on Trial-and-Error by soundhound

Hello TG, This new guitar is sounding really nice. Good quality to it, digging what you did with this mix. It's cool how you took that sample and turned into some really good. Good guitar expressions can get you feeling really good man WoW. IDK where you put this under as well but I definitely see this being used as movie media, goes for a lot of interesting scenes that can tie together a mix of stories.

I have nothing to add but a positive comment, it's one of a kind for sure. Keep doing your thang man and I appreciate the share. Peace.

on No Mot Juste by GramoChopin

I still consider it one of your best piano pieces Neo, For me this early morning holds magic with the listen here. Digging all the little splashes of paint you put into this. That change of pace around 2:00 mark is exciting. My favorite part about this is the ending half 2:00 and after. Really nice visuals and ideas here dude. Creative material from your archives. You've been doing more piano work like this lately?

Thanks for sharing, Peace.

GramoChopin replied 21st Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks man, appreciate the feedback. 'You've been doing more piano work like this lately?' Nah but I'm going to incorporate some piano work on "In The Midst Of Chaos II" which I want you to feature on. This was a warm up. Glad you enjoyed

on Ederlazi home made version by janis71

Well hello again Carole you did have a good sense of timing to release these deep messages. Dig the instrument sounds and vocals, did you put everything together yourself? Felt cinematic to me I liked it and your voice and lyrics really share a strong view of hope. Nice. I enjoyed the ideas here, thanks for sharing. Peace.

janis71 replied 20th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Hello Dave,
Nothing much to say about the "music", honestly.
It's just so moving to get back here and come across friends like you...
Thank you from the bottom of what's left of it.
Take care.

on While My Rhymes Gently Weep- Prod By Designed Impr by MrHughes

Whaaa! I missed this? Damn. This is actually really good for what it is. This is the 2nd take I've heard someone applied vocals too and I was impressed!

Who's that on the chorus with you? You did both takes? Goes good together why I'm asking. Hey you never know, there's ppl out there than can do that shh man.

Diggin the audio clips in the intro. Ruff transition but worked. Good sense of direction over the instrumental, it is a bit of a challenge to work with and it sounds effortlessly owned haha Good job keep going. My bad about being late, I always am tho I somehow find a spot to make it in. Thanks. Peace

on Snake In The Past by Spivkurl

I got the change to hear this one on SC and I really enjoyed it there as here too. I thought you put some really cool ideas into this one. Vocally you keep surprising with the way you go about it. Thought it really adds great to the atmosphere of instruments. Your lyrics really stick in the head and mostly you've achieved this. Great psy work man I appreciate this. Thanks for sharing it, Keep going!! Peace.

Spivkurl replied 24th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks for leaving a comment here as well! Really much of the time that went into the song was practising to get the vocal part just how I wanted, and it's good enough. A lot of the recent time was spent getting accustomed to FL 12 though... had to figure out how to transition my unfinished stuff to the new version. Without saving as a zipped loop file, the project was totally jacked up. Once I did that, all went well to finish it though. Anyone who hears it lucky that it's only words I stuck in their head... it could be far more painful... heh. Thanks again for stopping by!

on Traffic Jam by Spivkurl

Well that was one traffic jam that didnt piss me off haha. I mean you can hear some anger in the sounds but you make me smile about it, creative work. Good you finally got around to finishing her up. Has this retroness to it, I dig it! Definitely liking the lofi control to it. Keep doing it Pat! Thanks for sharing, Peace.

Spivkurl replied 24th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Ha ha, honestly I have little to no experience with automobile related traffic jams; on the contrary I am a professional pedestrian, so traffic jams are not so easy to pin down. The sample at the end refers to this sort of traffic jam... where you get out of someone's way or let them go, and they treat you like a retard... Really there is only a couple seconds of anger in the whole track. Have many more songs in the works, but lots of other things in the works too, so it may be a while like this one. Thank you very much for visiting this song in it's various homes!

on ephemeral by Neomorpheus

Perfect expression of that moment of thought. Intro is a favorite which is followed by some nice guitars. Agree that all situations can server as motivation for creativity. It's what you do with this sounds, and as here its used well. Thanks for sharing, Keep at it! Peace.

Neomorpheus replied 17th Jul 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks DI. Yeah its so true about how certain situations can effect you. Emotion is a very strong influence. Glad you enjoyed it.

on Because I Love You by wemert

Nice atmosphere here. Piano is really sweet. Vocals add a gust of thoughtful wind through a window of the broken heart in search of knowing what one feels. Yup this is decent with much imaginative interest. Thanks for sharing, good work, makes me think to this special young lady in my life. Keep at it, Peace.

on JAweGuy - AMATA by JAweGuy

Hello JG, I usually find some great traditional cinematic pieces from you. Nice how you build and create from within the moment of your life, it is reflected in the music.

