Hello Domenico dear,
I wanted something like a background for joined thoughts or prayers, that's why the level's low .
Thank you for having stayed there for a while .
Wonderful! I always liked this vocal track from JJ but you really made it shine! I love this song man!
Everything is perfect: the fx you apply on the voice (but never too much), the choice of the sounds, the idea of the "stop" and the tempo acceleration in the middle of the song.
Love it.
Domenico
Thanks for the great feedback. The tempo idea came from song called Rush by Depeche Mode where they go to half tempo but I decided to include acceleration.
The song is interesting. I like the synth melody: it is almost out of tune but just that little which adds a dissonant note to the song. Well done.
The countdown voice is OK (nothing too original, but not bad).
Overall a good song.
Domenico
PS: and please let me join the kick debate... it has a lot of highs but I think it is OK so... and I would just add a doubling kick with a lot of lows to have the best of both worlds ;-)
Malu, you have a wonderful touch.
A lot of your musical choices are not "obvious" and I learn a lot every time I listen to one of your productions, regardless the genre.
Respect man.
Domenico
This is good! I am not sure you need a vocal part: if you keep the song as short as it is, I think there is enough going on to keep the listener busy (I enjoyed the 3 minutes of the song)
Ciao, Domenico
Thanks for your comments, I was thinking mostly of a one line vocal hook where the chord change is, I think your right that at 3 mins there is almost enough going on to keep the listener interested. Thanks for listening.
Good track XmafaX.
I like the way you mixed classical elements and metal ones.
As Danke mentioned, probably you could "merge" better the cello (work on the levels? add some reverb? you know for sure better than me how to achieve this).
Good Work! Are you sure it is no available on 180g vinyl?
Too bad! ;-)
Domenico
PS: if you should ever need some bass notes, just drop me a line
thanks for listening and that bass riff on the break is a live recording that i found on a very old Akai disc from way back when. I also have to agree with you that Ms Rabsons vocals in this case are awesome and seem to fit the tune quite nicely,
Really enjoyed this new song of yours Behnam!
I enjoyed boths sides of the "hour" and I really like the "haunting noises" (as Corina calls them) which are following you through all the song.
On the jazzy part... nothing to say! Wonderful bass, the trumpet solo is top-class and everything works perfectly together.
Very well done!
Domenico
PS: I think you are also improving a lot the overall sound quality of your mixes! keep up the good work!
Ciao Domenico , and honoured I'm if U've enjoyed it ,there was two different mood in it as U've said and for me best part was when movement jazzy Bends down to movement one in the middle and by myself I think it was a subordinate level of my trials and grade 2 and nothing was admirable in it .and hahaha (Cor)ina and in fact majority of my friends don't like those hauntong wind which is always blowing in my traX but I don't know why they are always blowing in my mind too and ofcourse my mind has a lot of noise in itself too .any way specially your idea about jazzy part ( according to you know better than me about jazz)and also your important dea about Bass made me glad .thanx for your presence,perception,time,and comment my friend and take care.best wishes.___Behnam.
Very nice!
This is another superb track. I don't know how you manage to change genre so often and always produce interesting stuff!
Good work!
Domenico
PS: I didn't know that Indians had synthesizers but they fit very well in the mix ;-)
I fully agree with BrillBilly: the song structure is perfect. The arrangement I would say you can only improve the mix/eq, and Billy had a good advice here.
Personally, I would apply different amount of reverb/delay for the quiet parts and the parts where you have more going on in the background.
Overall... wonderful song! Really professional. Respect.
Domenico
PS: I simply love the small vocal bit which you have in the beginning with a lot of echoes
Hello Domenico,
Thanks for commenting and giving me some pro advice. Im currently fiddling around for the first time with some reverbs and levelers on the vocals... and YEP you're absolutely right: Different reverb on the quiet parts is definiately the way to go (just found out through extensive testing).
So hopefully with the advice from the nice Looper-people taking the time commenting and guide the noob Ill be able to upload a version 2.0 soon :D
Wonderful Song (with capital "S")!
I specially enjoyed the intro part (which makes me thinking more of "middle east") but also the rest (which I feel more "indian") is really good!
Simply Wonderful!
Domenico
PS: on the weekend I had lunch with some Indian friends, this would have been the perfect soundtrack!
I'm very happy and deeply touched by your comment, Domenico .
It's always a joy for me to please my friends .
Take good care, my friend .
Bacione dalla Francia ;)
Wow! This is very intense.
I really love the vocal melody at the beginning and at the end: you have a good voice.
And the piano part in the middle, with the gunshots in background, is really moving. Maybe this part is even "too much".
Wonderful music!
Domenico
Nice track. Enjoyed it.
I could feel some type of "relaxation" but the synth-arpeggio part is building some tension as well... so we could tell it has been a "closure" but there is still a lot of road ahead of us. And on that's how it usually is in real life.
Thanks for posting your music.
Domenico
an old training it was man & I'm glad if U think I have done it as I wanted in allegro tempo Domenico .your Idea makes me become sure about that .and also I appreciate your taken time & usefull comment.Ciao___Behnam.
NIce one man!
As soon as I have listened to this poem from JJ I thought it had a lot of potential... and you have exploited it!
Well done!
Thanks
Domenico
Nice song. I really like the acoustic guitar, sounds very interesting. The guitar-solo parts are also nice, but it would be interesting to hear a vocal part as well on this one.
Good work!
Ciao, Domenico
on Looperfam prayer by janis71
Thanks!
Domenico
PS: I think that the level is indeed a little low, maybe you could apply a limiter to the vocal track and then normalize the level.
I wanted something like a background for joined thoughts or prayers, that's why the level's low .
Thank you for having stayed there for a while .

I have really enjoyed it and your arrangement shows a good taste: light and gentle, highlights the wonderful vocal part.
Good job.
Domenico
PS: Have you thought of posting the acapella for it?
I think your vocal part could work very well also in a more "rock" context.
