As creative as ever Mister Dragon! I'd love to have a peep inside your mind for a whole day. I imagine it buzzing with lyrics .... things you made up .... things you heard and things you read .... all vying for position in the room marked creativity. Must be a big and busy room. I can see a thousand words ever tumbling over one another while decisions are struggling to be made on how can I put this bit and where can I use this and oh wow those words and that message are wonderful I must get it out there! Your head is like a beehive of buzzing activity.
My one criticism is your voice should be louder. The whole piece is quite gentle but a little to gentle. The message in the lyrics box needs declaring loud and clear. You need some fire and brimstone. You need to be bashing that pulpit with a sense of urgency. Eight out of ten for creativity ... ten if that voice can be fronted up.
Brother Silver.
I am humbled by your feedback and oration.
I wanted the message to be the main focus on this track, hence the simplicity (gentle) of the track.
If the voice seems a little less, i guess it is the 'sub' bass that is bringing it down. But i did test the track on my little stereo and it seemed fine. But mastering is not in my field, usually it's just a quick mixdown for the final track.
Yes the poem/lyric has an urgent message to it for we are living in the endtimes, and yet many seem oblivious to this fact. The heart grieves when the eyes see people living in ignorance. And the timeless writing of Hosea rings true in that "My people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge(vison)".
But we who are free must continue to be and they that are blind must strive to see that this life is all vanity, that this life disappears quickly, and we are here now and tomorrow we are gone.
First the genre thing.
I have no idea why this is classed as hip hop.
I'm 63 which doesn't help. We all get stuck a lot in our own time zones with music as you probably will yourself ... to a degree. The good thing is being amongst creative people on a place like this you get to flit about and enjoy all manner of stuff. I/m finding that I'm commenting on a lot of hip hop tracks. Because I'm enjoying them. I have this distorted view of hip hop being young black guys who wear their hats backwards and say yo a lot and do funny hand movements. But like I say I'm finding myself commenting on more and more of this stuff but it just sounds like good music to me. Good for film and tv production. Listening to this with my eyes closed and my hat on the right way round I was on a city street with the sun just going down and someone counting their money on the corner of an alley way.Have I got enough to hit a few bars tonight and get a cab home ... if I can avoid Johnny yeah cos I owe him twenty quid and that could ruin my plans.
I didn't check the genre by the way till I was settling in across the road from the alley watching this guy.
Okay I might be crazy but music paints mind pictures for me .... puts me in movies transports me top places and this tune did that. If it does any of that I listen all the way to the end and often .... come back and listen again ... see if the guy caught his cab.
Excellent little piece.
First and for most I thank you Sir for the kind words
I am truly humbled,having taken the time to appreciate and listen to my project one is always happy to get such feed back from people who acknowledge and give recognition
I am truly happy that my music can draw imagery to one mind.I am glade that this is more than just a beat but music in general and Please keep inspiring us with your projects too love the textures that you use in your own piecces I am really honored
kind regards

Great piece and I have to agree about the loudness. The levels need sorting. I know I know my wave forms are almost a block but I aint as talented as you so I've got a good excuse. It sits well with the description.
I'mn interested in space and creation and evolution and the whole science/religion/philosophy of reality ... struggling trying to understand quantum mechanics just now which is a truly mind altering substance in it's approach to reality. I'll give this a few listens whilst reading.
I came up with this recently ... I think it's my own as I don't remember seeing it hearing it or reading it but ....
The very first sentence in the Bible is very short but full of the whole of the creation of reality .... or I could of course just be slightly bonkers.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Beginning ... a reference to time.
Created ..... a reference to energy.
God .... a reference to spirit.
Heavens .... a reference to space.
Earth .... a refernce to matter.
Hey the tune was good and I'm downloading it!
Hey Silver, thanks for listening man!...unfortunately I accidentally reset my operating system win 10 just after I made this track and lost all the files, so the level issue will just have to go down as a victim of the loudness wars! lol...the trouble I find with the word of God is essentially it is always the words of men you hear, God has never made an appearance and until he does I am not taking any sky pilots interpretations as fact...thanks again for the listen mate, and no more level issues in the future now that is something you can take to the bank! cheers Dave ;)
I had to fave this one before I got half way in!
I know the genre for it too.
Umpa Lumpa music.
How the hell you're really supposed to describe this I don't know. Maybe .... unique.
It's dark and I was expecting Joe Kramers voice to pop up at any time. This one I've found quite inspiring.
Thank you very much for your comment. As I heard it sounds a bit like dark wave music. I didnt know it by the time I made this track. I just had a fun time making it :-). Sorry for the late reaction though. Had some family matters which took all of my tiem for teh last 3 months.
Very unusual. Kind of circus theatrical. Sounds very complex like a lot of hard work went into this and there is so much going on yet it isn't crowded it isn't squashed mushy. It's actually open and spacious. Very creative and works brilliantly. How I don't know because there's definitely a touch of the asylum here.
Thank you Silverman for another enjoyable comment to read! You are right, there was a lot of work put into this, but it was worth it. The "circus theatrical" comment is interesting, as I have been known to mimic circus/carnival type sounds in the distant past, but not so much consciously any more. I have however been watching the film "Repo: The Genetic Opera" obsessively for the past couple of years, and there are some things in there which may fit that description as well. I've tried hard to expand the dynamics of my songs recently, and I think I'm getting the hang of it. I've never been in an asylum, but if I acted upon all of my urges, I probably would be... since I have the disability to warrant it. Who knows?! Thanks much for listening!
I have no idea why this is hip hop because I simply don't understand all these genres people keep making up! This to me sounds cinematic tv theatre and very good too. Be great in a telly scene of some kind.