Nice sense of time and placement with this one. I really liked when the strings came into play and took the story beyond. Really cool share, thanks. Keep at it, Peace.

on By The Ocean - A Recording by BradoSanz

It does sound like being by the ocean. Though from inside the room day dreaming about it (like in some videos). The voice covers up the background in some spots and in live takes you can still hear the background and whatever voice over it (example would be you hear the beach sounds then you hear the voice in a small room). Sweet setup though, sounds like a fun jam for real. I felt like I was watching a scene from a movie more than being at that ocean. I Still dig it ER. Very nice work! Peace.

BradoSanz replied 25th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

Yeah, since it's a soundscape I wasn't too worried about getting it "perfect"; but it was still really fun to make :P

Thanks for stopping in!

TG, man real smooth what you did with Xyilent track. I really like this version, I feel the chill and its sounding too good.

The guitars are a great addition, tones are peaceful playing chill to the max.

Outstanding music. Thank you for sharing the trip with us.

Have a good 1, Peace D.

soundhound replied 11th Jun 2015 - 11 years ago

Really glad you like it...
A simple piece, didn't want to complicate it by over playing it
if I did, I would have missed the point of the chill feel...

Thanks for taking the time to stop in and commenting...

on I cant make you love me featuring Lisa Worth by RichieWinn

Dang, some real words with some real power. Don't think I've heard the original, nice song here. Lisa voice has a nice feel with the instruments. Really enjoyed the keys here, like how it's played, smooth with it. That chill organ is very nice. Everything sounding clear in the mix, maybe the drums could be a lil louder is all. Lisa has a strong voice! Cool share thank Richie. Peace.

RichieWinn replied 28th May 2015 - 11 years ago

Hi

The original is worth listening to if only to compare Lisa's performance (I think it holds up to comparison very well indeed). Yes, I agree, it's a fantastic vocal performance with real passion and emotion. Your comments on the production are rewarding too and being a percussionist myself I can always accommodate louder drums!! In this case however I just wanted the vocal to shine and hope I've managed to achieve that.

Thanks again for stopping by - much appreciated.

Best

Richie

on Basso Continuo by Evisma

2:20 - Really like how the bass is played and tone/sound. Wah in sickly done. Nice outro mirror. Visual of a vinyl spinning til it reaches the edge.

The synthetic midi drums in my opinion sounded very cool with the real bass. The update and additional features sound complete E.

Mostly enjoyed the second half of this, though there's a section in the fist that had me thinking deep. 1:13 - 1:55.

The more involved groove at 0:47 - 1:09 and 1:56 - 2:17 doesn't sound bad, adds to the the flavor of the track and a quick change of scene which is cool, just not really connecting to that piece to well after hearing the other two badass sections for me.

Thanks for referring me here, Interesting share and take from the other songs from your page. Yeah man, more bassage, because you're like a lead bassist which ain't bad, pretty cool. Good work here Evisma. Peace.

on montagsmorgen by promenade2239

Dark city club music. This would be freakin' cool as background music to that type of scene visually. Can visually see brown and grey clouds passing by fast as the day counts down, people moving quickly through town, zombies with credit cards. Sleep walking selling their soul for a unworthy price.

Makes me think to some Paradise Fallen: Humans Disease. This is really interesting. Like how you got the instruments moving yet steady holding together. Wonder to wander music here. Nice outro I've heard in a bit, adds to the mystery.

Good delivery of ideas here, cool vocals too, aside from the lyrics that song hits another level of the conscious, expand your views kinda product. Thanks for sharing, Peace.

promenade2239 replied 19th May 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks a lot for listening to this one and some interesting thoughts. That's very fine vision you pictured. Indeed I was going for dark moods but I must say I was never too much into pictorial aspects of music. My main focus is always on the sound itself so even spoken german words are ultimately only 'just sounds' to me. Also I think the en translation below might not be very correct as the original message is probably slightly different. This song was written originally as a darkwave heavier electronic piece. My actual take is not very proper darkwave but still works...I hope. So overall yes, this is more serious electronic production of mine. I will be going further with electronic explorations these next weeks for sure.

