Really nice work here. Great introduction, then it moves into a wonderful section with the Spanish style guitar. This one is nuanced quite nicely, with a buttery smooth mix on it. It would be nice if a vocalist could take it to that next level. Until then, it stands nicely on its own. Well done. I hope all is well.
The first thing that grabs my attention is the musicianship in this one. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can ever replace real people playing real instruments. This is stellar work, displaying the real talents of all involved. A beautiful work of art that helps cut through all of the noise of our busy lives. A tip of the hat to all involved. Really, really well done. Thank you for sharing, and for allowing a download. I will listen to this often, when I need something to calm my nerves, or to just put a smile on my face. I hope all is well.
Hello Bear and a big thank you for your very gentle comment... I really appreciate. You're right, it's really nice to have some friends and musicians who are involved in my "little" compositions! A chance too to have these people who make excellent loops here on Looperman. Thanks again... and sorry for my english, I speak french.
Outstanding jazz piece. There hasn't been a great jazz pianist on Looperman since Pedro Casillas ( https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/168005 ). It's a rare treat to hear work like this, especially on Looperman with its proliferation of hip hop and trap producers. This one is so damn good, love the textures on all of the instruments. I can picture myself in a club listening to this while having a really good scotch over ice. Terrific job and a huge thank you for posting quality jazz work. I hope all is well.
Brother, I absolutely love your music. First let me say how nice it is to hear a real musician play real instruments in this digital age. While I appreciate virtual instruments, nothing beats a live recording. Your ability as a composer is really off the charts as well. This one is so well planned out, something John Williams would be proud of. Absolutely a 10/10 as my friend Danke says. You set the bar really high and it is always a pleasure to hear your terrific work. Again, thanks for sharing. I hope all is well.
The concept and flow of this one are really solid. The only thing I hear is a few clicks in the mix (that could be from splicing loops maybe). If you revisit the mix and clean that up it would be top shelf material. The fact people like it is obvious from all the love it's received in just a few short weeks on the loop. Well done. Keep posting the fire. I hope all is well.
First let me say, if that is you on vocals, you have mad skills. I would love to hear the vocals a little bit more, just a bit, to show off your talents. Second, let me say that this has a tremendous amount of commercial appeal, it is well thought out, and executed really well. The mix could use some proper engineering and after that, you could have something that could chart. Anyway, please don't mistake my comments as criticism, I just think this one has mad potential. Keep at it. Your skill sets are good enough to take you places. Well done. I hope all is well.
So my wife and I go to Universal Studios Orlando each year for their Halloween Horror Nights. I guarantee you that this track would have worked spectacularly in several of their "haunted houses" or "scare zones." Definitely a well thought out track that supports the vocals really well. Mix is solid. Heck, the whole track is solid. Outstanding effort. Thanks for sharing. I hope all is well.
First let me say, it sounds like you've been gone for a bit, and if so, this is a great way to return to Looperman. Outstanding track Joe, with a lot of suspense. Vocals are outstanding as has been mentioned. Mix sounds spot on as well. Really well done Joe. Happy Halloween. I hope all is well.
I am glad to be back. To much work and stuff around the last year. So i wasn't able to create to much real songs. Nice to read that i came back with a track you could enjoy. Always good to read so friendly words from a real musician like you. My own claims are from time to time higher and it pleases me if you say that I am reasonably successful.
So thanks a lot for your really friendly comment!
Maybe not all is well but the most real important things are. Also happy Halloween Bear.
Another stellar effort by you and another of your songs added to my favorites. I liked everything about this one, terrific dissonant piano work to the tension provided by the strings and all in minor chords to give it that unhappy feeling. I don't hear the messy bass referenced by Indieground, but I'm listening on headphones so there is that. Anyway, really good tune and I look forward to your jazz horror album as well. I hope all is well.
So I am not a fan of dubstep, but if I ignore the stuff I don't like, this song is beautifully done. I also think the section from around :43 on with the piano is about as good as it gets. I understand dubstep, I am like the Deadpool character in that I just don't like those bass wobbles. Production is really solid and the underlying music is a 10/10 (gorgeous chord progressions). Again, I really liked what you did here, but I would love to hear this one without all the glitched bass stuff. But then it would be EDM or pop or something and that would defeat the purpose for you. Anyway, I ramble. Good solid start to what could be a real winner for you. I hope all is well.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and provide some feedback. I worked quite a bit to get the mixing and mastering down, so I'm glad you noticed. I'd love to experiment with new genres for this song and see what I can come up with. I can definitely see a chill or a pop version with vocals. Much appreciated.
Nicely done. I made the mistake this morning of having the studio monitors cranked a bit and when that bass kicked in, it rattled the rafters, haha. I would imagine there are more than a few rappers who will want to jump all over this one. Thanks for posting. I hope all is well.
Burton, how is it going? So, I moved to Florida and live right next to a big old pond with gators and snakes and mosquitoes and heat and humidity and this song absolutely set the mood for me. Love the sound from the new 4 string, looks like you crafted a winner. So good to hear something from you, especially one that sounds like my new life haha. I hope all is well.