Your not alone in the struggle to be creative. I have long periods where I'm not happy with much of what I produce but I've learnt to save stuff and maybe go back to it later maybe not. Some of the people on here arte not only exceptionally talented and creative they are prolific too .... very. Wish I could be like that but it's not happening. A drum a cymbal a hi hat a rim shot a bit of smooth synth or guitar something as smooth as the the rest of it. Maybe something a little muted like a bass of some kind. But to my ears what you have there just now doesn't sit right.
Yeah, I hate when this happen. Unfortunately this is the longest this has ever happened to me and I was starting to get a little scared. Maybe, all I need is a little inspiration.
I'll try out those suggestions for the break,and see if it works for me. I also agree this track, does sounds like it can be in a kids movie or series.
Very pleasant piece.
Two criticisms.
The white noise kind of rush which I myself use lots at 1.05 doesn't belong in this piece it's not needed.
Second it needs a couple of break points tempo changes whatever to just break it up that little bit. Otherwise I found it very relaxing and very well put together.
Thanks silverman! I agree, the white noise does sound a bit out of place. I'm not too sure what I would replace it with though, as the transition doesn't sound complete, if I just leave that part empty. If you have any ideas, I'm all ears :).
Those ideas about the tempo changes and break points sound great, I'm going to give that a shot and see what it sounds like.
My thirty two year old daughter was visiting and just downloaded this!!!! That tells me this is a highly saleable commodity. Not my scene but IO've got to admit this is very pro sounding. I can see why you were drawn to this pella. You've done a grand job of putting some music to it and I hope the vocalist appreciates your efforts but seriously my daughter has never shown the slightest interest in theis place and what we do. Someone just got a new fan.
Very pro sounding.
Thank u Silverman!
Funny this thing with your daughter
I Really had fun working on this pella
If u need some guitars for ur tracks let me know.. ive already put a couple of riff on my loop section..
Bye
You have fantastic voice quality Joe.
I know I've said it before but you have.
There's definitely a touch of Kraftwerk about some of your electronic stuff. Very dark this but very uplifting at the same time somehow.
Very creative.
Always nice to read that you like my voice.
Also nice to know that the track works in a way.
Light and shadow, love and crime, dark and uplifting :)
I really enjoy it when someone like you say that i am very creative, cause that's where i always going for.
Yo Mister Dragon.
Nice to see you being as creative as ever.
Unusual approach this one but works nicely.
You and Joe Kramer are my two favourite voices on here.
You both have a very distinctive voice quality that is perfect for story telling poetry reading singing and especially electronics.
Hi there brother Silver. Was nice to hear from you.
Yeah i like the idea of taking concepts from differing genres and alligning them together to form a vivid picture or story. This extended version was an exercise in finding balance between sounds, bringing in a new sound and dropping one off and vice versa.
Yes i have not done any spoken word for a long time, in fact i have not written for a while now. Other goals have come ahead but will try later on in the year when i get time off work.
Take care my friend and stay original.
Blessings - B.
I faved this yesterday but seem to have not posted the comment I made. This is a beautiful piece of music. Do you put your stuff in a library or index kind of thing for selling to film companies advertisers etc? I have a friend who does it with photography. The reason I ask is it's all very well giving us the Privilege and the pleasure but it deserves a much wider audience.
So good to hear from you after quite a long time ! Thanks alot for your positive thoughts on this one and for the fav! No, I don't put my music into any of that kind of things for now, but I'm aware of those sorts of oportunities and who knows what the future might bring....:)
I like this banging stamping cartoon anger!
I get anger but anger with humour.
It's almost joyful but angry.
How that works I don't know.
Criticism: Needs a bit more variety.
Brilliant.
Takes me back to eighties moments with New Order and the Hacienda club in Manchester NoRth West of England.
gREAT ATMOSPHERIC STUFF THIS AND TODAY i Think I will get the chance to have a full listen to your reverbnation stuff.
Nice work Joe.
I hope you could enjoy this extreme collection on reverb :)
I know that i should sort it a bit more out but there is really mostly all from the very beginning (1984) to now (2016)
Nice to see that you could enjoy at least this track again.
So thanks again for the listen and the comment
Wow!
The first bit that got me was .... the description of what lay before me should I press the play button.
An unusual description to say the least and maybe a bit over ambitious but nope .... worked just fine. Set the scene for me and I settled in with that story and that feeling and that place and what a decent family they all turned out to be too!
I do a lot of looping and then editing and effecting etc and piano electric or other wise is so far to difficult for me to get right. My big challenges at the moment are adding vocals and using piano. At the moment I feel I'm beginning to get there slowly with the vocals but the piano will have to be for another time.
I've also tried a few approaches to jazz but oh dear so cold and automated and soulless.
This sounds like the real deal.
Not only am I well impressed I'm a little inspired too.
Fantastic little number that sounds genuine and warm and very real.
Hey silverman thanks for stopping by and taking a listen. I know what you mean. I have been doing this for about 15 years and you dont what to know how many projects I had to dump. My first try at jazz was 55 MPH take a listen took about 7 months of trying different things here and there to get the feeling. I will stop by your stage a take a listen Keeping plugging it will fall in place.
Very different sound quality to the norm here!
Unusual stuff and well put together.
I feel flanging to my man.
Look forward to hearing more like this one.
All my songs are original lyrics, except "I Need You Girl", which is a Loop-fam mashup of several submissions including myself! I appreciate your time given to listen to my offering!
I am like a cat :)
Once i am dead i just take one of the left life's i have.
And sure it is true, cause you know that the Devil owns all the things you need for good music - sex and drugs and rock'n roll :) ..... ok, i am a little liar cause i only was dead but i didn't meet some of the "big bosses" there. Maybe they only chill out with you when you stay a little longer.
Good to read that you think the music sounds good.
