on Hard Workin (Feat F D Roosevelt) by DonnieVyros
I like your reference to Bob Ross. You are the Bob Ross of music. Except I'm not convinced that anything you do is accidental. Maybe a tiny accident every now and then for inspiration, but your end result is always spot on.

This is another example of your extreme skills at composition and production. It also shows how all of your brain cells are firing at once :)

Well done.

Oh, you'd be surprised mate. Best example I got now is how I broke away from my current pyramid style build-up/down w/fades style on my older track *Rip It. I had copied everything from the first 5 or 6 channels & had positioned them slightly down the timeline (so I wouldn't have to worry about it later). When I finally built the song up to where I had put 'em everything just seemed to fit together perfectly (and it was a pretty sweet fade-to-a-boom-backatcha way of building the song back up).
The Ross ref is something I've grown fond of due to my experience with 'Art-snobbery' in school. Everyone acting so overly serious with it sometimes (ie, never use this color with this other color). In a way, that kind of thinking leads to very stylized, even cold/mechanical works of art. And to me, that betrays the very essence of "Art" or should I say, creativity, ya know? IMO, making art should be relaxing & pleasing, a fun experience (kinda hard to do when we're being all rigid about it). In a way, 'Happy Accidents' has become my sort of mission statement (go forth and do, eventually it'll seem right). I just used it below to point out the same thing that Flynn did to Tron in 82- "There is no grand plan..." Its how I normally fly, ya know? Mmmkay, thanks for stopping by & later on!

on Take Me To My Grave by Rockvocalist
Great rock voice....you are almost a throwback :) That's not a bad thing, believe me. A lot of the guys singing metal today wouldn't have been able to be roadies for the bands that blazed the metal trail.

You should have no trouble finding people on here who would love to work with you. Your range and control are impressive.

Really well done. Welcome to the Loop.

on A Glimmer Of Hope Feat Nuada by Crypt
DAMN Crypt, this is awesome. Nuada is a freaking genius, but it also helps to have a great track to work with.

And he had a great track to work with :)

This is bad azz my friend. I hope you guys do a few more together.

Thanks Bear. Nuada is working on a better mix for the song so check back in a few days if you want to hear a better version. Thanks again man.

on Scenes from a City by jfw
Outstanding effort Jamie. Your guitar work is simply fantastic, bass guitar exceptional, but your keyboard work is pretty damned awesome as well. You, sir, are one of the best musicians on this site and you never disappoint.

Faved at the downbeat :)

on The Rising Sun by 67Ecosse
Now, there is chilled and then there is CHILLED.....this one is so chill it frosted the outside of my iced tea glass :) This is "Quincy Jones" good my friend. Seriously, one of those grooves that could make you famous.

As I was listening to this, I kept thinking a great female vocalist singing on it would put it over the top. But then I thought, why mess with perfection?

Wonderful work. And a huge thanks for cooling things off around here (it was over 100 yesterday, only in the 90's today).

Bravo maestro. Bravo.

on Jammin with mr H by Kikajon
Outstanding job my friend. Great rock with outstanding guitar work and there is nothing better than Wayne on vocals :) A little bit like an upbeat Dylan tune.

Well done!!!

Bear

EDIT:

My bad PMK. You did an amazing job on the vocals....Wayne sucks, hahahahaha, just kidding. Seriously though, great job on the vox as well. Bear

Kikajon replied Unknown
Thank you, I'm glad you like it and I appreciate the nice words. The voice is mine though. I tried to delete the old track and reviews but that wasn't possible, oddly enough, and I couldn't delete the old reviews either. So this is actually a solo work, but I thank you for the kind words.

on We own the night by Webgab
I had to stick around and listen to one more before I left and I'm glad I did. This is smooth as butter. Production is flawless as is the composition.

Another amazing track. You have mad skills.

Faved again, and I'm happy to have discovered your music.

on Indulge Yourself with sax by Webgab
How have I missed your music????

It must be old age :)

I won't forget to come back and listen again.

This is fantastic. Absolutely one of the best tracks I've heard in a while. Beautiful work. Faved in 4 seconds.

Oh, and my compliments to J.P. Banks for the great sax work.

on Mountain Wind (LC synths only vers) by DonnieVyros
Hey DV, I think I reviewed this one the last time I lived at the Loop. I still get the same emotions today as I listen to it. With all of the stuff we have to work with - virtual instruments, fx, automation, loops, etc. it is nice to hear a piece that was played on the instrument in front of you.

There is something about the intimacy one can achieve using one single instrument to make a track. This piece shows that. Thanks for sharing a special moment in time.

Beautifully done.

Bear

DonnieVyros replied Unknown
I can't recall Bar, it was so long ago. This was done in my relative infancy with music. Didn't know much about programing & looping. I also didn't know any musicians that were into the same styles as me. All I had was they keyboard & the one soundfont (it was also recored at around 5am too). In that moment I was out on my front porch sitting on an in-table using the arms of an Adirondack chair as my stand with old clunky Koss headphones to drown out the sound). Took me about maybe 2 hours of tinkering and around 3 takes to get it the way it sounds now. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

on Siempre hay algo por lo que luchar by Vicen
Now this is what I call fusion....a wonderful melding of jazz and rock, with a Spanish flair. Outstanding vocal work as usual. At some point you are going to force me to learn Spanish :)

Bravo!!!

on Promise that you wont fall Updated Version by KaunaRiddle
Very nice vocals. You have a unique quality to your voice. Really nice control and I love the fact that your pitch is spot on. You also have the ability to express emotion when you sing, probably the most important thing a singer can learn.

