I've even listened twice because I can see it is well put together and I'd like to get past my prejudices but nope.
This time I sat and closed my eyes and right from the off I sensed a game show host with slick hair a neon smile and dancing girls in sparkly shoes aimed at the average family and remembered why I got rid of my telly twenty years ago.
I didn't get all the way through.
Sorry mate but Simon says no.
You probably think that this is something that would disappoint me, but you have made me happier than you'd think. I am sorry that it reminds you of unhappy thoughts, but I have modelled it on a genre that is a reflection of consumer society. It wonders how to deal with multiculturalism and the downsides of technology. In this song, I have basically surrendered to that feeling and I went with the flow. It ended up a lot more cheerful than I was planning on. I had the concept of neon signs in mind and I went through with it.
But, unfortunately the song in its nature is the exact opposite of what you are. But still, I am glad that it triggered the feeling that I tried to transfer. Thank you for your story and your feedback :)
PS: Also, I am really glad that it sounded professional to you. Thanks!
I'm coming from two sides at this one ... one of which you probably won't like but here goes.
It is very well put together.
Professional even.
You obviously know how to produce music.
The downside for me is it is absolutely soulless.
A bit like the consumer society I feel so uncomfortable living with as I see it devour the planet and its inhabitants.
I was born in a big town did the city living but now live in the mountains.
I am happiest amongst trees and rivers.
To get me anywhere near a neon world you'd have to drag me.
So as you can see I'm biased in the extreme.
Last time I visited London I was convinced I was in an open asylum.
Couldn't wait to get back to my mountains.
So I see a soulless lifeless work of the consumer mentality from a very good producer.
50/50 from me.
I am totally busted, If i could only remember '69....you know what they say ,"if you can remember it you weren't there".Seriously, I am honored with your comment,sounds like we experienced some of the same pleasures in our younger days. Thanx Silverman.....Doc
From the title I presume your intention was to create a monotone drone?
Why?
Is it something to do with a style or are you planning on adding to it later?
I ask about style because being a wrinkly I'm out of touch with all these genres and not up to speed with latest styles and ideas.
When you say needs a rapper is that because the rap would more easily become the focal point?
The vocal becoming the main instrument if you like?
Thank you for inquiring so deeply! :) I titled it "drone" thinking of the type of drones that one flies. Nothing to do with musical drone sounds actually. lol.
I would like to add a rapper just to round out the track, but I do believe the track stands well on it's own. :) Thanks for the comments!
That intro!
I'm thinking surely they must have noticed how muffled the vocal is and before I've finished thinking it the vocal blossoms.
Very neat.
I don't know the song but this is very well put together.
Listen with headphones?
I've discovered that uploading stuff at a low bit rate can render stuff pretty crappy to play on your average cd player in car etc. So headphones are the best for most stuff I would think here and Reverbnation. If you're a cheapskate like me and only have a free Reverbnation account!
Left me scratching my head this one.
Not sure where it's going or what kind of input you're looking for on something so short in length and content.
Grow it a bit more.
I didn't comment first listen as my head was full of another track still.
Came back for a second shot which I only do if the first listen did something for me.
So this did something positive for me but to be honest I'm not sure what still.
There's a bit of confusion in my head like this is a number of tunes thrown together to become one.
Some nice synth sounds here but something isn't quite right.
I'd be interested to know what makes this Hip Hop.
I ask because I am useless at genres and I have no idea why this is what it's labelled as.
This needs vocals to breath some life into it.
On it's own it's a bit flat.
Doesn't seem to be saying anything or going anywhere.
The longe parts are ideal for some vocals though.
Dear Doctor,
I just listened to some of your stuff.
So much potential!
People are listening to your stuff and hardly any comments.
I'm sure it's because you're not mixing things down.
All the tracks in each tune seem to be playing at the same level.
No breaks no pauses no changes.
When you get something going you stick with it and keep it repeating.
I know that place.
It's because your enjoying that moment so much.
There are some great sounds coming from you.
Stop enjoying yourself so much in those headphones.
Stop with the self indulgence and edit your work.
If you do I think more people will stop by and leave comments.
Seriously some great sounding stuff but too chaotic.
Thanks for your considerate input.I actually do this to be self indulgent
as I don't receive pay and just do it for my pleasure,I'm not that concerned
about folks leaving comments and there may not be any listeners that enjoy
my edits. Minimalism-inpressionism is sometimes a tedious genre to listen
to and not all will enjoy it.I am grateful to Looperman and the members
for allowing me to express my "art" in my own way and appreciate any
and all input.....Doc
This is truly an honor to receive a comment from you, further that you've
listened to more of my stuff is more than I would ask for.You have been one of our favorites,we wait to hear your creativity,thanks for your great input....Doc
With determination I got three quarters of the way through but it was unpleasant to be honest.
Calm it down.
It needs mastering.
There are some great possibilities but no one in or out of their minds could .... I might be wrong.
Lets see what others think.
Whoaaaaa!
Psychedelic for sure but but but it's completely mad!
Somewhere in there is a great track but at the moment it's just a huge onslaught a wall of noise!
There needs to be some breaks some pauses some changes to the wall of sound that is so overpowering I can't get to the end of this!!!!!
Of course you are right.This is like other of my tunes "minimalistic"
not really edited to separate(but edited).Not for all to listen, but I appreciate
your input....thanx,....Doc
I know this pella!
I downloaded it and tried so hard to fit it into all manner of things and failed.
I think you've done a great job with it.
113 plays 6 downloads and no comments!!!!!
I fail to understand that.
I think you've done a pretty nice number here.
The only thing I don't like is that naked hit ending.
Other than that nice tune. Very nice.
I can find little wrong with these lyrics mate.
The little I can find is they are a little muted.
Apart from that this is a great little number.
Leonard Cohen the king og gloom never took anyones advice about his lyrics.
Been a fan of his for getting on fifty years I think.
One of the greatest lyrisists ever in my book and no .... never been depressed in my life.
His pain is wonderous to behold. Magical even.
Keep doing what comes natural to you.
This is pretty cool stuff.
Where does the vocal come from?
There's a lot to be said for keeping it uncomplicated and getting this slick clean sound.
Old man music rules!
