greatest appreciations to U & your beautifull perception & thaughts abouT this tiral of mine & me ,thnx fr your presence & Wish all the best for U .___Behnam