This is really nice.

Malu gives great advice. It would be nice to have your vocals a bit more forward in the mix. It almost feels like your vocals were added after the song was mixed....

But I'm nit picking here, instead of enjoying the experience.

Extremely well done and I look forward to many more songs from you. And please thank your brother for his service to all of us. It is greatly appreciated.

Bear
KaunaRiddle
KaunaRiddle replied Unknown
Thank you so much. I have to agree with you on the mix, I do think there needs to be more especially with the vocals... I would like to take this song back to the studio and put some vocals behind the "talking part", and hold it out until the chorus comes in again! I think that would give the song more soul. :)

Now this is nice. Like Mr. Stokes said, it just invites people to jump in and play along. Outstanding effort on all fronts. Love the crystal clear guitar tones.

Muy Muy Bueno!!!!!!

on The Unbegotten-REMIX by Twanna1
I just thought I would stop by and have a cup of coffee while listening to one of my favorite singers.

You never disappoint, such flawless delivery. I cannot figure out why the world has not discovered your amazing talents....perhaps someday the right person will drop by.

You are remarkable and we are so lucky to have you in our midst.

I enjoyed my coffee, but not nearly as much as I enjoyed this song :)

Well done.

Twanna1 replied Unknown
Bear, my friend, thank you so much for your kind words. You are a phenomenal musician in your own right.

Just to let you know, a couple of weeks ago, I visited your loops and found "drums-Rock Kit 105bpm". This one loop started my journey to compose a track entitled "Do You See Their Faces". It is a track about our homeless and what we can do to assist them. Most of the loops on this track are from your loop repertoire. I am very excited about it and will share it with you soon.

Thank you again my friend. You always brighten my day:-)

God Bless,

Twanna

on SUBSPORT Liquid Damage Spivkurl Mix by Spivkurl
I have to agree with Nuada. I wasn't paying much attention and had the knob on 11 and the drums kicked in.....almost knocked my off my chair, hahaha.

Your production is always flawless, and this is no exception. Everything is just crystal clear and sitting nicely in the mix.

Another terrific effort. I think it is time for Shan to give you another 50 slots for your tunes :)

Sorry to take you off guard with those loud beats! I'm really glad you liked this mix, for some reason it was easy when working with such cool sounds!

I'd be pleased as heck to get another 50 slots, I'm tired of having to delete my old tracks.

Thanks so much for reviewing my friend!

on DEEP BLUE HEART - BILBOZO by Bilbozo
Man, Bill, I've been asleep at the wheel (not good when you drive a Short Bus, ahhaha). How did I miss this fantastic song. Like Dave said, there is not much better than the sound of a Strat in the right hands, and yours are definitely the right hands.

Another magnificent track, from the guitar work, to the composition, to the production. It's always a master's class in how to do things right over here at your place.

Thanks for sharing this amazing track. Faved for sure.

on SABOR A MI - BILBOZO AND CLAUDIA SMITH by Bilbozo
Bill, I always thought you were the star in your family, but then Angela came along and moved you to position number two in the talent charts. Now I know who is really the superstar, and you have officially been relegated to last place, haha.

Wow, what a wonderful song and Claudia sang it flawlessly.

Thanks for posting this love song Bill. Happy Mother's Day to your lovely wife Claudia and how about a standing ovation for the entire family.

Bravo.

on The chase by fixxxer
@bcway, great review, haha.

I have to agree with him. I'm glad I listened to this one during the day, and not late at night. This has tremendous cinematic value. This is one of those tracks that I can actually visualize the movie scene just by the music....and that isn't an easy thing to accomplish.

This inspires me to finish one of my own cinematic pieces. Outstanding effort here and I love the mix on it.

on Fluid Motion by LarzCreative
I was hoping someone could use that loop of mine, and I'm thrilled it was you. Man, you are the absolute king of chill, seriously.

What a great way to start the day. This is absolutely flawless, from a compositional standpoint to the production.

Definitely one for my IPod. If you could send me a copy of this one I would be forever in your debt. Wonderful Henrik.

Faved for sure.

Wow, wow, and wow again. What a wonderful voice. You have major skills young lady. I just wish I worked in those genres. There are a lot of great dance/house producers on the Loop that will beating your door down for a chance to work with you, haha.

Welcome to the Loop. I'm really looking forward to hearing more of your work.

So, I am out here in the middle of the desert, enjoying my first cup of coffee of the day...it's about 68 degrees, no wind......

and with this tune playing in the background, well, it just doesn't get much better than this.

Outstanding work. You more than did justice to that loop. You took it to a whole new wonderful place.

Straight to favorites and thanks for the kind shoutout. Well done.

I have to agree with Wayne. The longer the one went, the more fun it became...almost like some great auditory roller coaster ride. Terrific work, but that is no surprise.

This is a wonderful listen. And for the record, I think squirrels are cool :)

You are rapidly becoming the king of chill. Like Nuada, I loved that vocoder sound you have through the middle section...gives it almost an RnB feel.

Wonderful job on this one. Definitely had to add it to favorites :) Another masterpiece.

Well done.
