Practice makes perfect, but for 2 hours...!! Jealous!! :p

Wouldn't that be called improvisational playing? I love doing that!! That's how I do lead guitar and bass, don't think about it, just play letting the feelings flow. Thinking will cause you to mess up everytime! Love acoustic guitar. Well done.

Definitely would work as a closing track. Sounds real good on my stereo too. I like the piano interlude at 1:31, I think the vocals (singing part) should come back one more time at 1:41 then back into piano then into that ending piano at 2:02, just my thought. Cool song :D When's your album going to be coming out? I've been meaning to put together a concept album with video, always sidetracked with something...

This is awesome Joe! I was wondering how that was working out. Retro as hell for sure! It's like a vietnam protest song, only this time we'd be protesting isis. Killing each other solves nothing... Love it! I have more unfinished retro type jams, I'll have to share, maybe we can make some more like this! One of my favorite eras in music. So much soul and emotion went into the music of that time, with the turmoil going on the world then and now... :D

There's a raw intimiate beauty to a singer/songwriter just playing and singing from within, no amount of production perfection can match. Very cool 8D

Love the pella! Music fits with it perfectly! What a ride. Do you rust in the shower? being so metal and all... ;) I love metal with that 'world' sound to it, like folk metal. Hope you got more like this coming. I got a celtic loop pack been hoping to work into some metal tunes. Check out Dalariada. Ever seen accordian, oud, fiddles used in metal? HAhaha! If I remember right you use vst guitar, that sounds so real could've fooled me and I play guitar! Good to have your music back to enjoy :D Hope life's treating you better now.

I love seeing more composers getting involved in the composing for art. It's excellent inspiration and a blast!! This gets my vote, as it fits very nicely with the picture. That was my second choice, I went with Trees and Distant Mountains for my entry. Even if you don't qualify this month, next month I'm sure will be holiday music so there's more chances. I don't care about a prize, it's rewarding in itself. Hope to see more from you on there :D The music brings me to the rivers edge as it flows along in the setting light of the sun. To me the melodies represent the different things going on like the flowing current and the drifting clouds. Absoluetly love the different interpretations we all have of different pieces of art. What an enjoyable ride! I'll be watching for the finished product.

NIN vibe for sure :p Ever heard Controlled Bleeding? They're similar electro/industrial experimental from the late 80's early 90's.

speaking of hungarian bands, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_FJEoXwkNE and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F7b4skyUy4 HAHAHA Bet you'd never expect to see bagpipes, accordion, fiddles, oud all used in metal! You'd probably like a band called Faun. They use ancient acoustic instruments combined with modern musio, not metal but very good. Alot of your music reminds me of their style. I got a hurdy gurdy vst hoping to make some music with soon as well as loops. Love acoustic guitar, I need a full sized one!! Very cool track! See hat great things come out of experimentation, as long as your not making bioweapons (zombies, monsters, viruses, ect) that is LOL!

add 'at yahoo dot com' to my name. Mp3 or wav is fine. I'll see what I can do with it and send you the wav files. Key refers to the scale used for composing, simply put. Not big deal, I'll figure it out :p I can only read enough music to where it no longer looks like chinese writing to me hahaha Maybe BS will send you something too and you can layer it all making it a looperman jam session like this one https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/143435 :D

Cinematic is a pretty broad genre. I can picture this in one of those nature videos. A herd of elephants grazing and meandering about in the grassland. Where it gets a bit more intense maybe the males are fighting for dominance, then it mellows out like the mother elephant tending her young. Excellent piece, you truly are a master painter with sound.

Lead guitar and bass would finish this nicely :p What key, bpm? I play both ;)

What about the zombie wars? I love the use of sound fx, it's so addicting LOL! I like the concept. Ever see the series 'Life after humans'? Nature retakes what was once hers erasing the damage we stupid self important humans have created. Well thought out music and deep concept, excellent job. That's the best stuff! :p Artificial Intelligence, no feelings, no cares. Will kill all humans and not be effected until they realize we were needed unless they learn to care for themselves.... possibility!

The Hills have eyes is a horror movie set in I believe the Arizona desert mountains. There's a group of deformed people, deformed by radiation and pollution as well as inbreeding, living in the hills killing anyone unfortunate enough to travel through there. Wrong Turn is similar. There's a group living in the woods of Virginia. Similar to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies. Quite violent. The song with the pic is like being in the woods having escaped the hill people and seeing the freedom (the light) but can we make it before they catch up? This is the first scene from Wrong Turn 2. Enjoy this grossness :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmOggklDl6s

I see the light and an escape from these dark woods! But I'm scared of the light hahaha 3:D> Very cool you two :p Makes me think of Wrong Turn, the deformed hill people killing everyone that comes into their woods, like The Hills have eyes. Mona's looking better, I see she had some serious plastic surgery.

WOW 2 tracks!! Overwhelming, I mean what are you going to do with all those LOL! Can you play ukulele like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtwXdKkO75E 3:D> Muhahahaha!! Still waiting for your duet with Joan Baez ;) Well done TA, I love folk.

panning instruments will help with the overwhelming of each other. Each instrument should get it's own space. Like double the piano track for example, then pan them out 40 percent each R and L. I double the drums and pan 20 percent R and L.Vocals center. bass center or 10 percent panned L and R to widen it. All personal preference as for how much, which instrument ect. but it helps. Practice makes perfect :p Sounds good. Vocals line up nicely, and I know that can be a challenge sometimes! :D

That's me sitting next to Danke in this smokey Looperman Lounge watching and enjoying, as you and your band play for us :p

Alright! a party in the morgue!! Horror for sure, love it! 3:D> Can I play with the bonesaw?

I died a long time ago but my ghost continues to search through the books :D Just stopping by for the corrected version. Thanks Byleth.

YAAAYYY!! Elder Scrolls! :D I'm on a quest for the endless library in the realm of Apocrypha. Shrouded in mist, surrounded by acid filled seas, what lurks in their murky depths,I don not know or want to! I trudge forward, when suddenly I spot it poking out of the fog!! I enter and gaze in awe at the seemingly infinite shelves of books stretching out in all directions. I join the ghost inhabitants frantically searching through the non descript black bound books eternally seeking the knowledge of the ages until I as well become a ghost bound to this existence. :p Very cool epic track!

Zombies.... Got to to love 'em :p I'm sure this is a very common scenario during a zombie apocalypse. Will they still eat her brains, even though they have to scrape them up? Good thing she didn't hang herself! She'd just come back and be stuck hanging! Love it :D
p.s. your track was in the final drawing for the halloween one.