Good to see you around Bear :D To the swamps of Florida from the dry deserts of Arizona, quite the change! I hear the weather is crazy there being surrounded on 3 sides by ocean. If if helps I have a swamp in my yard :)Going well, I've been very busy in the cigar box guitar world lately, not so much time for writing, recording and interacting on here as I'd like, trying to change that. FatKnuckldeFreddy performed on a 4 stringer with the same set up at Maine's inaugural cigar box guitar festival this summer. I had to make one!! Even got him to sign this one at my last luthier show. I just made a 2 string 34 inch scale cigar box bass with another Boneshaker box and my own 2 pole handwound pick up, recording soon to come.
So, one of the biggest reasons I've loved Looperman.com for the past 11 years is the sheer amount of hugely talented people who post their hard work. Now I've gone and discovered another talent that is just waiting for the world to find them. Terrific work on this one, everything from the lyrics to the vocals to the arrangement, to the mixing and mastering. I think you took a swing for the fences and hit this one out of the park. Absolutely outstanding work!! I hope all is well.
I always know before I hit play on any of your songs that I am in for a real treat. This one is no exception, but it is quite exceptional. The first thing that jumps out is the clarity of the mix, dynamics, arrangement, and the musicianship. The violin just is absolutely the cherry on top of this musical sundae. You truly are a master of this medium, Leon. Absolutely beautiful. It will go nicely with this morning's sunrise. Thanks for that. I hope all is well.
So sorry for the very late reply Barry....I somehow overlooked your comment and I wasn't around here for a long time...it happens sometimes..:) In any case thank you so much for your kind words of support...means the world !
So I am not a fan of dub (I'm like the lead character in Deadpool), so I wasn't expecting much. However, this one was a really pleasant surprise. The percussion definitely stole the show (at least for me). I would definitely listen to more dub if it all sounded like this one. Really enjoyable tune, mixed properly, and served with just the right amount of spice :) Well done. I hope all is well.
Hey thx for you kinds words mate
It's very 70's reggae style i think, try to put some analog white punk vibes in it with a touche of Grace Jones...
Cheers
Maj, this is a really, really solid effort. Mix is just razor sharp and I really enjoyed the different transitions into the different sections. Outstanding effort, but I would expect nothing less from you. Well done. I hope all is well.
Hello Bear,
How are you doing?
I am very sorry for the delay Bear,
Time, you know how it is.
Thank you very much for your feedback and it is a great to hear from you.
I hope you're keeping well.
Thanks again.
Maj
Great guitar riff (I always have had a weakness for great slide guitar). The only thing that was missing for me was some kind of a chord change/bridge or something. Don't get me wrong, I loved what you guys did, I just think there is so much more that you could do with this one. Anyway, that's just an old guy nitpicking if you know what I mean. Stellar work though. Thanks for sharing. I hope all is well.
Really nice work. It is a well thought out project that flowed extremely well. Lot of little subtle nuances in it that work nicely together. Loved that chord change you made on it. Enjoyable experience from start to finish. Production is spot on as well. Thanks for sharing. I hope all is well.
"I already had that." F'in brilliant lyrics bro. This one is absolutely top shelf material. Outstanding effort from start to finish. This should be this year's breakup song. Really well done!! I hope all is well.
Ah, Neo, as usual your work on this one is a master's class in playing, composing, and production. Seriously brother, it's like listening to Mayer or maybe Jonny Lang or one of the other greats. They always say the tones in the hands and in this case, they are so right. Beautifully performed. Thanks for sharing. I hope all is well.
Wow that's quite a compliment Bear, I certainly appreciate the kind words man. Tone is always that Holy Grail we are constantly striving for. I was purposely thinned it out a bit more than I normally use in this, to give some what of a twang. But still wanted it to sound good. I actually use two distinct guitar tracks in this with entirely different set ups.
So this is really good work. We go to the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando each year and I can definitely hear this one playing as we enter one of the haunted houses. Excellent work. You should be proud of this one. Keep up the great work. I hope all is well.
Laurent, you are one talented bunch of musicians. Drum work is so good, as is all of the rest of the instrumentation. Composition is really spectacular, especially the use of Patrica's vocals. There is nothing to criticize here, just a great display of musical ability. If you guys ever take your act on the road, let me know where you'll be playing. I would love to see it live. Well done. I hope all is well.
Hahaha bear, thank you so much for this reply, it put a smile on my face reading it. I'm glad you think the mix is good, I don't do a lot of cinematic tracks, mostly trap so this was fairly new for me. :)
Thank you so much for your time and the listens, glad I could create a whole vibe to pîcture yourself in a different scenario
Another great effort from you. Love the tone of your voice, has that nice warm buttery feel to it, with great pitch. This is another song with just the right amount of accompaniment, allowing the vocals to shine through. Lyrics are really impressive as well. I enjoyed this one from start to finish. Thanks for posting and sharing your talents. I hope all is well.