Thank you again for listening and nice words. I appreciate that. A.

on Fish in Coral by DanGoldstein

Does sound like deep under water near scene of the coral rock and life movement below. Goes with the picture to over at the site. The image is real clear and the colors mix well with the sounds you built to them. The arp synth gives it that extra something, getting real good at these surrounding environments Dan. Has a sense of alert gets one focused and tuned it. How things been? Peace.

DanGoldstein replied 24th May 2015 - 11 years ago

i'm really happy if it is working for you with the art. the "arp" was some patch from Harmor synth I think. can't even remember! I am really learning that the initial choices of instruments make a big difference in the success of the track. Initial choices - ha! bit of a lesson for life there! always happy to be hearing from you Dave. re

on Play It Hard- feat Benito Layton by srob1234

Woah, This is very interesting. Like how you mixed these ideas together. Nice hook, new side to you vocally. Good use of the rappers flow, nice to hear the song move along as one piece, constant flow. Good work with the instruments, chill yet powerful, helps the vocals get the message across.

Levels sound really clear, clean. Are these loops dl or created yourself? Thanks for sharing, play it hard tonight! Peace.

srob1234 replied 18th May 2015 - 11 years ago

Thanks so much for the kind comment! :)

Some of the loops were dl, and some I created. All were mixed together by me though.

And I made a HUGE boo-boo! I forgot to shout out to those who made the loops I downloaded, so to all those loopers out there...I can't remember each one that I used from... sorry! (yikes!)... but I credit you, and you are amazing!!! :)

on Sad Viola by LOOPERGIRL13

Really like that viola and how you used it. Then opening phrase is great. Nice dream splash cymbal sound. Like the movement of the following section has a good bounce to it. When the drums enter the track becomes stronger, the intensity you've built sounds like a maker of magic. Traditional cinematic, still sounds good to this day. Thanks for sharing, creative sounds. Peace.

on 9000 Years Too Young by StaticNomad

Yo, Wsup SN, My favorite part is the very cool guitar screaming at 9:24. That makes me feel great man, Thank you for expressing that the way you did.

I noticed when the track hits 9:00 the master volume gets a overload feel. I dig it, just letting you know it's noticeable a bit too much. It's the delayed guitar it starts exactly at 9. Goes with the following distorted guitar though.

Is that a voice sample or synth? Interesting sound and affect to the track. Dig the chillness of the beginning half of the track. Cool drum work in this one. Really clear and visionary. The music as whole does take you beyond our own world and into another place. I can't really describe all the pieces you put into this but I can say every piece carefully played sounds great man. The switches is great too. When funk hops.

Thanks for sharing, I dig it. How you been SN? Peace.

StaticNomad replied 15th May 2015 - 11 years ago

Word up and wassup, DI.

I'm quite happy to hear of your problem with the new lead bass guitar section starting on 9:00. It's one of those transitions that I just couldn't get quite right.

I'm not sure if there is a problem with the volume jumping a lot but I will listen again. I seem to remember that there's a problem with the synth choir cutting out a bit so that it feels like a bit of an abrupt jump to take us into that new bass guitar part (one I very much enjoy). I should go back and fiddle to see if improvements can be made.

At 9:24 I keep pretty much the same bass riff going (with some variations) and simply turn the plugin distortion on. No guitar there, just bass as it's doing all the work of the guitar and we have synth bass underneath for low end (as in most of the track). I love to take things a bit badass and I think I've got that section labelled as something like 'euphoric bass riffage' in my Reason project. Definitely a highlight.

And then the distortion gets automated off as we drop back down into another variation on that bass playing.

"Is that a voice sample or synth?"

Technically, it may sort of be both. I'm just using one synth patch but it's granular synthesis so look up what that is, if you don't know. Basically, the waveform is, I think, made up of tiny little pieces of audio. In this case, it's female choir voices. Powerful sound and I apply pitch bend at various points to make it weirder and more psychedelic.

Yes, pretty damn chilled for a few minutes and then the heat gets turned up a bit. Got to happen so that things don't get boring and so that things can go up and down in intensity and mood.

"Cool drum work in this one"

Yes. Yet again, I'm using a couple of hip hop kits from the Hip Hop EZX. Great stuff but this only sounds a bit like hip hop in places. If you listen closely you can hear that some kit parts are clearly hip hop-associated drums though I add some other rock and metal kits as well.

"How you been SN?"

I've been OK thanks, just finishing up the editing and mixing of another female vocal jazz track from 4 years ago called The Second Law Of Self Love. This one's better than the jazz female vocal one I posted last week (Inner Beauty) and will be arriving in 128K MP3 format at a Looperman website near you in a few days. Two singers this time and the swinging jazz is very deep.

Thanks for your interesting thoughts.
