Hey Bear,

Wow, I am flattered :D YOur words mean alot to me :) To make a score for a movie or something similar would be like a dream come true :D

Greetings SBC

Bear...please forgive me for not responding back to you sooner. I love to hear from you and I always get a visual of you having your cup of java listening to music. Thank you so much for your very encouraging appreciation and I do miss you on Looperman. You are soooooo talented and add so much to this great community of artists. Please give a big hug to your "sweet one" from me.

Much love,

Hello Bear,

That's one of the best comments I have ever received. I feel my hard work has paid off a little, Really appreciate your kind words and yes, if i get a chance, i'll definitely try to pitch it for any dog commercial that comes across. This comment actually made my day and this time, thank you for putting a smile on my face :)

Cheers!

Hey Bear!

Thank you dear friend...these calm, chillis tracks are very very close to me at this time...at live, we play loud and after the gigs, it's very good to relax a bit...

Appreciate every word you wrote and thought!

Greetings and handshake, Danke

Thanks Bear. It's all me on these compositions, this one is all programmed/loops, no 'real' instruments to be found.

Austin TX is the place to be; can't really imagine living anywhere else...

Hi my friend! I appreciate your visit today! It's interesting you mention Aminor, as aside from scale calibration and maybe a bent Korg, this was composed in C major, which you I'm sure know uses the exact same notes. That explains the tetris comparison, and probably the slight detuning makes it sound a bit more minor than it should. Happy that you can find a substitute (synergy) for coffee in my music. Sometimes I find it nice to deprive myself of things (like Kramer!) and yesterday I went all day without coffee, by the evening my head was aching and my jaw hurt, so I know how the need for stimulation goes. I think I had heard that Alicia Keys thing before, but had forgotten... it's a humorous play on her name! Thank you very much for listening!

Thank you for so much positive feedback!!! I am doing so... The finished product should be out very soon!

Hi Bear, Thanks for all the good vibes and nice comments. If you read the reply I gave to AnalogDisc above, you will see why I have taken so long to respond here- unforseen circumstances. Anyway I really appreciate it and I will be adding more stuff soon and look forward to hearing your music.

Thank you Bear.

This track is based on the idea that was sent to me by ferryterry earlier, it is actually my 2nd take on this material. I reharmonized it and found vocals that fit as well as other sounds. I had to cut vocal to make it fit in here - the title is from original lyrics (I removed that verse). Yes indeed, I played all keys in here (and violins) - as always.

Thank you for listening to this song and your words, really glad I could provide you some enjoyable moments.

All the best to you, Alex

hey Bear
i hope all is well my friend. it was really my pleasure and certainly will love to do that again anytime. it has been a smooth experience to work with your stems at all times and time flew by sooo quickly....
that's always the good stuff when that happens. i mean when nights seem to only last a few minutes, that kind of time dilation.
sorry to you too about the ultra slow response.
first i had to go help serve in the civil protection (instead of military) for a while and then i caught a bone inflammation in my elbow from over-straining it by my own weight as i was sitting at the table. what.. weird stuff, i must have been quite distracted that i didn't realise it sooner. oh well, it's all back to normal one of these days and finally i may also use the computers and keyboards again, so i am excited!
already did a small number this weekend and will upload that in the next few minutes if all goes as planned.
so long man, have a great time and thanks again!

Thanks for the comment Bear :)

hey Bear
thanks for explaining the "hearing is shot" phrase, at first i expected the worst and thought you had an accident or something that damaged your ears.
although i guess technically it's an accident, just one that creeps up on you over the years.
i noticed about two years ago that i hear slightly less on my right side, but it's very minimal still.
a reminder to watch out for prolonged exposure to excessive levels. i always work with headphones and i am especially prone to go overboard with the volume there. it's easy to forget as long as the hearing seems ok. and very comfortable cans don't help either hehe.
also thanks for your lovely comment. glad you like the piano. i have also prepared something this evening for you which i will upload shortly.
cheers my friend

Thanks for your nice compliments. I really was digging this tune also. Really has a good beat to it. I had the basic Idea I owe My03 a lot he totally made it happen.

I hope all is well with you also.

Thanks for the kind words. I suppose it does have cinematic undertones since the track paints a story, albeit a short one. Thanks again,

Steve

Thanks Bear,
I have actually not spent so much time here: I think I had most thinks "in mind" before starting recording.
Of course there are several layers of sound, but they are quite "simple" so I didn't have to adjust to much to have them sounding "OK".
Ciao, Domenico

Ahh you are too kind Bear.
Believe it or not the Keyboard I used
for this was a $199 Yamaha. Even the drums, but I used a most expensive Roland Guitar processor to make some of these sounds magical. Mixed on the fly on a 4 track Sony It was fun to revive this one with modern mastering.
"Another outstanding effort from one of the best musicians on Looperman."
is a very high compliment from a great musican yourself and I am humbly grateful for that.
All the Best
Steve

Thanks for the feedback. Just like you said it's really tough to mix on a pre-mixed instrumental. I think the engineer did a pretty nice job to work on this. I really like the outcome but you know, it is always good to have a different feedback from different people. I am glad you like it thank you for your review :) And of course, let's keep the dream alive.

hey Bear. just discovered this comment. glad you enjoyed this and thought it worked with the art. it's my muse and I guess I will keep going with it. all the best. Dan

i'm happy you had a chance to check it bear. the glass bow was a little tricky - you have that right. glad if it was working for you. we need to give ourselves at least a moment of satisfaction for what has been achieved, because we are always pushing ahead, trying to get to the next level. glad you were digging it! Dan

Thanks for the kind words. I think we may share the same decades. As far as being able to play multiple instruments. I would like to claim I do. But the keyboard is the only instrument I play. Thank goodness for VSTs to provide the sounds I need.-Thank you PDMuzak
