You make me shy Bear, don't say such kind things ..
The lyrical voice should have been worked on better but I haven't got the right technical stuff :(
Every song I make is a way to clean up my heart and exorcise all the pain inside . I'm singing for everyone who's got a few minutes to waste and my voice is only a filter for what overwhelms my heart when I think of this guy in particular ...
He's my soul and spirit, I'm his voice only .
You don't know how much you moved me with your words about transcending language ... ! Love does it and is the air I breathe . I'm very deeply touched .
Sorry for the blabla,
Merci de tout mon coeur, Bear,
Bises
Very nice start Doc. It has that Earth, Wind and Fire feel to it. All it needs is some vocals over the top of it and I think you have a hit on your hands.
I thought Joe and Fila were about the only two on here who produced great funk, but it is obvious you are right up there with the best of them.
Thanks so much shortbus , really honored with your comment , but let's say i ve just posted two funky tracks , i will need few tracks more to compete with these guys....
This one is stellar Jamie.....like having Oscar Peterson and George Benson in the same studio and maybe Freddy Gruber on percussion, and Dave Holland on bass :) This song is that good!!!!
I absolutely loved it. A tip of the hat to two of Looperman's finest.
Man, you just keep cranking out the hits. I think you can produce great music no matter what the genre, but alt rock seems to be an arena that you really take things to a whole new level.
This one could easily be playing on the radio today all over the world. It's current sounding, relevant and exactly what the doctor ordered.
Take a bow my friend. Like John said this one is a ten out of ten. Loved that guitar solo :) Well done brother. I hope all is well.
Thanks, man. I'm really glad that you liked it. You always seem to relay the best comments ever. I hope sooner or later we would have the priviledge to work together on something. As always, thank you. I hope you are enjoying your time with your family.
Outstanding job on this one. Your dynamics are really special, and they add so much to the overall feeling of this piece. There is a lot going on here, yet you managed to place everything perfectly in the mix. It all works so well.
I love cinematic music and this piece is a great illustration of why I love it so much. This one is ready for film my friend.
Doc, this is really, really well done. If this is your first foray into down-tempo, and the result is this good, perhaps you should consider doing more :)
There is nothing to critique here, simply an amazing soundscape that blends the wonderful sax of Slap Johnson and the spoken words of Obama, with these wonderful synth sounds you created. Flawless!!
Many, many thanks for your beautiful comments. I am not sure however if I will be doning more stuff on 88 bpm :-).
You know, sometimes everything just falls in the right place. That's at least what I experienced producing this track. And of course with help of Slap, Obama and the synths :-).
I will print your comment and hang it over my bed!
Great start to what could be a fantastic song. It needs a bridge to break up the repetitive nature of things....or maybe a chord change on the final chorus. Anyway, your vocal work is stellar as usual. I look forward to the final product.
If I made you smile, then my heart is filled with joy .
You're someone very humane and your music proves it, Bear, so I'm touched and honoured by your comment .
Bises,
Janis
Thank you very much. I appreciate your comments as you seem to be very active here on looperman and you know a lot of all these people here !?
Well, I was really amazed of SlapJohnson as he remembers me of the early works of Jan Garbarek, which is one of my favourite musicians on this planet!
And beside that it was a sudden fortune, that all the mixed loops in this track do not only fit musically but also in content. "Many voices for the joy in the world !"
Oh man, this is so nice. The sax is just sensational, the piano work is off the charts good, and the guitar is the topping on this jazz sundae. I am assuming that is you on guitar, and if so, absolutely stellar work.
Thanks so much for the kind words. It's very ironic that you commented because your Rhodes grooves brought me here. I searched everywhere for some cool Rhodes loops and yours were by far the best. I'll post the results in a few weeks.
Hey John, I think this track expresses your angst quite well. It is emotional, uplifting, and dramatic....just like the struggle Amber faces each day. Keep fighting the good fight my friend. I wish only good things for the two of you and I look forward to the wonderful news of your marriage in August :)
Wow Jamie, it is amazing how your filled in the holes in this one. Your guitar work is absolutely spectacular. It is like having George Benson sit in.....
Thanks for making it available for download. I'm going to share the new and improved version with everyone.
I'm glad you liked my efforts Bear and thanks for the kind comments. George Benson! - If only. I have updated this with a subtle remix following bbelle's comments.
Sometimes less is more and in this case, that is the truth. All you need is your wonderful piano and Romy's vocals. I love the intimate feel on this one. It's like I was in the studio watching you two record it live.
I love the understated brilliance of this one. Great job to both of you.
Thanks a lot for your comment! Indeed it was a pleasure to work with this amazing kind of vocals and of course this voice is worth to be left standing for itself.
Yes: Les is more!
I came searching for another great travel tune to add to my collection and I've found it - EUREKA!!! This is just about as tasty as they get, superb bass, crisp percussion and Steve on the sax. God man, this is fabulous. I'm burning the mp3 to disc as we speak and then running out to the car to put it in the player, hahaha.
You are a rare gift my friend and the world is a better place with your music in it. Bravo maestro.
I hope all is well. A huge thanks for the download :)
Hey Bear..thanks a lot man!...an oldie but a goodie...actually of the tracks that I've made and listen to(not many!lol),this is it....I just love what Steve did here on his Soprano...cheers mate,your patronage is very humbling.
Dave :)
I have to agree with Michael. I would call this cinematic/avant-garde/fusion and I second the genius comment. This is something that Quentin Tarantino would definitely use in his films.
Why are you not famous? You have such a current sound...I seriously think your music could easily be playing on radio stations anywhere in this world.
Your control is amazing, and you have an almost uncanny "feel" for what is needed, and when it is needed in a song (I hope that makes sense - your timing, dynamics, inflection, all of the great things great singers do).
It was really fun to hear your original song. I did take off in a whole different direction with your pella, didn't I, hahaha.
Thanks for your kind words. I am humbled by your praise and in awe of your talents. Thanks for sharing them with all of us here on Looperman.
Beautiful work. Now if I can just get my favorite button to work ;)
Oh Bear, your comment goes straight to my heart ( even if it makes me shy because it's undeserved ... ) !!
The nicest thg for me is that you like my work and come to say it . That's why I'm making music .
Then, you know, without a label and the "right people" behind you, there are few opportunities to hope for, unfortunately ..
Yes, you gave a very different atmos' to it and I loved what you did !!!Let ME thank YOU for your warm support, Bear .
Bises,
Janis
Hi Bear !
Oh, how sweet you are to me ! You make me shy with such an undeserved comment ! ...
I'm delighted you liked it !! T'was my very first song and try with music-making .
A very big thank you for your support and kindness,
Take care, Bear,
Bises,

Jamie, it is always such a pleasure to listen to your work. You are one of the best on Looperman when it comes to jazz, simply a master's class in doing things the right way. Your synth work was spot on. Beautiful mix, everything sitting so nicely. And then when that guitar comes in, my oh my, what a wonderful moment.
Like Patricia, I'm wishing I could download as well, hahaha.
Thanks I wrote the track and then had My05 add the fill stuff. I also liked the Piano he did.
The vocals were from a track I found on the net. I really am not into rap this was just one for the fun of it. Wanted to add the EVH style riff to it. Most say it sounds like RUN DMC.
Thanks for your concern on the hurricane. Yes I survived fine thank GOD. Praying to GOD really helped me.

Young lady, you are simply one of the best vocalists on Looperman.com. Your vocal acrobatics always leave me in total amazement.
Your music has the ability to transcend language and culture.
Absolutely flawless in every way.
