I've listened to quite a bit of your stuff and this is the best one by far so you are improving with time and age which is what we all want. Not sure what you've done with this filter/effects wise but theres a very in your face feel about this like I'm sitting next to you playing this. Has a live feel I think. Are you maybe recording with a mic?
Enjoyed it very much. Moody piece.
All power to you.
So dark and worrying! What's down the road around the corner in this darknessssss? You must have one hell of a collection of that stuff by now Phatz. Top sound from a very creative man.
18 cigar box guitars (well, cookie and various tins too) here right now, that's not including the ones I've given away and 2 in a local flea market for sale :D Thanks Silverman, this one is my fav's, such incredible sound out of it! I guess we'll just have to venture into the darkness to see what lies beyond, what's the worst that could happen? I do have quite the collection of dark tracks as well with more on the way for halloween. Coming across some older incomplete ones I'm trying to finish up, if they're worth finishing.
Hey Silverman, sorry for the late reply...should do better I know. You know, I am listening to so many types of music, it is hard even for me to tell where the influence comes from. But it's all rocknroll and I like it ;)
I love this!
Love the way the rather alien guitar appears and fits so well.
I could have handled a couple of more minutes of this easily.
Totally pro sound.
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it, I would have extended the track with more vocal samples but I only had a certain amount in that key so I didn't want to be too repetitive, though I should have extended the flute solo!...ah well, short and sweet I guess..next time i'll stick to a longer format...cheers mate
Dave :)
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much of Man left to get the full picture. I saw Atomic Rooster live at a collage in Manchester but got arrested half way through enjoying myself because I had weed in my pocket. 1969 MAYBE 70.
Bill I'm sorry about that and forgetting to say the rest of it sounds quite pro to me but but but how would I know I'm thinking. My ears need a clean out! I'm off to the clinic this afternoon and I will come back and listen to your lyrics no doubt .... I'll be back!
This is going to sound harsh.
I can't understand any of what you're saying.
Hasn't mattered much in the world of popular music this last fifty years weather or not you could understand the words but if the idea is a message then then it's important people can hear the words.
What I'm wondering is are my ears waxed up because no one else seems to be having that problem>
Have a word with YogeshST about invading others space like he is. It's getting bad already that more and more people are leaving comments and then check my track out bro!
This guy didn't even bother with that nicety.
What I like about this is you didn't take the route of sound effects like helicopters and machine guns men screaming etc. Easy to do that way but not as artistic.
You took the artistic route and painted the mood and the place without recourse to that. Nice angry feel to it.
There's room for some blood to spilled now I think .....
Definiteley needs some vocals.
I can see a guy in a cowboy hat singing on thios but ...
I'm just going to and check the other guy who has sang on this .... I'll be back.
I've come on here today and so far it's psycho and rock which is great for an old fart like me!
Parts of this take me into the track I just uploaded today called Ald Timers Disease which just goes to show those synapses and neurons and dendrites in that old bone casing are experiencing similar sparks and short outs .... which is kinda scary cos I've been short circuiting mine for years!
Definitely mental music for the cybernaughts this one.
Great track.
I highly recommend some DMT should pass your way but make sure you've fastened your seat belt!!!!!
Hey my friend! I enjoyed reading your comments, and your conversation is pleasing! Getting caught up on replies today in between setting up the new lab and "studio B." I seem to remember hearing that track of your which you mentioned, though I'll be able to tell if there is a comment from me on it... it's pretty rare that I don't comment on a Looperman song. I'm happy to hear that I am not the only one who has circuit bent their brain! I always used the term "psychonaut," which must be US spelling and pre-internet. While I have never been blessed with crystaline DMT, I have been using DMT containing plants for well over a decade. Virola bark (DMT and bufotenine with others) has been a constant help to my soul expansion in the past year or so. The dreams I have, wow. I live in a company town based on the Mayo Clinic, so they have done wonders at reducing the non prescription presence around here. It's too bad, as I've been helped far more by street dealers than those dealers who call themselves physicians. I have yet to meet someone on looperman who openly discusses DMT, and for that you have a gold star from me! I'm so looking forward to visiting your profile again! Thank you!
Checked out Man, but not hearing too much similarity there. But in searching I came across some Atomic Rooster. I think they are from England. A bit heavier than Man and the vocals had that upper tenor range to them. The singer looked a little like Tiny Tim and was eating a sandwich in one of the vids. THAT is definitely similar.
No, I definitely wouldn't say it's that good. I'm not quite sure what a perfect piece of music would be though you've certainly got me thinking quite deeply about it.
I could point out quite a few small sections (or single notes) in this track that could be better.
But if it seems perfect to you, I'll accept that.
I guess the first question for you to consider is whether you would want any element of the track to be in any way different. If not, then it might be close to being perfect to you.
Oh man I wanted that to keep going on and on and on!
Yeah I know you've been trying to cut them down but this could fill the side of an old lp for me.
The driving beat that comes in was a dream and it's a dream that it goes out again and we get your talking weeping cello doing things cellos aren't supposed to do.
Psychedelic?
Yes and no.
It was more story telling journey music that words would only dirty. The story belongs to the listener here. No words no video just that awesome music is the story.
Got to go have another listen just to make sure I really like it as much as I think I do.
They're actually both from the same project so are at the same tempo (100BPM) and share a few sounds and settings. Both have strong Eastern elements.
"driving beat that comes in was a dream"
That's two drum loops layered together. They seem to fit so neatly that they sound like one unified sound.
"talking weeping cello doing things cellos aren't supposed to do."
That's a good description and I agree that the new cello riff that kicks off the section after the first drum groove section does have a mad sound to it. It seems quite muscular and powerful but I'm not quite sure why. Despite getting all these weird cello sounds in this track, the only effects I'm using are delay, chorus and reverb. The rest is just playing techniques.
"story telling journey music that words would only dirty."
Only if they're dirty words. If they're interesting/intelligent words they help me make sense of what I've made and give me some useful things to think about and perhaps take into future compositions.
"Got to go have another listen"
Keep listening. I hope it's the kind of music that stands up to repeated listens.
I like this it's almost cinematic. Go great in a tv thriller but ... there's always a but .... you need a little more bvariation in the background ... faint little additions and surprises here and there maybe. You have an individual sound which is very pleasing to me.
I thank you that you take the time to listen to these small tracks that you leave here ..no are , ' ' Pros ' ' because I did not take too long to finish them and are just a test ... but it is always very good that someone from your opinion and that's what I value more : 3

It didn't feel right doing such a thing, I entertained the idea, put it into a few bars, it felt very cheap & generic so I removed it .
Even more room now it's complete! I hope you enjoy the final version :)
