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.
Clever.
Lily und Wulf I don't know but she sounds wonderful.
Shamoozey I'm familiar with and find something very interesting about his voice. But hell it's so far out off the norm that he's very difficult to do anything with.
For me that is.
You've pulled it off here and made an interesting piece.
Thanks for listening. I wasn't aware of Lily und Wolf either before last Thursday. I was just scrolling through the female acapellas while playing my raw track. And there was a perfect match. And as far as Shamoozey is concerned, to be honest, for me, because he is out off the norm, he is rather easy to work with. This is my 4th track in which I used his vocals. He just gives my clean and software produced tracks a raw edge that I am looking for.
Don't put yourself down mate that's what we're here for!
No seriously I'm just an old fart who has a hobby and I post my stuff. Sometimes I get great feedback sometimes not.
I listened to it all the way through .... always a good sign and it sounds just fine to me. One criticism from me is .... needs a little more variety chucking in there.
You are right, I was thinking of using the repeat as a chorus and adding a new intro and in-betweens, kind of like 'rising nuclear sun' or 'I'm fine really'. This was just an experimental track I made and ultimately somebody wanted me to use it to remix their song. And I had to adjust it for better or worse to neutralize the tambourines in the background of his track. Not that it worked too well, but it sounded more interesting than the original. Looks like it will be a while before the new version gets uploaded. I'll probably do it in LMMS just to test-drive the software. Listening to your work you are definitely a long lost golden relic of the 90s will definitely follow some of your work in future. Danke's and Tumbleweed's works are already starting to shape my style and take it in new directions. Anyways, thanks for pointing that out. I'm lucky to such good feedback here, this is definitely a community full of quality musicians who too can be mentors with a few amateurs like me in between. lol.
Wow powerful!
It hit my sadness button.
So so sad.
So many tears have been shed by so many people in this scene but at last it's over.
It will probably never be the same but at least it's over now.
Brilliant.
No no no I don't think the word brilliant is right here.
It some how takes away from the pain of the piece.
I'm lacking the vocabulary to use a different descriptive wor/phrase .... I'll be back.
Very interesting reaction I wouldn't think of..I mean, do
you really find it so immensely sad? In fact you're the first reviewer to mention sadness and even strongly emphasizing it ! I agree there are apparent waves of melancholy but I really wouldn't think of overwhelming sadness...Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely excited about your observation cauae it makes me really curious now and I would be glad to hear some more about your view...afteral you're saying you will be back...and you are most welcome my friend..:)
